Dear Senator Boxer,

According to news reports, you have decided to close out your long and illustrious career by cleaning up election voter I.D. regulations.  Possibly, you might consider a couple of comments with regarding priorities of national concern.

1. Now that we, as a nation, have come to our senses and have eliminated this ridiculous and childish embargo of Cuba - it is time to terminate the "Cuban Adjustment Act!"  Cubans should NOT have any more priority over U.S. citizenship than any other country - I find this "Act" as both offensive and in violation of our Immigration Laws!
2. Voter I.D. legislation is probably needed; but, before you open up or eliminate voting requirements, I would encourage you to look at certain problems California has created in their attempt to provide illegals with a driver's license.

Possibly, you might have noticed it costs a little bit more at the gas pump these days.  Because of a California Greenhouse Gas law requiring polluters to clean up their act, the petroleum industry is passing on the costs to the consumer.  The question remains: is this a fee or a tax?
