• Truth in Politics
    So much political advertising is misleading or outright false. Congress needs to clean up the lies and give us only the truth. The Supreme Court seems to think lying is protected speech, but political advertising must be truthful.

  • Close Fukushima Nuclear Facility
    Tell Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda to permanently close all four nuclear reactors involved in the nuclear disaster. The Japanese people want the reactor site shut down but the Prime Minister will not listen to the thousands of protestors. The radioactive contamination has not been cleaned up and the facility is not safe to operate!

  • ObamaCares
    The Supreme Court has affirmed the Constitutionality and legitimacy of the Affordable Care Act. Republicans have been derisively referring to it as Obamacare. Ask your Member of Congress and Senators to refer to it as ObamaCares. We can throw the G-NO-P's ridicule in their faces and give a one-word characterization to the proper value of this law.

  • Congress: give firefighters health insurance
    I just found out that the firefighters we see on the news risking their lives to put out forest fires are federally employed. According to the Forest Service, because these firefighters are considered "seasonal", they receive no health insurance due to a congressional law which prohibits it. This is just plain wrong and should be rectified by Congress as quickly as possible.

  • Require instant feedback for "political debate" questions.
    I am sick and tired of "political debates" that allow politicians to continually waste our time, regurgitating "talking points", rather than answering the questions. Moderators should have an iridescent orange paddle to judge the speakers response as "Off topic", "irrelevant", "content-free" and perhaps a independent panel (?politifact.com) can judge "untrue" also!

  • Ban Tasers
    Tasers are used by police. Tasers kill (or immobilize) people by delivering a 50,000 volt shock. This shock can and has killed people , including healthy people. When police officers use this device on unarmed people, the young the elderly; they are executing innocent people. Without charge and without trial. Until TASERS are 100% safe and the company TASER International, are willing to pay for the deaths they cause (and will cause) then TASERs should be banned.
