**State:** California **Political Party:** Republican
 * Name:** Robert Morley

I mostly agree with the congressman **John Campbell**. I mostly agree with this congressman because he has taken an active part in the country's top economic issues including mortgage lending, corporate governance, banking reform, and insurance regulation. I also agree with him because he mostly looks into Financial Services. I think this is one of the biggest issues in America. He also looks into a lot of other things very deeply like mortgage lending.

**Interesting facts about California:**

1. 30 years after the gold rush they found 1.26 billion dollars of gold. 2. Twenty-one California cities have populations over 150,000 people. 3. The highest temperature in them world was 138 degrees Fahrenheit was in Death Valley 4. Death Valley in California has the lowest altitude in the world, 282 feet below sea level 5. California is the third biggest state in the United States with 163,707 square miles **Important Issues:**

**1. Illegal Immigrants** My Position: I think illegal immigration is a bad thing because they are coming into our country and hurting the economy, and raising the unemployment rate which means that they are taking the jobs from others because they don't expect as much money as the first person. With this all happening, men and women across America will start losing their jobs and not be able to pay for their home, items or evern their family. Immigrants will end up by taking down America piece by piece.

**2. Unemployment** My Position: I think that if someone is jobless and homeless that the country pays a small portion of taxes to whomever is in this position. Also I think that the United States should create more jobs so that nobody is in this predicament. To create the new jobs we can come up with a clinic to help them get educated so they can find a job.

**3. Gun Control** My Position: I think that if someone is in custody of a gun they should be in the police business or another business that allows you to have a gun handy. If only police and others who need to handle a gun handle one then the country would be a lot safer. Also if we can check peoples background checks in the shop than we can find out who is looking into purchasing a gun. If they have been charged with any type of cruelty or abuse or even murder, they will not be able to purchase a firearm.

**My Bill:** http://mockcongress2011.wikispaces.com/HB84

Purpose: The purpose our bill (Robert Morley, Matt Conti) is to ensure that the number of deaths and injuries caused be firearms decreases. We are going to do this by purchasing computers to check peoples background checks in the gun shop. This is so we can see if they have and felonies or have been charged with things like animal cruelty or child abuse. These things usually lead to homicides or suicide with a firearm. We will also have breathalysers in the gun stores and on the patrol officers. The patrol officers will be trained to spot out guns on the streets. There will be no guns held on the streets unless your job calls for one like plice officers and military. The first offence will be 500$ and the second will double and two weeks in prison and so on.
