  • Label GMO Foods.
    People close to me have problems aggravated by certain GMO crops, but they can currently never know if these are in the food they eat. Once in the environment, genetic modifications spread and infect other crops, plants or animals by cross-breeding. Side effects are predictable but commonly ignored by industry. Public knowledge of the scope of the changes of the past two or three years, and of the harm already done, is very limited. This begins to address that knowledge gap.

  • Leave Sunday Parking Meter Enforcement Alone
    Air pollution caused by traffic congestion contributes to asthma attacks, especially for kids, increases the probability of cancer, increases the probability of heart disease, and increases the probability of premature death. The World Health Organization categorizes air pollution, including that from cars, as a carcinogen just like cigarette smoke. Parking meter enforcement on Sundays is proven to reduce traffic congestion because drivers are spending only 2 minutes circling, looking for parking instead of 4 minutes or more when Sunday meters were not enforced. See: http://sf.streetsblog.org/2014/04/01/reiskin-lets-keep-sunday-parking-meters-but-not-enforce-them/ http://sf.streetsblog.org/2014/01/16/mayor-lees-spineless-sunday-meter-reversal-bad-for-business-bad-for-sf/

  • The Jason and Philip Act
    In 2003 on December 27th my brother Jason "JJ" Jaco and uncle Philip "Butch" Mocalis, Jr. were killed instantly by a female truck driver who suffured with schizophrenia and had not been taking her medicine Haldol, she had a hallucination stating cars cut her off which bystanders and witnesses stated that there were no other vehicles around. The driver was only charged with two counts of manslaughter (A slap on the wrist) and had her license taken away for any driving jobs in California, so she moved to Nevada and got a driving job for a school bus full of kids. When someone gets their driving privileges taken away for any driving jobs it should be nation wide not just the state it happened in. This is not right too many people are losing their loved ones to truck drivers and not getting compensated for their loss. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, NO MORE!!!

  • FAA: Follow published procedures and stop shifting SFO aircraft noise over Brisbane!
    In the last 10 years, the number of SFO aircraft departures flying directly over Brisbane, California has increased by more than 220%. Every single flight that wakes us up early in the morning or late at night, or disrupts our workday, is the result of FAA controllers instructing pilots to turn their planes early instead of following published procedures. The FAA recently released an environmental assessment report in support of proposals to “optimize aircraft routes.” The residents of Brisbane are concerned that the FAA instructions to ‘cut the corner’ over our town will become the new standard procedure, and aircraft noise in our community will get much worse. We’re not asking the FAA to route planes over another community and create noise problems for someone else. We just want the FAA to follow the published procedures that were originally designed to minimize noise over ALL communities on this departure route. Please help us put pressure on the FAA to stop cutting corners and preserve the quality of life in our wonderful town!

  • Let's make the Louisiana State Book "A Confederacy of Dunces"
    John Kennedy Toole was a tragic figure of Louisiana culture, and his satirical novel is a testament to the pride and awe he had for his home state. Religion, while a major component of many peoples' lives in Louisiana, has become a divisive issue, with a particularly negative effect on people who are not associated with the majority religious practices of our state. We feel it is best to keep religion out of things like this, such as the idea of an official state book that represents the various individuals who make up the citizenry of Louisiana. Choosing a relatively modern literary masterpiece, not only widely praised by critics around the world, but with it's core roots firmly embedded in Louisiana, seems like a more fair and democratic choice.

  • Keep our traffic flowing!
    A traffic accident is a horrible event. Aside from the obvious, this creates a dangerous scenario for the everyday driver. Many passers-by are focused on the accident, and not on the road, compounding the problem, and possibly leading to additional collisions. "Rubber necking" also creates a traffic flow issue, and keeps everyone from getting where they need to be. Let's try implementing a time proven system started in the UK . Responders would erect a temporary fabric wall that blocks the accident from the view of the public. With nothing to look at, the traffic will flow normally, and drivers will remain alert. http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20120810121037/http://www.highways.gov.uk/business/26118.aspx

  • Mayor de Blasio & NYC Council: Stop Discriminatory Employment Credit Checks
    Gustavo Panesso is a New Yorker who was denied a job because of information in his credit report. He has decided to speak out against this unfair practice. Here is Gustavo’s story: “A few years ago, I received a job as a sales associate at an upscale national clothing retailer in Manhattan. I was on my way to orientation when a supervisor called to tell me the orientation was canceled because of a ‘problem' in my credit report. I was shocked because I’ve always paid my bills on time. It turned out that a credit card I co-signed for my sister many years before was in default; after being laid off from her job, my sister could no longer make payments. Ironically, this entry on my credit report ended up costing me several retail jobs – despite my many years of experience, positive references from past employers, and successful interviews. Credit reports say nothing about someone’s integrity, honesty or ability to perform a job. Employment credit checks have increased because the multi-billion dollar credit bureaus want to make huge profits from selling our credit information to an ever greater number of employers, lenders and businesses. Please join me and members of the NYC Coalition to Stop Credit Checks in Employment in calling on the Mayor of New York City and NYC Council to put an end to this harmful practice. For more information, and to watch short videos of me and other New Yorkers sharing our stories, visit www.creditcatch22.org."
