The following was sent to Gov. Tom Wolf:

Dear Sir,

As our Pennsylvania state governor, please consider the following laws that would benefit the voting citizens of Pennsylvania:

1. Voting citizens 65 years of age and older can vote via mail if they choose without having a medical problem or involving a medical professional.

2. The DD214 form or military discharge will be recognized as valid identification for Pennsylvania, including the Department of Motor Vehicles and other state agencies.

3. A homestead law to protect homeowners from losing their homes to creditors. This law should be similar to the Texas homestead law.

4. Borough, city and township secretaries should have in their posession candidate packages for various elections. Currently all ccandidates statewide must go to their respective county courthouses to pick up candidate packets. This causes wasted energy and time and parking and traffic congestion. An amendment could be added to section 1111, page 11:5, 2014 edition, Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes.
