1. Who are your Senators and your Congressman?
The Tennessee Senators are Bob Corker and Lamar Alexander. My Congressman is Jim Cooper.
2. Research the areas they champion and find one you support. What is it and why do you also support it?
Bob Corker is like me in the fact that he believes the government spends too much money. He thinks the government funds should be capped and he has been trying really hard for the rest of Congress to join him in his goal to cap spending at a sustainable level. I really like the fact that Jim Cooper is a big supporter in cleaning up the environment. He believes in using solar power and cutting back on things that contribute to pollution. He is a cosponsor of the Clean Water Protection Act which is very important because it cuts back on water pollution. He believes in protecting endangered animals just like me. He also believes in cracking down on prescription drug abuse laws because it's a serious problem in Tennessee and I agree with that.
3. Find an issue one of your Senators or Congressman champions that you disagree with. Why do you disagree?
I have searched and searched and cannot find anything that I disagree with in regards to Bob Corker. He's an all around good Senator and I think he's doing an awesome job representing Tennessee. I really like Jim Cooper, so it's hard for me to admit that I don't agree with his choice to vote for the Affordable Health Care Act. I don't like the concept of universal health care.

I agree with several of Mr. Corkers views especially with his views on economic issues but on his views on social issues, especially concerning abortion, I disagree with his stance on that issue.
ReplyDeleteI agree with corker when he says that is pro llife and that he trying to get rid of even partial abortion. Teenagers need to be firmly instructed and show examples of what their life could be like with a child and in case of a pregnancy, the father and the mother could have a chance to make important decisions finacially and get their lives on track together. Sometimes that is the reason why those relationships do not last, because they were not ready to grow up. I do not agree with abortion, because having a child of my own, holding her and kissing her forehead every night , makes me a very proud father. How could anyone even have a demonic thought as killing a child that God blessed us with. I believe abortion is a complete work of satan.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the fact that the government is spending too much money. Most of it is pointless and they could be spending it on more important things like education for instance. I also agree with the prescription drug abuse laws. There should be stricter laws. It seems like this abuse occurs a lot in Tennessee. I do not necessary disagree with anything in your blog but I'm not necessary for environmental issues. I do care about the environment but I feel like some of the hardcore environmentalists take it to the extreme. Especially when it comes to drilling oil on our lands.
