The government should organize a "Federal Health Insurance Corporation" along the lines of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (for banks) to provide health insurance. Premiums should be set just high enough to cover the costs of providing benefits and adjusted regularly. This would make the F.H.I.C. revenue neutral, yet would provide significant savings for those who elect to purchase health insurance through this public option.

The tax credit allows low-income, elderly or those 100% disabled to claim a portion of their rent as a tax credit. In 2012,107,000 Missourians claimed the credit, totaling $57 million. The average person is able to receive $450 a year. The maximum credit is $750. Advocates of the credit point out that it leaves the money with the recipient to direct to their specific needs rather than have that money go to a fund to be distributed as lawmakers determine. Many who receive the credit say it is essential for them, as it is used to supplement their income for items including utility bills, non-covered health care procedures and more. The Circuit Breaker Tax Credit program was first established as an amendment to the Missouri Constitution in 1972 by a direct vote of Missouri citizens and has been upheld by each legislature.

Child Protective Services has a history of causing harm to families leaving children vulnerable to potential dangers. They fail to thoroughly investigate claims and provide assistance to families seeking help. CPS violated my Constitutional and Patental Rights after requesting services for my daughter's psychological welfare.

She is now seventeen years of age. This is another example of Their broken system. Please join me in taking a stand for parents that parent and do not abuse.

Rape is a traumatizing experience for the victim. It is a brutal and dehumanizing violation with lifelong damaging effects. The violence and humiliation involved can take years to recover from, sometimes the victim never recovers. A gang rape is often described as an attack involving 2 or more rapists. This is a life altering experience for any victim, especially a minor of 13 years of age. A child is forcibly raped by 2 adult men in Florence, SC on the evening of 02/08/2013. The victim's mother did what she felt was the correct thing to do and contacted the Florence Police Department. Instead of an eager to serve response, the mother and the rape victim were disrespected and treated in an unprofessional manner. Adding insult to injury, there was not a thorough investigation of the crime scene and the perpetrators are allowed to walk the streets among law abiding citizens. Over the past year the family has been bullied and harassed by the alleged rapists and their families. Due to the poor judgement made by the investigating officer; the rapists felt above the law. Their bullying and harassment has caused the victim and her family to move four times and withdraw the victim from public school to be homeschooled to escape the constant bullying. The victim who should be focusing on learning algebra or planning her next slumber party must live with the constant fear of additional attacks and victimization. The child suffers from nightmares, bullying, fear and distrust of the system created to "protect and serve" the community she lives in. Her mother feeling helpless and not knowing where else to turn has turned to me ... a child advocate, a victim professional, a crime fighter, a survivor but most importantly a MOTHER. A mother to children who I would give my life to protect. As a mother, it is important to me that violent child rapists and offenders are brought to justice and removed from our streets. As a citizen, it is important to me that the institutions created to protect our families; do just that...protect.
