Governor Quinn has made several proposals to change teacher pensions in Illinois! We believe Governor Quinn's proposals violate the Illinois constitution! We believe the proposals are not FAIR! Teachers have lived up to our TRS commitments—the state did not! "There they go again!" The Governor is focusing on cutting retired benefits not creating new revenue streams! Governor—the pension problem is a revenue problem—we need a graduated income tax. We need to close fat cat corporate loopholes! The governor's proposals will have a harmful impact on current teachers and make education a less attractive career for younger people. Teaching is a stressful career and burnout is a problem—these proposals will only increase the burnout potential. His proposal applies to active employees enrolled in the Teachers’ Retirement System (TRS) and the State Universities Retirement System (SURS). The proposal that the Governor outlined would be posed to members as a choice. The choice would be for members to choose this benefit package and receive their health insurance or for members to keep the pension benefit structure they currently are afforded but their future salary increases would not count toward their pension, and their health insurance benefits would be dramatically reduced or eliminated. Again, the details are minimal and the implications of many of these ideas have not been fully fleshed out by the governor.

Require all Supreme Court decisions to have a minimum of a 2 vote majority. NO MORE 5-4 political rulings. Minumum majority would be 6-3. Rulings should be based on the law NOT politics.

HTLV is a life threatening virus that has infected 35 million people worldwide, including half a million Americans. Azacytidine has been demonstrated as a potential cure for HTLV by the apparent clearance of the virus in a patient in Greece after 8 months of treatment.

Congressional representatives and Senators should not be allowed serve no more terms than a President. In doing so, this will remove a huge amount of corruption, cronyism and rascalism.

When a person writes a check, they are requesting their bank which holds a person's money, to pay a sum certain to another person (or entity). Sometimes banks violate the terms of the check by charging a service fee to follow the order. This violates the terms of the check. This is not the same as going to a bank that is not holding the funds.

We need more police on our streets why did we sun down the funding for the 100,000 new police officers from the Clinton years? It was a good idea then and a good idea now.

In November 2010, Congress with Speaker Boehner in charge passed a bill called Citizen's United which allows corporations to donate unlimited funds to political campaigns. Political contributions made by corporations were once entirely illegal as recently as the Nixon administration, now unbounded. Until we fix this problem, corporations will have the greater say in the election process, many of them not even American corporations.

End the failed trillion dollar War on Drugs. Before the War on drugs there were few drug problems. The WOD has had only negative results and at costs we cannot afford. Drug addiction is a medical problem and should be treated as such. Police actions only increase the price of drugs to the benefit of the drug cartels.

The radical right wing of the GOP in Congress is working to privatize the mail system; they are refusing to fund the US Post Office. If you like paying higher prices to send mail through FED EX and US POSTAL SERVICE, do nothing about the disappearance of an efficient, relatively inexpensive way to send and receive mail.
