• Support Mass Transit benefits!
    Federal tax law allows employees to use pre-tax dollars to pay for their commuting expenses. In 2012 the maximum tax-free discount to each employee for TRANSIT will be $125 per month, but for PARKING it is $240 per month!! This is a change from last year when congress had the levels equals for parking and transit. Commuters who use mass transit should get the same benefit as drivers!!!

  • TERM LIMITS
    Lawmakers in Congress and the Senate need term limits. There is too much corruption in Washington and our representatives should not be trying to figure out how to maintain their power. Their energy should be put into working on legislation that is good for their constituents.

  • Stop the failed war on drugs now!
    People are dying all over Mexico, due to the Cartels making so much money supplying illegal drugs. Prohibition Failed, so has the war on drugs. More people die from tobacco related Cancers every year, than from all illegal drugs combined. And the US is wasting over a billion a year on enforcement alone!!

  • Save Our Supplements and Demand the FDA Withdraw the NDI Draft Guidance!!
    We call on Congress to demand that the FDA summarily withdraws the NDI Draft Guidance and goes on the record stating that the agency will not, now or ever, review, consider, surveil or engage in enforcement activities according to the re-interpretation of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA) evident in its Guidance document but, instead, will honor the law that the American people gave to the FDA (via Congress) to uphold via regulation according to both the spirit, letter, and plain and intended meaning of DSHEA.

  • Reduction of elected officials salaries and perquisites
    Elected officials should be required to accept the same cuts in income the public are subjected to. If they are required to endure the same austerity we do it might get them to do some work.
