Romney has a character flaw: He is the very example of a BULLY.

In our recent history several members of Congress have been convicted of crimes yet still receive the fringe benefits of that office. I propose a simple Petition that states, "any member of congress convicted of a felony forfeits any and all benefits of that office".

The only way the 99% can change legislation is by petition and protest. All corporations have to do is hire someone to wine, dine and gift a legislator under the disguise of junkets, super PACS, and huge corporate donations. We ask President Obama to level the playing field by outlawing professional lobbyists so the Corporations have to get their way the same way the 99% do.

Three local neighbors spent months trying to see an end to celebratory gunfire through deployment of gunfire location technology. After months of work, those same neighbors need five minutes of your time to give this technology the best possible chance at deployment. Our NPU Public Safety Chair (Ron Lall) sent out an email two weeks ago discussing an initiative to launch ShotSpotter gunshot location technology in Atlanta. This technology is capable of detecting the source of gunfire within inches, and allows distinguishing between actual gunfire events and other sounds which mimic gunfire, such as fireworks. Technical info is available at www.shotspotter.com and a short video explaining the technology is here: http://youtu.be/V28UMrWGARk In short, Councilmember Julian Bond proposed an ordinance that would allow for funding of the ShotSpotter technology in Atlanta. This is exacly what we need to isolate where gunfire is coming from and allow APD to respond to the exact site of gunfire incidents. This ordinance was held recently and is up for discussion with all involved parties and NOW is the time to request support from our representatives! If it bothers you that we can't tell the difference between gunfire and fireworks, that our APD officers waste time driving around in circles trying to locate a possible gunfire event, or that we can't prove where gunfire is coming from with any certainty, please take a moment to help:

Since the senate have refused to pass the Buffet Bill- I say we the people vote on it instead, Senators are often quite wealthy & between this conflict of interest & rich lobbyists, there would be little hope that it would pass anyway. So why don't the 99% help to pass a federal bill that needs to happen. What we lack in funding [$$$] we make up for in numbers.

Do you know someone who wants to go solar—but they can’t because they live in an apartment, they rent, or their house is shady? Ever think it would be cool to own a ‘share’ in a community solar array down the street, on a parking lot or maybe on the roof of a local school? Well, the DC Council has introduced a bill that would make that possible! It is called the Community Renewables Act of 2012. The legislation, if its passed would allow anyone who pays an electric bill in DC – to virtually net meter solar output—anywhere in DC-- to their bill. Right now--people who own homes or buildings can install solar--this new law would let anyone in DC go solar! It is only fair!

Getting new laws enacted that would start to changemthmbusiness as ususl...and get the truth out there

To truly represent their constituents, elected representatives to the federal Senate and House of Representative must share the lives of the citizens. The financial affairs of Senators and Congresspeople must be transparent and annually audited and the results posted on-line. They must not be exempt from any law they make in regard to privilege of office, taxes or spending cuts.
