53.6 percent of all new college graduates are either underemployed or completely unemployed. Recognizing that new companies, commonly referred to as startups, are responsible for all net job creation in the United States, entrepreneurship education must become a key part of higher education strategies. Next week, Professor Ken McLeod will talk to President Stenger about establishing an Independent Entrepreneurship Institute at Binghamton University, so that students of all years and majors have the opportunity to learn about innovation and entrepreneurship as a path to success. We are calling on President Stenger to seize this opportunity and create the next generation of innovators that will restore the Southern Tier to greatness and thrust Binghamton University into national prominence.

As income levels rise, marginal propensity to consume tends to drop. To stimulate economic demand and support individual prosperity, this proposes an equitable SLIDING tax scale on ALL income.

URGENT! Stop the banking lobby and the California Chamber of Commerce from blocking the CA Homeowner Bill of Rights. WHAT DOES THE CALIFORNIA HBR DO? In response to the foreclosure crisis, CA Attorney General Kamala Harris and key state Assemblypersons and Senators have put the California Homeowner Bill of Rights (HBR) on the legislative agenda. The “Bill of Rights” is a package of bills to give greater protection to homeowners facing foreclosure, to neighborhoods and municipalities impacted by the wave of foreclosures, and to tenants living in foreclosed properties. We need to show support for this legislative initiative quickly and effectively. The Banking Lobby has already moved to table the legislation in Committee. REASON #1 TO SUPPORT HBR: California is the hardest hit of all fifty states by foreclosures. It is estimated that there will be 2 million homes that have been foreclosed upon in California by the end of this year, with one-third of homeowners currently “underwater” financially, were they must pay more to the banks on their homes than what they are worth. REASON #2 TO SUPPORT HBR: As an example of fraudulent bank behavior, San Francisco Assessor Phil Ting has documented that 84% of all foreclosures in SF County are based on documents that are suspect or fraudulent. This is typical across the state and nationally, as documented in the government's own HUD report. The requirement that the banks provide legal foreclosure documentation and other common sense and fair measures in the California Homeowners Bill of Rights, would likely reduce the foreclosure rate in California by over 75 percent, as has happened in Nevada where a similar package of foreclosure abatement laws have passed. The bill also provides for more effective criminal enforcement against mortgage and foreclosure-related fraud. The CALIFORNIA HOMEOWNER BILL OF RIGHTS is a set of homeowner-friendly bills that can protect millions of California homeowners and communities state-wide from fraudulent banking practices, if passed by the Legislature. Stop the banking lobby and the Chamber of Commerce from blocking HBR. BELOW IS A SUMMARY OF THE LEGISLATIVE PACKAGE COMPRISING THE CA HOMEOWNER BILL OF RIGHTS: 1)
 Basic standards of fairness in the mortgage process, including an end to foreclosure document fraud, such as "robo-signing" and false notarizations and a stop to unsuspected "dual-track" foreclosures when still in compliance with another bank representative. 2) Transparency in the mortgage process, including a single point of contact for homeowners. 3) Community tools to prevent blight after banks foreclose upon homes. 4) Tenant protections after foreclosures. 5) Enhanced law enforcement to defend homeowner rights - paid for by fees imposed on banks. 6) A special grand jury to investigate financial and foreclosure crime.

Consider signing this petition and then forward to a minimum of twenty people on your address list; in turn ask each of those to do likewise. In three days, most people in The United States of America will have the message. This is one idea that really should be passed around. _*Congressional Reform Act of 2012*_ 1. No Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman/woman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they're out of office. 2. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security. All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose. 3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do. 4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%. 5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people, that is to include having Medicare and Medicaid. 6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people. 7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void effective 12/31/12. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen/women. Congressmen/women made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and back to work. If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people then it will only take three days for most people (in the U.S. ) to receive the message. Don't you think it's time? THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS! If you agree with the above, pass it on. If not, just delete. You are one of my 20+ - Please keep it going, and thanks.

I have tolerated but not gotten used to the Super Pacs and their Rhetoric ads on Politics and was shocked to see the latest attack ads paid for by the US Chamber of Commerce. I remember the Chamber of Commerce as an entity developed to help broaden the networking base of local and national businesses not to endorse political views. In my opinion, the US Chamber of Commerce could find more productive uses for it's members dues. For instance, sponsoring Employment Job Fairs would help the US Chamber members to higher employees suited to their needs and put job seekers in front of strong community businesses looking to hire. Sign up and share this effort to show the US Chamber of Commerce that we American Citizens have no patience or tolerance for their inappropriate use of funds! Thank you very much!

It is meant to get the attention of those that prohibit Americans from the medical benefits that marijuana (has proven to the world) is able and can help ppl deal with illnesses and cure other illnesses in some cases. I ask this, if one plant is banned even knowing it has helpful properties. Then every plant used by Americans should be as well. We cant openly use plants if a plant that has medical benefits is banned. All planets should in fair turn be banned for human use and or consumption. Make it pass. Cause the only option left is to legalize all plants with medical benefits. Its the only easy to do what the Government refuses to do. Protect its people.
