To eliminate the lifetime special benefits to elected officials.

Please contact your local politicians and request a stricter gun control laws for our nations. How many more innocents have to die before we become responsible as a nation.

The Forrester Family is seeking relief from outdated and disproportionate immigration laws that have permanently banned Mr. Forrester from the United States for life, because of simple possession of marijuana. We believe that waivers should be available to spouses of U.S. citizens so that the past mistakes of the immigrant can be weighed against the hardship to the U.S. family if they are never allowed to come. Please sign our petition to Bring the Forrester Family Together. Our children need their father.

Ownership has privilege and the ownership of American media by 5 or 6 media monopolies has narrowly focused the attention of the TV and radio industry using our public airwaves on a small, thin population band of young white men between the ages of 18 and 25. Most of this media is right wing and attempts to have a more diverse political media have been reversed by large industry owners switching left or politically moderate radio talk stations into sports coverage only. At least four or five left wing talk stations on the West Coast have been switched to sports radio focusing on the 18-25 white male demographic by the industry monopolies who appear to have absolute ownership of our public airwaves. Women, minorities and those who hold political views that are not extreme right wing are shut out.

The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) never passed because 3 states refused to ratify it long ago. So, gender-equal treatment in the USA has no legal champion and sex discrimination marches on, male and female alike, leaving this nation without the astounding benefits of equal treatment -- increased Gross Domestic Product, desperately needed increased revenues and decreased costs! Just 3 of the 15 UNratified states can put ERA into the US Constitution making sex discrimination a violation of the US Constitution depending on the case.

Government employee retirement benefits treated the same as Social Security

The most basic job of the U.S. Congress is to propose a budget for Presidential approval before the beginning of the fiscal year. The entire U.S. Government continually runs on a continuing resolution because our Congress is unable to reach a compromise and establish a bipartisan and responsible budget proposal. No industry would reward their executives for such poor performance and neither should the U.S. Government.

I propose a tax on profits from violent media such as movies and video games. The revenue raised could then be directed towards funding a national Mental Health initiative.

Consumers have the right to know what they eat, and not enough is known about genetically-modified plants and their impact on the human body and on the environment. The number of GMO foods in the U.S. is growing at an alarming pace and we should be able to choose food whose source is known and certified to be organic.

As many of you may know, pro gun advocates are calling for Piers Morgan to be deported over comments about gun control (free speech) after the horrible acts of violence we have seen over the last few years. If you agree that there needs to be a ban on assault and high capacity weapons show America we stand behind Piers Morgan comments and agree something needs to be done.

What really matters IS NOT the deficit "right now," instead it is helping the MOST AMERICANS POSSIBLE to get jobs that pay a decent living wage to feed their families with! It is getting revenues to use to invest in our roads, bridges, schools, students, and rebuilding America from New Jersey to New Orleans to Oregon!
