• Turn Climate Change Around
    Scientists tell us that burning fossil fuels has caused the global climate changes that lead to droughts and floods and eventually threaten the ability of humans to survive on Earth. To turn the situation around we've got to stop burning petroleum.

  • How to Decrease the Deficit using Everyone's Money
    I'm disgusted by the hoards of money both sides are squandering for this election, especially by the Republicans. I suggest that, in future elections, exactly half of ANYONE's donation to a political party or PAC be donated to Uncle Sam expressly for the purpose of reducing the deficit.

  • CONGRESS, PASS EXTENSION OF WIND POWER TAX CREDIT
    The tax credit for wind energy is set to expire at the end of this year if Congress doesn't take action. Unlike fossil fuel subsidies, which are long term and have never expired, subsidies for renewable energy have been terminated three times in the last two decades. It is time we become serious about fighting climate change. Supporting renewable energy will not only decrease our CO2 emissions but will also support our economy and help us move toward energy independence.

  • OPT OUT: CREATE DO NOT MAIL OR CALL LISTS FOR POLITICAL ADS
    According to the Washington Post, by the end of September more than $200 million had been spent on print ads by the two primary Presidential campaigns alone. Hundreds of millions more have been wasted on Senate and House campaigns. They're junking up our mailboxes, swamping our landfills, and wasting natural resources. Most people pitch them without even looking at them because none of the ads can be trusted to provide unbiased facts. We need a way to OPT OUT.

  • David Koch: Pay To Rebuild New York City
    Koch Industries billionaire David H. Koch is the wealthiest man in New York City, with a net worth of $40 billion. His fortune is built on polluting the climate system, from tar sands oil, pipelines, and petrochemicals. The rising seas and superheated oceans made Hurricane Sandy into a monster that has caused about $30 billion of damage to New York. Constructing a sea barrier to defend against future sea level rise will cost another $10 billion. Not only has Koch Industries dumped billions of tons of carbon into the air, David Koch has spent hundreds of millions of dollars promoting climate deniers and Tea Party ideologues who fight regulation of carbon pollution. David Koch should immediately pledge his entire fortune to pay the government of New York City for all necessary repairs and investments to guard against future sea level rise and fossil-fueled storms. If Koch refuses, we will take action to shame him and expose his New York City philanthropy as a sham.

  • Make lies in political ads illegal in all states
    When Americans apply for a job, falsifying information on the job application is grounds for firing. Lying on your resume is also grounds for dismissal. Therefore, candidates for political office should not be permitted to campaign based on lies. Individuals wishing to be considered for political office should be required to define their platform, detail their plans and ideas, and defend their position with facts. Political candidates are required to 'approve' political ads, but they are not required to be honest in those ads. The American public has a right to the truth and is entitled to be able to consider the facts presented by all candidates, and to be confident that they are receiving factual information prior to casting their vote. Lying to the American public in order to garner votes for political office is unethical and should be illegal.

  • Drop Romney's Lying Ads from Toledo Radio Stations
    Mitt Romney is a pathological liar. Help me send him a message that Toledo will not tolerate his outrageous lies and we will not perpetrate his lies by broadcasting them on our radio stations. Toledo citizens are calling on Toledo's WRQN, WXKR, WKKO, WWWM, WRVF, WVKS, WIOT and WSPD radio stations to take down Romney's false ads and stop pushing the Romeny agenda of lies.

  • Save the Historic YMCA: Say NO to Demolition
    November 16th St. Petersburg Community Preservation Commission (CPC) will vote whether or not to allow demolition of the Historic YMCA building. The CPC is comprised of nine persons appointed by the Mayor and confirmed by the City Council. The Mediterranean Revival building, located at 116 5th Street S St. Petersburg, FL, was constructed in 1926 and in October of 1991 it was listed in the St Petersburg Register of Historic Places. A Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) to demo the building is filed and will be heard by the CPC. If the CPC decision is appealed it then goes before City Council. Historic buildings in St Pete, such as the downtown YMCA, serve as a public and physical reminder of our city's deep and rich culture. These buildings are nostalgic and a point of pride among many city residents, and should be preserved, not torn down in the name of "progress" and "development." Please join Awake Pinellas in telling City Council and the CPC that we do not want this important monument to our city's history torn down.
