• Rep. Steve King: We want our $70 back!
    We pay Steve King $174,000 a year to represent the 5th District of Iowa in Congress--that’s over $70 an hour. Yet, he recently tweeted, “We are debating the Stop Online Piracy Act and Shiela Jackson has so bored me that I'm killing time by surfing the Internet.” This tweet is a disgrace to the dignity of the office--if an employee of a private business tweeted that he was killing time on the company clock, that person would be fired.

  • United States Department of Peace
    So many of our tax dollars go towards military spending, The Dept. of Defense, towards Education, The Dept. of Education, etc.; I would like to see some of my taxes go towards a Dept. of Peace. There are so many NGO's working for peace – breaking the cycle of domestic violence, aiding battered women, etc. I would like Congress to create a government agency dedicated to fostering peace in this country.

  • Oneida County Board: Increase Citizen Involvement, Change your Meeting Times
    Currently the Oneida County (WI) Board and its subcommittees meet during the daytime, sometimes as early as 9:30 a.m. and only on workdays. This not only severely restricts the opportunity for input but also limits or even eliminates the opportunity to hear directly from our elected leaders. Further, it limits opportunities for those who wish to run for County Board positions. Consequently the voice of the citizen is limited strictly to those available during daytime hours--those who happen to be retired, semi-retired, or who have flexible hours.

  • America: Fix Congress!
    No matter the political affiliations, the American people are sick of the inequitable political system that exists today. The fix is simple: Control the Lobby industry, which robs the American people of a responsive government. End the filibuster, a tactic that is useless to the American people. Finally, allow simple majority rule in congress and let's get to work on the issues at hand!

  • End unregulated corporate giving in politics
    We have too much money in politics already but at least you can usually tell where it came from. I believe the Supreme Court decision is ludicrous. I believe it has NO history outside of the Courts. They legislated and that's wrong.
