Anna Dirda Indiana Political Party-Moderate Democrate Senator I agree with the most-Dan Burton [] Why-He has similar views on education,Enviroment and Illegal Immigration. Dan burton's veiw on Education is he supports home schooling beacuse he likes the idea that parents have the power to teach there kids. Also he belives that college should be affordable for all and no student should be not accepted due to finances. His veiw on Enviroment is to go green.

__Issues__: Education- I belive that the decisons for education should be made from local teachers, administrators and parents. Also the interests of the students should come first. In the fourth grade, 77% of children in urban high-poverty schools are reading “below basic” on the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). This is an issue I would like to fix. Environment-I belive that our enviroment is a very big issue. I think we should use more green options like wind farms and hybrid cars. On the average, the 140 million cars in America are estimated to travel almost 4 billion miles in a day, and according to the [|Department of Transportation], they use over 200 million gallons of gasoline doing it. This is a main reason for using allternitive options other then gasoline.

Illegal Immigration- I belive that we should keep border control strict. But the reason the immigrants are coming over is beacause they want a better life. So, we should try to help all people who want to come over and make it more affordable for them.There are approximately 7.7 million illegal aliens employed in U.S. jobs in 2008."I think this is a big problem because its also taking away from American Jobs.

People should support this bill beacuse it will save families money and make students more nice towards each other.
