• Ban credit screening of jobseekers
    The credit rating of millions of Americans has been destroyed by the ongoing economic crisis. In most cases, a poor credit rating is the direct result of unemployment, home foreclosure, or other devastating financial setbacks beyond our control. Now employers use those credit ratings to refuse us employment. How can we recover if we can’t work? Make it against the law to use credit ratings as the basis for not hiring any person. A few missed payments or even a foreclosure has nothing to do with our abilities and skills. Give us the chance to restore our credit and America’s economy.

  • Straight Talk About Election Issues
    The candidates are not debating the authentic long term issues which will influence the opportunities and life quality of every American family: U.S. worldwide economic competition, nuclear proliferation, pollution, education and foreign relations. Our foreign relations are decaying, our educational competitiveness is declining, air and water quality are under attack and absolute crazy men are getting control of weapons that could snuff out all human, animal and plant life on earth.

  • Justice For Flint Farmer
    Police Officer Gildardo Sierra shot and killed my son, Flint Farmer, who was unarmed and lying on his stomach already shot and wounded.

  • We need our President to lead the fight for justice starting in Wisconsin.
    We need to put pressure on President Obama to go to Wisconsin, along with sending the Vice President to help his party on the ground in Wisconsin to secure this very important election, the removal of Governor Walker.The momentum that can be gained should not be lost due to a lack of effort at the national level. Now the time to come together.

  • Don't put Monsanto in charge of hunger programs in Africa
    President Obama is inviting Monsanto to oversee Africa’s food security. Monsanto's primary goal is not anybody’s food security but their own bottom line. Monsanto grabs millions of acres of land for monoculture plantations that destroy local biodiversity. Monsanto develops the terminator seeds that hold farmers hostage to the seed patent rights of corporations. Monsanto is the inventor of chemical fertilizers that worsen climate change and have threatened the health of millions of people around the globe.

  • Ban War Profiteering
    We need a constitutional amendment to ban U.S. manufacturers from making a profit on weapons of war. It is important to remove this incentive from weapons manufacturers to discourage them from hiring lobbyists that entice our representatives to perpetuate wars. Our young men and women's lives are sacrificed in the name of profits. Congress needs to rely on other means to resolve our differences with other countries.

  • Step Therapy FAILS Us!
    Take a New York minute and make your NY voices heard on an important health care issue that impacts our ability to receive the most suitable treatments. Let your NYS Legislators know that Step Therapy/First Fail protocol delays patient access to medications, creates more obstacles for patients and physicians to overcome, denies continuity of care, and FAILS all of us.

  • Stop taxing Social Security.
    Taxing SS payments just because a moderate amount was taken from an IRA is morally wrong and should be ended. If congress and the administration truly wants to make life easier for seniors and disabled, stop stealing from them.

  • Stop the filibuster
    The filibuster has been misused to prevent a majority in the senate from legislating. It is a misuse of the process. It should be altered in such way as to be difficult to use, or better yet, eliminated. It is anti-democratic

  • Mute the Negative Republican Ads from the Super Pacs
    We have already become indoctrinated with the negative lies from the Republicans about President Obama and the Democratic Party. When these commercials are aired, MUTE THEM ON YOUR TELEVISION. Reform the spending from the Super Pacs on television ads by not listening to the negativity and lessening their impact.

  • America: Honor your treaties!
    America has never honestly or sincerely honored it's treaties with First Nations people. From the first to the most recent, they have been deceitful, duplicitous agreements designed to augment and obscure the theft of land and resources. They have all suffered in our collective name, and this is wrong- and can be addressed with more than "sorry".
