Our neighborhoods need a quality, public elementary school. Too many parents and neighbors feel they don't have acceptable elementary options for their children, and as a result we see young families leave our neighborhoods as their children reach school age. Together with our Neighborhood Associations and our Aldermen, we're proposing to create a new, high-performing, multicultural public school

Tell your senator and representative to let you vote on casino-type gambling in KY. The thoroughbred industry in KY is suffering because our state government will not allow casino-type gambing at our racetracks.

Many people that went to college over the last decade have outrageous student loan debt. Many of them are so far in debt that they may never be able to repay all of the loans. Still others, like me, have student loans that are in default. We need to fix this problem by getting Congress to change the bankruptcy laws regarding student loans as well as returning the Truth In Lending rights to student loans. Student loans should not be a form of debtor punishment or debtor prison. The Constitution gives all Americans the freedom not to be put into a debtor prison; however, the current federal student loan laws are crippling many people with student loans that they cannot afford to repay (I became permanently disabled in 2006, and my only income is my Social Security Disability; I do not receive a benefit amount that can afford me the ability to make payments on my student loans. The student loan lenders have the ability to torture borrowers with default penalty fees (I was charged $25,000!), outrageous interest rates similar to high rates on credit cards as well as demanding monthly payments that are not inline with the borrower's income.
