Lack of Violence

This isn’t the Wild West or a video game.  It’s real life.  The first responsibility of government is citizen safety and security.  It is time to provide security for children in schools.  No student or teacher in America should be afraid of being hurt by simply going to school.  We need to increase the size and improve the effectiveness of law enforcement.  We need to educate and job train prison parolees so they have incentives not to commit crimes.  We need secure borders and inspected cargo.  We need sensible gun laws and background checks.   We need to be intolerant of violence and educate our children on how to negotiate and make non-violence our national  goal.

This is our agenda.  And now we need you.  We need your best most thoughtful ideas about how we as a nation might create laws and establish policies to make these imperatives rise again in American life.  Every so often we’ll all vote on the best ideas and send them to our elected representatives and hold them accountable for real action. It’s past time.  Let’s put the future in our hands.
