  • Fluoroquinolones: Take Them Off The Market
    The United States Food and Drug Administration approved drugs within the family of Fluoroquinolones (Levaquin, Cipro, Avelox, Floxin), while wide-spectrum antibiotics, have serious side effects that can damage an individuals long term health. These drugs, while in some cases beneficial have proven too dangerous to the public and need to be removed from the market.

  • Congress: Issue Subpeonas for the Drone Strike Memos
    Senate and House committees have sought from the Administration legal memos justifying the use of drone strikes outside any traditional theater of war, including those that target American citizens. In response, the Administration finally released some information, but is refusing to disclose more. It makes a difference what the policy is. Recent polls have indicated that most Americans wouldn't support drone strikes if there is a significant risk of civilian casualties, and wouldn't support broad targeting of anyone suspected of being associated with a militant group if they aren't a threat to the United States. The information that has been released so far shows that the Administration can release information to Congress and the public without compromising national security. We need to have an informed public debate about the drone strike policy, and to have an informed debate, we need to know what the policy is. Here's an article from the Huffington Post about the possibility of subpoena: Subpoenas For Drone Memos From House Judiciary Committee Has 'Bipartisan Interest' http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/02/27/drone-memos_n_2776036.html

  • No Results no pay!
    Our Congress is failing the American people that they serve. I am asking that we change the pay structure for our Senators and Congress men and women. Change the pay structure to a model that is results driven or return it back to a per diem model that was good enough for our forefathers. The current pay structure offers 175 to 194,000 dollars per annum (130 to 180) days. $97.00+ /hour. This pay structure is obviously not working and I believe that there is no incentive to produce results. Offering a per diem with min and max bonuses based on US citizen satisfaction will improve andl produce better results.

  • Exporting energy without a Energy Policy
    Our Goverment has failed to ever establish a Energy Policy. Other countries want our fuel and will pay for it. This may cause our energy to be sold without a energy policy to control the transactions.

  • Repeal Section 634 of the Taxpayer Relief Act
    Section 634 of the Taxpayer Relief Act decreases Medicare outpatient reimbursement for Cobalt 60 stereotactic radiosurgery (“Gamma Knife®”) for brain disorders by more than 50%. Which is below the cost of providing a procedure. This will reduce access to an important treatment for Medicare beneficiaries, result in certain patients losing access to a viable procedure and potentially impose cost increases on the Medicare program over time.

  • Ban Cell phones while driving
    Study after study has demonstrated that talking on a cell phone while driving is dangerous. This practice should be banned. It would also make it easier to enforce the no texting law if any cell phone use while driving is illegal.
