**Name:** Hayley Cash **Political Party:** Moderate **State:** Michigan **Representatives:** Dave Camp and John Dingell [|Dave Camp] [|John Dingell] One of the views that Dave Camp and I agree on is adoption. He believes that every child deserves a safe, loving and permanent home, and that congress must continue to work to help children with that through the process of adoption. I also believe that each child deserves a safe, loving, and permanent home, because every child has a purpose, and they should be able to live their life with a permanent home to live in, parents to support them, and a loving and safe environment.
 * I am most like Dave Camp:**

Topics: Cyber-bulling, Eating Disorders, and Alcoholism

Topic #1: Cyber-bulling Cyber- Bulling is an on-going issue in the United States. This type of bullying is sometimes said that it is one of the worst types of bullying. It is done electronically, whether it's Facebook, texting, E-Mailing, or any other type of social network. This is a very common thing that happens to mostly teens and young adults in middle school. This is a very serious issue that needs to be addressed and taken with more concern. This can be potentially life-threatning to the victim if it gets bad enough. I believe that this is a very important issue that we need to take more notice on.

Topic #2: Eating Disorders This is a very important issue that needs to be addressed in a more serious matter. This is occuring a lot more as our society grows and grows. It is mainly occuring in teens and young adults that are females for the most part. It is a very unhealthy problem that is caused by distorting of the body image. If this is left un-noticed for too long, it can potentially kill the person. These are very unhealthy disorders that are very dangerous and life-threatning.

Topic #3: Alcoholism Alcoholism is a very serious and dangerous inherited disease. This disease can cause people to start drinking and not be able to stop or control the amount of intake in the body. This can cause the human to act very different, and sometimes angry and they will have sudden outbursts. When someone is intoxicated because they couldn't stop drinking, it can become very dangerous. It can harm them and others around them, which is extremley dangerous and it needs to be taken care of soon so that we can try to lower the rates of Alcoholism in the United States.

Bill Link: http://mockcongress2011.wikispaces.com/HB1

I am proposing this bill because I think that all women should be allowed to fight on the front-line if they choose. All men and women should be created equal when it comes to fighting in the military, and right now they are not. If a women trains for the military to fight in direct combat, then they should be able to.

People should vote for this bill because it is promoting equality between men and women.

My bill will work because it will allow women in the military to fight on the front line and participate in direct combat, just as men can. As of right now, women in war can only be truck drivers, gunners, medics, military police, helicopter pilots, and a few more occupations. These jobs are all very important, and we truly do need them. However, some women go into the military because they want to fight in direct combat. Right now, women are not allowed to fight on the front line. We want to change this. Any woman that is willing to go to war for America, should be equal with a man going to war. Therefore, the purpose of our bill is to give women in the military the opportunity to fight on the front line.
