• Repeal Obama's National Defense Resources Preparedness Executive Order
    People of the United States need this Executive Order repealed because it sets up the precedent for Martial Law in America, and violates the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution. The Order states that the president and his secretaries have the authority to commandeer all U.S. domestic resources, including food and water, as well as seize all energy and transportation infrastructure inside the borders of the United States. The Government can also forcibly draft U.S. citizens into the military and force U.S. citizens to fulfill "labor requirements" for the purposes of "national defense.

His honesty and show of humanity is rare in corporations today and should be applauded.

  • The Employee Drug Test Protection Act
    I am a bill, I have yet to be introduced into legislature. If you value your Civil Liberties, and you right to privacy, I am a bill that will fight for you much like the Employee Polygraph Protection Act fights for you now!!! Every year over 10,000 hard working Americans lose their jobs over inaccurate, improper and false drug test results. Every year we spend Billions of dollars on testing people without cause. This illegal search is being used, instead of judging peoples performance on the job. It is time the myriad of Drug Tests that everyday ordinary citizens are being subjected to on a constant basis in this "free" country comes to an end. It is time to end the illegal search and seizure, the religious and racial discrimination, and terrible stigma that is pre-employment random and suspicion-less drug testing. Wouldn't you agree?? Then do something. ONLY YOU can really make a difference. ..

  • Justice for Kenneth Chamberlain Sr.
    On November 19, 2011, at approximately 5 a.m., my father, 68-year-old Kenneth Chamberlain, Sr., was at his home located at 135 S. Lexington Avenue in White Plains, New York. He was a 20-year veteran of the Westchester County Department of Corrections, and he proudly served the United States of America as a Marine, receiving an honorable discharge. He stood about 5 feet, 9 inches tall, and he suffered from a heart condition. His medical alert device sent an alert to his service provider, which placed a call to the City of White Plains Department of Public Safety. In response to the call, police officers, firefighters, and emergency medical technicians went to my father’s home. Once at his house, the police knocked on my father’s door and were verbally greeted by him. He told them that he did not need assistance and that there was no medical emergency. He told them that he did not call them. Despite being told that there was no need for their services, the police refused to leave and insisted that my father let them into his home. My father had not committed any crime, and he declined to let them into his home. My father communicated with police at length, and his medical alert service provider advised the White Plains Police Department that they wanted to withdraw their request for medical assistance because there was no emergency. Despite this information, the police continued to insist that they gain an entry to my father’s apartment. During the incident, the police banged on my father’s door over and over again, causing him to fear for his life. In fact, my father contacted his medical alert service provider while the police were banging on his door and asked them for help. He told them that the White Plains Police employees were outside his door and were going to kill him. The medical alert service provider recorded the communications between the police and my father. During the incident, the police were disrespectful to my father and threatened him as he stood in his apartment and told them that he just wanted to be left alone. The police continued to bang on my father’s door for approximately an hour. During that time they taunted my father, cursed at him, and called him a "n****r." They ultimately broke through his apartment door and forced their way into his apartment, all without his consent. Upon entering his home, and without warning or prior verbal warnings or orders, police immediately used a Taser weapon against my father and attempted to shock him with the Taser’s electricity. My father was standing approximately six to eight feet away from the officers, and he was wearing nothing but boxer shorts when the police began their assault against him. After using the Taser against my father, everything else is questionable except for the fact that two 40 caliber rounds were fired into my father which resulted in his death. In my opinion my father was murdered! We are asking the Westchester County D.A. to bring a criminal indictment, and we call on the United States Department of Justice or the New York State Attorney General to prosecute this as a hate crime, since it appears that his killing was motivated by hate.
