  • License for owning and/or using a gun
    Due to the problems that we have experienced in this country in recent year, I think it is time that a Federal Gun license be needed for owning or using a gun. We have fishing licenses for fishing, so why not for shooting? It would have to be needed in every state. If the parent in a family owns a gun and he or she lets her children use it, they would have to have a license too. The background check would be done in order to get a license, and it would need to be renewed, just like a drivers license,

  • Cable Television Providers: Allow Professional Sports Licensing Fee Opt-out!
    According to the Wall Street Journal (March 8, 2010), roughly __40%__ of your cable television bill pays for professional sports licensing fees. The NFL's 2011 revenue (a 501(c)(6) non-profit that pays no taxes) was over $9 Billion! If you don't watch professional sports, why pay for it?!

  • Stop civil liberties discrimination
    To encourage all governmental and non-profit organizations to stop using violent tones or hateful tones against actions that are protected by the constitution. This includes Pro-choice, freedom of speech, firearm owners, civil servants, the right to assemble and many hateful and bitter statements of areas that should be protected by the rights of the people. Democracy is not about the masses preferred choice but the rights of the individual to be able to provide a resource for the greater community.

  • Fair Payment for Representation
    Make the citizens of each state responsible for the salaries and benefits of their representatives to Congress. It is grossly unfair for citizens in the more populous and relatively wealthier states to be paying for the salaries of representatives of states with relatively low populations and wealth, especially when these representatives vote against the interests of those in the more populous/wealthier states, e.g., Hurricane Sandy relief.

  • End Proverty in the United States
    This is long over-due, "The curse of proverty has no justification in our age. It is socially as cruel and blind as the practice of cannibalism at the dawn of civilization.... The time has come for us to civilize ourselves by the immediate abolition of poverty" Martin Luther King

  • Don't raise tuition on Connecticut students
    I was alarmed when I heard that the state's budget gap might result in large tuition increases (3 to 14 percent) for students at Connecticut's Colleges and Universities like me. It could mean a hike of more than a thousand dollars in tuition. This would make going to school next semester significantly harder for me, and, and impossible for many. What makes the matter even more upsetting is that students, who are most impacted by these decisions, have a diminishing voice on the Board of Regents (only 2 of the 19 members). This is unacceptable.
