President Obama recently put forward his New Alliance for Food Security and Nutrition, a plan to improve agriculture in poor countries through private investment from companies like Monsanto and Cargill. The problem is that these companies claim that through Genetically Engineered (GE) seeds and crops they can end hunger, but GE food has been around for more than two decades and hunger is still rampant in many parts of the world where the technology washas been used. Top researchers confirm that the results of genetic engineering are unpredictable. This is why unexpected harmful substances may appear in GE food. This is important because about 70% of the food in supermarkets is GE and consumers don't even know it. Now this technology is going to be spread in parts of Africa, starting with Tanzania, Ghana, and Ethiopia. The leaders from the three countries attended the G8 conference and were eager for the investment. But they may be putting profit ahead of public interest by ignoring the needs of their small scale farmers in their home countries. GE has wreaked havoc in India and been boycotted in France, Brazil, Spain and Argentina, just to name a few. The people in those countries didn't want GE in their countries and now lawmakers are rethinking their decision. The lawmakers in Africa don't have an option because their countries are impoverished and they need all the help they can get, but not thorugh a destructive product and a damaged environment.

Politicians offering free money in exchange for votes is stupid but popular. That collapsed the economy in 2007. Politicians bribed voters by promising lower taxes that came from eliminating federally-funded depression-era education reform (No Child Left Behind). The dropout rate exploded but runaway inflation provided employment in construction and real estate until 2007. The Patriot Act allowed states to outlaw Mexicans, so about 1.7 million left between 2007 and 2010. The resulting housing abandonment collapsed the construction and real estate industries, resulting in an unemployment boom. Freedom of Speech in the First Amendment does not guarantee the right of wealth people to freely lie to the public with no oversight in order to do these kinds of things.

Comparing the status of the New York City subway system to many international models, there is much work we could do to clean the subway areas, and replace old models with newer, quieter, faster ones. This would highly improve the infrastructure of New York, an extremely international city, in an area that has been neglected for far too long.

We demand that The Chamber of Commerce either stop funding and laundering 100's of millions dollars each year for anti-labor, anti-middle class legislation and candidates. If not, we demand that businesses members of the Chamber who disagree with these policies drop out of the Chamber, or we pledge to target them as consumers and as pickets.

The news media has become so biased in not only how they slant news but also the news they choose to report. For example, the report very little about the Occupy Wallstreet movement. If we stop watching the news on TV and buying newspapers they will lose their advertisers.

My website has a link and many articles and several videos detailing how the Johnson Administration railroaded Abraham because he wanted to speak to the "Johnson Commission" about the incompetance of the Secret Service; the drinking, sexual relations while on duty and generally hatred of President Kennedy because they believed he was a "N" lover.

The senate has failed to pass a budget in over 3 years, if you fail at your job for 3 years you will not have a job, let alone a paycheck. The senate needs to come up with a budget that cuts spending and works to reduce the deficit. To think that only more taxes on people already paying taxes takes money from people who could use that money to spend and create jobs.

If Cuba were to acquire nuclear weapons of mass destruction right on our doorstep, then it would bring home the urgency of having to deal with this life threatening issue of national security over all other issues of the day. Then we would perhaps feel the urgency that our ally Israel feels every day to resolve the nuclear threat that is being imposed on it by Iran.
