• Enact Mandatory Sick Pay For All Hourly Employees
    I have recently started a new job after having left my current for better pay. My new employer does not offer paid sick time off from work. Neither did my former employer. All Americans deserve time off with pay if they are sick. No one should have to worry about not being able to pay their bills if they miss work due to illness.

  • More accountability of public education agencies
    Making sure that public funding for educational improvement is more responsible and effective. Today, much spending is made and little or no review is done to insure that recipients are made accountable for fulfilling their promises through strict post-completion reviews. Many recipients therefore learn to play successful approval routines repeatedly, while never showing real change promised. This has grave, long-term consequences that hinder our ability to prepare our children, and our nation.

  • Stop Proposed Natural Gas Drilling in Goleta
    SoCal Gas seeks amendments to the Santa Barbara County Code (Coastal Zoning Ordinance) in order to directionally drill 4 natural gas wells at their aging Goleta gas storage facility on the California coast. The drilling locations are in close proximity to a wildlife rich tidal slough, 200 space mobile home park, major airport, recreational beach and state university (UCSB). SoCal Gas has already paid for structural supports for two homes in the park due to gas compressor vibrations. What could happen during and after drilling?

  • Highways Rebuilt by Drivers Who Drive the Most: Tax Commuters!
    We all know our highways need consistent maintenance. We're doing our best by buying green cars, carpooling and using the bus. Still, too many commuters are clogging the roads with little consequence. Report your mileage at registration time and pay taxes based on your mileage. Less driving equals less taxes. More driving, more tax. You get what you pay for.

  • Big Agra: Get the sugar out of my kidney beans ! ( as a start)
    As a above-average label-reader I started noticing last winter that every can of kidney beans in our grocery stores has sugar added. I made chili and bean salads for many years and my mother did before me without sugar in the kidney beans ! With health authorities telling us we eat too much sugar, I want big agriculture/ processing companies to stop adding sugar to every product on the store shelves !!

  • Require ingredients and nutrition information to be labeled on all bottled alcoholic beverages.
    People have the right to know what the ingredients are, and what the nutritional content is in bottled alcoholic beverages. Right now, there are almost no requirements as to what is labeled on alcoholic beverages that are sold in retail stores.
