HHAUGHEY- ** Iowa **

Political Party: ** Independent Issues: ** Civil Rights, Economy, and Education Economy: ** I believe that the economy is very important right now. Many people are losing jobs and are not able to support their family. This is causing many problems because as people start to lose money they buy less which is causing other business' to suffer. I believe that the country should start investing in making a cheaper and more efficient fuel source. Education: ** I believe that every child should have the right and oppourtunity to go to a good school and go to college. Many people cannot afford things like school supplies and this is preventing the children from going to school. Then, once they graduate from highschool, many cannot afford college. I think that colleges should be more willing and welcoming to people who need an education. I also believe that every child should have the same rights. State Facts - ** As farming in Iowa decreases, the government is trying to diversify its jobs by opening up training programs to the public. In Iowa, out of the 1.8 million registered voters, 600,000 are Democrat and a little over that are Republican. Iowa only follows Cailfornia and Texas in agricultural production and their cash crops are corn and soybeans. Iowa sends five representatives and two senators which gives it seven electoral college votes. Three fifths of Iowa is used for agricultural purposes. Iowa supplies about one fourth of the hogs sold in the United States. Top 10 Sources Citation:

 * Where I Stand**:
 * Civil Rights**: There should be no discrimmination based on gender, age, race, etc.. Every person should always know that they have their own natural rights. They should all have the opportunity of new jobs and other different activities.
 * Information About Bill:** **HB 36** Our bill is about the illegal immigration that is going on. There are about 12-20 million illegal immigrants coming over to the U.S.A every year. The number is not exact because many sneak in. Our bill proposes that a wall is put up along the Mexico- U.S.A border. It will be heavily guarded and everyone will be examined thoroughly, no matter who they are. This bill should be supported because decreasing the amount of illegal immigration will increase the number of jobs and the number of people with jobs. Our economy is suffering right now and many people are losing their jobs, but if we get rid of a main source of illegal immigrants than more jobs will be avaible. Blocking off illegal immigrants will help the economy and overall, the United States of America.
