The 1% think they own America, AND THAT WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. Let's show them the power of the 99%! Starting in January let's pledge to BOYCOTT 1 Bank (BankAmerica); 1 Airline (USAirways); 1 Retailer (Walmart); 1Drugstore (Walgreens); 1 Political Party (Republican); until the tax inequities are resolved (new taxes on the 1%) and cuts to education, the environment, and job creation bills are restored.

Reducing wages and benefits for Government Officials in Congress and the Senate. This would help the deficit, as well as, make it clear to these 'government officials' WE PAY THEIR WAY ! And since they are really not doing the jobs we hired them for....they do not deserve the benefits they're receiving. Let's put government officials on the same level as the people they are SUPPOSED to be representing...NO 'extra benefits' ..no, excused from paying their kid's Student loans, NO Health Benefits unless THEY'RE paying for them,,,especially, AFTER they are 'out of office' ... Then we'll see how much of the 1% THEY want to represent !

Let Georgia's Republican Congressmen know that we won't forget their Christmas tax hike. When they refuse to compromise, working Georgians will pay the price. Demand immediate action in January to stop the Boehner Tax on your paycheck.

We want our government to know that us hardworking , tax paying citizens, are fed up with paying for people to use our money for supporting thier drug habits. We have to go to jobs where we are not allowed to use drugs. Some of us are even tested ourselves. This country is in extream debt. If drug users were not recieving payments to use then im sure that would save billions of dollars a year that could be used for better things like teachers for our schools,social security,medicare, and maybe funding drug programs where the drug abusers could go to get clean and sober.

THE PLAN: THE US GOVERNMENT OFFER EVERY US CITZEN A 30 YEAR MORTGAGE AT 1% FIXED INTEREST. This is a government loan program, not an increase in government spending. The government bailout of the financial industry had a tremendous impact on business but the trickle down effect has not worked. The RE-MORTGAGE AMERICAN HOMES PROGRAM will add a trickle-up for the 99% and will add economic expansion and generate increased revenues for federal and local government, AND CREATE JOBS.

This would allow the purchase of a foreclosed property for primary residence with 401K funds without penalties or taxes. This will put money back into local economies, provide much needed jobs and stabilize neighborhoods.

Anyone who invests in the Stock Market and loses money, gets to claim that money off their Taxes, and not just for the year in which they lost money but can spread it over multiple years to reduce their Income Taxes, additionally they pay a very small tax on Capital Gains for those stocks which actually make them money and additional Tax Breaks for holding Stocks for a period of time. It's time to end these Perks for the Wealthy. Why should average American's Taxes be used to cover the losses of those who choose to play the Stock Market and why shouldn't they pay their full Taxes on their Winnings? It's time to end these policies which have virtually no benefit for the Average American Tax Payer and greatly benefit the Wealthy who by and large do not work but only play the Markets to make their money. Enough is enough, everyone needs to pay their Taxes.

An automatic increase in federal taxes across the board of 3-4% when our country goes to war. Military personnel and their families would be exempt. This would engage the public by requiring at least some sacrifice of everyone.

We must save the middle class and the poor. Taking back Congress is the only way. We must educate the public to GET OUT AND VOTE to make this possible.

All souvenirs in National Parks (and State Parks) need to be made in America. This is not just about jobs but also about taking pride in representing our country's beauty, heritage and craftsmanship.

On 60 Minutes (Dec 18) thousands of homes are being abandoned by owners who can no longer afford the mortgage payments. The bank takes possession and let the houses rot to the point they are no longer marketable. This is due to: 1. banks will not keep the property in in marketable condition (it costs money to do that) and 2. Scavengers break into the abandoned homes and take anything of value including copper wiring, plumbing fixtures, appliances, cabinetry, even aluminum siding. It seems to me that the banks, rather than causing folks to abandon their homes due to high mortgage rates, should refinance at the current market value to lower the payments so the folks can stay in their homes. This results in banks taking a lost in the equity, but when a home is abandoned and not cared for, the banks loses 100% of their loaned amount instead of 50 %. Homes in Ohio are being demolished, and banks are losing the entire cost. It was banks that caused the problem in the first place - even after TARP and another 7.7 trillion dollars loaned out to Wall Street/Banks at 0.01% interest.

CA legalized medical marijuana and put hundreds of people to work, as well as raising huge revenues to address our multi-billion budget shortfall. Federal agents swooped down and raided dispensaries recently -- leaving patients stranded without much-needed relief from a long list of problems. President Obama had indicated he would have the Feds leave States alone on this issue.
