1. It should be illegal for a company to own both a newspaper and a television station in the same market. Righteous or Just Wrong? you decide.
According to a Survery from a coalition of Consumer and Telecommunications and Advocacy Group More than half of Americans believe it should be illegal.
2. In order to make it fair to all americans the law should require that teachers in public schools read books to their students not just about mommie and daddy but mommy and mommy and daddy and daddy. Righteous or Just Wrong? you decide.
In September of 2006 Governor Arnold Schweznegger vetoed SB1437. A bill that proposed that very thing.
3. Sixth Grade Girls should be mandated to receive the HPV (Human Papiloma Virus.) Vaccination. HPV is a sexually transmitted virus that can cause Cervical Cancer. Righteous or Just Wrong? you decide.
Before you answer, consider these: The vaccination prevents cervical cancer. The vaccination could erode important conversations that parents should have with their children. The vaccination could significantly increase health care premiums if insurance companies are forced to fit the bill.
Twelve States including California have introduced proposals that will mandate 6th grade girls to receive the HPV vaccination. Stay abrest of your states' legislation. http://www.leginfo.com/ is a great way to stay informed on all issues.

1. Just Wrong
With the diversity of mass media options that currently exist...TV, Radio, Newpaper, Internet...and constantly evolving technologies, a single company should not be restricted from owning both a TV station and newspaper in the same market.
However, the 1969 Fairness Doctrine that required broadcast licensees to present controversial issues of public importance in a honest, equitable and balanced fashion should be revived and updated to include the new media.
2. Just Wrong
While I support the need for schools to recognize mommy and mommy and daddy and daddy, I don't believe that the teaching should be mandated by the state.
In my opinion, school districts, principals and teachers need to be given more leeway and less restriction in terms of lesson plans and teaching techniques.
3. Righteous
While 6th grade (11 and 12 year-olds) strikes me as young, I believe the significant health / protective benefits provided by the vaccination make mandating the vaccine the right decision.
Insurance company and medi-cade / medi-care coverage should also be mandated.
According to the Centers of Disease Control (CDC), about 14,000 women in the US are diagnosed with cervical cancer disease each year and more than 3,900 women die of the disease. The approved vaccine, Gardasil, has nearly a 100% effective rate of protecting against the two HPV strains that causes 70% of the infections.
