**__Important issues to myself__** **Alcohol Abuse** - My views on this topic are not very negative. You could lose your life to this chemical that can be so addicting. It is very severe and can cause fatal or deadly harm to your body. This is a problem that does need to be addressed and solved. Alcohol Abuse could be used to relieve stress from the body but also cause harm. This is a serious matter and could be a cause to the end of your life. Many people have a problem with being an alcoholic, but it can be cured. **Civil Rights** - My views on this are positive because everyone should have their own rights to an extent. Some people may not get a certain job or do get a certain job because of their gender, religion, or race. Having your own civil rights can help out with everyone and their own right to their individual self. Everyone should be treated fairly no matter what your race, gender, or religion. If you are a legal American citizen, then you have civil rights to yourself. There should be some rules because there can't just be people running around doing whatever they please. **Immigration** - My views on immigration are not positive. This is when people from another country come into ours and live here for free, do not pay taxes because the country doesn’t know that they are here living for free. This is an issue and it needs to be addressed more seriously. This country has paying citizens, but then there are immigrants that just come into America and having just about everything frees. These people should not be able to get away with not paying taxes like everyone else. They are taking the "free" way while everyone else has to pay for everything they do. This is cheating everyone else out of not paying their taxes. http://mockcongress2011.wikispaces.com/SB21 Our bill is just ensuring everyone that they are safe and should vote for this bill for their own personal safety. You should vote for our bill because it will help everyone in the long run and will show people the rate of deaths and injuries caused by misuse of a firearm every year.
