I am a Republican.

The biggest issue to me is the environment. A lot of people don’t really seem to care much about it. Companies want their land and money, and our government is taking small steps to helping, but I don’t see them as too effective. The alternative fuels and pollution seem to need the biggest help. There’s no place for us without this planet to live on. Love it or leave it. I think things should be done to protect it. Our grandchildren won’t ever be able to see a polar bear. Land should be used better then it is and cars should run on fuels that are renewable. Recycling should be something more people do.

I also believe the economy is important too, not only does the environment get much better when the world has money to spend on it, but if it doesn’t get better, we’re going to have the “greater depression.” It seems to be a huge problem to solve, but I think if the government would fund a few different things, it would get much better.

My last issue is health care. If people are dying from things that we can cure… that’s kind of an issue. Health care in France comes from taxes. I think that’s a smart solution.
