We cannot wait for a ballot initiative in November. The future of the children we serve depends on a change in direction by you, our elected officials. Arizona’s educators can no longer stand for the shameful funding of public education that is selling short the future of every child in our state. To restore those massive cuts and create a continuous revenue stream for funding public schools and educators’ salary hikes, we call for: • Support for the proposed ballot initiative that would allow voters to decide on increased revenue from high-income taxpayers. • Legislative rebalancing of the “three-legged stool” of state revenue—the income tax, property tax, and sales tax. • Closing tax loopholes and reviewing all tax giveaways to make sure the state is getting an adequate return on tax breaks and tax cuts. We stand in solidarity with the educators who are participating in #RedForEd actions and urge you to show your support for the Arizona AFT funding plan that will pay for additional school funding and much-needed pay raises for teachers and other school staff.

Congress should stand with President Obama in affirming that settlements in the Israeli-occupied West Bank are not "Israel."

It's time to make the Rutgers parking system more fair and just for all.

Sidney Powell should be investigated by the State Bar of Texas for her actions to undermine free and fair elections and the rule of law in America. And if found guilty of serious misconduct, we demand she is disbarred immediately.

Enough is enough already. Governor Rick Scott has gone too far with the voter purge. We have rights and it is clear that at every hand he is going to try to take them away regardless to the cost of Floridians. Therefore it's time Governor Scott gets gone. Let’s band together and send Governor Rick Scott a message that the good citizens of Florida will not stand by and tolerate these actions. Lets take a play from the Republicans book and call for his impeachment.

Part A: Please help me by signing my petition To: Elected Officials in the State of Ohio. We, the citizens of Ohio, are opposed to the outrageous and unjust traffic fines imposed as "civil remedial fees" in the Village of Brice, Ohio for the following reasons: 1. The fines inflict a punishment on drivers that is disproportionate to the degree of the offense they committed. 2. The fines are mandatory, and judges are given no discretion in sentencing. 3. The language of the Clerk of Courts states that the 25 MPH speed limit is for safety, but in reality, can be seen that it is only for the purposes of "generate revenue" and hence the fines have nothing to do with traffic safety. 4. The Police Chief, Delano Bauchmoyer and Mayor holds Mayors court every Tuesday’s at late hours that are unreasonable, forcing people who get tickets to pay the fee instead of being able to challenge the ticket in normal business hours. 5. The speed limit is 25 MPH throughout the entire village. They say its for the Public safety but the streets coming into town are anywhere from 35 MPH from the Westside of the village to 50 MPH coming from the Southside of the village. There are no sidewalks to make you think people would walk down the street. 6. In order to generate additional revenue, The village keeps the speed limit low which can be unreasonable, because the speed limits on the outside of the village are considesability higher. This will unnecessarily increase the offender's insurance rates for a time frame that is incongruent with the degree of the offense. 7. Village of Brice is a well know speed trap list on many websites as suggested on websites and Channel 4 WCMH news in Columbus, Ohio. We, the undersigned, demand the immediate closure of the village of Brice like the village of New Rome into the local township of Truro. We will not vote for any state Delegate or State Senator who voted against closing down the speed trap in the Village of Brice, or for any Delegate or Senator who does not take action to repeal the sections of the Village of Brice that inflict these exorbitant and unjust penalties. Part B: Ohio: Speed Trap Village Runs Illegal Court Brice, Ohio has canceled court hearings over concern the speed trap village violated the law. The mayor of Brice, Ohio has canceled mayor's court hearings until further notice after lawmakers insisted that the village was in violation of a 2003 statute designed to prevent speed traps. In Ohio, 333 towns use mayor's courts to process traffic tickets and minor infractions with the mayor able both to decide guilt or innocence in individual cases and to decide how to spend the fine money that is collected. Ohio's top ten most successful mayors together brought in $2.3 million for their budget in 2004 with this system. Louisiana is the only other state to use mayor's courts. Brice raised 40 percent of the village budget by issuing tickets at a rate of 7.6 citations per resident. Ohio law says that no village of less than 100 residents, as defined by U.S. census figures, may operate a mayor's court. Brice has 70 residents. Lawmakers are now considering raising the minimum figure. Lets bring this to an peaceful end like we did the Village of New Rome, Ohio.

Warren Buffett, in a recent interview with CNBC,offers one of the best quotes about the debt ceiling ... "I could end the deficit in 5 minutes," he told CNBC. "You just pass a law that says that any time there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election." The 26th amendment (granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds) took only 3 months and 8 days to be ratified! Why? Simple! The people demanded it. That was in 1971 - before computers, e-mail, cell phones, etc. Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took one (1) year or less to become the law of the land - all because of public pressure. Warren Buffet is asking each addressee to forward this email to a minimum of twenty people on their address list; in turn ask each of those to do likewise. In three days, most people in The United States of America will have the message. This is one idea that really should be passed around. Congressional Reform Act of 2012 1. No Tenure/No Pension A Congressman/woman collects a salary while in office and receives no paywhen they're out of office. 2. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security. All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Securitysystem immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system,and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose. 3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do. 4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%. 5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people. 6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people. 7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void effective 12/1/12. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen/women. Congress made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and back to work. If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people then it will only take three days for most people (in the U.S. ) to receive the message. Don't you think it's time ? THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS! If you agree, pass it on. If not, delete.
