  • Reform Minimum Wage Law
    For years I worked as a kitchen manager supervising up to 15 mostly minimum wage employees. This type of dynamic is very common in California and is a great way for business owners to reap major profits with very low overheads. Unfortunately, most minimum wage workers are paid the same rate for years while dutifully and loyally perform whatever is required of them to reach payday. Give honest and dutiful workers a chance to grow in their profession and a chance to thrive in our society by proposing a tier structured salary framework for small businesses in California.

  • End the filibuster and the gerrymander
    Without Senate obstruction by the minority via the filibuster, and without the anti-democratic gerrymander giving the minority control of the House, we could address the entire Progressive agenda. The Senate sets its own rules, and has full power to dismantle the filibuster as we know it. Congress has full authority under the Constitution to regulate Federal elections, and the DoJ can ask the courts to rein in state malfeasance. Then we can talk about a new stimulus, massacre control, science, immigration reform, protecting women, education, and stopping the Republican War on Everybody.

    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."

  • As a gun owner, we can preserve the 2nd amendment, AND keep people safe. And it is our duty.
    I am a gun owner, and believe that gun owners have a DUTY to be part of the solution to prevent tragedies. The right to bear arms is protected by the Second Amendment, but it is not absolute: the Supreme Court found that while a handgun ban is not constitutional, because handguns are in “common use,” a machine gun is not and therefore could be restricted. An assault weapon equipped with a clip that can shoot hundreds of rounds would likely fall into the same category.

  • Media Reform
    Thomas Jefferson has stated, "Give the people the light and they will find their way". The American people have been lied to about the weapons of mass destruction that got us into the Irak war. ALEC has been operating secretly for decades without the people knowing. Media doesn't print what might hurt its bottom line.etc.

  • 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.
