• Save Big Bird, Sesame Street & PBS from Romney

  • Romney's "Plausible reliability"
    Richard Nixon's PLAUSIBLE DENIABILITY STANDARD You can do something shady as long as you can give a believable but false denial of it. Mitt Romney's PLAUSIBLE RELIABILITY STANDARD You can say something just so incompletely that it is reliably believable, but false as understood.

  • Obama: You cited the unemployment rate before..
    President Obama is prepping for his second debate against Mitt Romney. Romney has been citing the unemployment numbers all this time. Now he's downplaying latest number, 7.8%. It's not surprising that he was happy to talk about the figure when it was above 8%. Sure, the country could use more jobs, but the fact is that when the president took office, we were losing hundreds of thousands of jobs per month. The fact is that that during the Obama presidency, we've added jobs. Would we like to speed things up? Sure, but remember what Clinton said at the convention. The republicans feel we didn't clean up their mess quickly enough, so they want back in. Not going to happen. Let the president know that we need him to defend the progress we've made. Let him know that you want him to, "be clear" about how far we've really come since dems won the white house in 2008. We're almost there, lets not let Romney's false claims determine the winner of this election.

  • Medical Cannabis
    Well I would like to petition the government ,to lower the rating of this herb to the level of Alcohol,fire arms and tobacco. I have a condition which this helps me get through the day. If the DEA keeps taking the herb and busting in on pharmacies, i don't like to be caught in the cross hairs of their law. Not only that but as well as the country and individual states due off of alcohol and tobacco,they would even do way, way better. It is common sense and very logical in a mathamatical way !

  • END SMART METERS & OPT-OUT FEES
    SMUD says they are harmless yet, an the insert in the statements it clearly says may cause leukemia in infants. We are fighting electric service companies to opt-out (at no cost) of the meters & fees since thousands of customers elderly and poor people. They threaten to cut off service if we don't pay the opt-out fee or they will install the meter over our objections. After doing research I found out the Smart Meters are deadly, plus an invasion of privacy.

  • NYCHA Causes Homelessness
    I have a New York City Housing Authority voucher for Section 8 housing. I am supposed to be an "emergency" transfer because 1) I live in a home that did not pass inspection and 2) I am the victim of domestic violence. I brought in my paperwork repeatedly because it constantly was lost by the workers at the Atlantic Avenue NYCHA building. My landlords flooded my apartment where I currently live and never completed repairs nor reimbursed me for all that I lost as promised. I am suing them in small claims court and they lied in their countersuit. They claim they are suing me for unpaid rent, I am on public assistance and my portion of the rent goes directly to them before I even receive a check. I brought this proof to NYCHA and they still refuse to give me a transfer voucher until my landlords give them a notorized letter stating that I do not owe rent. Doing so would show that my landlords have purgered themselves so they will not provide the letter. Assembly woman Debi Rose has been aware of this situation and has been working with me for about a year now. I am to be evicted by my landlords on October 11 and will once again be homeless.

  • Review Capital Gains vs Income tax rates
    Why are coupon clippers subsidized with low capital gains tax rate, by income tax payers, who actually work for their income? If our society is committed to a productive citizen ethic, worker bees should be the ones subsidized by the coupon clippers, who, at most accept financial risk for their investments!

  • Medicare Coverage for the Omni Pod Insulin Pump
    The US Congress has to change the wording & the Code Numbers that they assigned to the OMNI POD INSULIN PUMP! The Code NUMBERS that they assigned are:POD A 9274 & PDME0784! They must change the above Code Numbers and the wording that they applied because the Code Numbers they applied makes Omnipod a disposable item! Medicare is not allowed to cover it!) The Congress seems to be ignorant of the fact that the Omni Pod allow Diabetics to experience Blood Sugar Control! I'm sure if the members had family members or children or grand children with Diabetes this would have been resolved before the Omni Pod came out on the Market!

  • The Restored Privacy of Job Seekers
    Many people have been hit incredibly hard during this economic down turn and are being denied jobs for non violent criminal history. Although laws prohibiting discrimination are in place, its impossible to effectively protect the privacy and/or the negative repercussions that an arrest (even if unfounded or dismissed) has on the job seeker.

  • Tell Romney he Lies, Denies and Omits At Next DEBATE
    After watching the debate I was so disgusted with the way Romney ran the debate. President Obama MUST show the American People that he can be just as assertive as Romney. President Obama needs to make a strong opening statement. He needs to let the American people know that in order for him to have an imformative debate with Romney, Romney has to give the American people some actual specifics about his plans and quit flip flopping on every issue. Otherwise , Romney just keeps lying, denying, omitting and flip flopping. Please President Obama fix the damages from the first debate. This has been Romney's and his advisors plan all along.
