• 1% Of Defense to Education Petition
    That is the premise of this movement which seeks to take 1% of the budgets of various departments to support projects and initiatives targeting areas of society which are lacking including education, high education, social services, mental health, homelessness, etc. The targeted departments should be those which are highly funded and yet can survive with a minimal cut of no more than 1%. These departments should be so funded that %1 or a penny on the dollar shouldn’t cripple or adversely affect them (i.e. defense, foreign aid, entitlements, drug enforcement, etc).

  • FDR's Second Bill of Rights
    There are too many issues affecting the lives of the American People to continue with our "patch-up" politics. We don't just need new laws, new debates, and new conversations; we need to rebuild from the core out. Franklin D. Roosevelt, a true American hero and one of the greatest United States Presidents in our great nation's history saw the state of the Union for what it truly is: under attack. He had the foresight and the courage to do what politicians today don't dare to do: he dismissed big business and big money and acted in the best interest of the nation's people to devise a second Bill of Rights to protect our economic rights from becoming corporate property. Now, when we and most of the rest of the world are facing the fight of our lives, the fight for liberty and justice within a global economy, we are more in need of the ratification of President Roosevelt's wisdom than ever.

  • RESTORE THE RIGHT OF FEDERAL REVIEW
    This Petition is to restore the right of federal review which Congress stole from the American People by way of the Supreme Court Case Selection Act of 1988. In this legislation, Congress amended 28 USC 1257(a) and took the "right of appeal" to the U.S. Supreme Court to compel review from the highest decision of a State Court which infringed upon rights, privileges and immunity protected by the Constitution and Laws of the United States.

  • Cut the Chord on the Bloated Insurance Industry
    Unfair Insurance Practices (rating clients based on credit scores). Because consumers have no real voice. Left at the mercy of rabid insurance opportunists - we are victimized for declining net worth at a time when we can least afford it. It impacts you everyday - in the bottom line costs for goods, services...

  • Stop Gerrymandering
    75% of politicians in Washington DC and in many of the states are protected from being defeated fairly in elections due to the (criminal in my view) practice of Gerrymandering. Some are so ludicrous they defy all sense of logic to the electorate. This needs to stop, even if it takes a change or two on the Supreme Court.

  • Home Owner Bail Out / Compensate
    Taxpaying residents who are in process or lost their homes due to forclosure. Many of us applied for programs to save our homes and lost them anyway, because we were deemed not eligible for home mortgage bailout, loss mitigation, hardship bailout, deed in leiu of forclosure and short sale programs.

  • Legalize Marijuana
    Legalizing marijuana, like dropping alcohol prohibition, will free law enforcement for other functions. Legalizing will create jobs, and tax income, and drop the number of families ruined by possession, and property confiscation. Legalization will reduce prison populations. Each individual not incarcerated will save over $40,000 per year which could go into educational programs. Use and sale of marijuana should not be a crime, there are no victims..

    Our service men and women are coming home to a very tight job market. These are proven workers; they follow direction well; they're young and strong and very capable. We owe them respect and opportunity.They should be offered jobs restoring our country's infrastructure. This could be part of their service or part of a program sponsored and paid for with grants to private companies hiring our veterans.
