• STOP "for-profit" schools from enrolling new students due to job loss
    I am a former graduate from ITT Technical Institute and received my Associates Degree in Computer Network Systems in July 2006. Now it's November 2012 and I have no job leading to any IT position. The only jobs I were only able to obtain are "minimum wage" jobs. With $20,000 in debt, student loans doubled in 6 years, and searching for something that doesn't exist I feel robbed out of a education. According to the student loan act it should be discharged if I didn't benefit from the education, which I haven't. Why am I working mininum wage $8.25/hr jobs? When I first saw the ITT Tech commercial in 2002 I thought it would be a excellent choice to further my career, but now 10 years later it's a disaster. My student loans are currently in deferment and my wages are being garnished. I'm struggling as is it and these people won't get off my back. The economy has went to booming to people losing their jobs in groves and I'm affected by all this.

  • End Parental Rights of Rapists
    It is legal in 31 states for a rapist to request the same rights as any other biological father. If a woman does decide to carry a rapist's baby and raise it, she should not have to be tied to that man forever, nor should an innocent child be exposed to someone capable of such a heinous act.

  • No electioneering near polling places... including near any lines leading into the voting location.
    The 2012 election had many incidences of verbal altercations between law abiding citizens, who were waiting to express their voting choices in our civilized society, as they waited at the polling/voting location and people who showed up just to harass them for exercising their constitutional right to vote. Current laws state that: "No person shall conduct ANY campaigning or electioneering for any candidate or ballot issues within 100 feet of the front door to any polling/voting location. Since the long lines going into many voting locations went far beyond the 100 feet limit, that is where the verbal harassing and altercations took place.

  • A constitutional amendment regarding elections and the electoral franchise
    Recent elections have revealed imperfections in the electoral process that include eternal campaigning, an effective monopoly on public political speech by the two major parties, the warping of elections by the extremely wealthy, the protection of falsehoods in political discourse, and a lack of uniformity in the electoral process from state to state. Most importantly, however, the Constitution does not explicitly state that the people of the US have a right to democratically-elected representative government. This proposed Constitution amendment would eliminate these defects.

  • Governor Fix The Flawed EDD Office So Disability Citizens Will Not Have To Suffer for Their Benefits
    Applying for EDD is a large headache for many disabled citizens in California. I am one of them. You have to call the 800 number at least 60 times or more to get a customer service rep. Once you get them online. The are rushed to do their jobs to meet a quota it seems, so they give out flawed and untrue information to the caller. I have had several reps, tell me 25 statements about receiving the debit card. None were true. The landlord was trying to evict me from my apartment, I had to call the electrical company and beg them not to turn of my electricity. Friends had to loan me monies for food and gas so I could get to the doctors for treatment. I wrote the Governor, called the Governors office several times, they were nice enough to put me through to the Executive Office of EDD, I would leave a message, no one will call you back. I call the Governor's office again, they put me through to the executive EDD office and stayed on the line with me and made sure someone answered, they did and ask for my social security number and and my name and said that they would have someone call me back that day. No one never called me and it is weeks later. I had to fax a letter to the Governor's office with other documents to prove what I was complaining about. I filed for EDD in September and it is November, I still haven't received the debit card yet.
