  • Time to Shut Down Fusion Centers!
    Fusion Centers bring together federal, state and local police, the military and the private sector to share information about terrorist “threats.” But instead of fighting terrorism, they are harassing, spying on, and criminalizing people because they are actively working for a better, more just world. Whether you are advocating for safer communities, a cleaner environment, or a more accountable government, YOU are in the sights of a domestic security system that views YOUR activism as a potential terrorist threat. Join us in calling on Congress to shut down Fusion Centers. Fusion Centers are routinely violating basic privacy and free speech rights of Americans: The Oklahoma Fusion Center partnered with the Keystone XL pipeline company TransCanada to profile anti-pipeline activists as terror threats. These peaceful students, ranch owners, and indigenous people who engaged in non-violent protest to defend their homes are now listed in government databases as terror threats! In Boston, and around the country, Fusion Centers monitored the Occupy movement, keeping tabs on dangerous activities like “a food drive and ‘yoga, faith & spirituality’ classes.” The Washington state Fusion Center partnered with the Army to infiltrate a local peace group and harass members when they tried to attend protests, and distributed “domestic terrorist” dossiers about some of the activists. In Virginia, a Fusion Center Terror Threat Assessment warns that the state has Universities, which are “recognized as a radicalization node for almost every type of extremist group,” it further warns of a Girl Scout Troop conducting a voter registration drive, as well as the more classic “extremists” like Greenpeace and local environmental groups. A Missouri Fusion Center had to retract its Threat report after warning local police to beware of cars bearing Ron Paul for President bumper stickers. Even a bi-partisan Senate investigation found that Fusion Centers produce “shoddy” intelligence and endanger civil liberties and privacy. The investigation also found that no one knows how much money we’ve poured into them. Bottomline: it’s time to shut Fusion Centers down.

  • No Legislation Without Participation
    I have been a U.S. citizen since birth, a voter for 40 years and a taxpayer for 43 years. I cannot bear the thought that my tax dollars are being squandered or held for political ransom. Our country is falling apart and each of us must demand accountability. Thank you for your consideration.

  • "LET'S TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK"
    Join me in a CLASS ACTION Law Suit against Rep. John Boehner for squandering our tax dollars for political gain [It's FREE]. Rep. Boehner has COST us U.S. taxpayers and our country's economy over 6.6 TRILLION (yeah, spelled with a T!!] dollars in the past four years! Rep. Boehner, as well as Senator McConnell, promised on National TV in 2010/2011 that their Republican Party would do everything within their power to cause the Obama Administration (America) to FAIL. In keeping this promise, the Boehner-led Congress has been the most obstructionist, least productive of any Congress in the history of the United States. The blatant waste of taxpayer's money to repeal an existing law [Obamacare] some FIFTY (50) odd times; the constant waste of tax dollars by appointing special committees and investigators to go off on politically motivated "witch hunts" that never once proved fruitful, has prohibited the Congress of the United States from conducting necessary business for the people of this Country, and now a FRIVOLOUS law suit against the President at further cost to the taxpayers. The U.S. Constitution guarantees us taxpayers the RIGHT to have responsible, prudent, ethical and unbiased representation with fiduciary responsibility. If you, like so many more of us, have HAD ENOUGH . . . SIGN your name!! YOU can make a difference!! ALSO check out our other two sites: http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/let-s-take-our-country-back and youtube: http:/youtu.be/dMUh-a5Lq9m SIGN and then post these URLs on your facebook page and on every social media site you visit. Tell everyone you know about this and urge them to sign and do likewise!! Email every one of your contacts & ask them to FORWARD it on!!! We have almost enough signatures to get the news media to cover this . . . . THAT will really kick it off!! Visit the youtube site; if enough people click on it . . . it will go viral and that would get us over half the Country!!

  • TERM LIMITS - CONGRESS AND SUPREME COURT
    Given the current climate in congress and recent rulings by the supreme court - it has become apparent that term limits are required in order to alleviate corruption in all branches of government. The executive branch has term limits for the president - it would then only make sense that the legislative and judicial branches should, too. Then, and only then, would real people, who work real jobs, have a real say in how this country moves forward. Otherwise, we will continue to hand it over to corporate interests. The choice is yours.

  • Support the American Anti-Corruption Act
    Reduce Corruption -> Restore Democracy. Congress has been corrupted by big money. Our elected officials primarily represent special interests instead of We The People. From the tax code to education, climate change to the national debt — they'll never fix anything that matters to us until we end the legalized corruption and make them represent us. The American Anti-Corruption Act: Prevents members of Congress from raising money from the interest they regulate; Puts tough limits on unregulated Super PACs so they have to play by the rules; Mandates full transparency so we know who works for who; And gives voters a $100 Tax Rebate that they can contribute to the candidate and party of their choice.
