• Colorado Civil Rights Commission
    Protecting Ethnic Minorities Civil Rights The State of Colorado doesn't protect Ethnic Minorities Civil Rights. The Civil Rights Commission is weak and doesn't have enforcement power. As an activist, I have experienced and hear about many civil rights violations, Ethnic Minorities can't afford attorney fees. The state of Colorado must protect Ethnic Minorities civil rights. Legislators must make this a priority in 2013.

  • Should we not have Wall Street pay for our deficit
    The Flash Crash should be seen as a shot across our collective bow. High Speed Trading can go out of control within 10 minutes and 70% of our economy could evaporate, because of it. One of the more moderate suggestion is to place a SETEC on those and other trade transactions. If Wall Street created the economic mess should we not be talking about re-instating a SETET (Security Exchange Transaction Excise Tax) both on within company internal trades if money goes outside our boarders and external trades on all US exchanges. Which would be better for the market a bunch of new regulations to stop flash crashes caused by automated trading on the high speed system or a 1% to 6% SETET to make these high speed trades less lucrative and slowing the that traffic some. While producing income deficit reducing for the US Government. Shouldn't we turn to those who caused much of our deficit help pay down those deficits?

  • IRS: "tax or debt collection agency"
    Because you have allowed the IRS to be used as a debt collection agency. ISAC has put me in a position where I cannot afford to have the dental work done or afford medical insurance. This is why the IRS should be used ONLY to collect taxes.

  • Congressional Pay and Budget Cuts
    With all the talk of cutting citizen's entitlement spending, the Congress should be given Medicare instead of their expensive government health plans and Reduce each Congressman's Staff Budgets and Salaries, before cutting the average citizen's Health care coverage and Tax deductions. It just a small amount in the overall scheme of things, but they were the one responsible for the entire deficit, which no one outside of Congress voted to overspend in the first place.

  • Protect our military from rape!
    News stories about women in the military being raped by other military personnel and not receiving the redress they seek. Not only is this happening in war zones but at military academies and training facilities, as well. This must be addressed!

  • SOS: Save our Social Security & Medicare!
    We elected Barack Obama to fight for the middle class, NOT to destroy the middle class by changing the age of Medicare eligibility and cutting the cost of living on Social Security. Seniors like me can't afford to wait until we're 67 -- and trimming Social Security just means more of a burden on middle class families. Tell our elected officials to HOLD THE LINE on Medicare and Social Security!
