Curbing corporate corruption
In looking to curb the greed and corruption in America, we turn to our good neighbors of the north, Canada.
Examining the "Sale of Goods Act of 1960 and amended Act of 1996", we find, once all the legalese is set aside, the objective of this act is to make sure Canadians play nice and don't screw each other with dirty tricks and unfair business practices.
When I think about some of the crooked mechanics we have taken our car to, and some appliances we have bought in the past, I was wishing America had a Fairness Act similar to Canada. Digging deeper, we discover it does, and also, states like Ohio and Texas have their own version to supplement the federal regulations.
But it seems to us, due to wording and terminology, Canada's Fairness Act is superior to its American counterpart
in almost all respects.
The United Fascist Union therefore proposes American consumer protection legislation be revamped and mended so it is more like the laws and regulations existing in Canada and its provinces at present.
Respectfully,
Mr. Jack Grimes
Presidential Candidate of the
United Fascist Union
Long live Pearson and Zuckerman!
As a Burlington resident, taxpayer and teacher, I am writing to express my continued support for State Representatives Christopher Pearson and David Zuckerman.
I had recently written a letter to our district's legislators calling on them to repeal the "Two Vote Mandate" provision of Act 82 which would make it harder for local communities to pass school budgets, resulting in serious damage to the state of public education.
Both Pearson and Zuckerman responded to my plea promptly, and informed me that it was their initiative to bring this amendment back to the forefront for repeal. With their support and advocacy, the successful repeal within the House has proven a very significant first step toward returning local control to our school boards and citizens to decide what's best for our children.
