Overtuning the Supreme Court "Citizens United" ruling

Citizens United

Children's toys shouldn't be glorifying a controversial CIA assassination program that kills innocent children and violates international law. According to the Bureau of Investigative Journalism in London, 176 children have been killed by CIA drone strikes in Pakistan since 2004. Human rights groups like Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have sharply criticized the CIA drone strike program and called for it to stop. Don't let Maisto desensitize our children to the killing of other children!

The new Right to Work Law, pushed through without public hearings in a lame duck session of the state legislature, ensures that all in Michigan will have the right to work FOR LESS. It will weaken unions, until now the only force that helped level the playing field for workers negotiating with ever more powerful corporations. It isn't the right to choose. That would be the same as being able to choose to withhold your federal taxes when a president is elected that you don't like. Unions are democracy. Right to Work is only to destroy them and impoverish families.

Obama care included a provison that the health programs would not be allowed to negotiate discounts for drugs from the drug companies. This kills competition and the longterm costs to the heathcare system will be highly inflated. We must uphold free market to keep these costs competitive. This needs to be applied to all govenrment funded programs (include VA system)for all drugs and supplies.

The Massachusetts legislature approved the licensing of up to 3 casinos in our state without ever getting voter approval that they agreed with the concept of expanded gambling. I think before any regional casino plan moves forward for local approval, citizens of the Commonwealth should have the right to decide if we even want expanded gambling in the first place.

I believe my home went to foreclosure in an unethical/illegal term.

Many Americans are without jobs because corporations like Comcast Cable keep exporting jobs. How many times have you called to pay your bill, ask questions or request service just to have your call answered by someone in the Philippines or Mexico? Comcast - Please Come Home! Americans are ready, willing and able to do the jobs you continue to export.

As the gun control debate rages in the wake of Newton and other similar tragedies, I am interested in knowing how donations from the NRA may or may not have shaped the opinions of our representatives in Congress.

MORTGAGE FRAUD & CORRUPTION

U.S. mortgage lenders will benefit in a deal to settle charges that they wrongfully foreclosed on many homeowners. Under the deal, 12 mortgage lenders will pay more than $9 billion to compensate hundreds of thousands of people whose homes were seized improperly, a result of abuses such as "robo-signing." That's when banks automatically approved foreclosures without properly reviewing documents. Taxpayers will end up subsidizing them for the settlement money they will have to pay. The Internal Revenue Service regards the lenders' compensation to homeowners as a cost incurred in the course of doing business. Result: It's fully tax-deductible.

The app, released for free on the Apple iTunes store Sunday, provides news and information for the organization, but also includes a 3D shooting simulation that the gun advocacy group says “ instills safe and responsible ownership through fun challenges and realistic simulations.” Gamers can choose between 3 environments including a skeet shoot and 9 firearms, but further weapon upgrades can be bought for $0.99. The current top in-game purchases are the Colt Pistol along with two sniper rifles, the MK11 and Dragunov SVD. The app’s main menu provides information for gun safety, NRA news, hunting season and relevant legislation.
