My issues: Rising college costs, environmental safety, and public safety.

The congress person most like me in Frank Lautenberg. He seems to be in favor of keeping the environment and public safe. He sponsored a bill that was to improve airport security, which I think is very important. Also, he is in favor of supporting the health care bill, and so am I.

Link To My Mock Congress Bill

This bill is called Major Businesses Going Green. We are proposing this bill so that hospitals and other major businesses can install solar panels on their roofs to save more money that they can use for hospital equipment. People should vote for this bill so that hospitals can save money on energy. If they do this, the hospitals will be able to spend more money on tools that they need.

Five facts that are related to my issues
 * If nothing is done to reverse global warming, sea levels could rise which would submerge beaches under water, and flood New Jersey's land over 9%.
 * Tuition and fees at New Jersey’s public colleges increased about 4% by the state legislature.
 * Textbook rentals have been contributing to rising college costs in the Northeast part of the United States.
 * River cleanup is needed in New Jersey for fresher water.
 * Recently, New Jersey was hit with major flooding, and it will take a while to get certain areas cleaned up to the way they were before.

My three Issues This issue is important to me, because in a short amount of time I will be looking at colleges. The cost of colleges across the nation have been gradually increasing, and it is an important factor in which college i choose to go to. Environmental safety is important to me, because pollution is greatly affecting the world. If we don't start taking better care of the world, there will be an uprise of poor living conditions. All of the bills that Frank Lautenberg supports have to do with public safety, for example improving how clean the water is, securing chemical facilities, and making sure that students at college know what to do if there happens to be a campus fire.
 * Rising College Costs
 * Environmental Safety
 * Public safety

The Bill I am Sponsoring []
 * ======__S.318 - Secure Airport Terminal Act of 2011__======

One of the bills that Frank Lautenberg is sponsoring is to increase airport security. I think that this is very important to have more security around airports, because thousands of people fly every day, and they need it to be as safe as possible. People should support this bill for their own good. If they don't, they have a greater risk of more events like 9/11 happening again. This bill is beneficial to everyone, so people should be in favor of it.
