• Ask the UW-Madison Administration to Modify Student ID Cards
    Currently, most student identification cards, including those issued by the University of Wisconsin-Madison, are not compliant with 2011 Wisconsin Act 23, commonly known as the Voter ID law. The Administration could modify our ID cards to make them valid for voting purposes. We're asking them to move on this issue as soon as possible, so that students will have fewer obstacles to voting in the spring 2011 elections.

  • amendment to allow only public financing of all federal elections
    As a result of the Citizens United U.S. Supreme Coust decision it will take a Constitutional amendment to get special interest money out of our federal elections. We must do this in order to to keep our politicians and elections free of the bribes proferred by wealthy individuals, corporations and PACs in their efforts to influence every decision most of elected representatives make.

  • Level the Playing Field for New Mexico Businesses.
    New Mexico's tax code favors multi-state coporations over our local businesses. We are the last Western state with a corporate tax that allows multi state companies to shift profits earned in New Mexico to a state like Delaware which has no corporate tax. Requiring "unitary combined reporting" would level the playing field for New Mexico businesses and recoup lost revenues that are needed for our schools, healthcare and public safety.

  • Elect Maine's Governor by Instant Runoff Election (Ranked Choice Voting)
    Paul LePage would never have become governor if we were allowed to vote by ranking candidates in order of preference. Most of the votes for Libby Mitchell would have gone to Eliot Cutler or vice versa, and one of them would have won. Within the past few years, instant run-off voting (IRV) has been successfully used in several municipal elections across the nation. IRV enables one to vote for his/her true first choice, while indicating a second and third choice candidate. In the event that no candidate garners 50% plus one vote, the candidate with the least number of votes is eliminated, and voters who ranked that candidate first have their votes recast to their second choice candidate. This process is repeated until one candidate garners 50% plus one vote. IRV avoids sequential run-off elections and enables the voter to cast a "single transferable vote," ensuring that the winning candidate has a majority.
