• Virginia: Tell Your Senators to Pass the Constitutional Amendment Overturning the Democracy-Killi...
    Corporations are not people. Writing a check is not speech. And the Founding Fathers never intended the First Amendment to permit the ultra-wealthy and giant corporations to take over our elections. This summer, the Senate will vote on a constitutional amendment to overturn 'Citizens United' and 'McCutcheon' -- the overreaching Supreme Court rulings that allow billionaires and Big Business to spend virtually as much money as they want, much of it undisclosed, trying to install candidates of their choosing in office. With these disastrous rulings, the Supreme Court shredded long-standing, commonsense policies that defend our democratic ideals from a plutocratic invasion. And it made a mockery of First Amendment protections that were meant for actual, everyday Americans. The only way we can preserve our democracy and prevent turning the First Amendment upside down is by passing a constitutional amendment that restores the ability of We the People to do something about the problem of money in politics. Make sure your senators know that you are counting on them to take a stand for democracy when they vote this summer.

  • Accessibility: Check your ability before you get to the door
    I have a chronic disability. I still work and I need access to doors and ramps and seating for the disabled and elderly because I am in pain and cannot sit or stand for long. The non-disabled and non-elderly are seeing the convenience of accessibility for the disabled and elderly and are sitting in priority seating, using disabled doors, ramps and disabled parking spaces, when they do not need them. In a shopping center in Chicago there are five doors and only one door is accessible for the disabled. Based on general traffic lane usage, if I am walking and the disabled door is on my left I have to cross over into on-coming pedestrian traffic and traffic does not stop. I either have to wait for approximately 20 non-disabled, non-elderly people to pass before someone stops and lets me pass or I can walk into them…I have done both…Companies and transit will only do what is minimally required by the ADA; are they following or “quoting” federal law?...accessibility is intended for those who need assistance. support: "CHECK YOUR ABILITY BEFORE YOU GET TO THE DOOR !!!"

  • ALL Counties in the State of Florida to have MANDATORY Spay and Neuter
    Too many animals are dying needlessly in Florida shelters and Government facilities. This can be eradicated with the order of Mandatory spay and neuter of all pets. Breeders must be registered, have a license and pay a fee, license fee shall be re-invested in the spay and neuter program for people to get their animals altered. Working dogs would also be exempt. Back yard breeding has to end.

  • Murals in Downtown Mesa's Arts and Culture District
    Art Installations are an integral part of a growing city's infrastructure. They create wonder, excitement and foster a better sense of community. Downtown Mesa is a growing hub of arts and culture, however, the streetscapes on Main Street and surrounding areas do not portray the direction in which the district is moving. As of right now, the permitting process for a mural in Mesa is very expensive with long wait times for approval. We would like to simplify this process with a smaller processing fee to allow for more creative art expression in the Arts and Culture District, specifically Main Street and the blocks around it.

  • Make Prison Healthcare a part of Public Safety
    Too many people are bringing their medical conditions and infectious diseases back to their communities once they are released from prisons. Government has an obligation and legal responsibility to reduce such spread of infectious diseases and other medical conditions that impact community healthcare costs and more important the lives of those infected by family members, friends, or neighbors who are exposed to such risks. Better medical care and a comprehensive community public health policy will reduce risks to our children and family members.
