- "Close the gun show and internet loopholes. 90% of us support Universal Background Checks. There shouldnât be terrorists on no-fly lists that still buy weapons of war â inside our boarders. We need to cross reference IDs with criminal data bases to ensure serial offenders like domestic abusers, gang members and criminals canât buy guns. Limit concealed carry to stateâs rights and do not allow conceal carry reciprocity over state lines. Local law enforcement cannot be expected to know what every neighboring state allows when it comes to guns and what suspects may have on their person. Collectively destigmatize mental health. Your brain chemistry effects, everything. Your brain is like any other part of your body â no two are identical. Everyone should feel free to discuss mental health as they would cancer or any other health ailment. Limit clip sizes to 10 rounds or less. Reloading/switching guns⦠donât tell us the time taken to switch doesnât matter, tactically. It does, lives are saved every half-second longer they have to run. Limit weapons and customization that make them battlefield ready. Certain combinations of caliber, rate of fire and velocity serve no civilian purpose. Small caliber, high velocity weapons were created to shred flesh and internal organs⦠in humans. Battlefield mods like silencers and bump stocks are not conducive to hunting or home protection. Create a federal license/registration for any new purchase of battlefield caliber weapons. This way â responsible gun owners and gun clubs can still own and operate currently available guns â but the supply and acquisition process will drastically limit the gunâs availability to the general public."

- "Expand the ACA and use the pool to create a Single Payer system as a bridge to Medicare-For-All. This is the most humane and economically productive business play we have. Those 74 million Baby Boomers can be offset with younger, healthier folk if they're pooled together to pull prices down." (www.wehavethingstodo.com)

- "If elected, we would introduce legislation in the House to allow states that have legalized marijuana to create an intrastate infrastructure complete with Federal wiring capability. We must lead by a California example. Colorado has had this issue twice in similar cases already in the 10th circuit. We are over 7 times the size of CO. This problem is already here and gets much bigger in 2018. This is a State Rights Fight, and We Have Things To Do." (www.wehavethingstodo.com)
