Congressperson: Sheila Jackson-Lee [] (R)

Issues: Enviorment- I believe enviorment has a major affect on the united states, we need to keep the earth we live on safe for the people of the future to come. National Defense- This issue to me is verry important because terrorism can cause a nation to fall apart and lose faith in the government. Civil Rights- Although this topic has been taken care of in the past, still today people are treated unfairly because of race and do not feel they have equal rights.

House Bill The bill that we are proposing gives overseas soldiers who have been fighting for atleast one month a higher yearly raise of 15,000$. We believe they should be paid more for their works since they are fighting for our country and are away from home and most likely living in rough conditions, knowing that they have a risk of losing their lifes everyday.

People should support our bill because it will give our troops a little more enthusiasm to be where they are and fight, also it will help the outcome of troops who join the forces. One last reason they should support this bill is that the people who are fighting for us deserve it and we should honor them and their familys for their hard work.
