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!

People living with mental illness don't typically make the most popular list but in North Carolina THOUSANDS of these individuals who currently have housing and security and are about to loose all of it. North Carolina in an effort to respond to concerns regarding the safety of our aging population living in Adult Care Homes reacted without prior consideration of the consequences. Beginning last month, the first of many Adult Care Homes across this state were given a determination of "Institute of Mental Disease" & stripped of the ability to get paid if 50% their residential population had a primary mental health diagnosis. The result is thousands of individuals with mental illness across NC will be put out on the street over the next several months. In addition, as these people need assistance with medications and behavioral health management, they will be using the hospitals, emergency departments, and/or ending up our overcrowded jail system.

Why is any person, corporation, or even foreign government, without a right to vote in a given election, allowed to contribute even one cent to try to affect that election's outcome? A resident of one state is not allowed to vote in another state's election, and so should not be allowed to make contributions. A corporation is not entitled to a vote; every individual employee and stockholder may have the right to vote in a given election, and the choice of whom to support is theirs, not their boss's.

Arizona Governor, Jan Brewer, feels that most Arizona state jobs can be better performed by "professional" employees working for private companies. Many state employees have been put out of work by the outsourcing of state jobs, particularly health services positions in the Department of Corrections. To that extent, we feel that the people of the State of Arizona would be better served by a professional manager from outside of Arizona running the State.

Tell Congress to stop with the financial yo-yo effect in the renewable energy industry, and give clean energy suppliers a predictable tax regulation environment for the next decade. The federal PTC is the biggest factor in renewable energy development, and its impending expiration and year-by-year on-off nature us causing boim and bust cycles in the entire industry. This could mean the difference between a domestic manufacturing base, or more foreign imports.
