Americans work daily only to not make ends meet financially. We Americans need a pay raise.

Over at least the past 130 years or so, a series of US Supreme Court decisions have incrementally afforded more and more rights to corporations, to the point that they are now legally considered people in the eyes of US jurisprudence. A long term, determined series of lawsuits should be undertaken to weaken and finally terminate this flawed fundamental principle of US law. We the flesh and blood people and citizens of the United States call on all public interest lawyers, legal organizations and other interested parties to coordinate and support such a strategy.

I was recently denied a student loan due to a foreclosure on my home this year. I was told the government changed the rules and is not making it harder for students to get the Plus loan. Also if a student has to file bankruptcy the banks are protected and the student can not include a student loan in a bankruptcy. With the recent economic decline and more people trying to go back and get re-educated the system is set up completely against self improvement and the next generation getting an education. We need the government to protect people not big banks.

So-called 'Monsanto riders,' quietly slipped into the multi-billion dollar FY 2013 Agricultural Appropriations bill, would require - not just allow, but require - the Secretary of Agriculture to grant a temporary permit for the planting or cultivation of a genetically engineered crop, even if a federal court has ordered the planting be halted until an Environmental Impact Statement is completed. All the farmer or the biotech producer has to do is ask.

Petitioning for needed change is okay. Making that change by passing an Initiative is better. SignOn.org should have a process for signing Initiatives, as well as petitions

This petition is about correcting of automotive lighting function, and specifically of headlight aiming and function, and function of automotive tail and brake lights. I have been too often been blinded by miss-aimed headlights. I have frequently noticed cars with missing and malfunctioning tail, brake and turn signal lights.

The Department of Transportation are not medical proffessionals, and should not have the right to arbitraily allow drivers, pilots and engineers to use one Doctor-prescribed controlled substance while disallowing another.

In the eyes of the law Corporation are considered people. As such they should be treated no differently than individuals when they commit crimes. Ex: W.R. Grace and Co. and seven high-ranking employees knew a Montana mine was releasing cancer-causing asbestos into the air andd to hide the danger to workers and townspeople, according to a federal indictment unsealed yesterday. More than 1,200 people became ill, and some of them died, prosecutors said. In this instance the corporation and the executives involved should be eligible for the death penalty based on the severity of the crime. French Example: French law provides for the prosecution of companies as legal entities in a similar way as an individual offender. Under article 121-2 of the Penal Code, «legal persons, with the exception of the State, are criminally liable for the offences committed on their account by their organs or representatives». As implied from article 121-2 of the Penal Code, companies may be held liable through imputation for acts caused by a natural person, so long as the natural person is acting as its organ or representative. A company may be prosecuted for most of the same offences as an individual offender. Therefore, the differences in the prosecution of an individual and a company result from practical realities, as detailed below. IN OTHER WORDS, IF CORPORATIONS WANT TO BE CONSIDERED NATURAL PERSONS THEY SHOULD BE SUBJECT TO THE SAME LAWS AND PENALTIES AS AN INDIVIDUAL WHO COMMITS THOSE CRIMES

Anyone who places a political ad that is dishonest or misleading about their opponent should have all their ads banned from use and they should pay a huge fine to be turned over to the public. free speech doesn't mean obtaining political office by lying to the people.

The prohibition of alcohol was a complete failure, and the current prohibition against marijuana is, and always will be a complete failure in which our government is spending over a billion dollars a year of our tax money trying to enforce an insane law that has ruined tens of thousands of lives by sending non violent "criminals" to for profit prisons. Over 50% of all Americans have stated that they want this insane and impossible to enforce law overturned, and 70% of all Americans agree that medical marijuana should be made available to those in need of this cheap and easily gotten natural herb that has been proven to help many unfortunate people suffering from serious diseases. The billions of dollars that are wasted trying to enforce this insanity could be much better spent on things like education, health care, roads, bridges, green energy and much more.

the coming election

I want to see Wall Street pay for their crimes.
