Mike Malone California Political Party: Moderate Liberal

The senator that I mostly agree with is Joe Baca, of the 43rd district of California. There are lots of reasons i agree with Joe Baca, but one of the biggest reasons is because he supports public safety. Joe is always trying to strengthen public safety. He is trying more and more to support public safety officers as well as the public people. Congressman Baca has introduced and supported legislation numerous times on behalf of our public safety officers. []

__5 Important issues in California__ Immagration ~ Illegal immagration is costing the state tons of money every year ~ Illegal Immigrants take away job opportunities for citizens ~ California is taking part in the energy crisis <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">~ California Clean Air Act <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This act will be trying to stop air pollution. It will be costing a lot of money for car companies because they'll have to build new types of environmentally friendly cars but it will be going to strongly increase the air quality. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">~ Death penalty with only one drug lethal <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This will help to stop suffering with a quick death

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">__3 issues most important to me__ <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">~ One important issue is gun control. We need to make it a little harder for peolpe to buy and use guns. It is relativly easy for a criminal to buy a gun and go commit a crime. I think that the person buying a gun should have a background check to see if they have a criminal background. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">~Another important issue is immagration. I believe that we need to have more restrictions on immagration because of all the illegal immagrants that are coming to the US. They are taking hard labor jobs for very low pay that is getting many legal Americans fired. We need to stop illegal immagration. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">~ The 3rd important issue is Global Warming. This is not just an issue in California but an issue for the entire world. With the 37 million people in California there are many cars, trucks, and big bussinesses. One cause of global warming is the burning of fossil fuels. If the people used new envirnmentally safe things like hybrid cars this could help lessen the problem greatly.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">__Link to Bill Page and about my Bill__ <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The link to my bill page is <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #800080; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; vertical-align: auto;">__http://mockcongress2011.wikispaces.com/HB21__ <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">. This bill proposes that to purchase a firearm from any dealer you are required to have a background check. People should support this bill because it will make cities all over the United States safer. It will reduce the rate of crime because of the lesser chance to have a weapon. It will help stop robberies, school shootings, and muggings. People should vote for this bill if they want not only a safer community, but a safer US.
