• No Lifetime Secret Service
    There have been comments that the White House or Congress has suggested and some endorsement for a lifetime of secret service body guard for ex Presidents and their spouses. JUST SAY NO. The current 10 years post service is enough. Ex Presidents and their spouses (of our modern times) are multi millionaires and do not need permanent Taxpayer funding.

  • Help the citizens of PR to reduce the homicide rates ignored by our own government.
    Puerto Rico reported a record-breaking 1,136 murders in 2011, in a territory that is home to less than four million people. The island boasts more than double the number of police officers per resident, compared to the 50 U.S. states, and it still suffers a homicide rate of 26.2 per 100,000 people.

  • Lines Interfere with National Elections Act
    The Poll Watcher Brigade, Inc., a non-partisan organization domiciled in Tennessee supports the passage of the Line Act (or the Lines Interfere with National Elections Act). Senator Barbara Boxer introduced the bill. The election reform legislation is designed to guarantee that all American voters will have an equal chance to cast a ballot in federal elections without facing hours-long delays at their polling places. Voters in Florida, Virginia, Ohio and other states waited in line for up to seven hours to cast a ballot. The bill would require the Attorney General, in consultation with the U.S. Election Assistance Commission to issue new national standards by January 1, 2014 to prevent a waiting time of more than one hour at any polling place. The bill would also require states where voters endured long lines to implement plans to fix the problems before the next federal election.

  • Pension Plans First
    I have met people who have lost their pensions due to bankruptcy. They no longer have that pension to count on when they retire. When a company goes into bankruptcy, the company should have to pay their pension obligations off first. Workers should not suffer during a bankruptcy when executives get big bonus' and full pay.
