Prisons will be less geared towards punishing the inmates, as helping them become productive members of society. This would include classes/seminars that would teach the inmates a skill that would be valuable in the work force. This would decrease the amount of people who would return to crime by giving them a new life after prison.

HR: Azim Farishta                  Tax Cuts Decrease Crime

# data[].attributes.body
A certain amount of tax incentives/cuts should be given to people who practice civil obedience for a certain amount of time in terms of staying out of trouble with the law. This way, more people will make an effort to drive safe and stay out of trouble because they would want the reward in return. From this bill, jail expenses will hopefully decrease and save more money in the economy. Therefore, the money that is lost from the tax cuts will be compensated.

Alaska, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington have legalized marijuana in small doses. Their economies have improved the states' largest industries, including the oil-and-gas sector. In 2015, the legalization of marijuana allowed an economic contribution of $2.39 billion and the creation of 18, 005 full-time jobs. Essentially, legalizing marijuana could save the United States up to $14 billion a year and lower the unemployment rate.

People should be completely banned from the usage of a mobile device when on the road. Although there are laws already to try to prevent this we still see hundred of deaths due to a mobile device being used on the road. Plus with the raise of social media and other apps that make us so connect to our phones younger and even older generation don't have the self control to put there phones down and it only takes a moment between live or death.Finally in a case of an emergency call or text it's better to receive the news off the road where you won't put others in danger while driving.

Make internet a a privately owned but government regulated utility to prevent monopolies, and keep them from over-charging. Internet will be metered and priced based on usage similar to how electricity and water work. The privacy of data will not be compromised in any way because of this change. The only difference is that government will be able to regulate pricing.

The Internet should maintain equal prioritization of services as in the past, and all steps must be taken to bring down costs for the consumer. Cities and towns should work on establishing and providing municipal fiber broadband for residents, and the present oligopoly in the market between the major ISPs must be broken apart to increase competition and innovation within the market. All existing broadband infrastructure within the United States must also be nationalized and should be rented out for unbiased use by public and private corporations. Paid prioritization must be made illegal.

This bill proposes that all students their freshman or sophomore year are required to do a mock vote. They will submit online to an underage voting website, voting on their candidate in whatever type of local election is currently occurring.This will help students not only understand how elections and the voting process work while also developing their personal opinions, but will make sure they are prepared before they can go and vote in an actual election. This, in turn, will create a more educated voting pool. Hopefully, with this process implemented for about a decade we will have a more proficient political system.

Public Transportation
Joy Kim
To reduce traffic congestion in densely populated metropolitan areas, there should be an increase in the use of public transportation (i.e buses or electric trains). A portion of taxpayers' money should be used to fund new bus services and rail extensions. This solution will not only increase mobility; it will also aid in pollution reduction and economic benefits. Transportation development increases revenue and property values. Overall, through this proposal, rural, suburban, and urban areas will able to be a cohesive unit and thus thrive.

Federal Police Protection Act
Cxan Burton
Despite recent efforts to monitor and control the widespread actions of police misconduct, there is still a very low rate of conviction for officers who commit heinous crimes against the people they have sworn to protect. Often times, it is the precinct of the convicted officer that investigates the crime, leading to corruption. This bill proposes the (advancement) of the Federal Police Inspection Organization (or F.P.I.O). Should an officer be convicted under the suspicion of misconduct, F.P.I.O will pose as a outside, federal agency that will investigate the case, along with the precinct the officer is from.
