After weeks of intense pressure from the Obama Administration and from Schneiderman’s fellow attorneys general to support a broad settlement that would let the big banks off easy for the questionable lending practices that caused our country’s housing crisis, New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman was removed from a committee of state attorneys general investigating the banking industry’s mortgage abuses. Now Schneiderman is preparing to investigate Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase and other major financial institutions for their misconduct in the mortgage markets.

The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, who would represent the American citizenry without regard for personal gain nor in making their service a long term career position. Instead, those serving have created safety nets for themselves that average americans are not entitled to such as pay increases, a separate health care system for themselves, tenured pension pay, and they have established rules to protect themselves from the "everyday" laws imposed on all citizens. They should derive no greater benefit from service than that delivered to American citizens by the government.

America has an addiction to incarceration with nearly 25 percent of the world's prisoners. This has drained government resources and destroyed the family structure. It is time for America to be smart on crime since the tough on crime tactics has proven to be very costly revenge.

Last year the Supreme Court ruled corporations could spend billioms on political campaigns. Soon they will have bought enough politicans to control Comgress; to win both general AND primary elections; and therefore to "select" the candidates. They will then have complete control of "our" government, The result---A government of, by, and for the corporations.

Spending needs to stop on agricultural subsidies, corporate welfare, and tax credits for favored industries. Excessive Government spending reduces labor force participation, increases unemployment, and reduces productivity. Agricultural subsidies is when the government funds farmers. They give crop incentives and control cost. Corporate welfare is basically financial aide for large corporations. This including three major business benefits that come in the forms of special tax breaks, trade policies, and spending programs. Tax breaks are special tax benefits for certain industries/situations. Trade policies regulate the direction and regulation of trade throughout the world. Spending programs are now 125 separate programs to subsidies to particular industries and firms and that the price tag exceeds $85 billion per year. Cutting funding will force businesses to get off their annual goal of $85 billion a year. Being able to trade for supplies while creating jobs to create different new cheaper products. This will also cut the amount of taxes that have been heightened because of these expenditures. Even though the ideals in Washington states that the United States needs an even closer alliance between business and politics, the reality is that both government and the marketplace would work better if they kept a healthy distance from each other. Right now the government is almost 15 trillion dollars in debt. This money is borrowed from other countries. If something doesn't change everyone in America will learn this the hard way.

MoveOn.org is sending emails to supporters attempting to garner donations by playing on the sympathies of their base with #OWS. Moreover, they're doing their level best to shape the image of the protests to fit with their narrow political goals. This has to stop.

Let the Occupy Wall Street Sacramento petition our Government and Citizens 24/7. Let them freely exercise their free speech rights.

The RBOB Gambit is simply this: The country is suffering a major financial slowdown precipitated by a drastic increase in the price of oil and thereby gasoline (the RBOB contract can be said to be the wholesale price of gas) caused by massive speculation in the commodities and futures markets. Laws have been written and rewritten for decades to stop this very problem, the most recent being the Dodd – Frank Act. The CFTC by the actions of its commissioners have failed in their duty to enforce these laws. The CFTC is part of the executive branch and thereby under the direct control of the President. By exercising the power of his office, Barak Obama has the means to revive the economy, increase employment, stem the tide of bankruptcies and home foreclosures, reduce basic food and energy prices for billions around the world and thereby help revive the world’s economic engine. Requiring the CFTC to pass rules to ensure that commodities markets are free of excessive speculation as required by the congress is not only his purview it is his duty. It is legal, requires no new legislation, can be done in weeks not months, costs nothing, and will return hundreds of billions of dollars of purchasing power to American consumers that will drive growth. This singular act of presidential leadership will signal to everyone that the president has the interest of the Main Street rather than Wall Street as his primary focus. Expedient execution of the RBOB Gambit will change the political discussion in the country and probably secure re-election of him while helping the Democrats at the polls.

Jacksonville! Stand in unity that our voice be heard! Join The Jacksonville Bicycle Coalition in the campaign for safer streets for the citizens and children of this city. Jacksonville, Florida is the third most dangerous city in the nation regarding pedestrians and cyclists. With regards to Florida in general, Jacksonville’s low ranking in safety is indicative of the rest of the state. According to Transportation for America’s “Dangerous By Design” 2011 study, the top four most dangerous cities in America are all located in Florida - 1) the areas of Orlando / Kissimmee, 2) the areas of Tampa / St. Petersburg / Clearwater, 3) Jacksonville, and 4) the areas of Miami / Fort Lauderdale / Pompano Beach. As a citizen of the City of Jacksonville - the city we all adore for its aesthetics, its culture, its undeniable potential - I ask of you, please consider supporting this cause by signing this petition. This petition will be given to our Mayor and State Representative. With enough signatures, we hope to have this issue placed as a higher priority for city and state improvements. If every other respectable metropolitan area of this country can have proper road infrastructure for various means of transportation, then certainly Jacksonville should be no exception!
