Workers' Rights
Workers' rights to organize unions and engage in free collective bargaining have been virtually eliminated over the last 35 years. The National Labor Relations Act in its present form makes it easy for employers to harass and fire organizers and intimidate employees via long-drawn-out elections, lax enforcement, on-the-job propaganda meetings, and outright thuggery. The Employee Free Choice Act, contrary to corporate and GOP lies, protects workers' right to choose but makes it easy for them to select a collective bargaining agent via signing a card and placing it in a locked box. If a simple majority of the employees sign,…

regional and organic agriculture

Create GOOGLE.gov to Ensure Transparency and Accountability
"The Internets" have not been used effectively by the US Government. Millions of tax dollars have been thrown to certain Beltway Bandits resulting in the extension of ineffective U.S. Government information sharing programs ultimately resulting in masssive virtual train wrecks. Then even more tax dollars get thrown away at trying to duplicate the original train wreck investment. There is no Common Operational Picture and nothing is secure. Even the US Army has a difficult time collaborating with the US Navy due to incompatible and stovepiped operating systems and code.
Solution: Leverage the Internet with a highly-secure GOOGLE.gov to enable a…1 vote -

Fix the voting machines
Diebold admits their machines loose votes, Princeton professor shows how easy it is to hack the machines, machines said to be made by companies owned by very GOP-friendly people, votes tabulated on the same machines that host the GOP campaign.
Who knows how much of this is true, but we shouldn't even have to wonder. No honest person, Republican or Democrat, should object to this:
Every voting machine must have a verifiable paper trail.

Please make ENGLISH the ONLY language we speak in US
Just think of how much money the States and Feds would save just by not printing every bit of information in other languages to cater to people who need to learn to speak English if they're going to live here.

ENACT A FLAT RATE INCOME TAX AND DISMANTLE IRS
Though the IRS employees would not like this I believe everyone would. Charge everyone 10-15% and give no deductions. It is simple and would be cost effective. People would become more honest and not try to cheat govt. anymore or hire fancy attorneys for tax dodges. Please do this...
