Yes, I support it. I feel that we need to open access to voting whenever possible and this is one valid option.
We need to pass the current clean energy bill on the table and also continue to prioritize climate legislation in the 194th General Court.
We need to live up to the commitments in the Affordable Homes Act just passed, but also work to increase funding over time in the Commonwealth Builder Fund. We also need to make the process more streamlined to build affordable housing.
We need to continue to be a sanctuary state, but in order to do that we need more funding from the Federal Government. We need compassion, but at $1 billion per year, we need help.
I am a supporter of regional transportation and also using the millionaires tax funding to keep investing in transportation in the state.

No, because it violates the our Constitutional Bill of Rights, denies us of our individual right's to control our own destiny as indivudual. It would allow organize criminal organizations and foreign governments to control our dentiny.
We must "Make Commonsense, Make Sense", our major problem is we, have decided to desdtroy certain neighborhoods or countries for our own selfish profit. We as men and women must learn to esteem each others higher then we do ourselves.
This Country we know as American was created by the Faith Base Community, and it will never be the same without the guide lines that made America Great, We must return to working with Faith Base Instutions to build trust, and confident in the American System of freedom, independent and justice. Funding must be equality expended to those who have slaved and given their tax dollars to make the housing market work for us all.
We need to deal with the Immigration problem by following the laws in this country, which has made America Greaat. All county has laws and rules which the citizens in that country live by inorder to have a civilize country, America is no different.
We need the city, state and federal government to stop abusing our community, since Covid-19 a plague of abuse, destuction and death has been upon our community, Our parks have been destroyed, the people who fought for changes in our community have been illegally removed, our voting power have been destroyed. Tests done 30 years ago stated our communty was been victimized by car polution and chemicals, causing respiratory cancer and other diseases. To day the streets are made narrow, creating more traffic jam, no place to parking, speed bumps destroying car alignment and dangeous bikes tricks for kids, chemical plants and meter maids are becoming millionairs writing tickets on the poorest communities through out Massachusetts.
