  • Gun Control
    After Sandy Hook I believe that we must get better control of the guns in this country. I am not against gun ownership and in fact I own five guns myself. We must have accountability for products that can do so much damage in such a short time.

  • Proposed Calendar for Chicago Public Schools
    As a parent and teacher, I want the Chicago Board of Education to postpone their vote on the proposed schedule until parents and teachers have had a chance to evaluate the effects of the new schedule on their children's education.

  • WHO IN CONGRESS HAS TAKEN NRA MONEY?
    As the gun control debate rages in the wake of Newton and other similar tragedies, I am interested in knowing how donations from the NRA may or may not have shaped the opinions of our representatives in Congress.

  • SEE UPDATE BELOW: Tell Google To Support MMS Through Google Voice
    UPDATE: Google Voice is slowly being integrated into Google Hangouts, now, which does appear to have MMS support. There's still a few kinks to get out of the way, but things are moving in the right direction, it seems. ----- I've been using Google Voice for years, now, and there's a few things I'm willing to forego for the convenience of it. The lack of MMS support, especially in the form of getting group texts from an iPhone, has been killer, though. The worst part about it is Google's silence in addressing this. Last time I can see that they even tried is in October of 2011. Tell Google to address this, now, or at least tell us if they won't address this.

  • Daylight Savings Time
    I yet have met anyone who would not prefer to have daylight savings time all year round. I think it helps our moods to have more daylight. I also know it gives us more time to do outdoor activities.

    Many loopholes have appeared that may enable Fracking to be a burden on taxpayers and citizens. These should be fully addressed before Fracking is permitted.

  • Vehicle Miles Tax - Massachusetts
    Western Massachusetts does not have mass transportation, most people commute long distances to work. The TAXES already paid on our vehicles are: Sales Tax when we purchase the vehicle, Excise Tax-yearly, State & Federal Tax on each and every gallon of gas/diesel that we purchase. We have NO OTHER OPTIONS FOR TRANSPORTATION. ENOUGH! Our Massachusetts Governor wants to now TAX us for the number of miles we drive on our vehicles each year. Example: if they impose even a small amount of $.10 cents per mile, and you drive 10,000 miles a year (which is not a lot) that would mean and additional mileage tax of $1000. which equals $83.00/month and that is at only 10 Cents per mile. Wake up!!!!!!

  • Set a standard minimum per student expenditure level in public schools across America
    By pegging per student expenditure levels to those at the best academically performing schools in America, the new funding mechanism will establish a per-student expenditure that insures all public schools will have equal access educational resources and professional quality curriculum while minimizing the destabilizing effects on public education quality created by the funding parameters set by the "No Child Left Behind" policy.
