  • FIRE ALL NON-WORKING MEMBERS OF CONCGRESS
    We the people hired congress to make laws that are in our best interest. This congress continues to stall and do nothing about very important issues. There are millions of people who are being adversely affected by their refusal to do their jobs. If they are unwilling or incapable, we should remove any and all members of congress not performing their duties

  • Term limits necessary for congress
    The US Congress is at a standstill constantly and it is clear what the issue is: too many people are putting their party ahead of what is best for the country. Term limits should be enacted to keep Congressman and Senators from getting too cozy with those who fund their re-election campaigns.

  • Count Every Vote in New York
    The race for State Senate between Democrat Cecilia Tkaczyk and Republican George Amedore has come down to just a few dozen votes. A New York State judge certified the Republican as the winner, even though there are hundreds of ballots left that still haven't been counted, including ours! By failing to count our votes, we have been disenfranchised from local, state and federal races. As Election Inspectors, we have been trained to resolve technical problems to ensure that every voter has the opportunity to vote. It is outrageous that, because of improper guidance from the Board of Elections, our votes haven't been counted. In a democracy, every vote must be counted. And in the Tkaczyk-Amedore race, with the result so close, we can't know who really won the election until every voice is heard. The race is being appealed to the Appellate Division, 3rd Department, of the New York State Supreme Court, and the case will be heard Monday. They must count every vote!

  • IF the issue is gun safety, why not make it beneficial to buy a gun safe?
    With all the attention given to the tools used by spree killers recently and Sen Feinstein's bill that has ex post facto issues as she plans to introduce it (make things that are legally owned today illegal through no action of the owners beside 'owning' said item) why not attach one of the roots of this issue. The Oregon mall shooter stole the semi-automatic rifle that he used to kill two people (before being confronted by a person with a concealed carry permit and killed himself) was stolen from a friend who did not have it locked up. The firearms carried by the spree killer in Newtown, CT stole them from his mother who did not have them properly secured. A solution to this is to write into the tax code a tax exemption for any sales tax paid on a gun safe as well as a credit on the personal return for the total purchase value of the safe. This is just for personal safes in private homes.

  • Help the 99ers!!!
    I'm one of the approximately 5.5 million long-term unemployed "99ers," who have exhausted all our unemployment benefits, had our lifelines cut off but, through no fault of our own, have been unable to get a job. We need—and deserve—financial assistance now—as for us, the recession never ended and unemployment is still very high.

  • Citizen Action, In Response To Non-Action
    I would like to call for a National Day of Shame. It is now time for the 99% to stand up and show their disgust towards all of our elected government officials in Washington. A massive demonstration could be held on New Year's Day, at every Federal Post Office in the country. Also, I propose that all salaries paid FROM OUR TAXES, to our congress, be withheld until they do their job.
