Florida’s tomato farms supply 50% of all U.S. fresh tomatoes but have also been called America’s ‘ground zero for slavery.’ Countless workers held against their will, threatened with violence and forced to haul hundreds of heavy tomato buckets a day for little to no pay. Thankfully, a new solution called the Fair Food Program has been proven successful. The Fair Food Program is working to enforce a policy of zero tolerance for slavery on tomato farms. But a major U.S. supermarket chain, Publix Super Markets, is refusing to support the Fair Food Program. Publix continues to buy tomatoes from growers that are not partners of the Fair Food Program and where workers still toil beyond the reach of its proven protection from modern slavery. Will Publix Super Markets, which prides itself on making Fortune’s ‘Best Companies to Work For’ list, continue to turn a blind eye and give excuses, or will it leverage its vast market influence and lead the way in cleaning up slavery in the tomato supply chain once and for all?

There are too many of us dying and in jail. Murder and slavery should not be an option to population control. They don't need us anymore they have so many new people to control. We can't hurt them more than they have already hurt themselves. So why fear us? Actually we need $8,000,000,000 to complete the move.

Instead of apologizing and rectifying the situation, the Government is circling the wagons and stonewalling. This man needs to be compensated for the economic repercussions of this disasterous and ridiculous decision immediately. The Government has deprived him of his livelihood. We cannot allow such injustice to thrive.

My partner and I are both KY residents. We want to stay in KY and have our family. But until we can achieve the same marital status as everyone else we will never feel as though KY recognizes us as equal citizens. Please allow same sex marriage in KY so all of us in the LGBT community can be true equal KY residents. We pay our taxes, work, and help KY to grow. We deserve the same as everyone else.

It has been seven months since government contractor Edward Snowden exposed the NSA’s highly questionable—and often illegal—methods of surveillance. He is still in Russia under the watch of Vladimir Putin, eluding extradition back to the United States where he faces serious criminal charges. As the New York Times put it in an editorial this week, it is time to grant clemency to Edward Snowden: "Considering the enormous value of the information he has revealed, and the abuses he has exposed, Mr. Snowden deserves better than a life of permanent exile, fear and flight. He may have committed a crime to do so, but he has done his country a great service." Sign our petition, urging President Obama to grant clemency to Edward Snowden.

My friends who receive TANF benefits are being singled out for drug tests. It's only fair to ask the Governor and Legislature, who receive taxpayer money in the form of their salaries, to be tested also.

Prisoners are still people who need rehabilitation. They still have family's and loved ones. These visits help them while in prison and unite them with there family. They deserve these to grow with life outside of prison so they come home a better person and ready for life again outside of those bars. Completely taking them away will take away something that keeps the prisoners on a good track and keeps them close with there families

I do not believe human beings should be subjected to this type of treatment. They are incarcerated, for whatever reason, and are dependent upon their jailers to provide them food; Instead, they are given inadequate food that is not fit for human consumption.

I grew up in Sandy Utah and love my home town. I love the people and the beauty here. However, I am struggling with the idea of buying a home since I have to keep my pregnant wife indoors and tell my kids it isn't safe for them to go outside. When I saw the governor planning to spend 2 million dollars on something that has already been ruled unconstitutional, it made me sick. It is time to let him know how we feel and take the advice of Pope Francis by focusing on improvement and love rather than tearing other people down. Tax dollars should not be spent trying to defend discrimination. Spending this money would be a losing battle for the state, the governor, and the people of Utah. Put this money towards air quality incentives, wood burning conversions, electric car incentives, etc.

My house was just taken from me without any kind of notification . Banks should be stopped from this CA PENAL CODE 211, Profit or Justice ????

I have lived in many countries, including Iran, Egypt. In Muslim countries Sharia religious law often dictates the killing of Gays, persecution of Christians, Baha'is and Jews, subordination of women, etc. I do not want this or any other religious law to influence legal decisions in our country.
