• Stop debtors prision
    Several states now allow people to be jailed for debts. A great lead story on this came up today about a woman being jailed for a $280 medical bill she didn't really owe. Not only did she not get an apology she went to jail and had to pay $600. Outrageous doesn't cover it.

  • Repeal the 17th Amendment
    Whereas, the Founding Fathers created a Congress with a House of Representatives to represent the people and a Senate to represent the States, the States now have no representation in the Federal Government and the they are being forced to bear burdens for which they have no representation, it is therefore necessary to restore the Senators as representatives of the States. Whereas, the 17th Amendment was added to the constitution in 1913, in 1917, which is the four years necessary for a majority of the Senators to no longer be representatives of the States, they voted for President Wilson to turn a European war into World War I by allowing him to declare war on Germany. This and the other Wars encouraged by the Senate is more than enough justification to show the need for repealing the 17th Amendment.

  • Tell the President not to speak in Bank of America park
    President Obama should not accept his nomination for re-election as planned in Bank of America park in Charlotte, NC. This would send a signal to this major culprit of our financial crisis that we will not put up with their practices anymore.

  • Justice for Jasmine
    16-year-old African American, was shot and killed while in her mother's front yard in Chadbourn, North Carolina. The 23-year-old Caucasian male who fired the fatal shot from the house across the street was taken in for questioning, but he has not been charged with a crime of any kind. Because he claims it was an accident, the police let him go—despite the fact that he admits he fired the shot and police found a Confederate flag and Nazi literature in his home

  • I Want a Healthy Energy Supplement Choice Available on Campus!
    With so many options within the realm of Energy products, wouldn't it make sense for the college campus stores to provide choices, which were actually healthy for their students? Instead of the high caffeine and sugar laden drinks which are currently available, there are healthy, energy-boosting, vitamin supplements which utilize antioxidants and amino acids to boost energy, enhance brain alertness, and improve immune health. Healthy energy products are the best long-term study aids available! Please ask UC Berkeley Cal Dining to make healthier energy supplement choices available.

  • Affirmative action for people over 50
    The protected categories for federal contractors include sex, race, veterans & Hispanic surname. Statistics show that people over 50 are spending more than twice as long between jobs as the youngest members of the job pool, with the amount of time between jobs going up steadily with age. There is an assumption that older people or more experienced people are more expensive, but this is not necessarily true. Older job applicants need protection. If being over 50 were added to the protected classes for federal contractors, this would be a first step.

  • JUSTICE FOR JASMIN
    An African American young female is shot and killed by a white boy who claims it was an accident. Why wasn't he arrested? Why wasn't he charged and let a jury of his peers decide his innocence or guilt? What kind of world are we living in that every time you open the newspaper or turn on the news, an african american is being killed by a caucasion and not charged or arrested, but if this was a white female killed in front of her home by a black male he would have been arrested, charged and 95% convicted of something!
