This pledge gives FOCUS to the 99% protests by GETTING MONEY OUT OF POLITICS. Any legislator failing to sign the pledge should be OPPOSED IN A 2012 PRIMARY by a protester willing to stand up and file for election.

Basic Change everyone can get behind. Read the key points above. I did not write them, I do not know who did. Is it perfect? No, but the message is good. Let's make Congress work for the People of the United States of America!

Almost three decades of experience defining the limits of antiretroviral therapy and identifying key mechanisms of disease progression compels the development of new clinical approaches to address HIV infection. Even a modestly effective therapeutic vaccine would result in meaningful increases in life expectancy and delays in disease progression in people living with HIV on HAART and would allow us to drastically reduce the disparity and non- ability to provide HIV treatment to the more than 50% of individuals around the world living with HIV who still have no access to antiretroviral therapy. Recent data on a number of therapies in advanced stages of clinical development have shown them to be promising candidates for the treatment of HIV and warrant further investigation and support, as well as remind the community that the development of an effective therapeutic vaccine could lead to a functional cure. Therefore, we call for a reform of the international research agenda to prioritize therapeutic vaccine research and ensure that it is properly funded and proceeds rapidly and coherently.

Since the Republicans party has shown that they are not willing to do their jobs or listen to the will of the people!.

I pledge to put them on the unemployment lines!!!

The world wars could not be funded by taxation alone; hence, the idea of selling government war bonds was an appeal to patriotic Americans to help their country. We are now involved in an Economic War, and here is an idea of how middle class Americans can do what Congress won't do - - invest in the infrastructure and get Americans back to work: Working and retired Americans have money sitting in CD's and in retirement systems, either losing money or making very low interest. Allow individuals to withdraw a portion (no more than $5,000) with no penalties or taxes to buy short-term Recovery Bonds at a higher rate than they're presently making. Invest this money (at a better rate) in the infrastructure to create jobs, thereby helping the economy and the country recover. Sell the bonds through credit unions, bypassing big banks! Working and retired Americans should be allowed to withdraw these monies without penalty or taxation, either on taking the money out or putting it back in when the bond matures. Let us do what Congress won't do!

Making congress accountable!!!!

Petition for a federal law to make a policy on the medical treatment of transsexuals. I would want these laws to follow the international Standard of Care version 7 (http://www.thisishow.org/Files/soc7.pdf).

Congress should have to live by the same rules as all citizens.

With the soon to be released I've Gotta Get A Message To You, the Poppy Appeal single with The Soldiers, Robin's tireless work on behalf of the Memorial for the RAF BC and his upcoming Requiem for The Titanic, composed with his son RJ, "Sir Robin of Thame" is long overdue.

Keeping Families Together...Where Possible I would like to start a non prophet organization for families who have dealt with and may still be dealing with the Child Protective Service system; who were not treated fairly; according to the system's own rules. We need to hold this system accountable; when their caseworkers take it upon themselves to rewrite the rules; allowing their personal feelings to decide their cases rather than professional ones. If questionable cases are re-opened, it will solve some of the adoption problems. I want to provide these families with the help they need when they don't know their rights. Please, feel free to contact me with any suggestions or prehaps we could work together to make a positive change in this system. Keeping Families Together...Where Possible...

Hydrofracking around the watersheds of New York City and Syracuse have been banned by the governor and state legislature because of how it pollutes the water. The same consideration for the quality of life of the residents and tourists in the Finger Lakes should be legislated. The Finger Lakes are the source of water for municipalities, tens of thousands of individuals, farms, vineyards, recreation, and tourism.
