ADEBORD


 * ADEBORD: IOWA **


 * POLITICAL PARTY: ** Independent

**CONGRESS PERSON MOST LIKE ME:** Chuck Grassley [|grassley.senate.gov/contact.cfm]

Criminal Justice: ** We should stop crime against children because i believe that is just plain cruel. We should prevent and end existing street gangs. They are causing trouble for many people, even if they are just fighting other gangs (there have been several instanses where they have shot and missed there target, and hit an inoscent citizen or child. This has happened many times already this year.) I support locking up criminals, however the punishment and toughness of our jails should be increased. Obviously we are not harsh enough because people keep commiting crimes after already being in prision (if jails w ere so bad, that should not happen). Drug crimes and Hate crimes should also be prevented, along with violence crimes. We need to make sure that our nation feels safe and prevent them of harm. I also beleive that victoms should be hered and that we should help them to recover.
 * ISSUES IMPORTANT TO ME:


 * Econemy:** At this point in time, our econemy needs a great change. Many people and buissnesses are in great dept. Thus the buissnesses can not aford to pay all of their employees, who then loose their jobs. So now we have people loosing jobs, companies becoming bankrupt, and rising taxes. I beleive that in order to fix this problem we should propose the massive tax rebait. By using the massive tax rebait we will keep buissnesses running and people employed. We will be back on track and out of this little depression.


 * Education:** Education is a very important issue in America. I beleive that every American citizen has the right to education, no matter what race, backround, or gender. Education is becoming essential in working in the job force. In order to get a financialy well paying job, you are basically required to have a college degree. Every American should not be denied education. We should help students financialy to go to college by giving them loans and lowering the education costs. We should also raise scholarship funds. Other than college, we need to make sure that children are getting good education in elimentary to high school. After all, knowledge is the key to success.


 * 5 STATE FACTS: **

-male inmate population is projected to exceed capacity by about 11.2%, by mid-year 2009.
Bill Information: ** 6% of the criminals in the United States commit 70% of the total crime. And of that 6%, repeat offenders commit at an average 10.3 misdemeanors or minor crimes, each.that means that a small portion of criminals in the United States are responsible for a large portion of the crime. Repeat offenders are the ones who make up this population. In order to decrease crime durastically in the United States, we have proposed the "Increase Repeat Offender Consequences" bill. In this bill we will double the offenders consequences at their second offense. That means that the offender's jail time and fine will be doubled. The officers will not be leneint at all either. No more Mr. Nice Cop. We want to make their consequences so bad that they will never even dream of committing another crime again. If they do commit another crime they will be punished even more seveirly. Our bill will lower the crime in the United States. SB 17
