  • CORPORATIONS ARE NOT PERSONS
    In 2008, The Supreme Court decided that corporations can use their money to buy political speech during peak campaign seasons. As a result, independent corporate political speech is now protected under the First Amendment. According to the Supreme Court, money becomes speech when corporations use money to speak. This makes corporations entitled to First Amendment free speech protection. Now, according to the Supreme Court, money is speech which makes corporations persons. This tortured and butchered logic underpinned the High Courts ruling in the Citizens United case. Citizens United wanted to use corporate money to air a film critical of Hillary Clinton which would have violated The McCain–Feingold campaign finance reform Act. The Supreme Court overturned the law on First Amendment grounds. The law previously prohibited "electioneering communication" by corporations.

  • Stop Blaming Victims of Sexual Assault
    Judge Jaqueline Hatch blamed a victim of sexual harassment for the fact that an off duty policeman assaulted her. The man was convicted of the crime but the judge refused to give him jail time or have him register as a sex offender. All women are victimized when one of us is treated in this way.

  • Let teachers TEACH!
    The new national curriculum is a burden that is wreaking havoc in American public school classrooms. Teachers are being bullied everyday by administrators, legislators and business executives who have no experience in the field of education. Companies like Bain and Walmart are influencing the passing of dangerous laws that restrict the rights and freedom of teachers , and people like Bill Gates are influencing educational policy. Academics have been pushed to the side in favor of technology and testing. In addition, the national curriculum, the child of Bush's No Child Left Behind is further eroding real teaching. Data is now driving instruction and technology use in the classroom is being forced upon students and teachers, although even the American Pediatric Association recognizes the dangers of excessive screen use and recommends no more than two hours of screen time per day. Education is NOT a BUSINESS and should not be run like one. Children and teachers are individuals and this one size, robo-teacher concept is nothing short of frightening. Actual teacher centered classrooms are no longer allowed, and teachers, experienced ones in particular, are being threatened and bullied in classrooms across the country everyday. That teachers have been maligned and demonized in the last several years is sad, but what we are doing to our children is even more so. Public school children, especially minority and poor ones, are being left further and further behind everyday. Please, repeal the national curriculum and kick businesses out of the educational policy debate. Give teachers back their ability to teach. Our futures and those of our children depend upon this. And, please, talk to teachers before making wide sweeping changes in education. I would not know how to do your job, could you do mine? Tomorrow I will go to school and teach King Lear, The Grapes of Wrath and The Great Gatsby to my junior and senior classes. And as I do, I will be thinking in the back of my mind that I could be caught doing so by an administrator. But the fear of what we are doing to our children is stronger even than the fear of reprisal. So I will continue to teach, everyday, until I am allowed to do so openly once again, or until I am let go which becomes a greater and greater possibility with each new law passed.

  • The right Vote after paying debt to society
    I am not personally affected with my right to vote being stripped from me after committing a crime. As a nation this issue effects all of us. It is similiar with ecomonic slavery and keeping an unfair balance in the voice of our nation. I believe a person who has owned up to their mistakes and paid their debt to society should not lose the right to vote. Being a voice in our democracy and moving forward with our nation is something that should never be taken away from a citizen of the United States.

  • Ask President Obama to issue an executive order requiring transparency in political donations
    One of the horrors of the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision is the lack of transparency it allows in the untold millions that flow into presidential and congressional elections through superPACs. Even foreign governments like Saudi Arabia and China have access to congressional races. By mandating that transparency after the election season has begun, these corporate sources of donations can be used against their recipients. The breadcrumbs of corruption and quid quo pro will be visible to all, and their existence will be useful ammo in ads even when a candidate is being outspent 8 to 1. President Obama has, through the executive order process, the power to require all companies, nations, and private entities that have contracts with the US government to make political donations public. Now is the time to make this happen so this information can best benefit the underdogs in this political cycle.
