__Five facts about floridas issues__: Florida was ranked the fifth most dangerous state in 2009.

Orlando attracts more visitors than any other theme park. Cape canaveral is America's location for space shuttle luanch. Gatorade is named after the Florida gators.

__Issues:__
 * 1) Gun control
 * 2) Immigration
 * 3) Healthcare

__First Issue:__ I feel that certain ideas for gun control are unconstitutional in the fact that they would violate the second amendment granting the right to bear arms.I feel a way to improve the control system would to have those who want to own a gun go through a backround check and a safety seminar. this would ensure that those who purchase a gun have a legitimate reason for owning a gun such as hunting, trap shooting, or self defense. Any seller of guns would have the right to say no to someone if they seem suspicious or have malicious intent.

__Second Issue:__ I feel that most immigration is respectable and welcome. America is a melting pot of different cultures and ideas. people who immigrate legally are looking for better lifes or opprotunities they wouldn't have otherwise. The issue is in illegal immigration. Illegal immigration can cause fluxuations in the economy and job market, cause election fraud, and increase taxes due to education of illegal immigrants. If we were to improve apon and add to the systems and protocols of handling illegal immigration. an example would be upgrading border control or when someone is being employed, proof of citezenship is required.

__Third Issue:__ I feel that health care is benificial but not the top priority if a country can not provide it at the time. If a country was at a losing war or in compromising debt, the healthcare system would not be the top priority at the time. If they were in this situation, the coverage would be decreased but not eliminated to ensure savings and coverage for those in need.

__Ten Sources:__ __[|Gun Control][|Gun control 2][|Immigration][|Immigration 2][|Healthcare][|Healthcare 2][|Healthcare 3][|State facts][|State facts 2][|State facts 3]\__ __Bill:__ http://mockcongress2011.wikispaces.com/HB35 This bill is to prevent future gun violence from those who are mentally ill or criminals who have commited a violent crime by creating an organized database that will allow organized and thorough background searches. This bill should be supported because it will enforce the neglected laws of gun restrictions to mentally ill and felons to recieve firearms while still giving citizens their right to bear arms.
