  • Stop Tennessee from executing Abu Ali
    Abu Ali has been denied his final appeal by the U.S. Supreme Court and now faces execution, even though no court has ever stated that he received a fair trial. Lionell Barrett, Abu Ali's defense counsel, and one of the most prominent criminal defense lawyers in Tennessee's history, has said, "Abu Ali is on death row because of me. I failed him." The prosecutor lied to Abu Ali's attorney when he stated that a previous conviction of Abu Ali resulted from "a turf war in prison between two gangs as to who would control the drug trade in the prison." In fact, the previous conviction resulted from Abu Ali being victimized by sexual predators. Mitigating evidence that was not presented to the trial jury includes Abu Ali's lifelong abuse by others which has resulted in his suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Abu Ali was wearing a wool black coat at the time of the murder. Even though copious quantities of blood were splattered in the vicinity of the victim, no blood was found on Abu Ali's coat by the TBI crime lab. Abu Ali has an impeccable prison record, has pursued educational opportunities, and has excelled in leadership of other prisoners. The only hope for Abu Ali's life to be saved is for Governor Haslam to commute his death sentence. To learn more about Abu Ali and his case, please visit www.abu-ali.org

  • Eric Thorson it is time to audit Bain and other Wall Street IRA scams.
    Bain deposits stock within an IRA account. The value may exceed the legal limit of 30K because sets controls the price (basis) through insider knowledge. It then, after leveraging the target company, sets a dividend that shifts assets into the stocks in its IRA and then sells off to an unsuspecting public. Result is a major reduction in taxes, while sheltering massive insider gains.

  • Rep. Todd Akin Must Resign
    Rep. Todd Akin, your comments about survivors of rape are shocking and offensive. Anyone who doesn't understand basic biology and wants to create more barriers for rape survivors seeking justice does not belong in the United States Congress.

  • Stop giving public money to the Chamber of Commerce
    The local chamber is stacked with people who constantly raise money to support causes that help only one party. The local governments have supported the chamber to the tune of a little over $500,000 last year. We want our local government to stop supporting an organization that speaks for less than 30% of the population.

It means 99% from the mortgage payments goes to interest. The Petition To be fair to the bank and the borrower to divide the monthly payment.50% to interest and 50% to principal.This will help the owner to have equity and pay his loan sooner.
