• Tell Rep. Tom Latham: Violence towards nuns is not a joke
    Would you laugh if someone joked about violently assaulting a group of nuns? That's what Iowa Rep. Tom Latham did on a right-wing radio show last week. The radio host was mad that a group of Catholic sisters are taking a multistate bus tour to highlight their concerns about the House Republican budget. He suggested Rep. Latham "pull the Nuns on the Bus over and pistol whip them." Instead of rebuking the radio host for encouraging violence, Rep. Latham laughed and responded: "It's always fun to be on your show." Let's show Rep. Latham that this rhetoric is unacceptable. He owes the Nuns on the Bus a public apology!

  • DO NOT RAISE POWER RATES
    Don't raise rates for residents that are making less due to recession...YOU are making money but we are going backwards due to lack of employment and lack of cost of living raise. You should be fighting for us not expecting us to give what we don't have.

  • Why are they still too big to fail ?
    We had to spend billions of taxpayers dollars bailing out Wall Street speculators , who crashed the economy. They told us they are too big to fail. If they were too big too fail then , they are too big to fail now. Beak up the top 10 financial institutions.

  • Solar initiative
    For states to mandate that electric providers offer a monetary return on solar energy produced. Take a page from Germany's play book. Offer a dual metering system one for consumption and one for production. This will create jobs, clean energy and kick start the economy.

  • Stiffer Penalties for Killing Motorcyclists
    I believe that there should be jail sentences and larger fines for individuals that hit and kill motorcyclists. I also believe that these laws should be nationwide.

  • End Gender and Pregnancy Discrimination in the Workplace
    Recently terminated a few days after completing a whistleblower form on the human resources website calling for an in person meeting with the Executive Management to discuss the ways in which I have been discriminated against for my gender for the past two years. I did this in hopes of positive change. This was after numerous reports to human resources and management with no improvement. Offered a severence package in exchange for my voice. Relief of a $68k unfair deficit and one months pay in exchange for agreeing not to report them to sate/federal agencies and for not talking about this to anyone but my husband. I say NO WAY, I refuse to sell my voice . Corporations must be held accountable for encouraging and allowing discrimination in the workplace. This is a moral and ethical issue that needs to be addressed. I would like to request that there be a gender discrmination form on all companies websites where employees can submit their greivances. Once submitted this form should be sent to Executive Management AND an outside agency. This protects the employee against retaliation and there is a proper record and history of the complaints. Hold Corporations responsible for negative company cultures that instill and allow for gender discriminiation.

  • Unified Occupy Boycott
    Goal: organize a unified consumer boycotting union which would serve as a ``free market weapon'' against corporations who represent what we are opposed to. This would be unlike previous Occupy related boycott attempts in that 1) The boycott would not commence until critical mass has been obtained, and 2) The targeted corporation would change every quarter

  • Term limits for US legislators
    We must have term limits for all US legislators. A line item veto would also be great and in-power the executive branch of government to eliminate the bartering of votes for "pork Barrel" state and local federal funds which would enable the president the power to balance the budget.
