I took a look at Vi Simpson's webpage. She has been a very busy senator. She lists 43 bills that she has authored, 18 that she co-authored, 21 that she sponsored, and 9 that she co-sponsored. Few of these bills, as far as I can tell from the titles, reduce the amount of government in our lives. They appear to be just more rules and regulations for us to follow. Some of the bills are just plan silly; a bill honoring Milred Boyle on her 100th birthday, a bill honoring Joe Tiller, a bill honoring Obama for being elected, and a bill to honor the door keeper of the senate. There are several more bills to honor people on the list. She must not have anything important to do.
Really, just looking at the long list I feel like asking her, "Why didn't you just stay home?". None of the bills seem necessary or to be an improvement to our lives. The only one that appears to reduce regulation and increase our freedom was a bill titled, "Sunday carryout by microbreweries". I support this bill, but why limit it to microbrewies?
The list is interesting. Check it out: http://www.in.gov/apps/lsa/session/billwatch/billinfo?request=getLegislationByLegislator&year=2009&id=S040
