• Florida State Legislature: Pass ONLINE Voter Registration Immediately
    Democracy means that people vote and participate. Registration can be easily facilitated by providing online registration to Floridians. When I received my driver's license I was able to register to vote. Online registration is equally simple and will increase voter participation.

  • No More Tax Breaks During Times of Armed Conflicts
    When congress declared war on Iraq and Afghanistan it also gave tax breaks to stimulate the economy. Therefore, the U.S. went Trillions of dollars in debt in order to pay for those wars. If our lawmakers know that they are barred from giving tax breaks, during armed conflicts, they may rethink going into wars of choice.

  • Run Bonk Run!
    Aloha! The same rich folks and corporations have been calling the shots in Honolulu for far too long. It's time for a candidate that is unbought and unbossed to run for Honolulu Mayor. Someone who doesn't just say that they care, but actually does. Someone who has been in politics of all kinds , including elected office, for over 40 years and has never taken a dime from corporations. Not many people can say that. Someone who was Chair of the Hawaii County Council. Someone who puts people first, stands for open government, and has a long track record of working for a just and sustainable society. A Green. Someone who has never given up. She just keeps changing strategies and searching for new ways to make a positive difference. If you want REAL change, and not just smoke and mirrors, and tinkering on the edges while unmet problems continue to worsen, then *please* ask Keiko Bonk to run for Mayor. Or we can continue to expend lots of time, energy, and resources to play defense while special interests dump tons of money into the same old politicians - winning some battles, but losing many more in the long run. We really do need our best candidate to run if we’re going to win the race for Honolulu Mayor in 2016. Getting Keiko Bonk to run is our best chance to get a truly progressive mayor, and to put support for working families and the middle class at the top of the City and County of Honolulu agenda. I hope you’ll join me in saying #RunBonkRun Thanks! Frank DeGiacomo

  • Stop Chris Christie's corporate giveaways!
    Over the last 5 years Governor Christie's Economic Development Authority has given $5.4 BILLION to the wealthiest and most politically connected .01 percent of New Jersey corporations – at a cost to our underfunded schools, crumbling roads and bridges, the state pension fund and struggling property taxpayers. Enough! J.P. Morgan. Lockheed Martin. Prudential. Panasonic. Citibank – all of them have received tens of millions in public dollars from Chris Christie. In exchange for tax cuts, they are supposedly creating jobs. But we have no idea whether they are actually doing so, because Chris Christie has never even bothered to ask them, despite being required to by law. In many cases we know for a fact that corporations just moved jobs from town to town. The worst, like Citibank and Campbell’s Soup, took the tax breaks and laid people off anyway. Here’s the worst part: every dollar doled out to Prudential is a dollar that can’t be spent fixing a bridge, paying a schoolteacher, or making college more affordable. While giving out billions in subsidies with one hand, Governor Christie has cut property tax credits for middle-class families and the Earned Income Tax Credit for people struggling on the brink with the other. These reckless subsidies have skewed our state budgets out of balance and put the interests of NJ’s richest residents and corporations ahead of the rest. Enough is enough.

  • Overturn Reynolds v. Sims
    A basket of Supreme Court opinions, culminating in Reynolds v. Sims diluted the representation in rural counties in thirty states in 1964. Up until that decision, California, and many other states, had roughly one state senator for each county. This was consistent with the Connecticut Compromise as implemented in Article I, Sections 2 and 3 of the US Constitution where the House of Representatives is determined by population and the Senate is comprised of two individuals from each state ensuring small or less populous states have an equal footing in Congress. The Warren Court in 1964 invalidated this form of government for thirty states by manufacturing the doctrine of “one man, one vote” from the 14th Amendment which used population as the sole arbiter of representation in both houses of the state legislature.

  • I Support Honest Elections Seattle to Fight Citizens United!
    Initiative-122, Honest Elections Seattle, will amplify the voices of ordinary people and protect Seattle’s government and elections from the corrupting influence of big money. It would implement strong contribution limits and total spending caps for city elections. Honest Elections Seattle also features an innovative public financing system for all city offices – including mayor, city attorney, and at-large and district city council people to restore the power of small donors in elections. Together, these reforms will limit the corrosive impacts of big money in politics and ensure our elections aren’t controlled by a narrow set of wealthy people. You can read the full text of the initiative here: http://fusewashington.org/blog/Honest%20Elections%20Seattle%20Petition%202015.pdf Join us and let’s work together to ensure honest, accountable, and transparent elections in the city of Seattle.
