  • Fair Credit Reporting
    American's have enough debt already. So why are the same debts being reported to an individual's credit report multiple times for a single amount owed to a single party? Because when you don't pay the collection agency sells your "debt" to another collection agency... and another, and another... But none of them ever deletes their reporting from a credit file when the account is closed. I am asking the credit rating bureau's and the federal trade commission to allow only one negative entry to an individual's credit report/rating per debt. If a collection agency sells the debt to another agency, without collecting any money from the "debtor", that the original "creditor", or collection agency, be required to remove their reporting from your credit to "make room" for the next collection agency to appear. There is too much disorganization on credit files and one incident should be ONE incident, not a hundred.

  • Effective Taxes
    Alter federal taxes in two ways. First tax all income above $1 million at a flat rate, say 25% with graduated lower rates til then. Second, tax non-retirement protected wealth--financial holdings, real estate, etc. at say 1% a year, or perhaps less. Use the money to reduce the debt and to help local and State governments pay for the services they provide that are national in their benefits--e.g. education, crime reduction.

  • Recycle Wastewater Using Algae
    Cities use sewage treatment plants to deal with it, secondary effluent, solids removed is great algae food that's why at the North Lake Tahoe plant they've fully recycled wastewater to prevent algae blooms. But that's expensive, flocking chemicals are used to pull the fertilizer out of the water, so if you use algae instead they take longer but do a better job making a final treatment relatively cheap to fully recycle the water. Then, if you harvest that algae it's worth about 2-gallons of biodiesel per person on the system per day, so each of us on a treatment plant system is worth about 2-gallons of a biofuel per day. The USA burns through about 474-million gallons a day of all types of transportation fuels with 300-million people that's 1.58-gallons per person per day to show the potential volume of purifying wastewater with algae. For cities they have to watch for toxins and such but if not there the pressed cakes of algae are proving to be good fertilizer for certain crops, early tests in Egypt show a huge 25% jump in wheat yields an example. So, this establishes from existing local infrastructure a high-volume source of a biofuel, recycles the water and produces a high-volume fertilizer. An example is Phoenix, AZ, and nearby superbowl Glendale each produce 10-million gallons a day, 41.5-million pounds of fertilizer the algae must consume and doing that they consume CO2 and give off O2 to grow, then worth some 3-million gallons a day of biodiesel each city. However, the key issue is recycling the water, not making the fuel which is simple, recycling the water means keeping up with millions of gallons a day in volume, a more difficult task.

  • Voter polling
    In Greece, by law there can be no voter polling within two weeks prior to an election. I think that is a good idea, and should be the law here also for all elections for office at all levels of government.

  • Tell Mayor Bloomberg to stop discriminating against young minorities!
    New York City police are violating the U.S. constitution about 800,000 times a year. They have a policy which allows them to pat down innocent minority youths for " looking suspicious". Last I checked, the constitution said that you had the right to be free from unreasonable search and seizure.
