• Reducing violence with better access to mental health services
    As a mental health professional, I see all too often individuals and families struggle to live balanced lives because our health care system is lacking in this area. They don't have insurance, funding runs out, or services are not covered on the plans they can afford. I keep hearing people say gun control is the answer, but I believe it's not the only piece of the puzzle we need to consider with regards to the violence we have seen in the past several years.

    It is about laws and tax's and we already have give up are liberty when one organization can have a veto on who goes to our congress, that is the NRA. They are not different then any other narrow minded terrorist group.

  • Automatic Weapons Ban in Colorado
    Automatic and semi-automatic weapons were created for combat. They were created for the purpose of killing as many people as possible in the shortest ammount of time. There is no place for them outside of war. They are not needed for hunting. They are not needed for self defense in your home. They are being used in massacres across the country because they can be very easily acquired. Imagine a 5 year old sitting in a classroom trying to learn to read and instead being blown to pieces with an assault rifle. And then sign this petition. One week from today I will send it to Gov. Hickenlooper. We have to start somewhere.

  • Stop the news media from facilitating and profiting from mass shootings in our country.
    We need solutions to stop these ever-increasing mass shootings. The news media provides glorification to these cowardly murderers, and it profits on the death of our fellow citizens and children. It must stop, NOW!

  • Mental Health and Young Adults
    There has been an obvious link to the mental health issue of young adults, particularly males ages teens to early twenties, and the escalating number of horrific, violent incidents currently in outbreak in our country. We must take serious and diligent stock of this crisis now, before any more lives are lost.

  • Medicare for the mentally ill with no waiting period
    There is an epidemic of mass murders. Our prisons are overflowing with mentally ill patients. The number of mentally ill patients that are homeless is staggering. We have to do a lot more. But this is one politically acceptable solution that could be approved soon. This is a first step, a step you could take in the presence of a highly divided political environment.

  • Stand With Your Supporters
    Michigan has been turned into a RTW state by a lame duck congress. We want President Obama to stand with his supporters, the Michigan working class, and refuse permits for Governor Snyders International Bridge.

  • Fix the Filibuster
    A simple Democratic majority in the Senate has the power to change Senate rules to require an actual stand up and talk filibuster of Senate actions in place of the current "I will block" motions that allow the Rebublican minority to prevent the Senate from getting much done. This change can only be made on the first day of the new session, January 3rd, 2013. Why should we be ruled by the minority?
