Dear Mitt: I hear your running to be President of the United States. Being the President is a great honor bestowed by the votes and the faith of the American people. Since you want this great honor, we the people ask you to fully disclose all your records about offshore foreign accounts. Please allow your constituents to view these records like your father George Romney did when he was Governor of Michigan.

The American politician now seems to care more for re-election than governing. I’m trying to end that. My problem is I am not a constitutional scholar or writer. I’ll try to outline my thoughts. 1. An amendment to the US Constitution would be made. 2. All federally elected or appointed officials would be subject to the amendment. 3. An independent office for enforcement of this amendment would be created. We’ll call it the Dept. of Conflict of Interest. The C.O.I. 4. All individuals or organizations donating, in one calendar year, more than $25,000 to any one candidate, officer or appointee must register with the C.O.I. This amount could grow with some measure. 5. The C.O.I. would investigate each applicant to determine the applicant’s affiliation. If applicant was a labor union in the timber industry, then all their donations of $25,000 and more to one candidate, officer or appointee, would cause the candidate, officer or appointee to recuse1 themselves from voting on or making decisions having an impact on issues the C.O.I. felt applicable; labor, unions, timber, etc. 6. Individuals who are partners or shareholders or investors in a $25,000 and more to one candidate, officer or appointee, would also be studied by the C.O.I. 7. So, every donating individual or group would have affiliation baggage attached before donations could be made. 8. Every candidate, officer or appointee would be informed of this affiliation baggage before accepting donations. 9. The C.O.I. would make available every donor providing donations of $25,000 and more to one candidate, officer or appointee and to whom donations were made. 10. So, the candidate, officer or appointee could still perform their assigned tasks, but would, on occasion, recuse themselves because of conflict of interest. 11. A candidate for any office would be held to the same law.

The minimum income tax rate for all persons who earn, from any and all sources, $1,000,000 or more per year shall be not less than 35%.

NO HEAP.....NO HEAT.....NO Insulation... NO Weatherization...NO WIC....NO Formula....NO Coupons.... NO Farmers Market NO Head Start NO Smart Start The Mahoning Youngstown Community Action Partnership (MYCAP) provides anti-poverty assistance to low-income individuals through programs such as Head Start, Women Infants, and Children Program (WIC), Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP), rural outreach programs, and senior centers. MYCAP also employs hundreds of hard working individuals in our community to administer these services. The Mahoning Valley currently faces numerous social and economic challenges such as, high unemployment, a high poverty rate of 49%, possible closure of the Youngstown U.S. Postal Distribution Center, and an underperforming public city schools system. MYCAP is a vital and irreplaceable resource for our community, and we urge for its continuation. KEEP MYCAP ALIVE Be it known on this Day, Jan. 30th 2012, that we the people have read the Youngstown Vindicator Editorial regarding the status of MYCAP, and the negative impact and possible loss of some or all of the much needed services in our community. MYCAP has helped many residents of this valley and its loss or possible cutbacks in these hard economic times would have a devastating impact throughout our community and the families we serve. We therefore by the signing of this petition agree to stand up, speak out and be the positive and loud voice for MYCAP.

Please sign this petition to limit campaign spending. It is utterly insane the amount of money spent on this. Let's send the politicians a message let them do their jobs. Don't let them buy votes!
