__** ﻿ ﻿ **__**Cassandra Harger, Ohio, Moderate ** Congress person most like me is John Boehner. I agree with John Boehner on //Energy Independence,// increasing the supply of American-made energy in an environmentally safe way, improving energy efficiency and encouraging investment in groundbreaking research in advance alternative and renewable energy technologies. I also agree with john on //Fighting for Ohio's Farmers// for the permanent repeal of the Death Tax, because this tax causes 50 percent of Ohio farms to be lost due to the Death Tax. I also agree with Boehner on the //Education Reform//, the areas I agree with are s trengthening Pell Grants, student aid, student access, and minority serving institutions, removing barriers for non-traditional students, and empowering consumers through “sunshine” and transparency in college costs.

We have no control over prices, and we could get into conflicts that are going on in the Middle-East. as a result prices are as high as they have ever been. Nearly 70 percent of our oil use is for transportation, and more than 65 percent of that amount is for personal vehicles .energy independence can mean changing how we power our cars and trucks from foreign oil to new American-made fuels and batteries.
 * __<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">2 __ || __<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">veterans __ || <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Position: I feel that since our veterans have done so much for us and sacrificed so much of their lives, we should pay our respects and help if they need help. Many of our nation�s veterans are left poor and out on the streets because they had a hard time adapting, or they have nowhere to go. We should at least help these men and women adapt to what they have missed while they were protecting our nation. the recent passing of new legislation on December 22, 2006, veterans are now able to to get legal representation to help them obtain the Veteran Benefits that they have earned by serving our country.
 * __<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">,3. __ || __<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Spending tax dollars wisely __ || <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Position: I feel the government has not spent very wisely and should not waste our tax dollars. It is our money. Why don't we have more say in what happens to it? An example would be what is going on at Aurora road. We paid our tax dollars when Geauga lake was still busy, to have the road widened to reduce traffic. Now that we have enough money, Geauga lake is closed. The construction is pointless now and just causes a lot of hassle. The project could have easily been dropped, and the money could have gone to another cause. the list of job killing taxes is endless, but here are some examples, there has been a massive $392.5 billion tax increase on middle-class, a 15 billion in new energy taxes passed in July that will raise gasoline prices on consumers, a 115 percent to 2,200 percent increase in tobacco taxes in the State Children’s Health Insurance, and a 5-cent per gallon increase in the federal gas tax to create a new highway infrastructure fund.

__<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">**Link to bill that you are sponsoring:** __ __<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">**http://mockcongress2011.wikispaces.com/HB23** __ <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">This bill is to stop to illegal immigration on the border of the United States of America and Mexico. This bill should be able to do that because it will put horse patrols all along the border with highly trained animals that sense, hear and smell other humans. These horses have proved to work in previous years. The decrease of illegal immigrants will force out of work Americans to get up and work for what they want, as a result improving the economy. I feel people should support this bill because it gives the problem of illegal immigration, and then a possible solution of horse patrol, which could possibly end up helping the economy. So many of Americans are being robbed every day, indirectly, by illegal immigration. They use public services that are paid for by tax payers, but they are illegal and do not pay taxes therefor getting most everything free. This unfairness, also, has been putting a huge toll on the American economy. No matter how rich you are you are being robbed and it is not fair to your business. You will continue to be robed unless we do something. Be heard and make a difference by supporting our bill.
