Dana Cassidy, Montana, moderate Denny Rehberg, http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/?&Db=d111&querybd=@FIELD(FLD003+@4((@1(Rep+Rehberg++Denny))+01657)) [] I agree with Denny Rehberg because -he works to keep Montana products local instead of exporting their goods between other countries -supports the Native American Trabal Lands, beleives that government should help Indian reservations with expenses -supports locally grown food and local buisnesses -supports alternative resources

5 facts- -7 people per square mile -only one representative for the House of Representatives -agressively mined for gold -unemployment is 6.6% -3 electoral college votes

5 facts that relate to my issues- -7 American Indian reservations -3/4 of the land is used for raising animals and agriculture -60 million acres of land is used for ranching and farming -The U.S.A. protects tribal lands and welfare of Indians -Montana has many rivers including the Great Divide

3 issues of interest 1. Native Americans- There are still long-standing issues for Native Americans such as the honoring of trust obligations and the recognition of tribal treaty rights by the U.S. government. Indian Tribal lands are not independent nations but are "domestic dependent nations." The 1924 Indian Citizen Act made Indians Legal citizens. But, Indians still do not have the same rights that other American citizens have. I beleive that Indians should get the same rights because they are citizens of the United States due to the 1924 Indian Citizen Act. 2. Freshwater- Access and control of Freshwater is an issue when freshwater is located on a political boundary. The Envirnmental Protection Agency has a watershed management plan. I beleive that Freshwater should be protected from pollution through the watershed management plan. Through the watershed management plan laws will prevent pollution. 3.Genetic Engineering- Genetic engineering is the process by which DNA is altered in order to improve the life functions of an organism. It is used for the production of transgenic plants and animals. I beleive that the production of transgenic animals and plants is okay because it can make cow's milk more nutritional and plants that contain vaccines. This will help poor contries receive cheeper medical help. I also beleive that if the genetically modified foods are sold that they are labeled because people deserve to know how their food was made and what's in their food.
 * __My Bill: http://mockcongress2011.wikispaces.com/HB80__**
 * __Purpose__**- Our purpose is to decrease the amount of energy (nonrenewable) used by factories today. This energy is released into the environment as CO2, hurting nearby communities, by causing disease, and the atmosphere everywhere else. We want to protect our Earth and the people of the Earth from dangerous gases and chemicals. This bill is one small step in the right direction.
 * __How It Works__**: The "Increase Use " Bill is designed as an insentive bill. Our bill proposes that companies with factories and/or powerplants that are currently using all (nonrenewable) energy to power their factories and/or powerplants are offered the opportunity to use a renewable energy source. The federal government would pay for half of the expenses for the renewable energy source and the company would pay the other half of the expenses for the renewable energy source.
 * __Why Should People Vote for HB80__**: To increase the use of renewable energy sources in the United States. The increase in use of renewable energy will create a safe atmosphere and environment for the generations to come.
