__Political Party-__  Independent __ Real Congressperson- __ Andre Carson __ their website- __ http://carson.house.gov/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=73&Itemid=78 __ 3 issues- __ 1. I believe environment and energy is a very important topic because if we don't take care of our planet our grandchildren will grow up in a bland, adventure-less world. Also a bad environment is bad for your health. 2. Immigration is an important issue because it can effect the growing unemployment rate and also illegal immigration, in some cases, could be putting U.S. citizens in danger. 3. I think education is also an important issue because that determines the rest of your future. If you do not do well in school then you could be working at McDonald's and living with your parents for the rest of your life. The education in the U.S. is good but there are many ways we could make it better to make sure everyone exceeds their full potential. __information about the bill-__  Our bill is about trying to bring sn end to illegal immagration. We plan to make a 30 foot wall across the U.S.-Mexico border. We plan to use government taxes and we also plan to raise taxes to pay for it. Though some peopls may not like the idea of higher taxes, we should pass this bill because with no more illegal aliens there will be more job oppritunities for U.S. citizens. Also it will cuase taxes to decrease a little because there will be less people in the U.S. that your taxes support. In th e long run this bill will boost up the economy. __link to its wikipage- __ HB 29 **__facts about Indiana-__**  <span style="color: #ff8800; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">1. 88% of Indiana's residents are Caucasian, 8% of the residents are African American, 4% are Native American, Asian Americans, or those of multiple race.
