• Citizen Imposed Congressional Term Limits
    The Supreme Court in its rulings held that money is speech and bestowed personhood upon nonhuman entities such as corporations. These decisions have effectively ceded the control of the governmental processes to a minority economic class and administered a coup de grâce to majority rule. The concentration of the national wealth, due in major part to these decisions, has resulted in a dangerous concentration of political power.

  • It's Time to Break-up Public Enemy #1 Goldman Sachs
    Goldman Sachs has become the most powerful institution in America wielding overwhelming authority over our political system, our economy and the world's financial markets. It is immoral and untenable that a private entity should ever hold America in its grasp as does Goldman Sachs. This tyranny must end.

  • California State Bank
    California should have a State Bank [like North Dakota] to generate money for the State and support economic activity in the State. Large sums of money go through the State Treasury and the State could save money and generate income by having that money managed by a State Bank as well as accepting deposits and providing banking services to Californians at presumably cheaper rates than Commercial banks.

  • Maximum Wage
    We have a minimum wage to assure that working people are provided with at least a minimum salary. Why not a maximum wage, a "greed tax," to put an end to the absurd salaries paid to corporate executives? If no one could earn more than $1 million a year, including bonuses, and all earnings above that were taxed at a 100% level, corporate profits could be used more wisely and fairly, and salary distribution would be more fair. No one should need more than $1 million per year to lead a good, productive, happy life.

  • Justice for Edward Sanders
    Edward Sanders #141545 has been incarcerated in Michigan's state prisons since 1975, when he was 17, sentenced to life without parole. (He was not the shooter in his case.) He has a bachelor's degree, legal skills and assists others spiritually. His prison record is virtually unblemished. In July, 2011, he was nearly killed at Kinross prison by another prisoner known for his history of repeated violent assaults on prisoners he is housed with. It is time for Michigan to grant clemency to Edward; meanwhile he must be transferred back to Wayne County with a stipulation for a 2 man room or cell housing.

    A call for people to stop yelling at each other and drawing lines in the sand. Start listening. I mean it! Listen. Deeply. Break down the rhetoric across the abyss, and address the fears we all experience. Focus on the stable, nurturing communities we can create when we actually listen and share on a deeper level.

  • Stop Outsourcing Jobs
    Join with the American Jobs Alliance in fighting for jobs in America. Congress will soon vote on job-killing trade agreements with Korea, Panama and Colombia. These deals are like NAFTA and will cost hundreds of thousands of jobs, and adversely affect the lives of workers and farmers, here and abroad. Congress has a chance to stand up for jobs in the United States. We're calling on Congress to reject these treaties.
