• Gun Rights Should Have A Price
    Citizens have a right to own guns, but certain guns have particularly high costs to society. Therefore, they should be taxed to defray those costs or prevent those costs from accruing. These taxes should provide funding for improved school security, psychiatric services focused on reducing violence, and compensation for victims of violence from the weapons most likely to be used in attacks which will have multiple victims.

  • Make 2013 the Year of Herb Jeffries
    make 2013 the year of Herb Jeffries. That is to recognize the lifetime achievements of Herb Jeffries, great singer of Flamingo, and more, with Duke’s greatest ‘Blanton Webster era’ band. HJ was also the creator of the Bronze Buckaroo movies. The great thing is that this American hero is still alive and about to turn 100 this year.

  • McDonald's does not offer employees holiday pay
    I have been employed at McDonald's since November 5, 2011. I have had to work long shifts on three different holidays: Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve. They do not offer holiday pay at all. I worked for minimum wage on all three of those holidays and did not get to spend any time with my family. I think it's a travesty of justice that a billion dollar corporation cannot at least pay their employees holiday pay. What then is my incentive to want to work on those special days?

  • Appoint Barney Frank as interim Senator from Massachusetts
    In the next few months, Congress is going to debate some incredibly important issues, like the debt ceiling, mandatory budget cuts, and a possible government shutdown. Republicans have made it clear they will fight to cut domestic spending and the Social Security and Medicare I've worked for and paid into all my life. Barney Frank has never been afraid of a fight, and if appointed to the Senate to replace John Kerry, he won't back down in defending working families and seniors like me.

  • Take Facebook offline for a week
    Facebook has become a cultural norm for teenagers. Kids spend all of their free time on the computer instead of developing personal relationships, or other creative healthy pastimes; and it creates a footprint that could be damaging to them in the future in ways they cannot possibly understand (because we don;t know how all that info is even being used right now..).
