Our present financial crisis is rooted in the revocation of Glass-Steingold Act of 1933 which mandated the separation of commercial and investment banks and created an environment for investment banks to become involved in high-risk, unprotected behavior without the controls that commercial banks operate under. Lobbyist slowly chipped away this Law, over the last 70 years, removing its last provision under Clinton; the separation of Commercial (Local savings and loans) from Investment banking (Wall Street, basically-gambling). The results, we and other countries' governments (the people) are held hostage, bank's profits are privatized, big bonuses paid but, their losses are socialized. This is like your neighbor going, Las Vegas to gamble. But instead of using their money, they place bets using your family's checking and savings, your home, any and all retirement income AND; they loose it all, saying "I'm just playing by the Rules, I can do that, but you can't. It's just too complicated for you to understand." Change the Rules: Separate Commercial Banks from Investment Banking-Again

Many of our food products contain genetically-modified organisms, or GMOs. We Americans have no way to know which foods have been genetically engineered in a lab, except by buying organic foods, which not everyone can afford. We deserve to know which food products contain GMOs. Foods containing GMOs should be clearly labeled.

The current system for Veterans prefference. Doesn't sevre our Veterans, i. e. 12% unemployed.. I was .passed over even though I had 10 points and scored in the 90% We need a law that make sure that Veterans are hired first at all levels of government. If a job is paid with taxes,there should be a Veteran doing it. .

In the wake of the tsunami of money flooding the markets to influence voters, we must create a law modeled after Canada's successful legislation that forbids licensed broadcasters to allow lies or known misinformation on the airwaves.

We need to know all information about someone running for the highest office. No more hiding or playing games, once someone files the paperwork to run for President 10 years of tax returns are to be sent at the same time.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - A Florida woman who fired warning shots against her allegedly abusive husband has been sentenced to 20 years in prison. Marissa Alexander of Jacksonville had said the state's "Stand Your Ground" law should apply to her because she was defending herself against her allegedly abusive husband when she fired warning shots inside her home in August 2010. She told police it was to escape a brutal beating by her husband, against whom she had already taken out a protective order. CBS Affiliate WETV reports that Circuit Court Judge James Daniel handed down the sentence Friday. Under Florida's mandatory minimum sentencing requirements Alexander could receive a lesser sentence, even though she has never been in trouble with the law before. Judge Daniel said the law did not allow for extenuating or mitigating circumstances to reduce the sentence below the 20-year minimum. "I really was crying in there," Marissa's 11-year-old daughter told WETV. "I didn't want to cry in court, but I just really feel hurt. I don't think this should have been happening." Alexander was convicted of attempted murder after she rejected a plea deal for a three-year prison sentence. She said she did not believe she did anything wrong. She was recently denied a new trial after appealing to the judge to reconsider her case based on Florida's controversial "Stand Your Ground" law. The law states that the victim of a crime does not have to attempt to run for safety and can immediately retaliate in self-defense. Alexander's attorney said she was clearly defending herself and should not have to spend the next two decades behind bars. George Zimmerman gets bailed out TWICE and he KILLED a young man!!!

Allow every Natural Born U.S. Citizen without Photo I.D. to VOTE ************************************************************************ Dear Attorney General Holder, The 1965 Voting Rights Act is legislation in which America can be truly proud. However, in the past two years it has come under assault by politicians who seem to care more about Winning at any cost, than about fairness and dignity. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, along with countless other Americans, gave their lives for the freedoms so many enjoy today and one of the most important initiatives they fought for was the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Today, we have States that are seeking to change the election process to such a degree that discrimination is inevitable. The proponents of these changes have managed to get Voter I.D. Laws changed at the state level, and now it is up to you Sir, to decide whether to allow this injustice to continue, or to do what is fair and just, and approved by WE THE peoples, " Right To Vote Action" Please don't let the rights that so many Americans fought and died for to be for nothing. Don't approve any changes to the election process that may Disenfranchise any American Voter. Lets put these useless Voter I.D. laws to use for the people! ************************************************************************
