 * Important issues:**

> **Enviornment and energy:** Virginia's beaches, including the chesapeake bay, are considered the 5th most dilapidated shores in America. Yet congress is still debating over putting in more effort to clean up the Virginian shore lines. I think that this is an important issue because more animals, such as fish, could bring in more jobs as fishermen and women. > **//Education://** In order to shape a brighter futer, we need to build up our youth's imagination. We should invest it further testing to truly see American children's knoledge. > **Immagration:** I belive we should welcome __LEGAL__ immigrants to America. We are the strongest country, and we may need more ideas to keep it that way. Illegal immigration is another topic. We don't need our money going into people who can make it here free. As long as we do our best to keep them away and drive in legal citizens- to - be, then I find this issue may resolve in time.

Our Bill: SB9 We all know that there are many issues in America today. But one issue that most of the world struggles with is conservation of energy and helping the enviornment. 77 percent of Americans say they would go green if someone can find a really great idea on how to apply it. This is why we introduced our bill. It states that it is a requirement to have wind turbines by each freash or saltwater body of water with an average of 15 mph winds. When there is no wind, we can swich back to coal and oil until there is wind again. The whole point is to REDUCE the amount of energy used. There are funds, such as the Maubury vs. watt fund that can loan us money for the turbines. Only 1 turbine can power 1,000 homes! They pay for themselves after 1 yr. Together we can reduce and find a better America.
