Sarah Krieger, Oregon Political Party: Moderate

I am most like Saxby Chambliss because I agree with him about Gas Prices. We need to decrease our independence to foreign sources of energy in order to have our economy independent. Chambliss has voted to increase drilling for oil, mining coal, and develop alternative energy sources such as wind and hydroelectric. I also agree with Chambliss about the Economy. In order to help our struggling economy, we need to promote the small business community, because that is where the majority of American jobs come from.

//1. The first Steamship to sail across the Atlantic Ocean sailed from Georgia// //2. In Gainesville, the Fried Chicken Capitol of the World, it is illegal to eat fried chicken with a fork// //3. Georgia is the nation's number one producer of the three Ps-Peanuts, pecans, and peaches// //4. Georgia has actually had three governors- simultaneously- twice!// //5. Georgia was the first state to allow 18-year-olds to vote// //1. Immigration lead to the event- "A Day Without an Immigrant"// //2. Immigrants started out British, but are now mostly Irish, Asian, Hispanic, and French// //3. We are know as an "Immigrant Nation" because our country is mostly made up of immigrants// //4. The Border Patrol's main focus is to end immigration// //5. The Department of Labor is in charge of enforcing laws that help job-seekers, wage earners, and people who have retired// __Immigration__: //Immigration needs to be stopped because our country is beginning to be mostly made up of immigrants. Illegal Immigration has made a big impact on our country and is a serious crime. Having this many people in America, our resources will soon not have enough for all of the people. Also, many immigrants work for lower wages, which puts American-born citizens out of work. This causes conflict between races and leads to racism and discrimination.// __Adoption__: //Adoption needs to become more strict because of child abuse. If a child is to be adopted, there should be a background check of both parents to ensure that child abuse will cease to happen. Also, in states such as Florida, there are laws that forbid gay adoption. This law should be lifted because many are against the law and are protesting it. There should also be more adoption centers that will find children good homes so that they will not have to spend their life living in the streets all alone.// __Alcohol Abuse__: //Alcohol Abuse needs to really be looked into and stopped. Alcohol Abuse leads to over seventy-five thousand deaths each year and over half of those are driving related. Even famous people die from Alcohol Abuse. Princess Diana was killed in a car crash on August 31, 1997, because the driver was drunk and speeding. People who have these problems should visit help facilities such as Alcoholics Anonymous, the largest organization to stop Alcohol Abuse. There needs to be better patrol on the roads to catch drunk drivers, and more facilities to help them.// The bill I am sponsoring is Project N.A.P.A. This bill proposes that if a woman coming to the United States to give birth or conceive a child, the child will not recieve citizenship unless the mother has been a citizen here for over a year. This issue is a problem because the Immigrant children are taking American citizen job opportunities. //1.ABC-Clio. "Betty Ford Clinic." ABC-Clio. N.p., n.d. Web. 20 Mar. 2011. [].//
