__Name__: Rachel Blakkolb __State__: Florida __Political Party__: Representative __Representative I most agree with__: Steve Crisafulli.[]

I agree with Steve on a lot of his issues. Like education, responsible spending, taxes, and fuel prices/energy.

__Interesting facts about Florida:__ - Florida was the 27th state in the United States and became a state in 1845. - It is the 4th most populated state. - It's nickname is the "Sunshine Sate." - There is 67 counties in Florida. - The beaches are a total of 663 miles long.

__Issues:__ - Education and Gender. - Illegal Immigration. - Gun Control.

__First Issue- Education and Gender:__ I think that every child should get the same education. It shouldn't matter where or how they grew up and lived for a good education. Every child should get a good education and be successful when they grow up. I would like for every student to grow up and get into college and get a well designed career for themselves. There is many high school students that tend to drop-out either because of hard times in the family, school is too hard for them, it is boring so they don't come to class, or for any other reasons. So I think that we should decrease the rate of high school drop-outs by helping the students that need more help and liven things up in the classroom while teaching.

__Second Issue- Immigration:__ I think that the U.S needs to take more control over Illegal Immigration. Right now the U.S is cutting people's jobs because the government needs the money, so we can't afford to help these illegal immigrants. I see that the immigrants want a better future for them and their families, but I honestly don't think it is fair to the citizen's of America since the immigrants are taking away our jobs and money that we need. The citizens of the U.S actually have to pay taxes and everything when the illegal immigrants do not. I really think that American officers need to help prevent illegal immigrants from crossing to America.

__Third Issue- Gun Control:__ I think that the people in America should be more cautious of gun's. There are too many deaths by gun's that we can't control it. So there should be more authority to who can have a gun and not. I know people use gun's for protection but other people do not which doesn't help the situation at all. If we can control the number of people who have gun's then I think there will be many lives saved from gun shootings.

Link to my Bill: http://mockcongress2011.wikispaces.com/HB6

My Bill is about gun's having a lock and key on them after January 1, 2012. Companies that already make gun's can start making gun's with a lock and key on them so it will be more safer. The companies that are making the new gun's with the lock and key will have a tax break. People should vote for our Bill because it will make people who have or own gun's safer.
