• Term limits for US Congressmen/women
    Our paid employees in the US congress have spent a lot of time just trying to stay in office. Not working on issues that come up is a waste.

  • Bring good time back to prisoners in Michigan, who didn't kill, rape or molest anyone
    We are paying more to incarcerate a prisoner than we pay to educate a child. They are now going into elementary schools counting heads for the prison system. Tell congress we can’t afford our children not to be educated. Put money in our schools and not in the hands of private investors for prisons. Our prisons are overcrowded and the state is saying they can’t afford to feed them. In prison and they are now giving the inmates bag food. This along with the mental and physical abuse by the guards only make more harden crimminals.

  • END THE EMBARGO OF CUBA
    It is time to review this longest running failed U.S. embargo of Cuba. Our foreign policy toward Cuba has been held hostage by a small minority of mean-spirited Cuban exiles for much too long. It's time for Americans to join the U.N., the Pope and many Congressional leaders who condemn this policy.

  • Michigan's 2012 Human Trafficking Report Card & 18 Other States Failed Too...
    We must work together and our state Legislators need to help US fix or rewrite the law to end/stop modern-day slavery. The issue drew the attention of President Obama at former President Bill Clinton's Clinton Global Initiative on Tuesday (Sept. 25), where Obama said the estimated 20 million victims of human trafficking would become a major focus of his Office of Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships. "Like that Good Samaritan on the road to Jericho, we can't just pass by, indifferent," Obama said. "We've got to be moved by compassion. We've got to bind up the wounds."

    Governor Snyder is proposing extreme measures which will ensure more dollars go to "for profit schools." Government funds should be providing for adequate schools and decent salaries for staff, not providing gains for investors at the expense of public education.

    Commodity index funds have a direct effect on the pocket books of all Americans for food, energy bills and gas prices at the pumps. These higher prices take money out of the economy needed to create job growth.
