• Higher Education
    I have had personal experience with the issue of the expense of higher education. My children have had college loans that seem never ending and they are soon going to have their own children with theses problems.

  • Governor Quinn: stop the butchering of Chicago kids.
    Many kids die in South Side of Chicago every day. Even though Chicago has strict gun safety laws, guns come in from neigbouring towns and cities. We need to stop this carnage by having uniform gun safety laws in the whole state just like New York.

  • Stop Chem-Trails
    The US Military, in an attempt to "control the weather", is spraying deadly chemicals into the atmosphere. These chemicals affect me as well as others with Multiple Chemical Sensitivities and Environmental Illness. This spraying also affects crops and makes it a challenge for "organic growers" to maintain chemical free produce. Times of sunny, clear days when spraying occurs can result in me having to use a walker to get around; time spent hooked up to my O2 machine; and time confined to bed. We deserve clean air.

  • Save resources - starting with computers
    We are pulling resources from the earth in a non-sustainable way. As software is constantly being upgraded, older printers, computers and more are no longer supported and often replaced and discarded. We need more backward compatibility, upgradability and the ability to repair rather than discard.

  • A New Progressive Democratic Party
    The entire country is affected by too many cowardly and/or "Republican Lite" Democratic leaders in congress. We need a new party that will support progressive Democrats and work against the others. Harry Reid's hypocritical failure to move forward on filibuster reform, along with a number of other Senate "Democrats", is all the evidence we need to demonstrate the need.

  • Fair Air

  • Get A Whiff Of This
    One state has already banned fragrances in public places because of how they affect people with Multiple Sensitivities and Environmental Illness. I should have the right to go to the doctor's office without having to go out and sit in a drafty hall to try and avoid another patient's "perfume". Perfume exposure, for me, led to 15 minutes of waves of sobbing followed by times of quiet. It is a challenge to lead my life bombarded by chemical others think make them "smell good".

  • One Person, One Vote
    Get rid of the electoral college. Stop gerrymandering. The present system of counting votes has resulted in candidates winning without the majority of the popular vote.

  • Tell Sen. McConnell: Return Amgen PAC and lobbyist donations
    Hunter Bates, a longtime aide to Sen. Mitch McConnell, donated $3,000 to McConnell’s campaign in December while he was on contract with pharmaceutical giant Amgen to lobby on “fiscal cliff issues,” according to recently released FEC reports. Soon after, Amgen received a $500 million dollar windfall in the fiscal cliff deal that was negotiated by Sen. McConnell. We are calling on Sen. McConnell to return all donations from Amgen and its lobbyists. We cannot let corporations win sweetheart deals with campaign donations.
