Congressman Moravec

Member of the Democratic Party. I relate most to Kansas Congressman [|Dennis Moore].

Down here in sweet Kansas we know our stuff. This stuff includes thoughts about national issues. Some of the most important issues to me are...


 * __Education__**- Children are born. Children grow up. Grown-ups get jobs. Workers vote. Voters have the power. So, the children of today are the voters of tomorrow. Without proper education, these children may not know how to react in the workforce of the future. With uneducated people, we could have uneducated leaders. With uneducated leaders, we get unsought choices. These bad choices affect the people. We can't live in this cycle of stupidity. So, we need to teach children starting young, so they don't make the wrong choices that will affect the future.


 * __Economy__**- In my head, I see a crisis hitting America. a financial crisis. I believe our problem is there are not enough jobs. If we can start making jobs for people, we will have more consumers. These consumers will buy form producers, building financial bonds. Efficiently, we have created a strong economic cycle.


 * __Energy__**- America is spending too much time and money looking for more oil. What we need to do is focus on a cleaner future. We should start investing in the research of renewable energy sources. Not only will Americans have cleaner air, but cleaner futures. Clean environments are the side effect.

Some important FACTS:

1. Kansas's unemployment rate is a high 6.5% as of March 2009, the highest is has ever been. 2. During the 2003-2004 school year funding for Public schools was 1.35 billion dollars. 3. The number of drop-outs on average is one drop-out for every seven students. 4. The three main focuses of alternative energy sources in Kansas are Wind, Solar, and Hydropower. 5. Today, wheat fields, oil-well derricks, herds of cattle, and grain-storage elevators are chief features of the Kansas economic sources.

I am currently putting the final touches on HB64 with my group members AHayes and DDorfman. HB64 focuses on bringing renewable energy sources into major companies. With this, America will be able to start cleaning up our Air and bring some efficiency into our corporations. Not only will this Bill lead to a healthier environment, but a future stable economy as this will bring many jobs in construction and technology research.
