Issues important to me: My position on this issue is that the United States has to find other ways other than fossil feuls for energy, especially foreign oil and gas. For New Jersey, we should focus on Nuclear or Wind energy for our energy needs. For the United States overall, we need to start putting clean energy producing products where they will be most efficient. For example: we should put more wind farms next to oceans or the Great Lakes and put solar panels in the Mid-West. That is my position on Energy Conservation.

My position on this issue is that we should stop using the ocean as a "dumpster" and find more efficient ways to get rid of our wastes. We also should sort through landfills for non-decomposing materials such as plastic and then recycle the materials. The Earth's oceans have helped our scientists figure many different things out and have helped us survive. As you can see, the ocean is very important to us and we need to take better care of it and it's inhabitants.
 * Marine Pollution **

My position on this issue is that people who come to the united states illegally are wrong and should be punished. I am perfectly fine with people immigrating to the United States and I am happy that people do that. But also, if we americans do not want to do the dirty work or the "bad" jobs, even if we are in debt or don't even have a job. And if mexicans and europeans come and start doing those jobs and we complain, I believe we are then wrong because if we don't want to do those jobs in the first place, they have the right to be hired for those jobs. Also, we should try to be more friendly to Mexico and have them try to help us in keeping people from illegally crossing the border. That is my position on U.S. Border Security.
 * U.S. Border Security **

My bill is important because it stops the illegal trading of guns and use of guns illegaly. It also tracks ex-convicts and ex-soldiers if they use a gun and or use it. You should vote for my bill because it will stop illegal drug trading and gang fights and will track ex-convicts and ex-soldiers.
