The Gulf of Maine is one of the only "great waters" in America to be ignored by Congress. Great Lakes, Chesapeake Bay, Long Island Sound and many others have federal restoration programs and a line item in the federal budget to provide additional $100's millions every year for clean water and fish and wildlife habitat. Gulf of Maine has an established $20 billion need--and we have a Plan, but we need our Senators to take the lead in creating a Gulf of Maine Restoration Program Office and appropriating funds accordingly.

Scott Davis was convicted of a "crime" which never even happened, in a series of Constitutional violations perpetrated at the behest of, and by, Attorney General Tom Corbett. The President DOES have the power to act on behalf of Scott Davis, as requested - and time is of the essence. Scott Davis is innocent, and should be exonerated and pardoned and compensated for damages by Executive orders of President Obama. This would benefit hundreds of individuals adversely affected by Corbett's hoax, and would be good for America.

Simplicity and clarification of credit card agreements. Remove the confusing, unnecessary and unclear terminology from legal documents. Force banks and lending agencies to adopt a simple, single page credit card agreement form that everyone can understand. The document should be similar to the Siegel & Gale simplified credit card agreement (http://www.siegelgale.com/pdf/Siegel+Gale_Introduces_a_Simple_One-Page_Credit%20Card%20Agreement%20That%20Anyone%20Can%20Understand.pdf)

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.
