  • Make Texas Legal
    It is important for Texas to legalize marijuana because the 'War on Drugs' has been a lost war when you look at the studies and you look at the numbers. Multiple states as well as other countries around the world, already have legalized marijuana. Is simple but, complicated matter Has been cutting the Drug Cartels' profitability margin simply forcing them to resort to other ways to make money. states as well as other countries that have legalized marijuana for medical purposes as well as recreational purposes have seen a significant drop in certain area Of concern that has been causing problems for years. States, and Countries tax the legal marijuana to support there needed, while using less Government funding. Let's not forget that marijuana was legal in the United States until 1937 before it became illegal and it was used as medicine to cure nearly everything. And let's not forget that certain people made marijuana illegal due to the fact that minorities were starting to use marijuana to heal themselves and it wasn't just used by the high-class anymore, which is why it became illegal.

  • Repeal the $15.7 billion tax increase for working families that strips generational wealth.
    These defined contribution plans became popular as a way for workers to save for their retirements by investing small amounts of money each year in a tax-deferred account using pre-tax money. When the retiree started taking distributions, the distributions were counted as ordinary income for tax purposes. Upon the death of the retiree, the beneficiaries of the defined contribution plan would have to take the required minimum distribution every year and pay taxes on that distribution as ordinary income. Because these defined contribution plans would continue to grow tax-deferred, the distributions could continue for decades and could be passed on to the heirs of the beneficiaries. This was a great way for workers to acquire savings and pass those savings and the resultant income on to their children and grandchildren thus creating generational wealth. This changed when the revenue provision of the SECURE ACT passed. Now, the distribution period is shortened to ten years. The effects of this change are two-fold. First, workers can no longer provide long-term savings and income to their children and grandchildren. Second, because the distribution period is shortened, more money is distributed so more money is taxed. Furthermore, the increased distribution will more than likely push the beneficiary into a higher tax bracket. The rich get to leave their kids over $11,000,000 tax free with no restrictions. The working class get to leave their kids a tax increase. Furthermore, the rich get a $1 trillion tax cut over ten years because of the Trump Tax Act. This tax cut helped increase the federal deficit by 26% from 2018 to 2019. The rich get a $1 trillion tax cut. The working class get a $15.7 billion tax increase. REPEAL THE REVENUE PROVISION OF THE SECURE ACT THAT IS A $15.7 BILLION TAX INCREASE FOR WORKERS AND THEIR FAMILIES.

  • Disbar Cippollone
    Without some consequence, this perversion of justice, the Constitution, and the separation of powers, will never be able to be rectified and our democracy and system of justice will be compromised possibly irrevocably.

  • Mass protest / No confidence in the Senate
    Look how it looks? Everybody knows you can't have a trial without documents and witnesses. He's no different from us, the American people! Our country has become a fascist state and it shows. Had this been President Obama, he would have been prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and they would have removed him from office and everybody knows this. The Democrats did an outstanding job, but they need help from the American people they can't do this by themselves. Let's become community organizers. Unite the people to go to Washington D.C. and say out loud, we demand fairness, we demand witnesses and documents now!

  • Reinstatement of FCC Fairness Doctrine
    This doctrine, introduced originally in 1949, required holders of broadcast licenses to give airtime to discussing controversial matters of public interest and to give airtime to contrasting view points. According to the FCC, this kept broadcasters honest, equitable, and balanced.

  • The Fight For The Youth in Talladega City School System
    I am a community activist within the Talladega Community. I have been communicating with parents and those who are concerned about our school system, but because for the last 3 months the Talladega Board of Education has displayed lack of leadership. They have been the topic in the local new paper, The Daily Home. We have parents that attended board meetings expressing their concerns about The Talladega Board and the Superintendent being accused of "racism". Nevertheless, we now have a parent who has a taping of the superintendent talking about black teachers and members of the Talladega School System Board.

  • Make Swimming An Educational Standard
    “There are two animals that walk the earth that don’t swim by instinct, and therefore must be taught; Chimpanzees and Humans” (Bonnie Tsui, 2020 “Why We Swim”) “Swimming is Unlike any other Subject; It is a Life-Saving Skill” Drownings are the number one killer of children under age 5. Worse, for every drowning victim, there are four near-drownings. That is, when someone has been deprived of oxygen for a sufficient amount of time to cause brain damage. Drowning is preventable with swimming lessons and water safety instruction and safer places to swim. Studies have shown that when a community has a public pool, drownings decrease. Swimming used to be as popular as going to the movies; there were huge magnificent municipal pools in many places. They had the Fleishecker Pool and Sutro Baths in San Francisco. The Fleishecker could accommodate 10,000 swimmers and had sandy beaches and lifeguards in rowboats. The tilework and statues were beautiful--museum quality. According to Jeff Wiltse, (Contested Waters--The Social History of Swimming Pools in America, 2007) these fancy municipal pools were for whites only; the black communities had more austere pools--but swimming was popular in both places and lessons were free. In 1947 when the Jim Crow laws expired, blacks could then go to the fancy pools. So many of the plain pools closed when blacks could go to the fancy pools, but they found themselves sometimes unwelcome and whites generally stayed away. Little by little the fabulous municipal pools shuttered. This was when people of means built backyard pools and started private clubs. Swimming stayed popular with anyone lucky enough to have access to a pool. Unfortunately, people that didn’t swim didn't prioritize teaching their children to swim and now we are on the third generation of some non swimmers--and it is really a class issue. But it plays out racially. In 2014 The Center for Disease Control (CDC) did their first ever report on the racial disparity in drownings. The results are alarming. People of color drown at much higher rates than whites. Latinos, Asians, and Blacks drown significantly more often than others.  Swimming pools are expensive to build and maintain, so unless people ask for one, they don’t get built and maintained. In Sacramento, CA where the average July temperature is 94 F, there are few inner city public pools, yet the suburbs are still building them.  Roseville built their aquapark in 1995, and they have two other municipal pools (67%white community).  North Natomas built a $43 million aqua park in 2019 -- 70% white neighborhood.  Elk Grove (45% white and 29% Asian) has three Aqua parks,   Davis has eight municipal pools and is building a $13.6 million aquatic center for 2023.  Because of the lack of access to municipal pools and swimming lessons, there is a huge racial disparity in accidental drownings. An 11 y/o black child is now 10X more likely to drown than a white. Swimming is unlike any other sport; it is a life-saving skill.

  • We Demand All Senators Do Impartial Justice in the Impeachment Trial of President Trump
    This action is unconditionally important in order to preserve and protect our nation's Constitution and Bill of Rights. If Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell conducts a sham or mock trial, this will be an arbitrary act that ends any and all Constitutionally mandated Congressional checks on the power of the Executive Branch. This will nullify our nation's Constitution and open the door to everything from chaos to civil war; and almost certainly to a dictatorship. Our noble experiment in democracy will come to a bitter and likely brutal end.
