  • Support free public Wi-Fi
    Free public Wi-Fi is to the 21st century what free public schools and free public libraries were to the 20th century. Ref "Washington Post", "The proposal from the Federal Communications Commission has rattled the $178 billion wireless industry, which has launched a fierce lobbying effort to persuade policymakers to reconsider the idea, analysts say."

  • 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.
