  • Give Us Self-Serve as an Option at Gas Stations
    46 of the 48 continental states have allowed self-service to pump gas for decades now. Oregon should join them in the name of efficiency & lower prices. Self-serve gas is consistently cheaper and prevents us from wasting time waiting around for an attendant to a> notice a customer, b> realize the pump has stopped.

  • Florida Governor Scott. Leave Florida's College Educational System Alone
    The governor appoints people to the Borard of Governors for Florida's state universities who are hostile to the colleges. They are trying to irrationally cut university income rather than consider value and needs of the educational system. I believe that It is the president and the faculty who know what is best for the univesity. Someimes more money not less is needed. Skimping can destroy faculty and thus the value of the education itself. Right now I believe that the cost of Florida colleges compared to others in the are country are very inexpensive and good value..

  • Fix Congress: Change the law so they live like the rest of us.
    Warren Buffett has the right ideas regarding Congressional benefits and responsibilities - why should they NOT participate equally in the same laws for Social Security, health benefits, pensions, and equality under the law? Why should they be allowed to vote special and better benefits for themselves? The only reason laws can be passed quickly and deficits can be cut is because of consistent, clear public pressure. Demand that Congress change these inequalities OR BE VOTED OUT!

  • Grand fathered in benefits
    Congress can not change benefits that people receive but they can change benefits for those not yet receiving them. Congress only can change benefits for new recipints. When a United States citizen works for his retirement it is unlawful for congress to change that civilians life as he has set up his retiring years.

  • Greening our Interstate Highway Berms
    Offset rain forest loss by minimum mowing of our Interstate highway system shoulders and middles. We'll use less fuel, reduce pollution from burning that fuel. Let nature reseed the road middles and shoulders with oxygen creating trees, shrubs and wild flowers. Lovely greenery, beautiful flowers, better air quality, fewer dollars spent. What's not to like?

  • Reduce student loan interest rates to 0%!
    Student loan debt is crushing students like never before and as a result, graduates are unable to afford a decent lifestyle of even just the basics. Given the fact that education is fundamental belief and value in this country as well as the bedrock to the success of the economy, if students are required shoulder the burden of debt, it should at least be an interest free loan.
