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
Agribusiness grew out of left-over chemicals from the bomb making business of World War II. We need to re-regionalize and localize agriculture and invest in soil building to improve fertility, prevent soil erosion and grow healthy, organic food. By growing food in regionally, through investment in small farms rather than in the massive agribusiness that controls our food supply today we will improve the environment and the health of our citizens. We will help to solve the energy crisis and global warming by not transporting food the average of 1500 miles each item now travels. Read Michael Pollan's Farmer in…

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.

Investigate 9/11
There are hundreds of inconsistencies just comparing the statements of the same politicians like George W. Bush for example.
Millions of people believe that there is something wrong, Google's 2nd suggestion for 911 is "911 conspiracy" with over 611,000 results or "911 truth" with 1.2 million results. No single word has been mentioned by Barack Obama. An investigation is overdue.15 votes -
Build A US Peace Army

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...
