• Stop Taxpayer-funded ads by Medicare Advantage Plans
    Taxpayers pay extra to subsidize Medicare Advantage Plans compared to the cost of regular Medicare. Every fall, these plans fill our TVs and mailboxes with ads, and pay sales agents commissions to sign people up for their Advantage plan. The agents ask health questions to "guide people to the plan that is right for them" (my impression: guide sicker people to traditional Medicare.)

  • Demand Congress Take Action on Puerto Rico's Political Status
    Puerto Rico has been a colony of our country since 1898. Puertoricans are citizens of the U.S. by birth. It is high time to either grant Puerto Rico independence or do what is right and grant statehood to the island. During the November 6th elections, 54% of the population voted to end the present relationship with the US. Of that number, 61% voted for statehood.

  • New Orleans City Council: Stop Sewerage & Water Board Rate Hike
    The recent proposal to raise Sewer & Water rates 10% in New Orleans over a period of time is outrageous. What with rental increases, low wages & just high living expenses, it's hard enough to make ends meet. This is a poor state with over half living below the poverty level. We just can't afford this rate increase.

  • The Truth about BLM & Wild Horses in the West
    I have watched a documentary that gave clear evidence from persons affected in their careers with BLM and from those who advocate for the Wild Horses. It showed hard evidence (documents) of corruption within BLM as well their intent to systematically exterminate the wild horses throughout Nevada, Idaho & Wyoming for the purpose of "clearing the way"for BP Oil to install the Ruby pipeline in the near future. Those wild horse herds will obstruct BP's efforts as they will not be able to pass an EIS if horses are present. This is destruction of a national heritage, our Wild Horse Herd and we must stop BLM in their tracks.

  • Mayor Bob Filner: Make Poverty a Priority
    It's a tragedy that anyone in San Diego should live in poverty, especially those who work hard every day and still struggle to support themselves or a family. Our city government can do much to combat working poverty, with policies that focus on living wages, access to affordable healthcare and creating quality jobs for San Diego residents. When all working people can support themselves and have money in their pockets to spend at local businesses, the entire city will benefit and we’ll finally be on our way to rebuilding our local economy.

  • Level the Playing Field for US Manufacturing
    Leveling the playing field gives multi-national corporations less of a reason to manufacture overseas. 1) They will pay the same minimum wage as they do in the U.S. 2) They will follow the same Fair Labor Standards Act requirements. 3) They will follow the same OSHA regulations. 4) They will have the same environmental requirements

  • If a person is under 50 and bedridden
    My son is under 50 and it seems to make a huge difference in whether he will get care in order to walk again; it doesn't make sense when this is the time in his life that he needs to raise his young kids and give them a good life, providing for them and coaching them with basketball, taking them fishing and the like, he needs to stop being ignored by the system.
