  • Pass the Puppy Uniform Protection and Safety Act (PUPS Act)
    PUPS is important in order to make sure that all breeders of dogs have to be licensed with the USDA and comply with standards set forth by the Animal Welfare Act. Currently, the Animal Welfare Act and the USDA only inspect commercial breeders who sell their puppies to a wholesaler, for example a pet store. With the passage of PUPS, breeders who sell their dogs remotely, to the public through the Internet, newspaper and telephone will have to become licensed under the USDA and follow humane standards set forth by the Animal Welfare Act. Such standards include health care, proper sanitation, excessive and cage specifications to name a few. You can find more information about PUPS here: http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c113:H.R.847: Animal Welfare Act standards: http://www.aphis.usda.gov/animal_welfare/downloads/awr/awr.pdf

  • Concert Promoters and Ticketmaster: Lower Prices and Fees for Concerts
    My two sons and I bought tickets to go see Paul McCartney in concert in Washington D.C's National Park. For just 3 tickets we paid the equivalent of one ticket in fees: Convenience Fee plus some other fees. Prices are very high and it's not fair to families or anyone for that matter.

  • Keep the FCC free from Industry Investment Insiders
    We have witnessed the endemic poor performance of the regulators in government. Nominating Tom Wheeler, lobbyist and venture capitalist for two of the industries he will now be regulating is another example of the revolving door where industry insiders pose as regulators whose decisions are at the very least loaded with conflict of interest. Such a nominee cannot have the general public's welfare in primary focus.

  • Support Independent Doctors
    Most independent doctor practices are small businesses. In total, small businesses create about 65% of the nation's net new jobs. [1] In every industry, competition is an important check against higher prices, diminished quality, and loss of consumer choice. In the medical field, the presence of independent doctors is an important factor in our nation’s ability to sustain affordable and high quality care, and preserve patient choice. In this regard, the trends are not encouraging. According to a research firm, the number of independent doctors as a percentage of total doctors has declined from 57% in 2000, to a projected 36% in 2013. [2] More than 100,000 independent doctors have exited the practice or become hospital-employed. [3] This may be the steepest decline for small business, in any American industry. During the same period, there has been a surge in hospital-employed doctors. Today, very large hospitals have a much larger market share, and less competition, than they did 10 years ago. This dynamic – in which big hospitals have become bigger, and independent practices have declined -- has coincided with another unfortunate trend: During the past 10 years, health care costs per family of four, have more than doubled, and in 2012 exceeded $20,000 per year for the first time. [4] Recent press reports indicate often substantially higher rates charged by hospitals than by independent practices -- for the same or similar procedures. [5] When competition is diminished, all Americans pay a price. For these reasons, we support legislative efforts to ensure the continuing viability of independent doctor practices -- to preserve competition, and promote affordable and high quality health care for patients. If you agree with us, we would greatly appreciate your support, by you agreeing to the following statement/petition. While we will not disclose your identity concerning this petition, we would like to disclose the number of citizens collectively who have signed this petition. We believe this would be helpful in achieving our legislative objectives. _________________________________________________ [1] See http://web.sba.gov/faqs/faqIndexAll.cfm?areaid=24 and http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970203914304576630973840478808.html [2] See http://www.accenture.com/SiteCollectionDocuments/PDF/Accenture-Clinical-Transformation-New-Business-Models-for-a-New-Era-in-Healthcare.pdf [3] Id.
