Each year, thousands of teens and young adults fall victim to some type of assault, either physical or sexual in nature. Date rape, dating violence, and abductions are rampant in America, from small towns to urban areas across the country. I propose legislation including instruction in public schools on recognizing the potential for violence to occur in a relationship, gaining self-respect and confidence to deal with these situations, and having the ability to protect themselves should they find themselves victims to violence.

We need to get the Citizens United decision overturned. This decision has opend the flood gates of money that can change an election by 'buying it' as what happened in Wisconsin. This decision will completely shut the door on people who WANT to bring change, but cannot compete because of outside money. If this continues... very simply put, the 'wealthiest' will have their representation, and 'working poor' as they are called now, will be left behind. Is that what our Founding Fathers wanted?...Is this OUR democracy?? I don't think so?...and as long as I have oxygen in my lungs, I will not stay silent when I see people 'buying' power in our country!. The right wing agenda has pointed out since this decision that the unions of the country, (what's left of them) can pour money into politics too...However, if anyone has paid attention, union membership in the private sector is almost disapated, the public unions are trying to hang on to what they have. However they cannot compete with the outside private $$$. If this continues, the right will have everything they have wanted, while the rest of us get 'scraps'. This is the most critical issue in our country... GET MONEY OUT!..OR LIMIT IT... to level the field. It should be about a candidates record/performance and qualifications, not how much money he can raise. Something has to be done, otherwise it will forever change the United States as we know it.

Florida Atlantic University has taken a severe $25 million budget cut. Classes have been cut and would-be graduating seniors have postponed graduation because of these cancellations and interruptions of services.

It is time to lift the cap on social security. Currently people in higher income brackets pay Social Security only on the bottom part of their income. They have taken away our pensions, worked to dismantal unions, and suggested we turn the Social Security Trust Fund to Wall Street in order to be "business friendly." It is time for our return government to being for all the people, not just those who make over $250,000.

A more pure democracy is possible with 100% public financing of every electoral campaign in the United States of America. Make the dire problem of the Citizens United sell-out and every lobby that does not represent an individual moot. Make them useless. Take away the re-election bank accounts from access by anyone but voters! True representative democracy has never existed, but it is possible if our 28th Amendment reads Public Financing of All Election Campaigns. My money my politician!

Cites a TED talk that was inappropriately pulled by TED curator for being too political, when in fact it's just about economics that conservative politician don't like. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=bBx2Y5HhplI

PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO GET MARRIED AND HAVE A LIFE WITHOUT HAVING BENEFITS TAKEN AWAY OR REDUCED

My name is Myrna, from Kingston, New York. I am a low-wage worker, making just over the minimum wage. It's impossible to make ends meet. I wait until 5pm to go grocery shopping, because I can get bread at a discount. I just hope I can provide a better future for my daughter. The minimum wage in New York is just $7.25/hr. That's just over $15,000 a year. That's a poverty wage, and no family in New York should have to survive on it. My family, like hundreds of thousands of low wage workers across New York, deserves a raise. Governor Cuomo has proved he can get his priorities done in Albany. Now Governor Cuomo should show that he cares about low-income families like mine, and not just about the demands of big corporations. When gambling bigwigs showed up with big contributions for the Committee to Save New York, Gov. Cuomo listened. Low-wage families don't have millions of dollars. But we need Gov. Cuomo's help too. The Assembly has passed a bill to raise the minimum wage. But it will take Governor Cuomo's leadership to pass it in the Senate.
