=﻿Michigan= AJ Suchovsky Moderate class

The representative I am most like is Mike Roger. I am most like him because he is a republican and I am more of a republican. Roger is trying to help the economy; I want the economy to rise also so that everything can come back to normal before this ressecion started. Roger also wants the Iraq war over with and to bring soldiers back home, I would want this because, this is the longest war the U.S has ever had. Also stopping the war, the U.S hopefully slow the taxes that are on us to pay for the war, and it will save the U.S millions of dollars. For these reasons, I am similar to Mike Roger the most.
 * Representatives: **

Facts:

 * The eighth most populous state in the USA, after California ﻿, New York , Texas , Florida , Illinois , Pennsylvania and Ohio
 * 11th biggest state
 * Shoreline is longer than every other state except Alaska
 * Michigan has around 40 ski resort
 * Michigan has around 150 lighthouses, the most of any U.S. state

Facts that relate to my issues:


 * Michigan made the anti-terrorist act which says that all citizens have the right to know what danger is happening to them.
 * Western Michigan University helps find ways to upgrade the militaries vehicles to protect our soldiers.
 * Most of the people who enlist in Michigan end up in the Army.
 * In Michigan about seven of every 1,000 young people ages 18 to 24 enlisted last year.
 * There is only one base which is Selfridge Air National Guard Base

The military is having trouble trying to find more recruits and have thought about bringing the draft back since there are not enough soldiers to fight. The majority of people enlisted in the military are mostly from poor back grounds while officers are usually from richer nicer back grounds, so the government is thinking of making it required for every young male or female to going the military or a civil service to reflect how good our nation is. The military allows women to join, the navy and air force let women to take part in few combat roles, while army and marines don't. I think we should let woman engage in combat and make everyone join the military or do a civil service instead of making the poor minorities have to fight when back home we treat them poorly. And when they do come home they should get a lot of therapy before going back into the real world a getting thrown in jail, committing suicide, and becoming homeless. Making everyone do a civil service or joining the military will make us closer as a nation and we will not have to go into a draft force fully making people fight when they could choose a job that is part of the military. Or they can be a police or firefighter making our country safer inside the borders. We are one of the only countries to have a volunteer military service. For nearly 2000yrs countries have been trying to create rules to warfare. As strange as it seems because war consists of killing people and destroying things, there are still rules that have to be followed. One of the first elements to war is it has to be a good reason, not just because you want to, also declaring war had to be made by lawful authority. A third element added to the rules of war was countries to establish a just peace at the end of a war. Terms of any settlement must not be excessive in relation to the goals of the war and the causes that prompted it, nor could it include provisions for revenge. The fourth element to war was to amend the first three elements to protect civilians during war. And the fifth element was to protect wounded and red cross veterans while helping the wounded. All around the world leaders are calling for an International Criminal Court to deal with leaders of other countries that violate these rules and to make the punishment more severe. I believe we should create this because it will help stop terrorist leaders taking control of countries like Sadamn Hussein and Iraq. If we have this International Court the countries of the UN can come together and punish violators to the rules of war. Weapons of mass destruction consist of chemical weapons, biological weapons, and nuclear weapons. Even though biological and chemical weapons do not cause mass destruction, they do cause high casualties which make them fall under mass destruction with nuclear weapons. In 1945 only one country had nuclear weapons and as of 2005 nine countries nom have nuclear weapons. Though the U.S. and U.S.S.R. have both reduced their stock piles nearly 10,000 bombs from when they were over 30,000. Though no one has ever used a biological weapon it is still dangerous because there is still research going on and it is still a weapon that can be used. Also major powers have been making chemical weapons which have been used and will kill a lot of people, plants, and animals as well. In 1993 the Chemical Weapons Convention banned the creation of chemical weapons. Countries are still debating whether WMD’s have moral qualities or immoral. I think immoral qualities because it takes years to get them out of our air supply on earth and millions would be killed. But other countries say it’s just another way of killing and winning battles and is not as bad as someone getting blown up. While Countries against them say that bullets are aimed meaning they aren’t dropped somewhere and killing everyone, even civilians which is a rule of warfare not to kill civilians, and who ever uses the WMD usually wins that battle then the war. If terrorists get hold of them, they could start a world war and nobody will live. Organizations have started to try and destroy these weapons or make it so no one can make the weapons but they can only slow the spread but cannot prevent it

Bill:
 I am purposing this bill purpose is to stop the flooding of advertisements in your email, or unknown email messengers that keep sending people advertisements repeatedly. Many of the emails contain viruses that may infect your computer and damage it or can take valuable information. Also it can take up a lot of email space and can make important emails get lost when accidentally deleted with the spams if you don’t want to go through the emails.

 The way it will work is the FCC will create a website and people will pay a dollar to be on the do not spam list. If someone spams the person multiple times and they are on the list, they can report the site and the FCC will sue them for however many times the spammers sent those messages. The government will get money from the suing to pay for this bill. Then if the lawyers will help in the suing and bankers may come and foreclose the spamming buisness. Same thing for a single person except repo people will come and take alot more. The amounts sued will be base on the buisnesses yearly income and can range from 5% to 20% or even greater depending on the income.  People should vote for this bill because it will protect their computers from annoying spams and spams that contain viruses. It will also desrease spamming or even stop it fully. Also they and also the government will get more money off this bill from the suing. That is why you should vote for our bill Link to Bill: http://mockcongress2011.wikispaces.com/HB9
