 * **Florida issue is off shore drilling. by Evan Contes**


 * Senators- __Bill Nelson__ and __Marco Rubio__**
 * As i learned about the senators that represent florida i for the most part agreed with Bill Nelson. Bill had fought for the schools and for a better education for the kids of Florida and has fought and won the off shore drilling debates for the states saving many resturaunts and hotels from a lack of tourist. But Marco Rubio has also fought for the school systems of Florida and i agreed with his visions but not as much as i agreed with Bill Nelson.**

__**Facts About Florida**__
 * **State flower is the Orange Blossom**
 * **Population is 17,019068 people**
 * **State bird is the Mockingbird**
 * **Capitol of Florida is Tallahasse**
 * **Know as the Sunshine State or Peninsula State**

__**Facts about my off shore drilling issue**__
 * **Tourism makes around 57 billion dollars every year for the state.**
 * **If a oil leak comes from off shore drilling the tourist industry will collapse majorly.**
 * **Between the year 2000 and 2001 Florida's state whole income was 472 billion and 491 billion dollars.**
 * **Florida has a 40% international trade but the rest is around the world.**
 * **Floridas state budget is usally around 50 to 65 billion dollars a year.**

__**Nucl**e**ar Energy Plants.**__
 * At first i never thought twice about nuclear power due to that i had no idea what it was. But then when i dug deeper i found that not only is it one of the most deadly things ever but it has a posibility of leaking. Just like it did at 3 Mile Island Pennslyvania which was a 3 mile long island that had a huge nuclear plant that leaked and killing most of the enviroment and killing off any life forms in the water and enviroment around it, even none were killed it is still to risky for me to even ever consider to put close to a town or let alone a city. I belive science should just help find a way for americans to focus on renewable, non harmful resources.**


 * __Mangrove Deforestation__**
 * In many tropical areas i have always seen Mangroves in person or picture, but never knew what they did and recently sciencetist have discovered that Mangroves collect large amounts of carbon though the water just like a filter cleans a fish tank. Mangroves purify the water from the carbon so it is a livable enviroment for many species. But many companies have been cutting down these Mangroves to put up there buildings which is disturbing the enviroment by having much more carbon floating in the water. Many tropical areas have either outlawed it or are trying to pass it to keep the land and water preserved and i belive if people are willing to** ruin something so important to the enviroment that **the government should outlaw it right away due to that theser people have no conscience.**

 * __Bounty Hunters__**
 * I have chosen this one due that it is a vital government system. Bounty Hunters are men and women that hunt down criminals that the government cant touch and bring them in for reward money. In one year Bounty Hunters all across America brought in tens of thousands of arrests for the government. I belive this is very important because these men and women are like cops with no restrictains, some do not like the idea but as i see it people should not really care about negative feelings towards it unless the did something that might intrest bounty hunters. But these Bounty Hunters put their lives on the line for fellow americans and should** __have a lot of reconition for it__


 * __Our Bill__- The bill we proposed is gun control and our bill tried to limit possession of firearms to citizens with a criminal background. The reason our bill should pass is becasue each store only has to pay 200 dollars for 300 background checks and this will easily be paid back if they sell 1 to 2 firearms, our bill will also try to clean many citys and streets of the crime rate they currently possess. So overall our bill should pass due to that it is cheap and it will stop recurring crimes. The way my theme of sacrifice fits in here is that people will sometimes have to sacrifice their right to bear arms to pass this bill. Our bill will not have to raise taxes for people or anything else but the retailer does have to pay the small fee. This is why our bill should pass its cheap, effective and has a little amounts of sacrifice**
