Ban the words "African American" "Latin American," etc.
As far as I am concerned we are all AMERICANS and to add the other ethnic words to it is just devisive and keeps stirring the pot of anger. Let's just unite and be the Americans we are.

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 -

Public Eduation System
Its very interesting that so many people are voicing concerns about the public education system in America, and I agree wholeheartedly that the system is in SERIOUS need of an overhaul; however, it is NOT the sole responsibility of the public education system to teach children everything they need to know!! Where are the parents and communities and what are their roles in the education of children ? What is THEIR responsibility in this matter ? Is it not the responsibility of parents (and perhaps communities) to provide some fundamental educational basis upon which the public education system can build…

Official Language
What of the idea of making English the Official Language of the United States ? An idea such as this wouldnt "outlaw" other languages spoken, but would serve to unite Americans under one common language used to conduct business in and with state, local and federal government agencies. And too this might reduce the costs that agencies incur in having to print forms, instructions etc in 500 different languages.

Protecting privacy in online medical records
As we consider taking all medical records online within five years, let us not forget how big business and government alike have abused consumers in the credit industry. This information is private and sensitive and can cost us jobs, money and opportunities as it is used without our knowledge and consent for purposes not in our best interest. Please, can we take this slowly and make sure that consumer interests are protected first, last and always?

Put Govt. Liason in Bailout Companies
Instead of blindly providing banks and auto makers with billions of dollars, immediately create jobs within those institutions by placing Govt. Liasons in those companies to "watchdog" the spending. The persons should not be former employees in the industry or politicians but intellects, scholars of economics and business. Their jobs would be to consult and act as a watchdog. If such a position was part of the CitiCorp meeting in which they discussed luxury jets, do you think it would have even made it to the agenda? Big Brother can't watch these companies from Washington. They have to be on…

Obama should invest michelle's anual million in stock mkt.
Wow! President Obama doesn't seem to realize how many teachers, union members and everyday Democrats as well as Republicans depend on the stock market for their survival in their old age when they can no longer work for their money I think he has more knowledge of Karl Marx, who never lived in a society like this, than how the stock market works. When you threaten higher taxes especially on capital gains, then people see no reason to invest. When you threaten an idiot idea like cap and trade, the market smells more government regulation, and they will not invest.…
