**__ Democratic Party __**

The senator that I agree with most from North Carolina is senator Kay Hagan (D) []


 * __Issues that are most important to me:__**

Education: I strongly agree with Senator Hagan on this topic mainly because she believes that educational programs should start at a very early age and extend beyond high school, preparing us to compete in a global economy. Hagan wants reform in the educational system which I believe is a fundamental step to get America back to the status it was once at internationally.

Budget and Economy:I believe that President Obama and fellow congressmen should work harder to cut wasteful federal spending and working to pay down the enormous debt that one day my generation will have to deal with. I also think that we should propose lower taxes to the hard-working middle-class Americans because I believe they deserve it.

HealthCare: I believe that health care should be a right to everyone and that affordable, reliable health care should be available to all citizens. It's the governments job to protect and serve us and an important piece of the well-being of the nation should be the health of its citizens.


 * __Five North Carolina facts:__**

1. North Carolina currently has 195,236 people unemployed, or 4.5%.

2. The percentage of students in the 8th grade that finished above average on assesments is 7%

3. Number of seats in the House of Representatives: 13

4. Alcohol traffic related fatalites: 553

5. From April 1st, 2000 to July 1st, 2008 North Carolina's population has increased by 14.6%.


 * __Our Bill:__** **SB 1** Our bill is about border control and illegal immigration. I think these are very important issues right now in a recession as bad as this because illegal immigrants are coming here and taking away American jobs from American citizens. Ilegal immigration can also sometimes bring with it problems such as violence and drug trafficking, which are both issues that we cannot afford in economic times like these. If you support our bill these problems will be abolished once and for all and we can put more money and attention towards more important issues.
