The City of Elk Grove has our taxpayer dollars in Bank Of America. This is a company that has been sued for fraud multiple times for defrauding customers. All 50 states are investigating Bank Of America right now for mortgage fraud. Especially after the Citizens United ruling in 2010 giving corporations the same rights as people, I ask you this question: Would you trust your money with a friend or any person that has been litigated against for fraud? I think not. Let's send a message to The City of Elk Grove that we do not want to do business with companies under investigation or that have been sued.

Since the Personhood Initiative's failure on November 8, Governor Phil Bryant and the Mississippi legislature have threatened to trample the democratic will of Mississippians and pass Personhood through the legislature. It’s time for the voters of Mississippi to tell them once and for all: no means no. We do not want or need any form of Personhood legislation, whether that comes in the form of House Concurrent Resolution (HCR) 61 or Senate Concurrent Resolution (SCR) 555 -- any form of Personhood or pseudo-Personhood legislation is completely unacceptable and unwanted by the vast majority of Mississippians. *Stay tuned for a press conference and petition delivery date.

The Seventh Amendment right to an unbiased jury trial is as important as a citizen's right to vote. Yet, everyday working class citizens are denied this right when they level allegations of theft of their intellectual property against multimillionaire defendants. Government protection of the 99%, at our expense will no longer be tolerated!

There seems to be hope still … Although the President failed to show some backbone in vetoing the NDAA legislation!! Mark Udall, a member of the Senate Armed Services and Intelligence committees has joined Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein and a bipartisan group of his colleagues in introducing the Due Process Guarantee Act of 2011, to clarify that American citizens apprehended inside the United States cannot be indefinitely detained by the military. http://www.berthoudrecorder.com/2011/12/16/udall-co-sponsors-bipartisan-bill-to-prohibit-indefinite-detention-of-americans-without-trial-or-charge/ To read more on this issue go to this blog: http://cyclicantidotes.blogspot.com/ Contact your Senator: http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm

Pass the Presidents tax cuts and unemployment for next year

Tumblr has become slowly and increasingly stingy recently with the amounts of daily and hourly posts and messages that it allows its' members to make. This is our way of getting our posting limits either raised significantly or back to unlimited.

To pass this resolution into law so that corporations will not be considered as people. This resolution was passed in Los Angeles. The People’s fundamental and inalienable right to self-govern, and thereby secure rights to life, liberty, property, and the pursuit of happiness is guaranteed in the US Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, and;
 
 free and fair elections are essential to democracy and effective self-governance, and; 
 
 persons are rightfully recognized as human beings whose essential needs include clean air, clean water, safe and secure food, and;
 
corporations are not people....

bigotry, fear, racism, hate, stupidity

The corporate money unleashed onto our political process through the Citizens United decision from the Supreme Court is another nail in the coffin for our democracy. President Obama was right to call out The Court at the State of the Union address and Justice Alito was arrogant in his dismissal of it.

*Congressional Reform Act of 2011* 1. No Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they are out of office. 2. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security. All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose. 3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do. 4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%. 5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people. 6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people. 7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen are void effective 1/1/12. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen. Congressmen made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and back to work. If each person contacts a minimum of ten people then it will only take three days for most people (in the U.S.) to receive the message. Maybe it is time."You just pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election.
