Immigration. I am an organizer, a mother and a Latina and I have seen the immigration issue not being addressed by President Obama. In the past election 75% of Latinos voted for him and 73% Asians also supported him. It is time to pay attention to this issue and fix it.

We need to Ask Harry Reid to Change the rules of the Senate to discontinue the rules permitting members of the Senate to put Anonymous Filibusters in place preventing transparency and accountablity.

Restricting sales of guns and handguns.

In 2012, in the age of iPads, Facebook, and Coursera, it is absurd that we have such archaic voting procedures. We can watch the elections results on 3D holograms and touch screen jumbo monitors, yet we have citizens waiting in line for hours in inclement weather with various issues all across the country. While I simply walked up to hand in my vote by mail ballot with no problems, I saw in real time through news and social media the very real problems people were facing. The problems are real with many possible solutions- online voting, early voting, voting day as a national holiday, etc. Let's hold President Obama and Congress accountable. As the President said in his acceptance speech on November 6th, 2012, "by the way, we have to fix that." This should not be an after thought. We can not wait four more years to work on this. Reform voting procedures now.

Congress is not working, literally. Nothing gets done not only because of the idea of "gridlock," but also because legislators never have to get together to work things out. Make legislators "normal" federal employees, with two weeks of vacation per year, all federal holidays, and that is it. By being forced to be physically with the opposition, legislators will find common ground.

The people of Colorado and Washington recently voted to allow marijuana use for adults in the state. This was a crucial victory for civil liberty and a defeat for wasteful government spending. The federal government has told Colorado and Washington they will still be prosecuting its residents for violating federal laws. Tell President Obama to respect these states and stop enforcing federal laws there.

Our government needs to put the seal of approval and authority on the ERA so that equal pay for equal work is the law, and to stand behind women in their quest for equal treatment under the law.

1. The government has no right to enforce marijuana laws. There are always reasons why laws exist. While some advocates for the status quo claim that marijuana laws prevent people from harming themselves, the most common rationale is that they prevent people from harming themselves and from causing harm to the larger culture. But laws against self-harm always stand on shaky ground—predicated, as they are, on the idea that the government knows what's good for you better than you do—and no good ever comes from making governments the guardians of culture. 2. Enforcement of marijuana laws is racially discriminatory. The burden of proof for marijuana-prohibition advocates would be high enough if marijuana laws were enforced in a racially neutral manner, but—this should come as no surprise to anyone familiar with our country's long history of racial profiling—they are most definitely not. 3. Enforcement of marijuana laws is prohibitively expensive. Six years ago, Milton Friedman and a group of over 500 economists advocated for marijuana legalization on the basis that prohibition directly costs more than $7.7 billion per year. 4. Enforcement of marijuana laws is unnecessarily cruel. You don't have to look very hard to find examples of lives needlessly destroyed by marijuana prohibition laws. The government arrests over 700,000 Americans, more than the population of Wyoming, for marijuana possession every year. These new "convicts" are driven from their jobs and families, and pushed into a prison system that turns first-time offenders into hardened criminals. 5. Marijuana laws impede legitimate criminal justice goals. Just as alcohol prohibition essentially created the American Mafia, marijuana prohibition has created an underground economy where crimes unrelated to marijuana, but connected to people who sell and use it, go unreported. End result: real crimes become harder to solve. 6. Marijuana laws cannot be consistently enforced. Every year, an estimated 2.4 million people use marijuana for the first time. Most will never be arrested for it; a small percentage, usually low-income people of color, arbitrarily will. If the objective of marijuana prohibition laws is to actually prevent marijuana use rather than driving it underground, then the policy is, despite its astronomical cost, an utter failure from a pure law enforcement point of view. 7. Taxing marijuana can be profitable. A recent Fraser Institute study found that legalizing and taxing marijuana could produce considerable revenue. 8. Alcohol and tobacco, though legal, are far more harmful than marijuana. I have written in the past that the case for tobacco prohibition is actually much stronger than the case for marijuana prohibition. Alcohol prohibition has, of course, already been tried - and, judging by the history of the War on Drugs, legislators have apparently learned nothing from this failed experiment.

I THINK CONGRESS WOULD BE MORE SUPPORTIVE OF A GOOD HEALTH SYSTEM FOR EVERYBODY IF THEY HAD TO PAY FOR THEIR OWN HEALTHCARE.

The practice of large, wealthy corporations spending lavishly to influence Congressional legislation needs to be outlawed. It is clear that this practice promotes legislation that caters to special interests at the expense of the common good for American citizens. This is tantamount to "insider trading" on Wall Street.

Make every citizen's vote count, and count equally, for electing the president of the U.S., by replacing the electoral college system with a simple nation-wide popular vote system.
