EITHER WE SHOULD LEAVE THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE AS IS OR WE SHOULD ABOLISH IT ALTOGETHER AND GO TO A SYSTEM OF ONE VOTER ONE VOTE.....

I have spent a year trying to find a house that fits a wheel chair because of substandard door ways. There is actually no standard in California. Interior and exterior doors, including bedrooms and bathrooms, private and public, need to be at least 32 inches wide with room to maneuver a wheel chair on both sides of the door.

On July 26, 1941, six months before the outbreak of World War II, US President Franklin Roosevelt issued an executive order that placed the Philippine Commonwealth troops under the command of the United States Armed Forces of the Far East (USAFFE). This move made the Philippines, then a US colony, the largest American military garrison outside of the United States. But despite this historical fact, the US Congress passed the Rescission Act of 1946 that stripped the Filipinos their right and privileges as American veterans by stating that “Their war record were deemed inactive.” With this Rescission Act of 1946, more than 250,000 Filipino soldiers who fought as USAFFE, guerillas and troops of the Commonwealth of the Philippines from 1944-1945 and as US army soldiers lost their American Veterans status. For the last 67 years, Filipino WW II veterans have been singled out and denied their rights by our government and left without benefits or recognition after having been commissioned to fight a war in an American territory. They bravely fought side by side with American allies during World War II and have been unjustly excluded in the GI Bill of 2008 and GI Bill of 1944, which recognized and granted full benefits to 65 allied nationalities EXCEPT the Filipinos. Only 41,000 Filipino veterans are still living out of the 250,000 who fought during World War II. With a median age of 90, it is with the greatest urgency that the Filipino and Hawaiian communities demand our leaders to rectify this gross injustice. At least ten veterans die each day without seeing the light of full recognition. Full equity is long overdue. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 authorized the release of a one-time, lump-sum payment to eligible WW II Filipino veterans ($15,000 for those living in the US and $9,000 for those in the Philippines). While 18,698 were granted these sums, more than 24,000 Filipino veterans were denied of their claims. The worst part is that the same number of widows was also denied. A legislative bill introduced by Rep. Jackie Speier, The Filipino Veterans Fairness Act of 2011 or HR 210, gained the support of 96 cosponsors in Congress and direct endorsements of R-Rep. Jeff Miller, Chairman of House Committee of Veterans Affairs, and House Democratic leaders Reps. Nancy Pelosi and James Clyburn. Despite garnering a high number of cosponsors, this bill did not pass. The veterans, their widows and family, and members of Justice for Filipino American Veterans have been lobbying for the last 20 years in Congress. For more information, email [email protected].

Stop attempting to take away our rights

My brother had a swim accident 2yrs ago. he was born in 1984. very young when accident happen with 4 kids. Childsupport is based on the childs needs. (understood) I also am a mother so i do understand the exspenses. My son is 3 and daughter 18. I have never recieved help. I leave that to the fathers. However my brother is a quad. He cant feed himself or move anything pass shoulders. Law goes by child, percent per child if more than one. Not on fathers ability to work or income. I believe this should be changed. As do lawyers and judges that i have talked with. He and three children were together at time of his accident. (2 different mothers) Both have taken him to court and push readily bc they can. Not bc he can pay it. It only makes it harder on the kids, and stress on a man already weighed down by the disabilty itself. Thats rediculious. WITH OUT FUNDS TO LIVE HIMSELF. more than less spend money on fun for he and his children to enjoy eachother in curriculars that cost anything. Goverment takes away earned income for those same children. Is there a balance??

Plans to change how electoral votes are apportioned are being discussed, and would strongly bias the electoral vote in favor of Republicans. This is change we do not believe in.

Political stability and our democratic republic rests in large part on this institution that converts a simple electoral majority into an overwhelming plurality and thus facilitates a peaceful transition of power with less room for arbitrary and partisan political obstructionist dissent.

True Transparency in Judicial Selection to promote real merit based appointments to the Bench. We claim that our system is merit based, but political insiders and persons with narrow experience and limited tenure abound.

We need a state law to support the US Supreme Court decision in Citizen's United to make all exercise of 1st Amendment rights by by companies subject to regulation to require (1) full transparency of all political contributions in the annual report of all companies; and, (2) each board of a company shall be subject to binding shareholder votes over allowing political contributions from the company. We need the above to be enacted and upheld by the US Supreme Court, or a Constitutional Amendment defining a corporation as not a "person" under law, but that would be much harder.
