• Prosecute Big Banks--Enforce Riegle-Neal
    Section 101, Part 2 of The Riegle-Neal Act of 1994 states no bank merger or acquisition or new branch bank may be approved if a bank "would control, more than 10 percent of the total amount of deposits of insured depository instituions in the United States." Three banks have been in violation of this since the Bush Administration. Wells Fargo, J.P. Morgan and Bank of America--control close to 40% of the money in this country. The top five banks control 96% of the derivatives market. According to the New York Times the six largest banks now have assets amounting to 63 percent of GDP.

  • Ban War Profiteering
    We need a constitutional amendment to ban U.S. manufacturers from making a profit on weapons of war. It is important to remove this incentive from weapons manufacturers to discourage them from hiring lobbyists that entice our representatives to perpetuate wars. Our young men and women's lives are sacrificed in the name of profits. Congress needs to rely on other means to resolve our differences with other countries.

  • Limiting CEO pay of non-for-profit corporations
    CEO's of non profits should not make more than 4x the average salary of their workforce. This is light of their taking of public monies to fund their organizations. This includes hospitals and nursing homes who use medicaid as one of their funding sources. It's not fair that they will cut people in their organization to keep their own overblown salaries.

  • Boycott the news media
    The news media has become so biased in not only how they slant news but also the news they choose to report. For example, the report very little about the Occupy Wallstreet movement. If we stop watching the news on TV and buying newspapers they will lose their advertisers.

  • Restrict and Control Political Action Groups and Lobbyists
    PACs and Lobbyists run this country more than what is desirable in a democracy. There should be a very small allowance for Corporate donations and PACs to politicians. Lobbyists should only be allowed to contact politicians in plenary sessions.
