• Demand Congress Create Comprehensive Background Checks and Require Periodic Renewals of all Gun P...
    At a state or federal lever, permits should be required at a household level, not at the individual level. This can be accomplished by the creation of analytical model(s) used to rank households and individuals likelihood of being involved in gun violence in the future. It should be used for background checks for new gun permits at a household level (as opposed to individuals), and requirement for existing permit holders at a household level to be newly certified. The predictive model and score or range of likelihood should be a key factor for providing gun use and related permits.

  • Educated Souls, LLC Advocates to End Classroom Discrimination
    All 4 of my children have experienced extreme prejudice and racism in the various districts that they've attended over the past 17 years. The State of Arizona is rampant with teachers who blatantly discriminate against black students and the various administrative/districts do nothing to reprimand staff hence the problem continues. I have been unsuccessful in fighting this fight alone as I have fought for mine along with other students while being a Substitute Teacher but am terminated for my advocacy. Please help me help the youth to be treated fairly as the Constitution reads and they recite daily, Thank you!

  • Adjuncts Power
    We demand our fair share of the pie just like every other good and honest citizen of this great country. Adjuncts are the engines and backbones of every college and university across this country. So why are all adjuncts being subjected to this kind of exploitation, being treated as the lows of the lows and also being degraded to second-class citizens? I ask my fellow adjuncts, full-time colleagues, and all members of our civilized society to say enough is enough. We demand fair wages and decent working conditions. It’s time to make our voices heard.

  • No new tax per mile
    I Read on yahoo that the department of transportation wants to tax americans for every mile we drive. That is preposterous we can't afford to pay more taxes and it takes away freedom. It's socialism at its best . http://m.yahoo.com/w/ygo-frontpage/lp/story/us/2977215/coke.bp%3B_ylt=A2KL8wPDrPFQunAALSQp89w4%3B_ylu=X3oDMTFzNGZqbWI4BGNwb3MDMgRjc2VjA21vYmlsZS10ZARpbnRsA3VzBHBrZwNpZC0yOTc3MjE1BHBvcwMxBHNsawN0aHVtYg--?ref_w=frontdoors&view=today&.tsrc=samsungbm&.intl=US&.lang=en

  • The Debt Ceiling Must Go
    As Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) writes on The Hill's Congress Blog "Here is a stubbornly well-kept secret: the debt ceiling is arbitrary, doesn't affect the deficit, and serves no real function in keeping spending down. In addition, it has recently become a cudgel which extremist Republican legislators use to beat the rest of us into submitting to political blackmail." It is time to end this farce which has already resulted in the U.S. rating being downgraded unnecessarily in the previous negotiations. We need to deal with the real issue--job creation.

  • NRA and U.S. GOVERNMENT MAKE A DATE!
    1. Agreement by both parties, Vice-President Joseph Biden, Representatives of the US Government, more importantly the NRA to meet ASAP; effective IMMEDIATE HALT on all sales, barter of Assault and repeating high- and low-velocity weapons. 2. Further, agree to commit to coherent framework and adherence on compromise of legislation of weapons control. 3. To make this palatable to the NRA, and the GOP, there is room for COMPROMISE. This is clearly a system that is broken! Too many voices and suggestions that are unworkable. Before another tragic shooting occurs. The NRA does not want this anymore than anyone else.

  • The Public Option: Critical To Health Care
    A Public Option, granting every American the right to purchase an affordable and all-inclusive health care plan, will not only save thousands of lives, but will solve many of our economic problems. As a physician, I am acutely aware of the inability of our present for-profit system to ever provide quality, affordable health care. A choice must be given to the American people.

  • Reinstate all police officers fired for supporting the truth about Cannabis.
    Reinstate all officers who have been relieved of duty by their police forces for either publicly or privately supporting the decriminalization of Cannabis. The majority of the public now supports Cannabis legalization. End the irrational prohibition of Cannabis, and initiate rational legislation to prevent the unjust abuses currently taking place against those who support or advocate for its well-documented benefits. Peace officers have the right to support the scientific, industrial, medicinal and institutional benefits of Cannabis legalization.
