It's about providing SEED MONEY to Americans who come up with bright, new ideas that will profit the individual, the community and the Nation.

All local, state and national elections should be limited to 6 months maximum from the date a candidate announces his/her candidacy to the date of the actual election. This limited amount of time would emphasize the issues instead of denigrating the opponent's character. Elected officials would have more time to actually govern.

From André Mulligan a very important a must read, can I live? The days of being a black man in Louisville, KY is now at a point of fearing for your life. Where the police can do as they please! Last night, some friends and I were sitting outside of Club 116 located between 1st and 2nd on Main St. When a police car drove past speeding, I yelled out ”slow down”, right then and there the officer stopped and asked me to put my hands on top of his squad car. As I walk up to do as he asked while placing my hands on top of the car I asked “what did I do”? He then asked did I have an ID, now taken I had just took it out of my pocket and it was sitting in my vehicle I stated “no”. He then said you’re under arrest for public intoxication, not knowing I had not had a drink at all. While placing my hands behind my back, several in the crowded yelled give him a Breathalyzer test. He then yelled" your resisting arrest and I was like sir I’m not and he stepped over with his right leg and drove me to the pavement. Once on the ground he yelled let your hands go, but I didn’t have them anymore they were behind my back but he wasn’t reaching for my hands and he then reached over and punched me in my face with his right hand. Placing a knee over my neck, he waited until another officer ran up, who began trying to push the crowd back who was watching this injustice happen right there in their face. However, he then began threatening the crowd to be tased if they didn’t put away their cells phones. They the officers than picked me up and smashed my head in the back window of the trunk and grabbed me and threw me in on my face in the squad car. Once I was in, I yelled to the officer, "You’re a sorry ass cop” and he then says “Oh yell”. Opens the car door back up and jumped in on top of me and began to punch me in my face again. The second officer with a gray shirt then ran on the other side grabbing my neck and began to twist it. Once I noticed what was going on, I yelled to him why are you trying to break my neck, yelling out loud as he twisted and cranked for 45 sec before reaching under my head as him and the other office played tug of war with one grabbing my feet and one my head trying to hurt me as much as possible. However coming to an end the officer with the gray shirt walked around to the other side and put a seat belt on me and both officer drove up to the light at 2nd in main and one yells in the car window to the other and says “This nigga is crazy" the officer in the other car said “Hey, you wanna take him somewhere” and knowing that they were being tailed the officer driving me declined the offer. Pulling up to lock up, i was met by some 5 white police officers that all rushed to aid of their Klan style beating that their officers did to me only to be met by the sergeant who began taking pictures of me and asking some questions of what happen. Declaring it will now be an internal affairs case. Black people in Louisville, I feared for my life last night, I really thought that I wasn’t going to live another day at the hands of the police and if they had their way I would be dead! I have a mild head concussion, a broken nose and a sprained thumb. I’m a great citizen and I love my city, but we have to get these police out. They are suppose to serve and protect, they are supposed to read you your rights? Which I received none. I’m sick of this hurt, I’m of being treated like a nobody, like a nigga, like an ant. Well it’s time to start voting these mayors and judges and captains out of office. We are the citizens and us as blacks need to come together, build together, and stop this injustice.

Bring back the "for the common good" clause in corporate charters and enforce it. Require corporations to contribute some percentage of their revenue (e.g. 30%) to their local communities. Enforce substantive penalties for violating their obligation to the public good, up to and including "execution" -- nationalizing the corporation and all its assets, and jailing/executing the officers and directors. Corporations should be held accountable to the public at large, not just their direct shareholders, and profit must not be their only motive to exist.

The popularity of the U.S. Congress and the U.S. Senate are at their lowest point in history and with good reason. Congressional gridlock keeps any thing from getting done. I feel as though I am not being represented, that Congress has lost touch with the people of America. This has happened, in part, because of the perks and benefits that Congress has bestowed on itself. Once elected, they live the life of the rich and famous. It is time for them to return their focus on the common person. In the past year some form of this Congressional Reform has turned up in my inbox more than once. The first time it came from a liberal friend, the second time from a conservative relative who was "passing this email along from the desk of Warren Buffet." This reform petition is not partisan. Please sign this petition and forward it to everyone you know. Please sign it once no matter how many times it arrives in your inbox. When the signatures reach a critical mass, I plan to send it to every elected member of the U.S. Congress.

Inspired by similar efforts at college campuses across the United States, this petition aims to censure Chick-fil-A's discriminatory practices against the LGBT community as well as to foster a more diverse and just campus life at the University of North Florida. According to Student Government President, Carlo Fassi, via The Spinnaker: UNF is looking to spend $700,000.00 to renovate the current Sbarro location for a Chick-fil-A at the University of North Florida. However, the company has spoken openly against LGBT equality and consistently funded groups that seek to curb LGBT rights. In fact, Chick-fil-A has donated over $5 million dollars to anti-gay organizations between 2003 - 2010, supporting groups such as Focus On The Family, Exodus International, and the Family Research Council.

Renters subscribe to carriers vacate homes and if they do not pay a fee of $95.00 it stays forever. In some cases they do not have the money, and in others they are physically unable to remove it themselves. This policy applies to homeowners also. I wrote to the FCC, FTC, (REF # 39429104) and was told unless there was enough interest generated they could not address the problem.

The recession has really made it difficult for employment. It has forced college graduates to turn to assistance at their local Social Services. The Welfare Reform Act need to be revised for people who has college education and work experience. We don't want to sit in an 8 hour a day class that only teaches people to become self sufficient when of course we are college graduates. We are only at Social Services because employment is very difficult to obtain and working minimum wage barely pay the bills or feed families. Please establish a program that put college graduates first in line to gain employment. We don't need to be trained how to obtain employment, build resumes, or studies toward GED program. It's great that the program is there for people who are in those guidelines but it also makes college graduates over qualified. It's nothing within the program that help college graduates feel that we are benefiting something. The law itself is blinded and no one never imagined that the recession would lead college graduates who has an Associate Degree, Bachelor Degree, or Masters Degree into Social Services.
