• insurance rates
    When I called to ask the breakdown they use to determine mostly auto rates,I was unable to get any satisfactory ANSWERS. Why,they do it for demerits showing a table of sorts so you know where stand if you are caught speeding etc.Why countnt this or something similiar be done with credit score critia.and also another question people should have answered (If theres a couple or family of drivers are they based on the best score or the lowest scoreor on individual scores of those drivers? And last do our rates go down with a improve score as fast as they go up when your score goes lower.what kind of studies were used to even set up something like this and maybe it woulb be nice to see if some auto etc issurers use a lower,less harmful scale or maybe no scale at all

  • LIFT THE EMBARGO ON CUBA
    The U.S. Trade Embargo with Cuba which was created in 1961 has run its course and now is the time to normalize relations with our southern neighbor nation. We should not be influenced by those Cubans who now live in South Florida and hold grudges against the Castro regime. The American government needs to act to encourage a period of healing which will follow the eventual death of Fidel and Raul Castro and free this island nation to create a self-determined form of government.

  • Filing federal and state income tax on Social Security
    Many of us on social security are forced to continue working due to the economy and the loss of much of our retirement after 9/11. We have already paid the taxes on the social security we are drawing and continue to pay into social security while still working. People over 70 SHOULD NOT have to claim social security on Federal and State Tax returns!

  • Stop financial discrimination in schools
    Parents everywhere are suffering financially. Not every family qualifies for free lunches, yet even reduced lunches can get costly. Some parents are having to choose between paying their bills, putting gas in the car, or immediately paying off their children's student lunch accounts. Schools then suspend children with a negative balance on their lunch accounts from attending fun activities & games. In effect punishing them for their family's financial status. Congress needs to act & stop this type of discrimination now! Students should not be prevented from enjoying activities because their parents can't afford to feed them. Congress should draft legislation preventing schools from suspending children with negative lunch balances from attending fun games, rallies, etc.. End financial discrimination in schools now!

  • Tax the Catholic Church
    In recent months, the Catholic Church has launched unprecedented political attacks against President Obama. One bishop went as far as likening President Obama to Hitler and Stalin from the pulpit of his church. Such political activity against a particular candidate violates the tax-exempt status, and as citizens we should not be indirectly funding them.

  • Save the College Hill neighborhood
    We must stop the Gilbane Development Company from developing a massive apartment complex in the College Hill neighborhood. This proposal will drastically affect the integrity of our neighborhood, and substantially conflict with the approved comprehensive plan. Our stated goal to protect the character and scale of existing commercial buildings along Thayer Street by containing the existing commercial district and discouraging zoning variances has not changed in the few months since the neighborhood plans were approved. We need to save College Hill homes and save the College Hill neighborhood.
