Religious institutions and persons do not pay taxes. I am an Atheist and do not receive tax exemptions for my beliefs. Taxing religion and their property would eliminate the national debt and be more fair to the middle class.

The state of North Carolina should open an investigation into whether the Republican-backed firm Strategic Allied Consulting engaged in voter registration fraud. Strategic Allied Consulting has been accused of filing fraudulent registration forms in nearly a dozen Florida counties, and may have done the same in North Carolina.

Secretary of State Kris Kobach has been double-dipping, collecting his pay while pursuing a side business of writing and defending legislation against undocumented immigrants for other states.

It has recently been announced that immediately following the first debate, Mitt Romney plans to go to Hong Kong to hold a fund raiser for people in another part of the world to make their wishes known in the Presidential election. This should be, if not illegal, at the very least highly questionable if not immoral, unethical, and un-American. It is probably not the first time funds have been raised in another country, but it should be the last.

The lead opponents of Washington marriage equality have invited Rick Santorum to help them raise money for their efforts next week. Yes, you heard that right -- Rick Santorum. This is someone who has spent his entire career insulting and degrading gays and lesbians every chance he got. Same-sex marriage? To Rick Santorum, that is literally the greatest threat to homeland security. These guys aren't moderates. They don't respect loving gay and lesbian couples and their families. They're extremists, pure and simple. They are way, way out of the mainstream. Let's tell Rick Santorum to stay home and keep his right-wing bigoted views to himself. Join us now and help us send a message before his two events next week.

Update Maryland's Trafic Laws to what 44 states in the US already have and have the left lane of highways just for passing and slower traffic should stay to the right hand lanes.

Corporate robocalls that annoy the entire country with impunity despite so called do not call lists.

Republican congressional candidate Brad Staats posted a picture of his gun on Facebook with the caption, "Welcome to Tennessee Mr. Obama," and we are demanding that he take the inappropriate post down.

The Farm Bill supports producing meat and carbs. Less than 5% goes to growing the fruits and vegetables that prevent obesity, cancer, and heart disease. Our national leaders should support public service commercials and make public statements to encourage people to eat fruits and vegetables, and use the Farm Bill to support farmers who grow foods that make us healthy.

Kill the electoral collage for voting presidential elections.
