• Airports and Transportation
    Please ask the officials of the Greater Los Angles County and Los Angeles representatives to excel and speed up building new rail system directly To/From major Los Angles County airports, especially LAX. Also provide ONE new car rental location for all car rental companies, which is similar in other U.S major cities. Los Angeles is so behind in this type of infrastructure. Both infrastructures will reduce pollution, congestions, and provide more local jobs.

  • Stop Shell from drilling in Arctic
    Shell Oil has had an accident already in the Arctic in their drilling of test wells. Seventeen crew members were rescued, but the fate of endangered animals is not so clear. What happened to Pres. Obama's "promise" to keep another "BP" from happening? The US is one of the major exporters of oil. Do we need to ruin all our pristine areas and kill endangered species for the sake of greed?

  • Restructure The Criminal system?
    Our currently criminal system is BROKEN!!! It costs us upto $50,000 to keep a criminal incarsirated while the maximum Social Security payment is $30,156. Congress is attacking Social Security to people who payed into the system all their lives expecting to get back what they deserve while criminals who have broken laws are getting almost twice as much.

  • Change Flight Patterns Away From Ganesha Hills
    Loud, disruptive air traffic noise, coming from Brackett Airport affects our quality of life in the residential Ganesha Hills area of Pomona, CA. Planes and helicopters often from flight schools, continually loop over our homes for hours most days each week. During events, loud planes with banners fly over head for hours at a time. It is a challenge to be able to enjoy our homes, patios and yards. We want the flight pattern changed away from our homes for the safety and well being of our citizens.

  • Reduce the cost of Obamacare
    Our government is looking to find major areas for reducing expenditures. Our percapita healthcare costs are more than twice the cost of the currently most expensive country yet we don't enjoy better health. We all know Obamacare was written by industry lobbyists that sought to maintain the income of Insurance companies, doctors, insurance companies, pharmaceuticals, hospitals, etc.

  • Indict Republicans who are threatening to make the US insolvent if they don't get their way as TR...
    John McCain and a couple of other congressmen have gone on record through reliable sources as planning on driving the United States of America to INSOLVENCY if they do not get their political desires. This is a complete mis-use of their power, and also TREASON! They need to be indicted by the Justice Department to send a clear message that this sort of conspiracy will not be tolerated in the Land of the Free!!

  • Change the drinking age back to 18
    The legal drinking age at 21 has increased pregaming by underage drinkers. When pregaming (drinking before going out so they don't have to show ID) the risk of : drunk driving increases, alcohol poisoning increases, risky behavior increases. When the legal age was 18 it was appropriate. At 18 kids went away to college, entered the service and went out on their own. College students (and anyone else for that matter) will drink no matter what, especially when they are away from home. By making it legal, these kids won't have to resort to drinking as much as they can before they go out to avoid using phoney ID's.

  • CREATING JOBS WITH PAID TRAINING FOR CHRONICALLY UNEMPLOYED OVER 50
    I have been unemployed since November 2007 and have been unsuccessful in find work in my field of banking. I have been discriminated against because of my age, credit and race. It is hard to proove, but I know it exist. there needs to be some training for the chronically unemployed who were laid off because of no fault of their own. Also there needs to be a 5th unemployment extension for those chronically unemployed over 50 years of age. I am presently not receiving any benefits and my benefits have been exhausted.

  • Healthy New York: Don't Drop Mental Health Coverage!
    New York State's insurance plan for low-income people and families without health care benefits from their place of employment is planning to suspend Mental Health benefits, including virtually all psychiatric prescription medications, beginning February 4. In the wake of the tragic shooting in Newtown, CT. this seems a very short-sighted and preposterous act. Psychiatric illness can affect all of us, not just the patient.

  • March on Washington
    Americans will have to be witness to another political stalemate in March regarding debt limit. Diverse, vital issues are being ignored by our elected officials. Could be time to organize a march on Washington to bring attention to issues and to illustrate citizen frustration.
