  • Keep Transparency in Government...Defeat AB2299
    If AB2299 passes, then our government officials, elected and non-elected, including law enforcement officers, DMV employees, etc., will be able to hide their property ownership which is now a matter of public record. Why you ask? To quote a Press Democrat editorial, "Ostensibly, it's to protect them from the threat of personal harm from someone who could otherwise discover where they live. But when asked by the California Newspaper Publishers Association about the prevalence of this kind of hostility, the legislator's staff could not come up with a single example of a public safety officer having been harmed or threatened by way of information obtained in this fashion. We could find no record of any public official being threatened in this way, either." If this passes, then these government officials will be able to hide any ill gotten gains. Current public record allows an individual or a reporter to investigate possible corruption of "bought" elected officials, law enforcement officers, etc. We need to stop this from happening. With the current state of affairs in this country and state, we need more transparency not less. Please tell your representatives to stop this bill cold!

  • Adoption Credit
    As of last year (2011) the government has taken away the adoption credit. Adoption whether through an agency or private attorneys is very expensive. It is such a shame that people like my husband and I who already have one adoptive child and have so much love to give to another child may not be able to ever adopt another baby because of the costs. Without bringing back the adoption credit many couples like us may never be able to adopt another child.

  • Grow our fuel and support farmers and workers
    Hawaii can use its farm lands to grow our fuel. Processing the biomass into fuel will also create a lot of jobs for people. The best and quickest plant for creating and growing our biomass is hemp. Other states have started growing hemp for textiles and paper; however, Hawaii is vulnerable to high fuel prices because of the distance fuel must be transported. Growing our fuel is the answer. Biologically processed fuel is ecological as well.

  • Legalize Medical Marijuana in Massachusetts
    Currently people with conditions such and M.S., Cancer, fibromyalgia, glaucoma, depression, eating disorders, and anxiety are forced to take percription medication with far more side effects then marijuana. Not to mention the addiction rate. If more people were precribed medical marijuana it would take a large amount of the percription street drugs out of the picture.

  • We Want Our Home!
    Banks will agree to a short pay or short sale transaction on a home and accept, in some cases, $300,000 less than the current mortgage value. Why not make this same offer to the homeowner by reducing the principle and allow them to stay in their homes? This would put an immediate halt to the 1,000's of foreclosures in our nation and give our economy a chance to heal.
