  • Veterans who have served 20 yrs or more should receive 100% of their pay in retirement
    My two brothers are veterans, one 20+ years. This has affected him and his family. As a result, he continued to work other jobs to have a decent standard of living. After three tours of Viet Nam and receiving a Purple Heart for bravery, you would think that America would be more supportive and appreciative of his valor for his country.

  • don't cut funding for the kids
    putting a freeze on childcare for low income families will only hurt the families and the economy more that ever. After all, if childcare funding is taken away what is going to happen to the parents who are bearly making ends meet. They will have to quit their jobs, get on welfare, or worse yet send their child to a babysitter that is not certified, which opens another door regarding child's safety. Keep the kids first. stop the cuts

  • Delete So-Called Windfall Elimination Provision
    I have worked and paid into the system since I came to this country in 1991. On applying for my Social Security benefits I was told I am subject to a windfall elimination of approximately $100 per month simply because I worked in another country and am entitled to receive a pension from that country. I understand there are more than a million people in the U.S. who suffer such a reduction in their paid-for benefits. This provision is antiquated and grossly unfair and should be repealed.

  • Remove overburdensome regulations on US Postal Service
    The 2006 lame duck Congress passed a bill requiring that the USPS fund its employee pensions 75 years into the future within a 10 year time frame. This government overreach into the free market of postal service is bankrupting our US Postal Service. USPS is suspending Saturday mail delivery because of this undue financial burden and in time will go bankrupt altogether. Congress should rescind the 2006 law and let the USPS operate in free market conditions.

  • Universal wifi provided by Commonwealth
    Universal wifi provided free of charge to the residents of the Commonwealth would stimulate the economy and draw more businesses to locate here. With speeds as much as 200 times faster than the typical commercial offerings, innovation and entrenprenurial activities will be encouraged. It is the wave of the future that Massachusetts should ride ahead of the rest of the country, except of course where it has already been adopted. See Kansas City.
