  • Use Federal Civil Rights Legislation to Protect Children as a Special Class from Pedophiles
    I was molested between the ages of 10 - 12 while a Boy Scout in Troop 455 in North Merrick, New York, which culminated in a very violent violation by my Boy Scout Troop Leader in his basement when I was 12. A 38 Caliber "Policeman's Special" was shoved into my mouth to "help me" forget. It worked for 33 years. My memory returned at age 45 in September 1994. I started therapy the next day. My Troop Leader apologized to me in July 1999. New York recently reformed its statute limiting prosecution. The deadline for criminal prosecution had been age 18; it is now 53. The reform also opened a one year "Look Back Window" that has allowed me to now be part of a class action. Now all I must do is survive Covid-19. Eight (8) States and The Territory of Guam have no Statute of Limitation for prosecuting child sex abuse. Each State treats child sex crimes differently. In my opinion, this is a violation of the "Due Process" and "Equal Justice" clauses of Article 1 of the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution. The Federal Government is obligated to ensure Equal Justice Before the Law. This can be accomplished by using existing Federal Civil Rights Laws to protect children as a special class. There should be no Statute of Limitation on the Federal level shielding pedophiles from prosecution; the Federal Government must prosecute when the States fail to protect children, just as the Federal Government steps in when States fail to prosecute hate crimes. The most severely traumatized should not be further violated being denied justice because of a handicapped memory that resulted from the extreme nature of their trauma. The survivor-victim is still obligated to prove their case; most critically they must be heard! That is why I started this petition to the United States House of Representatives, the United States Senate, and to President Donald Trump. Will you sign this petition? https://petitions.moveon.org/sign/use-federal-civil-rights

  • Student Dies Before Graduation--Citibank Still Collects from Grieving Parents
    Our daughter Brittani was killed in a tragic and brutal car accident three days before her twenty-third birthday—just a week before her college graduation. Brittani had dedicated her life to serving people and making people's lives better. She had her whole life ahead of her. When Brittani died, she still had student loans to pay off, and for more than three years Citibank demanded repayment from our family. While we grieved, Citibank continued to demand payment, and we struggled to pay these bills monthly. Our family is lucky. After more than three years of begging and pleading with Citibank, we started an online petition. With the help of our friends, MoveOn, and so many others, our petition spread fast. And once Citibank started to feel public pressure, they agreed to forgive Brittani's student debt. But we're not the only ones who have had this experience with Citibank and other big banks. Citibank received a taxpayer bailout, while most families get no help when they need it most. No one should have to go through think kind of ordeal. Citibank should institute a policy of student loan forgiveness when a student dies and stop going after family members.

  • "The People With No Names"
    "The People With No Names" I don't know how many people know about the "sanatoriums" , for those of you that have no clue about what I am talking about..... one or more of your family members could possibly be a part of this. Have you a blank leaf on your "family tree" ? Well pick a number, because your guess is as good as mine. From the 1800's your family member could have been sent to a "sanatorium" , these places were not only for the mentally ill but also took on other functions. If you were crippled, suspected to have Tuburciolosis, or if you were just poor, no place to live, an immigrant from another country, hence the term "Poor House", all ended up becoming Guinea Pigs. Anyway our ancestors have not only een wronged in so many ways, but are still lost souls. Some of the places put only numbers on the graves, most are unmarked. How can we truly know to whom and where we belong in this thing we call life?!

  • Parent Plus Loan Forgiveness
    Parent Plus Loans cannot be forgiven or even have the interest lowered unless the parent dies or goes on permanent disability. Peoples circumstances change especially in this economy and I think there should be more affordable options for these loans. I am on Social Security Disability and have been for 12 years but not permanent and only make $1,250 a month and yet have a $400.00 payment and NO ONE will budge.

  • Save our bank!
    I'm going to tell you something you might not believe, the Grameen Bank in Bangladesh belongs to the whole world, including you. Founded in 1976, the Grameen Bank is run by poor rural women in Bangladesh, it has won the Nobel Peace Prize, and it has returns in line with multinational banks the world over. It's more than a money making institution however, it sends children to school, provides a secure pension and savings for families on the brink and gives micro-loans to millions of women to start their own businesses which support and nurture their families. And now the Bangladesh government wants to end all of that. Bangladesh seems like it might be a world away, but it's not. We're in the midst of a worldwide recession caused by wealthy bankers and corporations who put their own profits ahead of the well being of average citizens like you, and me. As the banks fail, they turn to us, taxpayers, mothers, fathers and small business folks, to bail them out. Clearly there must be better options for our savings and our economies. And the Grameen Bank is a successful alternative. But now, after almost 40 years of international renown, the government of Bangladesh has a scheme to take the control from these impoverished women and give it to wealthy businessmen. Why? For two reasons: The government run banks are already considered to be bastions of corruption and greed, unconcerned with the fate of the people who entrust officials with their life savings. And because Grameen, is currently not under their control or oversight. I'm tired of the smallest percent controlling all of our savings in this world. I'm tired of how little they care about depleting our pension funds, foreclosing on our houses, high interest education loans, and all of the other ways they screw the little people. Let Grameen stay in the hands of its stockholders and its customers. Let us all have an example of a bank that represents the interests of the common man and woman. Please call on our President to put pressure on Bangladesh to leave Grameen in the hands of the people, it's their money after all.
