State- Arkansas Political Party- Republican (weak) Congressperson- John Boozmen [] Three most important issues- Economy- I think the economy in the United States is really bad. People are losing jobs all over the country.We need to start over and make it better so that it doesn't ever get like this again. I think this is important issue because without a good economy we will never have a successful country. Energy and enviorment- This is also a big issue. We need to find a better resource other than coal and oil or the polution will get worse and we will run out of those resources.If we were to use more resources like wind and solar it would help are country a lot. Immagration- Immagration is an issue because the immagrants are coming into the U.S illeagly and getting jobs that U.S citizans could have gotten. They are also bringing things like drugs which doesn't the country. 5 facts about my state- Arkansas capital is Little Rock Arkansas biggest city is Little Rock and its population is 183,133 Arkansas population is 2,855,390 Arkansas seceded from the Union on May 6, 1861, following months of bitter debate among its people. Arkansas smallest city is Warren which has a population of 6,442 HB 70 My group's Bill- We made a bill about lowering taxes for buisnesses so they can have more money so people can keep your job. We are trying to lower the tax from 35% to 15%. People should vote for our bill because it will offer more jobs for people who really need it.
