  • New York State Legislature: Follow the Fair Redistricting Rules You Have Agreed On
    Legislative districts determine who represents us and the boundaries of the districts. A bi-partisan committee of New York State’s legislators are currently holding hearings on the redistricting that occurs every 10 years following the census results. They have passed a resolution for sensible districts but it won't go into effect until after 2020! Now they are trying to "run out the clock" for this process in an effort to protect incumbents.

  • Ban Political Ads
    Political ads cost millions of dollars to spread misinformation, exagerations and quotes out of context. The public hates them. The televised debates provide what we need to know about the candidates. So, why not call for a ban on political advertisement, similar to the ban on tobacco advertisement? Fellow citizens, please demand an end to all political ads.

  • Comcast: Allow Customers to Choose Channels Cheaper
    Millions of people are not given choices as to what channels they want to watch and end up paying for numerous channels they don't watch at the discretion of Comcast. I believe I am at the mercy of Comcast in having to pay expensive monthly service fees for channels that I never watch nor care to watch. Why can't this company say they will provide channels at $2.00 a month and we can choose our stations and charges. I don't have any experience with dish TV but they are the probably similar. It seems ludicrous that if I want to enjoy cable TV, I have to accept these outrageous charges for channels I don't watch. Policymakers in Washington, please help us (especially those on fixed incomes) to direct cable companies to provide affordable, sensible consumer specific services.

To table the Demographic Survey in it's regards to close our historic SW Atlanta schools. 2.

To ensure that all high schools have intact feeder patterns. 6. To recommend that the closing of any schools in SW Atlanta or building of any new schools in North Atlanta are tabled until we fully use all the facilities in APS we currently have. 7. To increase the level of rigor and instruction with all school programs so parents will send their children to their neighborhood schools and not across town. 8. To ensure that all school structures are safe. 9. To ensure that schools offer summer and after school programs or work in conjunction with local YMCA's in the neighborhoods. 10. To ensure that equality for all schools is reached to it's highest potential and that we aren't solely dependent on one area of the city for success & we look to all schools of APS to be successful.

  • SC Government: Stop the Assault on Voting Rights
    Background: The Voter Photo ID law was the first assault on voter rights in SC - that's the law the US Dept of Justice recently blocked and Governor Haley just vowed to fight for in federal court. She's taking a controversial law that already costs ~$1million, and committing another estimated $1million in legal fees (1). That's double-or-nothing gambling, with our (taxpayer) money on the line. And yet, there still are no documented cases of voter impersonation in SC - not a one. Now, certain members of the State House of Representatives are doubling their assault on voter rights by introducing legislation that will restrict voter registration drives (2). One proposed bill targets non-profits, teachers and volunteers who help others register to vote. House Bill 4549 would add cumbersome requirements for community-based voter registration (with fines up to $1000 for not meeting them). The similar law in FL caused the League of Women Voters and Rock-the-Vote to suspend all voter registration drives. Teachers in FL have been fined just for helping their students register to vote. We don't need or want that in SC. This bill (H. 4549), also called the "Third Party Voter Registration" act (3) will cause community-based voter registration drives to be a thing of the past if it passes. If you agree that's not good for our democracy, please sign today. (1) "State's Lawsuit Over Voter ID Could Cost $1 Million", Renee Dudley, Post and Courier, January 29, 2012. (2) "Lawmakers Eye 2 More Strict Voting Rules", Robert Behre, Post and Courier, January 29, 2012. (3) The lead sponsor of H.4549 is Rep. Alan Clemmons (R-Myrtle Beach), who also sponsored the controversial Voter Photo ID bill. (4) "The War on Democracy," Will Moredock, Charleston City Paper, Feb 15, 2012 (5) "Vote on Voter Drive Bill Set for Today," Robert Behre, Post and Courier, Feb 21, 2012 (NOTE: they adjourned the vote until Tuesday, Feb 28, 2012)

  • Arizona State: Stop censoring change.org!
    Arizona State student Eric Haywood started a petition on Change.org protesting the college's high tuition fees. In response, Arizona State has now blocked access to all of Change.org! Censoring students Internet access is outrageous -- especially when it's blocking something of key public interest. A huge public outcry will force Arizona State to reverse their policy and let people visit Change.org again. Sources: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/josh-levy/arizona-state-censors-cha_b_1253155.html

  • No more Wall Street waivers. Ever.
    The SEC routinely grants waivers to large companies Wall Street companies who break laws and regulations. 1 Regular people don't get waivers if they break a law. 2 Unequal enforcement of the law is not a free-market, it's crony capitalism. The SEC should not have the authority to issue such waivers, they should just enforce the laws and regulations.
