IMPORTANT ISSUES: The issue that is most important to me is health and safety. I find this an important issue because the health and safety of the people is what matters most. The bill i am proposing: SB 29 is going to make the testing and side effects of drugs further tested before being approved by the FDA and being let out to the citizens. A lot of drug companies are out to make money and commercialize there drugs, but they are not worried about the horrible side effects these drugs give. They can pose a threat to the people and even cause death. Now why does the FDA approve them if they are not safe? It is all about the money. Our bill will make it safer and healthier for the people. Examples of FDA approved drugs that are not safe: Gardisol- This drugs was approved by the FDA even though they had an awareness that this drug was not effective to girls to prevent cervical cancer. It can also pose a threat to girls who already may have HPV strands. The FDA even states that there is no direct connection between cervical cancer and HPV. There have been severe side effects such as seizures, and even death.

Another issue that is very important to me is the Environment and energy. I believe if we keep going in the direction we are, we are ruining the environment. If we use smart energy it will help save the environment, such as using hybrid or electric cars. Also using wind turbines to create energy. This is a much more environmentally safe way to produce energy with natural resources.

Another issue that is important to me is national defense.We need to be able to keep out foreign invaders to protect our country.We don't need to have illegal immigrants coming into our country. National defense is very important because it will protect the citizens of America. Things That can help with this are increased border patrol and guards. The problem with this though is it can be very costly and it will take a very long wait to cross the border. The congress person i am in most agreement from Utah is [|Jason Chaffet] I am in most agreement with him because he is a republican as well.
