Visit Rick Bergs page at: [] The Congress man that I most agree with is Rick Berg. I agree with him for some of the following reasons: · His problem solving skills, · His willing ness to but more power to the people, · His concern for the common person. 1:An attempt to drop the word North from the state name was defeated by the 1947 Legislative Assembly. Again in 1989 the Legislature rejected two resolutions intended to rename the state Dakota. 2:Statehood: November 2, 1889. 3:Population: 642,200. 4:Of the 50 states North Dakota is 17th in size, with 70,665 square miles. North Dakota is 212 miles long north to south and 360 miles wide east to west. 5:The Lewis and Clark expedition encountered their first grizzly (brown) bears in North Dakota. 1:Tort reform & competition instead of nationalized healthcare.

(Aug 2010) 3:Voted YES on expanding the Children's Health Insurance Program. 4:More federal funding for rural health services. 5:Reform brings $650 million to the state health care industry. What Issues are important to me? This issue is important to me because a lot of Americans get hurt every week, and if that person doesn't have a health care plan they will have to worry about how they will pay. With a good health care plan that is affordable to everyone there will be one less thing for people worry about. They will also have the piece of mind that they know that them selves and their children are safe. Job loss it a big problem in not only in North Dakota but around the U.S.A. A lot of jobs were lost because of the economy getting a big hit by the Recession in 2009. A lot of people lost their jobs and are desperate to find jobs. I feel that if the economy improves in the next 2-3 years more and more people with be finding jobs and making more money to support their families. I feel in North Dakota schools are good but they can be improved for not only the students but for the teachers as well. First like John Hoeven,(governor), I fell that teachers salaries should be increased my 3,500. Also Challenge Grant matching funds for university research, to improve learning opportunities for students.
