War-making is obsolete. In today’s nuclear age it is also suicidal. The Women's International League for Peace and Freedom is currently campaigning for a Congressional resolution to bring a version of Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution as an amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Written by U.S. occupation forces in1946 Article 9 declares that Japan will never again make war. Japan has not made war in 66 years while growing to become an economic giant on the world stage. Not one soldier or civilian lost in combat. Not one war declared in that time. This is a legacy and an example for the world to follow. With Article 9 in our constitution, we and Japan can form a coalition to support the United Nations in abolishing war-making as a political and economic tool.

LTC(Ret) Barbara Bachmeier was certified to run for the Alaska State House in the upcoming elections, but after her opponent filed a residency challenge, Lt Gov Mead Treadwell disallowed her candidacy, knowing that the decision did not include a complete review of all the evidence. After telling Barbara that he did not have any involvement with the decertification decision and pledging to look into the matter, Treadwell chooses to ignore all inquiries. [Some offices in Alaska state government, are not required to respond to constituent inquiries. Governor's office states this is not their problem.]

The Rohingyas are being denied statehood by their own government. They are being forced to move out of their homeland. The Myanmar Government does not recognize them as citizens of Myanmar. The Rohingyas have been living in West Myanmar for hundreds of years. They are being discriminated against because of their ethnicity and religion. I’m not a Rohingya. I’m doing this totally tor humanitarian reason. I became aware of the plight of the Rohingya during my stay in Bangkok Thailand in 2009 while I was there on a graduate study program in International Relations. Meeting some of the refugees from Myanmar helped me learn of their daily struggle. The academic discussions about the subject showed me the intensity of the humanitarian disaster. Now that the political and economic situation in Myanmar is improving, it is time for the Myanmar Government to start working on solving the problems of all the suffering minorities of Myanmar including the Rohingya. I call on the President of the USA Barack Obama, and the Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to take advantage of this opportunity in order to end the persecution of all minorities In Myanmar.

If we're going to build a pipeline from the Canadian border, let's build one to bring water from the Great Lakes to Texas. Let's power the pumps with solar and wind power installed along its route. Let's help the climate change deniers see the benefits of renewable energy sources to them.

Smart Meters are being forced on us by our utility companies. They emit microwave radiation almost 24/7. They also invade our privacy because they can tell when you are home and what you are doing in your home electronically. After installation, people have complained that their bills have increased. We deserve the ability to opt-out with no fees.

No child’s future should be pre-determined by religious indoctrination by parents, schools or clergy. Help children in the United States declare their freedom from forced religious dogma. Give children the right to think critically on issues of religion, science, superstition and our natural world without undue influence. Pledge your voice to help all children in the U.S. declare their right for RELIGIOUS INDEPENDENCE.

The role of money in American politics is aided and abetted by the Electoral College. Each state legislature controls the way the electors vote as well as who they are. We all know that the price of a majority of state level legislators is way lower than ads for a national campaign. By amending the Constitution, Article 2 Section 1, to eliminate the college and count each persons vote for president we will make it virtually impossible for big money to buy all of our votes. There will never again be another tie vote.

The Federal Reserve under former Chairman Greensberg said overdraft fees are not interest. This is untrue. When did banks get to set fines? Stop this scam and set reasonable interest charges on the overdrafts. Tell the CFPB to get on this NOW!
