For years we have seen corporate interests dominate our nations economy. Elected officials have even signed a pledge of allegiance to anti tax zealot Grover Norquist instead to our country. Signing a pledge of integrity would show the nation who is working for them and who is a slave to Corporate America

In order to better fund drug treatment and prevention, undermine illegal markets, and keep our children and families safe, Rhode Island needs sensible marijuana regulation. It's time to end the failed policy of marijuana prohibition and establish a controlled regulatory framework that will boost Rhode Island's economy, take control away from criminals, and prevent youth access.

All PERS jobs with salaries at $250,000 and over should not be part of this pension system. If the taxpayers are paying you that can of income, you can surely save for your own retirement and help save PERS for the underpaid employees, such as police, firefighters and teachers.

Why is SignOn so Awesome

Women are now officially authorized to serve in the military's combat zones. This action nullifies the argument made by opponents of the ERA, namely, that passing the ERA, would subject women to combat action.My daughters, sisters,I and this nation's women demand to be acknowledged as having equal rights to men under federal law.

I want to remove all assault weapons from everyone, except the military and police. It is not right that innocent children be killed because someone wants to be macho.

The only purpose for assault weapons are to kill the enemy on the battlefield of war. I ask that you protect our citizens from these weapons of destruction.

Most workers in Florida are not covered by disability insurance. Therefore, when they are unable to work due to illness or injury, most will not get paid. The State of California and perhaps others, have a system call State Disability Insurance. It is an entirely employee funded system where they contribute a small percentage of their gross income and if and when illness or injury occurs they receive a percentage of their regular weekly income while they are unable to work. I think its time Florida has such a plan to protect the workers. This is zero cost to the employer and is entirely employee paid. Many thanks.

The first 100 days of the second Obama Administration is moment when we begin to judge President Obama’s legacy. This as his last chance to ensure a legacy of justice for the millions of homeowners, taxpayers and retirees whose homes, savings, and pensions were stolen by Wall Street bankers. On Martin Luther King, Jr Day, when President Obama said, “Our country cannot succeed when a shrinking few do very well and a growing many barely make it”, we took him at his word. That’s why today, along with allies like the Campaign for a Fair Settlement, we are launching the “100 Days to Fix What Wall Street Broke” campaign. We cannot address the growing many barely able to make it if we do not address the mess Wall Street bankers have left us. While it’s always easy to beat up on Congress, the President and his Administration can take strong and effective actions to achieve these goals without any action at all by Congress. All it requires is the courage and determination to stand up to Wall Street. So that’s what we’re demanding: bold action. The Administration must use every available legal, enforcement, and market tool available to keep the President’s past promises and hold Wall Street accountable. President Obama’s legacy will rest on how future generations perceive his ability to deal with the core cause of the economic wreckage of the past four years: reckless practices by Wall Street bankers emboldened by lax regulation, poor oversight, and their outsized influence in the halls of Congress. Our 100 Days Campaign gives him the opportunity to live up to his best intentions and past pledges.

Hawaii's legislature should be unicameral. The quality of the laws passed by our present bicameral legislature leaves much to be desired, a single house can do no worse, with minimum of inane posturing and speech making. Also, there should be term limits and elimination of early retirement, by having legislators meet the same requirements of state civil servants.

We need criminal prosecution of the Wall Street banking executives who brought about the economic damage we're still going through. Many insiders and whistle-blowers have provided clear evidence of fraud, and yet the people responsible have gotten off without any significant punishment, and continue to receive outrageous raises and bonuses. Enormous amounts of taxpayer money are being used to monitor and store our personal emails, phone calls and travel records in order to keep us safe from terrorists, but the bankers did more damage to our country than any terrorists ever did. Our government uses our money to monitor us like criminals in the name of protecting us. Why don't they go after the bankers who actually caused so much harm to us?
