Yet all motor vehicles must have compulsory liability insurance -- but not so firearms. Therefore subject all firearms to the same types of mandatory insurance liability requirements -- as motor vehicles,

  • State Legal aid to municipalities
    Walmart forced Mount Pleasant council to approve a Walmart grocery store by threatening legal action Mount Pleasant could not afford to fight. There are 5 grocery stores with in a mile. Now Milwaukee based Sentry is laying off 71 workers. Across the state, multinational corporations are using bulling tactics like this. We need to make our Representatives represent us against multinational corporations who override Municipality's decisions by threat of costly legal action.

  • Liability Insurance for Gun owners
    A GSW's average cost is reported to be as high as $1,000,000. A gun owner cannot guarantee that his or her gun will not cause a accidental injury or be used in a crime. Therefore it seems that requiring liability insurance for these weapons is a reasonable expectation for responsible gun ownership. A higher liability requirement could be put on assault weapons.

  • Cut Congress Members Pay
    Members of the United States Congress have utterly failed to do their job in protecting the welfare of this country. Their inability to resolve differences and be effective is shameful. They deserve a pay cut.

    We need to enact term limits for everyone in Congress so we can make progress in our country. Having members without term limits hinders our growth and progress for all of the citizens of the United States of America,

  • FREE ROBERT FOX
    When ONE of us is unjustly imprisoned, we ALL suffer. Dr. Martin Luther King said it best: "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere," in a letter from the Birmingham Jail on 16 April 1963. I know Robert Fox, and he is not a criminal. He is the victim of rogue police officers in Jacksonville, Texas, who are trying to destroy him for filing a claim against the city for THEIR 8 previous false charges that were defeated.

  • Reforms for Congress
    U.S Congress should suffer a $20,00 penalty forany future 'over the cliff' type stand still action. Filibusters MUST MEET ORIGINAL RULES. A physical body must stand on floor, speaking, dancing, whatever; but must BE THERE!

  • Stop Congress Pay Raises
    The President has approved raises for Congress. We should all worry when people who have done virtually nothing, believe they deserve more tax payer money, while the remain indecisive. We need to take a stand and say this isn't right, and that the people of America won't allow it.

  • Fair Share
    Warren Buffett is advocating higher taxes for the rich so they can "pay their fair share." Former President Bill Clinton proposed the idea of a wealth tax in the nineties. For example, Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi has an estimated wealth of over sixty million dollars. Our nation's debt needs our wealthiest one percent to pay their "fair share." Speaker Pelosi, Warren Buffett, and numerous other uber-rich need to pay a one-time tax of twenty to thirty percent without all the tax-avoidance games.
