My name is senator Tvandiver,i am from the state of Texas. The congress person that i most agree with is Kay Hutchison. My political party is Republican. I agree with her because she supports cyber bullying and education for the state of Texas, which I also believe. []

5 facts about my state: 2nd largest state in the country 5th state in the country Demordatic leader Gov. Rick Perry (D) poulation slightly more than 2 million 5 facts about issues related to my state: Gun Free School Zone Act of 1995 states that people with guns cannot walk within 1,000 feet of any school About 42% of kids have been bullied online and almost one in four have had it happen more than once. One in 200 American women suffers from anorexia woman currently make up 57% of the enrolement in collages today more people in texas feel they can have guns without a license

My issues: 1. Cyber Bullyiing Cyber bullying-bullying can occur anywhere.cyber bullying is a new form of bulling that has just started,also known as electronically bullying.email and instant messaging is the most common but facebook and social networking sites have been increased as well.cyber bullying is most common with middle school students. cyber bullying can be direct or indirect, direct is occurs when perpetrators send offensive messages or post offensive comments themselves.indirect occurs when perpetrators hack into accounts of unsuspecting victims and send out damaging communications as if the person was himself or herself.we all know that technology increases which means younger children will become more tech savvy which leads to an increasing amount of cyber bullying. As of 2010, more than half of the states including Texas passed legislation specifically addressing electronic bullying. there is more attention devoted to legal and ethical responsibilities of the school personnel with rules they have to follow in case of an incident.

2. Eating disorders Eating disorder can happen to anyone, they are extreme range of weight with men and women.there are different types anorexia nervosa,bulimia nerosa and compulsive overeating. the tropical person who struggles wi�h eating disorders is teenagers and young adults.over the years society has become more aware of this disorder, there have been treatment centers around the nation. but there is still the struggle on how to help the people who have it.dancers ,average teens and super models all deal with these issues. The government has gotten more involve in this issue, developing Organizations and resources. From online chats, to autobiographies, self-help books and support group.but the rates of eating disorders continues to rise.

3. Education and gender:

Statistics show that girls are out numbering boys academically, not only were girls doing better but boys were outnumbering girls in drug abuse, automobile accidents and crimes.They are calling this the "boy crisis". It depends on what statistics you are using "nations's report card" states that there is an improvement is all students grades 2005-2007. College being so important today plays a big role. They are finding that girls have better opportunities to get into college than boys. Boys and Girls have different abilities, Girls have good verbal skills while boys have greater aptitude for thinking nonverbal. The government is continuing to focus on thsee statistics, More statistics must be gathered to help determine a patern to help reduce the amount of failures in both genders.

4. Gun control in schools

School gun control is becoming in issue in The Untied States, there are a huge amount of guns. being there is a large amount of fire arm weapons there is a greater likelihood of violent crime,suicide and accidental firearm-related death. The question is why aren't there stricter laws on gun control but the problem is the second amendment of the bill of rights, which states that you are allowed to have a gun for protection.Even though there are laws and rules set up they are not safe enough for the peoples safety. There has been protection added over the years but there needs ti be more added due to recent events.

Bill- making college education more affordable for the lower class. less time for transportation and more involved a important classes.I propose this bill because it is going to give the goverment and students a greater chance for education. People should vote for this because alot of our country is in poverty in order for these families to get out of poverty they need the education they deserve and this bill will give it to them.It works because the high school has everything it needs to have working college education. the teachers that teach a college will be teaching the college courses. http://mockcongress2011.wikispaces.com/HB66
