Lets petition the major news networks to put on-screen lie-dection metrics similiar to how CNN provided live-feedback in the 2008, John McCain and Barack Obama debate in September of 2008: http://blogs.wsj.com/numbersguy/scoring-the-debate-live-on-cnn-420/

  • Congressional Reform
    Congressional Reform Act of 2012 1. No Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman/woman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they're out of office. 2. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security. All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose. 3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do. 4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%. 5. Congress loses their current health care system and Participates in the same health care system as the American people. 6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people. 7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void effective 12/1/12. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen/women. Congress made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and back to work.

  • Arlington, TX: Support trap-neuter-return
    During the month of May, Arlington Animal Services euthanized almost 500 cats. We don't know how many of them were feral, because the records don't tell us that, but what we do know is that any feral cat that comes to AAS is euthanized almost immediately, since they are not adoptable. Using a low end estimate for what it costs a municipality to trap and kill an animal, Arlington likely spent $30,000 in May alone to kill cats. There are approximately 60,000 feral/stray cats in Arlington. Trap-and-kill methods cannot possibly keep up with the birth rate in that large a cat population. TNR is the only humane and fiscally responsible way to deal with this problem.
