• Protect our privacy, restore accurate caller ID to wireless phones.
    I would like to see caller I.D. restored to all of our wireless phones. Our friend's calls look like telemarketers when we see things like "Unknown, Out of Area, California, Nevada call, etc". These odd names show even when it's from the V.A. hospital calling to make an appointment with my husband. Many times I do not answer these calls. We're paying for the caller I.D. service and the wireless companies are making a "mint" off of us. Let's get caller ID back with real names of real people. Let telemarketers state who they are so we have a choice as to what call we want to answer.

  • Repeal FEMA Disaster Reservist Program

  • Music Videos need a reality check
    Music videos are highly influential, to young people; much like commercials (but longer) they tell young people what to drink, what to wear, how to wear it, and how to live. The problem is that the images portrayed are many times degrading to women and the disadvantaged. I believe that music videos should provide a disclaimer to inform young people that the lifestyles portrayed are not realistic

  • Implement WV Barber Apprentice Program
    There is presently a shortage of Barbers coming into the proffession. With only one school in the State it is impractical for most to attend from far distances. I believe the program has been legislated in a previous years legislative session and needs only to have the curriculum approved and the program implemented. This directly affects me because I have a barbershop in Glenville and cannot find help with my client base.

  • Save Our Post Office Iowa
    Our goal is to save the U.S. Postal Service from drastic cuts in service. We want the postal service to cease closing mail processing plants. We want the postal service to continue 6 day delivery and we want the postal service to stop closing post offices and cutting retail operating hours. Our goal is to see the dramatic pre payments into retirement accounts to stop and be returned to the postal service. We are proud of our postal network in Iowa and want to keep it the way it is.

  • College Tuition Loan Debt
    College students graduating by the hundreds and no jobs, or jobs paying below what their degrees dictate. So they are faced with either having no job or taking what they can get in order to live, but still not enough to pay for cost of living and tuition payments. I am being affected by this right now. My daughter has college debt that I don't know how we will pay it. I have been laid-off for 4/5 years now. I am not able to help her. I understand may other college students are in the same predicament. I understand it has been referred to as another Mortgage Crisis (yet is is College Debt Crisis)
