 * //__The Environment__//- I think that species and their natural habitats in nature should be preserved and protected from human destruction, such as for building factories and homes. I also strongly believe in protecting human lives by protecting the environment, such as protecting water from being polluted and reducing our carbon foot pront in order to have clean, less polluted air.
 * //__Education__//- I believe that all children and adults should be able to receive an education or the extra help they need, no matter their financial situation.
 * //__The Economy__//- I believe in a well balanced economy, where money is coming in and going out. I don't like to see poverty in my own country or other countries around the globe. I think that by restoring our economy, there may be an increase in jobs and a decrease in poverty. I also think that our wellfare system could use another look at. Many people who live off of wellfare depend on wellfare only instead of using their fully capable bodies, in some cases, to find a job. I want to be able to solve that problem,so money won't be coming out of the government that doesn't need to be coming out.

 * __My Bill:__ __http://mockcongress2011.wikispaces.com/HB80__**
 * __Purpose__**- Our purpose is to decrease the amount of energy (nonrenewable) used by factories today. This energy is released into the environment as CO2, hurting nearby communities, by causing disease, and the atmosphere everywhere else. We want to protect our Earth and the people of the Earth from dangerous gases and chemicals. This bill is one small step in the right direction.
 * __How It Works__**: The "Increase Use " Bill is designed as an insentive bill. Our bill proposes that companies with factories and/or powerplants that are currently using all (nonrenewable) energy to power their factories and/or powerplants are offered the opportunity to use a renewable energy source. The federal government would pay for half of the expenses for the renewable energy source and the company would pay the other half of the expenses for the renewable energy source.
 * __Why Should People Vote for HB80__**: To increase the use of renewable energy sources in the United States. The increase in use of renewable energy will create a safe atmosphere and environment for the generations to come.
