The steps at my old complex I thought were perfectly fine until the middle of one broke and I went falling down the stairs. I ended up not able to walk without a brace on my foot for more than 6months. The owner's brushed me off and told me that there insurance would take care of it, but did not offer any information. This is when I called and got a lawyer involved. I also took my doctor's advice and had an outside company come in and inspect my dwelling. The inspector noticed immediately mold growing behind my walls in the bathroom and pointed out a hole that showed the mold eating the wall. He also pointed out sections of the wall that had been replaced prior to me moving in that had been painted over. There was also a defective seal at the base of the toilet that was defective and leaking under the floor. High concentrations of 2/3 toxic black molds and a low concentration of the third. The city of Oakland specialty/combination services came to the property and noted several violations. But since I am now currently in litigation,the city would only fine the owners until certain repairs are completes. Problem with that is the city wont take my outside agency report and wont send there own people to investigate all of the owners properties. They wont even make him notify the other tenents in the building where I was living that they could be living within toxic conditions related to owners failure to keep his property safe. Owner's of rental properties should by law be required to have an inspection every year to maintain a safe living environment for individuals and families and children and elderly. Prevention is a risk reward that in the end is really a win win for everybody. No one else's child should have to have 2 inhalers,air purifier,humidifier,just to sleep because the property owner hid problems with the apartment I ended up renting from him. My son will be 2 in July and I still tell him I'm sorry because I didn't see what was purposefully hidden from me. Maybe if when I give the landlord 1st last; security; and months rent; he should give me a form that says when the establishment last had an inspection.

Legalize marijuana/cannabis for any person over the age of 21. Make cannabis/marijuana legally accessible to curtail the black market and the gang wars taking place in southwestern U.S., but affecting the whole country. Replace with facts the untruths spread by the government to keep their drug agencies flowing with money from innocent people through asset forfeiture. Tax and regulate like alcohol but still allow for personal cultivation with no limitations on amounts grown. Allow for hemp crops to be grown in the U.S. and replace big oil. Anything that crude oil can make the cannabis/marijuana plant can provide and them some. Here is a way for unregistered voters to let their voice be heard.

Lets eliminate the Electoral College. With modern technology we don't need the middle man anymore. The Electoral College no longer serves a purpose other than to muddy the election process and make some states more important than others.

It seems unconstitutional that indivduals have been denied the right to pursue happiness when their cases are dependent upon on them remaining in stressful living arrangements while litigious participants prolong the process. Legal staff recognize them, but the judicial machine is financially supported by these costly and frivolous motions. Families are kept in limbo and abusive individuals are allowed a forum for continued abuse. There must be a cap on the time and cost it takes to get a stipulation of settlement. Perhaps a percentage formula can be instituted in the law! One that addresses a cap on a divorce for certain income ranges, as well as new discussion about child support and factors such as comparable incomes between ex- spouses and the residence of the children.

Medical insurance brokers should be shut down. They are taking all the money from doctors and people like me who try to stay well, yet pay exorbitant monthly fees just in case something bad might happen. If everyone stopped paying for their policies, the brokers would go broke. That's the first step towards affordable medical care.

Constitutional rights to freedom of religion may be at risk of dilution unless we carefully draw up laws or amendments intended to extend rights to individuals and groups. Both can be accommodated in regard to gay marriage much the same as objections to abortion are granted to individuals and churches. Providers of products and services must not have to choose between their jobs and consciences.
