House and Senate are in charge of deciding what to do about social security and medicare that effect the American people, while they themselves continue to vote raises for themselves, have no term limits, legally take lobbyists money, have some of the richest pension plans in place and have their own special well funded health insurance. Why is this? Becoming a Senator or House Representative used to be about serving the people, not profitting from the people. We need to stop these practices and hold them to the same standard as they hold the average person that they are being "rewarded" to represent. The bonuses of receiving Lobbyists monies, insider trading, excessive traveling expenses, Washington DC apartment rents, etc., is enough. Term limits must be enacted immediately. Pension plans and health plans for representatives should not be "special" so that they are isolated from feeling the effects of their actions. Congress is out of control, lets take the action necessary to make profound changes for the future of our leadership.

Taking responsibility for the gun that you own. If you decide to buy a gun you must be responsible to society for all actions of that gun until sold, passed on, or retired from society by being destroyed. You put this gun into our society you must take responsibility for it's actions.

The laws that prevent student loan debt from being discharged in personal bankruptcy petitions must be struck down. Saddling a young person with a lifetime of unresolveable debt is anti-social, mean-spirited, and must be stopped.

Reducing gun violence by increasing the cost of ammunition to reduce the stock piling of ammunition for use in large magazines. Cheap bullets make taking life cheap.

Congress needs to be held accountable. Pay raises based on cost of living increases,term limits---no lifers, no lifetime benefits, immediate pay cut

Every American should have a picture ID that is accepted in lieu of a drivers license. This is common sense, folks. Id is required for nearly EVERYTHING we do in the U.S. so let's avoid any further hardship and discrimination against the poor, elderly, young, African-Americans, and Latinos. Let's make it a national 'benefit' for everyone and include a photo ID with ObamaCare registration.

Forming a State Bank modeled after the Bank of North Dakota. State operating banking would be handled by state run bank NOT a WallStreet bank. Bank charges for services stay IN OREGON.

Fully safeguard 2nd amendment rights while providing means to safeguard from misuse of arms.

On October 26, 2005, President Bush signed into law S. 397, the "Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act." This bill prohibited victims of the gun industry's negligent practices from filing lawsuits in America's courts. We seek the repeal of that law. This would allow the families to seek justice (not that anything can be done to replace a lost child) in the court system, as well as countless other families who have experienced gun violence to seek such justice. The Unites States has a staggering gun problem. In 2007, a total of 31,224 firearm-related deaths due to suicide and 12,632 deaths from gun related homicide. This needs to be addressed in a comprehensive program; however, the first step is to stop manufacturers from marketing guns to people who should not be able to obtain them (those who are either criminal or severely mentally ill).
