__Political Party:__ Five interesting facts about Alabama: 1. It was the workers of Alabama that made the first rocket ship to go to the moon 2. To help farmers to grow crops besides cotton, the town of Enterprise housed the Boll Weevil Monument so as to show the role of such terrible bug 3. The world's rocket capital is Huntsville, Alabama 4. The name of the state,” Alabama," in Creek Indian Language, means "tribal town." 5. Alabama was the 4th state to have leave from the Union last January 11, 1861.  Five facts about the issues I am investigating cyber bullying:  1. Girls typically pick on other girls threw face book, texts and even email.  2. Almost all of cyber bullying starts in middle school  3. Students or bullys can hide behind a computer or a phone to make them feel better  4. Mostly starts between 7th and 8th graders  5. In 2010 more then half the states pasted laws on cyber bullying.  My opinion on the issues:  1. My first issue would be bullying. I am very serious to this issue. I believe that it should be delt with more inside middle school then it already is with. What I mean is that I don’t think we should just all be packed into a small room, watch a movie, have a little talk and get on with our lives. Bullying is a serious issue because it can happen to everyone and students should know how it really feels to be bullied and to be on the outside. 2. The second issue I would like to talk about is littering. Our earth is very presions and we only have one so we should take care of it. I think we should have a stricter law and a little moer of a fine because people need to be scared so they won’t do it anymore and we already have the ozone decenagrating. 3. The third and last issue I am working on is education. I believe that education should come first instead about how much is in our bank and how much we are paying for taxes. We are the people of tomorrow and we deserve the best education we can get. It should matter if we live in an inner city or if we live in some place like aurora. We should all get the same book and necessary utensils to learn.

Reasons to vote for our bill: I believe that you should vote for our bill because number one we need the students to know that bullying is not funny and not okay. Second if we get the parents involved then maybe the kids will stop bullying because if its not okay at home then the kids will know its not okay at school. Another thing would be that if the bullying stopped then the kid will have a healthier environment to learn in so they will get better grades. If they get better grades then we maybe be able to surpass other counties in learning. Lastly if we teach kids how to behave now then they will behave well as adults too so America might have a lower crime rate. Resources: bullyfree.com, 2011 by A .Beane
