  • Defend religious freedom
    The Republican party has captured the myth laden ideas of "freedom" and "religion" and uses them, with great success, as propaganda to further their corporate agenda. They imply that it is patriotic, and in the service of freedom, to have a closer union of church and state. The founders would be appalled; they recognized that the separation of church and state was necessary for religious freedom. The radical union of church and state proposed by the religious right is a threat to both religion and to freedom.

    Promises and pragmatism won't support our veterans and their families. I have a simple free enterprise plan to engage all 300m Americans, without any taxes, to raise $1b annually.

  • Petition to Decriminalize Maijuana
    Since the mid-1930's possession or growth of marijuana has been a federal crime. It was born out of racism since, at the time, it's use was mainly among blacks. Over the years, various methods have been used by the federal government to enforce this "crime." With the advent on the "War on Drugs," it has truly become a war. People including women and children are being murdered daily and dumped in the streets of the Mexican border towns. Billions of taxpayer dollars have been used to enforce the drug wars with no tangible success. And despite the fact that at least ten states have legalized marijuana for various uses, the federal government continues to prosecute those caught with even small amounts of the substance.This has made the U.S. the nation with the highest number of prisoners incarcerated of any country in the world for drug offences.

  • Universal Health Care
    Congress must use the healthcare that is avialable under the Affordable Care Act. They can purchase other insurance if they want or need to at their own expense without taxpayer funds. They must purchase their own insurance once they leave office and it cannot be funded by taxpayer dollars. Let's stop the waste in government spending.

  • Make weapon magazines limits part of Democratic platform
    The Aurora killer had a 100 round magazine. The Tucson killer had a 30 round magazine. These large capacities turn weapons for self-defense into offensive weapons enabling murderers to be more deadly. The magnitude of these attacks on society are adversely affecting the sense of well-being of Americans in public places.
