  • Bring back The Equal Rights Admendment
    This petition would bring the Admendment to the forefront again in order to obtain the final 3 states needed to satisfy the total of 38 states needed to finalize ratification. All American women would benefit from the ratification of this admendment. It is becoming clear that women's rights are under fire by politicians because they do not recognize the Constitution as applying to women, therefore making women subject to discrimination (Anton Scalia has said as much). Much of the manipulating of women's lives by politicians would go away if this admendment became part of our governing document.

  • Pass a budget for the middle class!
    Like most middle-class Americans, I'm falling behind, while corporations and rich families are stealing our nation's wealth. Let's rebuild the American economy, while ending corporate control and corruption of government. We're calling on Congress to seriously consider the People's Budget.

  • To finance infrastructure with zero percent perpetual Treasury bonds.
    To permit Congress to spend more than tax revenue provides, the Fed now sells Treasury bonds on the open market and pays interest to the bond holders. This becomes a serious annual debt interest expense, adds to the national debt, and restricts spending on infrastructure necessary for national defense and competition in the world market. There is a solution to this problem. When faced with the need to finance World War II, the Federal Reserve System bought Treasury bonds "at any price and in any quantity". The interest rate was very low and the quantity was very high. With the Fed’s money, the Treasury paid the nations’ salaries. The post-war spending of consumer savings turned old farms into new suburbs, spawned the baby boom, and began our golden age. With the goal of repeating that wartime success, I have devised a petition to the Chairman of the Federal Reserve System, to the Congress, and to the President:

  • Uniform, expanded early voting hours for ALL
    The Ohio Secretary of State has been personally acting to restrict early voting in counties with large Democratic populations. Now he said he is considering limiting early voting hour across the state in the run-up to the November election and will "be listening to local boards of elections' concern on the issue." It is important for democracy that ALL Ohioans have full, equal, and unrestricted ability to vote.

  • Statewide Just Say "No" to Pennsylvania Voter ID Law
    State Representative Mike Turzai (R-Allegheny) told the Republican State Committee on June 23, 2012, that Pennsylvania's new Voter ID Law would "allow Governor Romney to win the state of Pennsylvania." He as much as admitted it will turn away eligible voters—mostly the poor, elderly and women—who traditionally vote Democratic. However, one thing it will not do—what supporters originally proposed at the law's inception—is prevent voter fraud. State attorneys defending the new Voter ID Law at a hearing presented no evidence that in-person electoral fraud is likely to occur this November without the law, according to a court document. The state and the parties challenging both agree in the court document that neither side knows of cases of in-person voter fraud in Pennsylvania. However, the new law could prevent up to 758,000 registered Pennsylvanians from voting! Our problem in this country is low voter turn out, not people voting multiple times! This is a violation of our civil rights and must be stopped.

  • 50 to 1 is plenty enough incentive.
    If you don't personally own stock in a publicly-traded corporation, then your pension fund probably does. When corporate directors approve obscene salaries and bonuses for their higher echelons, they are therefore robbing the rest of us. If you own your own company outright, then okay, pay yourself any amount you please. But if your company is publicly traded, there should be a legal limit to your compensation.

  • Support Expanded Voting Hours in Ohio
    For months, Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted has personally acted to restrict early voting in counties with large populations—casting tie-breaking votes to limit voting to weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. in urban areas like Franklin County,1 where in previous elections 82% of early voters did so on nights or weekends.2 Now, Secretary of State Husted said he is considering limiting early voting hours across the state in the run-up to the November election, and will "be listening to local boards of elections' concerns on this issue."3 We need to let the Licking County Board of Elections know that Ohioans support giving all registered voters equal opportunity to exercise their right to vote.
