• Mr. President - Investigate the Troy Davis murder!
    The State of Georgia and the U.S. Supreme Court have cooperated in the murder of Troy Davis. Now President Obama should appoint a special investigator from the Justice Department to determine why Georgia and the Supreme Court ignored the facts and world leaders and drove ahead with killing Troy Davis.

  • Health care should be accessible to everyone.
    The problems in health care are rooted not only in the real cost of the service itself, but in the doctor's culture of charging astronomical sums for simple regular visits and exaggerated, threatening misdiagnosing. Health care expenses are out of control of the society, Congress and common sense. In order to halt the rising cost of health care, a principal reform of the sphere must be carried out. The essence of the approach should be the revision of the objectives of the health care itself and principles of its operation and pay. We need to bring the doctors pay to market principles. They operate as business enterprises, but charge as worse monopolists. Current $8000 spending in a year/per person, is unthinkable luxury for any state and society.

  • The Love Declaration
    The Love Declaration is a personal transformation covenant whose purpose is to be a bridge to our awakened conscious unity. It is a spiritually-initiative portal through which all beings are invited to pass via the authentic setting aside of the illusion of a separate self. It is a powerful and unambiguous thought form, and is intended to be freely shared, moving as a gift from heart to heart as timed and guided by the Good That Is. It’s mission is to inspire unifying miracles by rigorously voicing---without exceptions, backdoors, loopholes, or exits of any kind---a fundamentally true knowing living deep within every created sentient being. Regardless of any failures to actually BE it moment to moment, The Love Declaration stands for the possibility of knowing ourselves as our Word in exactly the same way that life’s Creator knows itself as it’s Word. This Declaration, by including and going beyond the present tense simple into the future-promissory (I am and I will be) languages for the benefit of our personal awareness the actively compassionate voice of our universal relatedness. It is a tool providing the limitless non-comparative reality of Absolute Love a trustable anchoring presence for our hearts and minds. Beyond suggesting daily remembrance, and that its usage be public, shared, and communion-generating, The Love Declaration, being universal, comes “without instructions”, because guidance regarding its use is available within every being directly for the sincere asking, whatever our individual cultural backgrounds, faith persuasions, or other life-contextualizing paradigms. Thank you for recognizing that your life, and the creative, intentional, and contributive way you live it, is a blessing absolutely essential to the wholeness of Life. There is only One of us here.

  • Individual Tax Directive Act
    The government is employed by the people and is to act in good stewardship. The Congress and Senate control the budget. Both houses are political institutions. Budget decisions are politically driven. Appropriations are often done without scientific or empirical evidence. Both houses and the White House represent the citizens and are to legislate on their behalf. Distortion in this representative model has evolved. It is again time for the individual citizens to provide guidance to their elected officials and stipulate how their tax dollars are directed and spent. By adding the "Individual Tax Directive" to every individual tax return filed, whether you are receiving a refund or paying taxes, will inform Congress and the White House how taxes are to be spent. How the elected officials in turn appropriate and vote on budget matters will inform the citizens to what extent their directives are followed. For example, if your preference is to solely fund Education programs, you will be able to direct Congress to use your taxes strictly for Education. You can drive that money even further to your community by specifying the specific programs to fund. Similarly, if you are keen on Health services, put your taxes there. Any combination of funding priorities will be possible via ITDA. Think of it as an investment portfolio. Signing this petition will be asking Congress to draw up the ITDA and make it law by 2014.

  • Jusitice for Barry, Justice for All
    Barry Deloatch was killed by New Brunswick Police on September 22, 2011. The New Brunswick Police Department and Middlesex County Prosecutor Bruce Kaplan have been completely uncooperative in telling Barry's parents, brothers, sisters, fiance, and children why he was cornered in an alley and murdered. Sign this petition to demand that Lieutenant JT Miller and Bruce Kaplan end this suspicious, ambiguous silence and give a grieving family answers. Update: It took 48hrs to find out that Barry had a stick. Those "investigating" this case are insane if they think the family and friends of Barry will be placated with a "stick and scuffle" story.

  • Give Private Loans an Income Based Repayment Option
    In 2009, the Obama administration passed a law allowing Federal Student loans to be repaid via an income-based plan. It was a great step forward. Unfortunately, private lenders are still able to charge ridiculous interest rates and offer only fixed monthly payment plans on private loans. With the recession on, the job market has changed; private lenders should change their repayment options as well.

  • Stop Fannie Mae REO's Blind Bidding Practice
    Have you ever tried to/thought about making an offer on a Fannie Mae REO Homepath property? Is it really fair for them to conduct blind bidding? Do they not think the unethical brokerages they have sell their properties give inside info to their own clients about your bid? Fannie Mae is supposedly a government agency set up to help people, and not a bank. Is this shoddy way to conduct business really helping people? Shame on a government agency to conduct business this way!

Rick Santorum should publicly apologize to US Soldier Stephen Hill.
