The Lompoc Housing Community Development Corportation (LHCDC) has for years willingly and brazenly failed to comply with county and city government agency requests to honor the contracts they entered into for the purpose of building, renovating, and managing low income housing throughout the community. To date they have not been held accountable in any way. Hundreds of housing units have been impacted and likely lost indefinitely, along with potentially millions of taxpayer dollars.

The House Ethics Committee voted that it had found probable cause to investigate the Governor on possible ethics violations during her time as a House member. Yet before any testimony, this very committee also voted to clear her of any wrongdoing. How is it possible that they could have reached such a conclusion with no evidence or witness testimonies?

Too many of our television media outlets seem reluctant to share all the news with their viewers. The truths being spun by some networks and ignored by others, create a vacuum that gets filled by propaganda and innuendo instead of facts and reality. We need the truth, especially in a crucial election year. If a candidate is lying, we need to know. If Congress is playing nothing but politics, we also need to know!

OUR ECONOMY CONTINUES TO DECLINE AND BANKERS DONT CARE.THEY ARE TAKEN YOUR HOME TO MAKE UP FOR THEIR OWN LOSSES AND CONTINUE LIVING FREE LIFE STYLES IN WEALTH HEALTHY COMPENSETIONS PACKETS.

I would like to challenge the media to investigate the businesses owned by the big PAC donators, ie Koch Brothers. If information is provided, we as consumers can boycott their businesses and hurt them in their pockets as they seem to have no problem messing with our policitics.

I bank at Sun Trust and got this notice on my monthly statement: "EFFECTIVE JULY 23, 2012 THE $12.50 OVERDRAFT PROTECTION TRANSFER FEE WILL NO LONGER BE WAIVED WHEN A LIVE SOLID SAVINGS OR GET STARTED SAVINGS ACCOUNT IS USED AS THE SOURCE OF OVERDRAFT PROTECTION." This over draft protection simply transfers the necessary amount from a savings account to a checking account if the account gets overdrawn. We're calling for an end to ridiculious fees just because they can charge them. Why does it cost $12.50 to make the same kind of transfer internally I could make myself on a computer for free? $12.50 to move my money from one account to another?

If Big corporations are being considered as people, then they need to pay taxes just like people do - at least 15%!

Tell Idaho Public Utilities Commission to say no to the proposed rate increases by Idaho Power and Rocky Mountain Power.

How about avoiding vacationing in stand your ground states?

Justice Thomas and Scalia have been blatent in their acceptance of Koch brothers (and others) "speaking fees" and and other forms of monetary "gifts". Justice Thomas's wife gets regular monetary contributions from these groups. The Citizens United disastrous decision is a direct response to to the influence purchasing. The problem is that this subtle form of bribery is aginst the law and needs to be investigated.

A former WalMart executive described how Wal-Mart de Mexico had orchestrated a campaign of bribery to win market dominance. In its rush to build stores, he said, the company had paid bribes to obtain permits in virtually every corner of the country. WalMart's leaders shut down an investigation. Under fire from labor critics, worried about press leaks and facing a sagging stock price, Wal-Mart’s leaders recognized that the allegations could have devastating consequences, documents and interviews show.

The influence of big corporate money in politics is undermining our democracy. The solution we want to see is a constitutional amendment saying that money isn't speech and corporations aren't people. I'm especially concerned because my two kids will be going to public school soon, and tax breaks for the 1% are cutting off resources for our public schools. The only way that will ever really change is with campaign finance reform, starting with overturning Citizens United.
