  • Removal of District Attorney William Fitzpatrick
    The current public disagreement with the Chief of Police for the City of Syracuse is behavior most commonly found in a two year old. The 'tit for tat' related to charges against their respective adult children's behavior would be acceptable in a sandbox- but not played out in the Post Standard. These actions from an elected official are just another reason why term limits should be in place. The DA's recent re-election was unapposed. Was his effectiveness in the past the basis that people voted for his re-election or was it apathy and lack of opposition? Limiting re-election to three terms will remove the attitude of entitlement and return the focus of the elected official(s) to their elected responsibilities- not personal pettiness.

  • Remove The Tax Exemption from Churches and Religious Organizations Involved in Politics!
    I'm tired of Churches and Religious Organizations making political statements and working their agendas in the political realm. There is supposed to be "Separation of Church and State" in the USA and yet the Mormon Church was very instrumental in defeating the Marriage Equality movement in California. There are many more examples of this violation by other religious bodies and it's time they lost their Tax Exemption!!

  • HUD: Stop raising rents on active Leases.
    Seniors and folks with Disabilities have had their rents increased even though some of us have active leases for one year. Some of us living in a Senior HUD covered facility have had their rents raised even though some of us have an active lease for one year. Most active leases in the Public markets do not allow rent increases while the lease is in effect. HUD does not follow this option. Some of our Senior and disabled residents have a difficult time with this raise. I'm asking for HUD to review this raise and stop rent increases while active leases are in effect.

  • Corporate and individual tax reform and balancing the budget
    There should be an overhaul of the corporate and individual tax structures. I am proposing that individual tax reform should have three rates. 10% for people making $50,000 or less per year. 18% for people making $50,001-$250,000. And 25% for monies greater than 250,001. There should be zero deductions. There should be no corporate welfare. The rate of taxation should be 20% on all revenue. If a bill is presented giving a tax break to a Corporation the author or authors should be removed from Congress. Regarding balancing the budget – there should be a mandatory 8% reduction in each year until balanced with a continuing reduction until the national debt is paid off. If more monies are spent and the deficit continues revenues should be adjusted each year. And we are forced into another war – war bonds should be used to pay for that conflict.

  • Public financing of elections
    Corporate power and wealthy individuals control the federal government through paid lobbyists. We all know this and the only way to return power to the electorate is through public financing alone.

  • Line item veto for the president
    There is way too much "pork" attached to bills for someone's special interest and we the people end up footing the cost. The president is the closest to the people and therefore the most responsive (polls, headlines, media, internet) which would make the voice of "WE THE PEOPLE" more heard. It would stop most of the illegitimate "add ons" which cause a great deal of the fiscal problems.

  • election ballots
    Choices on the presidential ballot. Normally there is a choice between two candidates - maybe three if there s an independent. There should be a 'none of the above' choice so those who cannot in good conscience vote for any of the listed candidates could still vote and have their vote counted.
