Shiva Ayyadurai: Innovation, not regulation

We need to move beyond the debate of whether "climate change" is occurring or not. It doesn't matter. We need tangible solutions to these real problems. Innovation, NOT regulation, is the only way to solve these problems. We need to throw out every career politician who gets in the way of unleashing incredible innovation, which already exist, but cannot reach the market because they do not line the pockets of these politicians and their lobbyists.

Geoff Diehl: Fought linking gas tax hikes to inflation

Geoff led a grassroots effort for a ballot question to repeal the tax hike. Massachusetts drivers have avoided three straight gas tax increases as a result.
