• Election Reform
    In the United States, a system called the Electoral College periodically allows a candidate who receives fewer popular votes to win an election. In fact, there have been several presidential candidates who won the popular vote, but lost the election because they received fewer electoral votes. The system needs to change!

  • Making every vote count
    In states that are far left or right all the votes cast will go to elect the president of the majority party regardless of the votes of the minority. The Electoral College should be replaced by a popular vote election or at least by a percentage vote whereas the delegates of the state are awarded according to the percentage of votes casts for each candidate.

  • 28th Amendment
    No one has been able to explain to me why young men and women serve in the U.S. Military for 20 years, risking their lives protecting freedom, and only get 50% of their pay on retirement, while Politicians hold their political positions in the safe confines of the capital, protected by these same men and women,and receive full-pay retirement after serving one term. This is NOT social equity; it is the fox running the hen house and it has to be be stopped.

  • For a Constitutional amendment to be placed on the Florida ballot in 2014 requiring a "mandatory"...
    Recently, the governor of the state of Florida signed into law, a program to address the drug problem in Florida, by requiring Floridians, on public assistance, to submit to mandatory drug testing, to remain eligible for benefits. This Constitutional amendment would require all state of Florida public officials, who hold, or are seeking/or to be appointed to a state or public office or cabinet position, to submit to the same mandatory random drug testing program in order to remain eligible for access to state benefits as well, includiing their employment.

  • MAKE ALL ELECTIONS PUBLICLY FINANCED
    Our politicians are currently sold to the highest bidder and lobbiest are the ones who create the laws to benefit their paymasters, it is legal bribery and extortion. We, as a country need to overturn the Citizens United ruling and make all elections publicly funded with equal dollars given to each candidate who wishes to run in a specific catagory. It is not a real democracy when the wealthy corporations and individuals are the ones who decide who will be able to run and who will win by use of unlimited campaign dollars.

  • Stop the super majority/filibuster in Congress
    The US Congress has abused and misused the super majority vote by using filibustering and obstructing important bills. This "super majority" is being abused and needs to be abolished. A real majority vote must be restored to Congress to move our country forward.

  • Re-test drivers over age 75
    In November, 2009, my mother was killed as she crossed the street. The man who killed her was 82 years old and he was not arrested and his license was not revoked. This tragedy might have been avoided if this man had been tested to see if he was still able to drive and had full hearing, sight and the ability to turn his head to see, but since no law existed that would require this, no such test was performed.
