  • Stop the Time Change
    Twice a year, we go through resetting all the clocks and re-adjusting our biology. This is a throw back to another time and is grossly inefficient and a waste of effort and money. The extra light in the evening seems to be popular, so just to pick something, let's just stay on DST.

  • OPPOSE (VOTE NO) HB125
    HB125 went from simplifying the paperwork created by HB87 in 2011, to a whole new bill. The current version of HB125 (LC 29 5571S) challenges international passports as valid IDs, blocks DACA recipients from obtaining Driver Licenses, takes Homestead Exemptions away from homeowners, and puts an unnecessary burden in contractors, subcontractors, subsubcontractors and business of Georgia by increasing the mandatory application of E-Verify and IMAGE programs. We urge the Georgia Senate and the Lieutenant Governor Casey Cagle TO OPPOSE (VOTE NO when applicable) HB125.

  • Cosponsor HR900 - Cancel The Sequester Cuts
    President Obama won re-election decisively in 2012. He ran on a simple budget platform of a balanced approach. It is not balanced to make the most vulnerable Americans pay, in the form of Sequester cuts, for decades of reckless financial policies crafted by Congress. 1. The Bush Administration gave the top 2% wealthiest Americans a “temporary” tax break in 2001. These tax breaks have cost ordinary citizens nearly 1.17 trillion dollars in lost revenue since then. 2. Under President Bush, Congress funded two wars without paying for them. Invading Iraq and Afghanistan cost taxpayers 3.7 trillion dollars and counting. 3. Bailing out the banks has cost upwards of 12.8 Trillion. 4. Allowing corporations to avoid paying any corporate income taxes has cost taxpayers 78.3 billion since 2008 alone. According to the Wall Street Journal 69% of all U.S. corporations pay nothing. These policies helped create the debt and the income inequality that plague this nation today. Individuals like Governor Mitt Romney now pay less percentage-wise in taxes than do their secretaries, and far less in taxes overall than they have ever paid historically. It is unfair, unsustainable and unpatriotic. America needs to invest in our children, our infrastructure and safeguard our social safety net to protect our elder citizens, people with disabilities and those living below the poverty line, many who are working multiple jobs. The deficit, as a % of GDP, has been going steadily down, under President Obama. The calls for austerity now are at best disingenuous. The Sequester cuts are designed to hurt the most vulnerable among us. To allow them to stand is morally reprehensible. If Government needs more money then restore the 1990 tax rates on the top 2%. Americans voted in favor of that. And a simple way to make social security solvent for 75 years would be to remove the cap on income subject to social security tax. Please do the patriotic thing and cosponsor HR900 and cancel the sequester cuts immediately and retroactively. 1: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/04/us/politics/poor-face-most-pain-as-automatic-budget-cuts-take-effect.html?pagewanted=all / http://www.motherjones.com/mojo/2013/02/budget-cuts-sequester-low-income-poor 2: http://costoftaxcuts.com/about/ 3: http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/06/29/us-usa-war-idUSTRE75S25320110629 4: http://www.pbs.org/wnet/need-to-know/economy/the-true-cost-of-the-bank-bailout/3309/ 5: http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2012/04/09/460519/major-corporations-no-taxes-four-year/?mobile=nc 6: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970203733504577026361246836488.html 7: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/08/14/income-inequality-is-at-a_n_259516.html 8:http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/31/business/31leonhardt.html?ex=1351569600&en=b1065bf4721795fa&ei=5124&partner=permalink&exprod=permalink / http://economix.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/05/31/are-taxes-in-the-u-s-high-or-low/ 9: http://www.bls.gov/opub/ted/2012/ted_20120405.htm 10: http://maddowblog.msnbc.com/_news/2012/11/21/15340295-the-fastest-deficit-reduction-in-generations?lite / http://www.nbcnews.com/id/26315908/ns/msnbc_tv-rachel_maddow_show/vp/50965800 5 min : 50 sec 11: http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2011/08/25/304387/bernie-sanders-introduces-bill-to-lift-the-payroll-tax-cap-ensuring-full-social-security-funding-for-nearly-75-years/

  • It's time to regulate cannabis!
    Mohandas Gandhi said "No prohibition has ever withstood the test of time." A long overdue break in the fever of reefer madness that has swept this county's political and law enforcement class is now underway. Besides Massachusetts becoming the 18th medical marijuana state and legalization in Colorado and Washington, there are regulation and/or decrim bills in four state houses and industrial hemp bills in half a dozen more. Nevada can no longer afford to waste money trying to enforce our way out of this problem, while turning a blind eye to the revenue potential and harm reduction that establishing a legal and regulated market will bring.The "cure" of prohibition is far worse than the "disease" of responsible adults choosing cannabis over other intoxicating substances. Our Constitution is in tatters because of the failed drug war. After 76 years of failed prohibition, it is time to try a better approach. Let's regulate cannabis for responsible adults, keep it out of the hands of kids and grow a whole new tax-paying industry in our state!

  • Stop Comed from raising rates to fund their mismanagement!
    Tell Comed to use the money they are paying our legislators to pay for their meter program i.e. smart grid. We bailed out the banks we've bailed out the insurance companies we've bailed out the auto industry, it needs to stop now! We are not made of money, I don't know about you? But I am tired of being the slop these hogs are feeding on at the trough.

  • Does Justice Exist For Marvin Williams In Lake County, Florida?
    Florida has a mandatory minimum for gun laws that demands that the accuser must serve a minimum of three years. According to the police report the accuser contacted Florida Highway Patrol to say the accused had waved a weapon at him. However, after reviewing the deposition collected from the accuser, the events surrounding this incident are too convoluted to take seriously, including issues surrounding the fact that the incident took place at 3pm on a Friday afternoon on the Florida Turnpike, with no car accidents or physical damage to speak of. This is just one of MANY discrepancies found in the depositions taken by the three officers on the scene and the accuser. Another example is the incident surrounding identification of the weapon whereas the accuser initially described one type of weapon, but after the FHP officers showed the accuser the alleged weapon the description changed.
