• Eliminate child poverty in the United States
    As a school social worker, I have seen the devastating effects of poverty on children's emotional development and academic achievement (poverty threshold for family of four: $22,314). Children born into poverty in the United States are 43% more likely than their peers from higher income families to live in poverty as adults. Poverty lowers the probability of these children becoming productive citizens and cheating our nation of future innovative and dynamic leaders.

  • Revise the Electoral College
    Currently, most states employ a "winner-take-all" approach to the electoral college, so that if a presidential candidate gets the majority of the votes in a state, he or she receives all of the electoral votes for that state. As a result, candidates tend to focus only on swing states in campaigns.

  • President Obama: Add election reform to Democratic platform
    The Citizens United decision has opened the floodgates for corporations and non-profit groups to pour undocumented and unlimited amounts of money into campaign advertising. This ruling has all but silenced the voice of citizens in favor of non-human entities.

  • Senators Reid and McConnell: End the filibuster
    Next year, The U.S. Senate will once again be nearly evenly split between Democrats and Republicans. But without 60 votes, neither party can pass any meaningful legislation. To help break the gridlock in Washington, the leaders of both parties in the U.S. Senate should commit themselves NOW to adopting new Senate rules in January 2013 to end the filibuster, no matter which party gains control of the Senate in the November elections.

  • Don't re-elect Governor Cuomo if he approves fracking
    By meeting with oil and gas companies and expressing approval for hydrofacking in New York State, Governor Cuomo is putting our drinking water, our environment, our quality of life, and the future of our children and grandchildren at stake. As a resident of the Marcellus Shale Region, ground zero for fracking in NYS, my personal safety and the property value of my home are in dire danger. We are calling for Governor Cuomo to stand strong in support of New Yorkers and our drinking water, rather than succumbing to the financial desires of big oil and gas.
