 * ACONCES- Kentucky

Political Party - Democrat Senate member - John Yarmuth** [|**http://www.yarmuth.house.gov/**]

=**Bill number -** **SB 14**= I am working with DMatt Our bill is named SB 14 Release Payroll Warning. This bill focuses on the economy and how people are losing their jobs, along with their money. It was made to help citizens who have been released from their occupation, because their employer couldn't afford to keep them on their payroll, due to the economy. It will give the employee one more month to be on payroll, even though they are not currently working there anymore.

Three issues that are important to me:

 * Economy**- Our economy is important because it goes along with our main issues that we may be having today. We need a plan that is affective to help people get employed.
 * Environment**- Our environment is important because what we do to it now will effect us later. What we need to do is find a different source or renewable energy to be able to get the same amount of energy without harming the Earth.
 * Health-** This is an important issue because, with the bad economy, people can't afford health care. Some people are in need of help, but they just aren't getting it. We need to be able to offer inexpensive health care options and plans for people.
