Defeat HB2570: The Health and Wellness of Hawaiian Residents Depends on It!

I pledge to Stay I pledge to Fight I pledge to Help The current proposed 2012-13 budget provides substantially less funds for the next school year, resulting in the loss of a classroom teacher and five para professionals. The school board does not vote on a finalized budget from the district administration until June, so there is time for our school board to deny the proposed cuts and choose to provide adequate funding to maintain our current staff.

Abortion Laws Do Not Give The Unborn Fetus The Right To Life. A Mother Does Not Have The Right to Protect Her Unborn Baby. A Battered Mother Cannot Claim It As A Defense From A Violent Attack From A Domestic Partner & Is Hidden From the Jury. The Lack of Understanding of the Battered Women Sydrome Defense Has Failed. Judges, Presecutors, and Defense Attorneys Do Not Understand How to Apply The Defense-Consequently, Mothers Are Receiving 25 Years To Life Instead of An Acquittal or Short Term Manslaughter Sentences. And Then They Are Robbed of the Very Children They Were Trying to Save In the First Place. Defense Should Not Be A Crime! Inspite of The Abortion Laws!

We want the State of Pennsylvania to increase funding to Philadelphia public schools. Our children are losing academic programs, school nurses, teachers, support staff, teacher's aides, custodians, and bus drivers all due to Governor Tom Corbett's budget cut to public schools. Without state funding our children will lose the opportunity to receive the education they deserve.

The proposed reduction of state income tax sounds great but once one reads the details it is not going to benefit any retirees which includes state, federal and military personnel. There is going to be lost revenue due to reduced tax rates and in order to recoup that revenue all "loopholes" in the form of all credits, deductions, and exclusions on personal income tax returns will be eliminated. Presently, most retirees have no state tax liability for retirement benefits and federal taxable social security income. The result of this legislation will cause immediate taxation of all retirement income for all retirees effective 1 Jan 2013.

Unlimited contributions from corporations, unions, and other organizations to political candidates harm the ability of average citizens to have a voice in their own government. Prior to the landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling of Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, unlimited independent expenditures from corporations and unions were prohibited. Now, corporations and unions can make unlimited independent expenditures supporting or opposing a candidate for office, and unless the U.S. Supreme Court changes this ruling, the only way to reverse the harmful effects of the decision is to amend the Constitution of the United States.

Begin aggressive efforts to put all clean AND renewable energy technologies on the table for immediate phasing in efforts that will discourage continued fossil fuel exploitation including drilling for oil, natural gas and mining of "clean" coal. The real clean renewable technologies should include solar, wind, hydrogen, geothermal, electromagnetic, anti-gravity and zero point energy alternatives.

The political and economic culture of the United States is in crises. Our political candidates and public discourse--ultimately, our public policy, laws, and legal enforcement--are being sold to the highest bidder. While Arabs shed blood for citizen involvement in government, the United States government is being sold to the highest private bidder. A tsunami of decisions to legalize social welfare for the rich--cumulatively, trillions of dollars in subsidies, bailouts, and tax breaks to the wealthiest human and corporate citizens--has "trickled down" as national debt. Repayment of the debt is literally coming from the life force of millions of W2 workers who don't have opportunity to claim deductions like those available to the wealthiest Americans and to corporate America. As stewards of United States citizens, the government must not become a tax-collecting, law making, law enforcing agent for the super rich. (We do not include local businesses and the local Chamber of Commerce here, as they are accountable to their local community.) Our concern is for the government's increasing collusion with the wealthiest Americans and the largest corporations, benefiting private interests with tax dollars. Our tax dollars are offered (or extorted) from the government in sums unimaginable to most Americans, with few conditions and little accountability attached. This trend is shifting resource to fuel a global Aristocracy: a modern wave of powerful, profit-motivated, self-interest organizations that use state and national governments to advance private interests. As elected representatives at the state and federal level, we ask that you become conscious and intentional with every decision you make. Consider many generations to come before taking a position or committing to a faction with your vote. Vote on behalf of every beloved citizen of this Country, whether rich or poor, and help us regenerate and secure our United States.
