• Pass Amendment To Undo Citizens United
    The worst decision the Supreme Court has ever made. Going against all prior decisions of controlling and accounting for the amount of campaign funds given, this court voted for unlimited, unaccountable amounts of money that Congress may accept. Two judges making this decision should have recused themselves because each was a guest at a Koch brothers function before making the decision.

  • Increase Government Funding to Train New Teachers about Asperger Syndrome
    Asperger Syndrome is a form of autism that is hard to detect. It was recently discovered but many are not aware of what to look for and most educators have no training in recognizing or teaching children with Asperger Syndrome. Many students with this syndrome are given inappropriate educational placements, especially African American males. This helps extend the achievement gap. If placed appropriately, children with Asperger Syndrome will be given the opportunity to learn. (Bill Gates is an example of a person with Asperger Syndrome.)

  • STOP East Coast Universities From Barring Immigrants
    Being a college educated natural born American married to a college educated immigrant resident in this country for 7 years I have learned firsthand that the college and university system on the east coast put ridiculous requirements on English skills from students from non-English speaking countries. The TOEFL test for English proficiency is a barrier to immigrants improving themselves and making the better citizens. It is so difficult that most American high school graduates could not pass it, yet natural born Americans are not subject to this barrier to enter college. My wife, a college graduate from Brazil and very functional English speaker has not been able to pass it and is locked out of every college and trade school in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. In California and western US, there is no such barrier or exam required to enroll in state and private colleges and Universities. Why is it that the so-called “liberal” east coast employs draconian restrictions on foreign students? Allow students to take the classes and pass or fail on their own merits and capabilities. These Jim Crow literacy tests serve no purpose in the majority of degree programs and serve only to harm the larger society by stopping excellent students and motivated individuals from bettering themselves.

  • Support White House NESARA Petition
    NESARA (National Economic Security and Reformation Act) is a bill, already passed into law in the U.S. government, but kept under gag order for many years by some members of the 1%. If enough people sign the W.H. Petition (20,000 - 25,000) President Obama will announce and enact it. This bill will bring sweeping changes, not only to America but to the world and will address and solve all of the issues of the "Occupy Wall Streeters". link: http://wh.gov/4d5

  • Reclassify Cannabis
    President Nixon and the FDA misclassified cannabis as a Schedule I forbidden drug (same scheduling as heroin) in 1970. This has never been corrected and cannabis cannot become federally legal until it is re-scheduled by Congress or the US Attorney General.

  • The legalization and taxation of marijuana Act
    This act would remove marijuana from any schedule of drugs that would make it a punishable offense to possess any amount of the substance. The U.S. Government wastes too much money annually on the drug war on marijuana and puts too many people in prison for a drug that has been found to give relief to many people for various illnesses and is a safer alternative to alcohol for many people seeking a socil drug.

  • Save Social Security and Make it Fair!
    It is time to make sure Social Security is both fair, and properly funded. It is time to have ALL income taxed for Social Security, not just the income below $106,800.00. This will end the regressive nature of the tax: Now, those who can least afford it are the ones responsible for funding it. And taxing ALL income will allow for a substantial reduction in the actual tax rate.
