Nick Ferrnando West Virginia Republican issue: coal, and coal mining accidents

I chose John (Jay) D.Rockefeller IV because he has similar views as me about coal and he also is a republican so we share most of the same views on job loss, energy, gay marriage, and government the most. We both believe that big government is bad and has too much money to spend which where they spend it on stuff that isn’t helping are economic crisis.

3 issues that interest me
 * One issue is Air pollution because of how dangerous and how many problems it causes for America and how it dangers us and animals
 * another issue is oil and coal because of how valuable they are to us and how we go through war and spending to try to get these very important things
 * My third issue is government spending because of how it affects America by making us going into a huge economic crisis. I would like to see how we recover

Air pollution: my view on air pollution is deadly. Deadly because of all the lives it has killed. From pollution in factories all the way to fumes let off by a car, it causes many problems. Lung cancer is one of the ways it has affected the humans. It causes this by a human taking in too much polluted air. Even though most of our common day things that help us are very deadly and can also become a money problem. If we cannot use these we Americans try to invent air powered or other things that do not pollute the air. These new strategies cost a lot of money and can create an economy crisis.

Pollution is a deadly gas created by these objects. It can cause death to life on earth. But without coal and oil things like cars, factories, and the common day stove couldn’t operate. Coal and oil is also an issue because of how we can get them. There are coal mines all over the U.S (like in my state, West Virginia). Oil is also all over in the U.S but there isn’t enough to keep operate. So that when it becomes an issue, getting from other sources around the world. We have many sources but right now in the world, one of our man oil sources is in a civil war. This is a huge issue in the U.S and I hope that we can start going back to collect oil peacefully without being in danger.

I believe that government spending is very bad and could actually make us go into an even bigger economic crisis. I think that the government should not have the right to spend most of all of our tax money on things that aren’t even working. The government spends most to all of the money on teachers, firefighters, and police officers. This is important but I believe the government should also save some of the money to get us out of debt. I also believe that the government has been too much power and that is a cause of this high spending. I think we cut down in size of our government and enforce jobs like manufacturing, fishing, and mining. I also believe we should put more of our money into that too.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">My bill is to improve many things but mostly the economy. The Department of Agriculture to go into cities. We will hire construction workers and we will rent bulldozers from the cities. We will then go to open fields and abandoned houses and buildings and take them down. Then we will hire people to farm and harvest crops. This will help out the high food prices, unemployment, and debt. I think people should support it because it’s really not spending so much money and is really helping us in numbers of ways.
