Oil and gas companies are drilling in California using a controversial method known as "fracking," with hardly any oversight. This leaves your groundwater at risk for potential contamination. We need your voice today to change that! Assembly member Bob Wieckowski has filed a common-sense bill (AB 591) that would ensure that California's citizens have access to information about fracking in our communities. AB 591 would require oil and gas companies to disclose -- for the first time -- when and where they are fracking, what chemicals they are using and how much scarce water their operations consume. All of this information would be published on a public web site, setting one of the highest bars for fracking disclosure in the nation. This bill needs your help to become law. Your state legislators and Governor Brown need to hear that you want them to support AB 591!

The Congress of the United States Has Completely ignored the wishes of most of American People - a phrase they throw around VERY lightly. They are not interested in the middle class and the poor, only in corporations and special interests - their business is the business of getting reelected!. It's time to put a stop to this!

According to Binyamin Appelbaum and Helene Cooper, writing in the New York Times, "White House Debates Fight on Economy" (published: August 13, 2011): "Mr. Obama’s senior adviser, David Plouffe, and his chief of staff, William M. Daley, want him to maintain a pragmatic strategy of appealing to independent voters by advocating ideas that can pass Congress, even if they may not have much economic impact. These include free trade agreements and improved patent protections for inventors. "But others, including Gene Sperling, Mr. Obama’s chief economic adviser, say public anger over the debt ceiling debate has weakened Republicans and created an opening for bigger ideas like tax incentives for businesses that hire more workers, according to Congressional Democrats who share that view. Democrats are also pushing the White House to help homeowners facing foreclosure." Our goal is to persuade President Obama to listen to the advice of economists who have sound ideas about putting this country back on the path of prosperity. In order to achieve this, he must be willing to fight for what is right instead of persistently caving in to those whose primary adenda consists in nothing more than appealing to "independent voters" (read: those who don't have a clue about what needs to be done).

Power corporations could sell 30 year bonds to pay for installing solar power and solar water systems on homes to be paid off by current power bills. As noted by one of the signers a version of this has already passed in New York State recently, and in smaller communities in different forms. http://www.longislandpress.com/2011/06/23/new-york-passes-historic-green-jobs-financing-law/ We need the political demand to supply the answers to our economic and energy challenges. Government should mandate this happen. Current 30% government incentives could help pay for this. A program called PACE in California finances energy upgrades through property taxes. http://www.greentechmedia.com/articles/read/Renewable-Funding-Solves-Solar-Financing-Problem/ Many States are adopting this type of approach to make it easier for homeowners to adopt clean energy. http://www.dsireusa.org/solar/solarpolicyguide/?id=15 Maybe now what we need most is a massive public education campaign to enlist homeowners to take advantage of the programs like this that already exist, and to continue to encourage Local, State and Federal officials to adopt more user-friendly ways for homeowners to create jobs by applying for clean energy upgrades.

Let’s eliminate pensions for elected officials. After all, we do not want them staying around until retirement; we need a little new blood in there every couple of years. So, like every other American who is not covered by a retirement plan, Members of Congress and others can contribute more to their IRAs each year.

I would like to start a state by state movement to vote on a constitutional amendment to overturn the Citizens United supreme court decision.

Corporations should not enjoy the same rights as human beings. The power of corporations to influence our political life must end. The U.S. Constitution must be amended to end the existence of this legal fiction.

Illinois Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky is proposing two bills that will go far in helping the middle class and poor get jobs. The "Emergency Jobs to Restore the American Dream Act" would create 2.2 million jobs needed in our communities. It would be paid for by Schakowsky's proposed "Fairness in Taxation Act," which creates higher tax brackets for millionaires and billionaires and eliminates subsidies for Big Oil and tax loopholes for corporations that send American jobs overseas. We can get on the right track starting in Illinois--support the "Emergency Jobs to Restore the American Dream Act" and the "Fairness in Taxation Act."

Microsoft need to hear me out so many kids on the street so little areas for them to play games. Why not help rey start his business and change the gaming community for the better gather around all lets make a gaming diffrence.

Our future, Our children. One and the same.

To Combat "Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission" ruling of The Supreme Court" that opened the door to unlimited donations to political candidates, we must reform our campaign laws to allow only government funds for all political offices.

If you care about your government, get HEARD! The media ignores all progressive actions. We can target tea party functions, bringing loud noisemaking equipment under our trenchcoats. At a prearranged signal we can make NOISE! Our T-shirts can read American Dream. ANYONE can do this. It costs little money, little energy and little risk. LET'S MAKE NOISE!
