• EEOC claim process is too slow
    The unemployment rate for Blacks and Hispanics is almost double that of Whites. A Black and Hispanics are not let intelligent, less skilled or less motivated than whites. A big contributor to is racism. Companies are not fearful nor do they respect the EEOC. The EEOC is has a 3 year backlog. During this time, companies are getting away with Murder. They are intentionally pushing them into the civil court system to indefinitely delay them. I personally have been waiting 3 years. This area needs special attention from the Justice Department

  • Civil Unions for All
    All governmental bodies in the United States should get out of the business of marriage. Only civil unions between one man and one woman, two women, or two men should be recognized. If the members of a civil union wish to be marriad, they find a church. All governmental benefits should be based on Civil Unions not marriages.

  • Repeal Defense Of Marriage Act
    DOMA was put into place by Congress in 1996. The laws that are enforced by DOMA do not allow same sex couples to be legally married outside the seven states that support same sex marriage. It also doesnt allow their marriage to be recognized in other states. It also doesnt let joint taxes be filed and many other rights married couples have. By supporting the Respect for Marriage Act it will allow all marriages to be equal. All Americans deserve equality and supporting same sex marriage does not deminish anyone`s rights.

Politics shouldn't take precedence over human rights.

  • Grandview Schools Anti-Bully Policy Up-grade
    We are asking parents and family of K-12 children in Grandview to support the Grandview City School District in upgrading their policies and practice relating to controlling bullying behavior and acceptable conduct. We believe that the depth and complexity of this issue requires very careful examination and follow-through for the community to move effectively. We trust that the board, with the sustained support and attention of the Grandview community can make the schools an even better place than they are already. For the majority of students, the new attention to this issue may make no discernible difference. We are confident, however, that changes in what is considered acceptable behavior for K-12 student will, for some students, make all the difference. We are suggesting an array of measures that should be explored as policies are re-established and implemented. If this is important to you, and you believe the statement and the listing of suggestions are sensible, please sign the petition.

  • State Farm: Stop using our money to finance the right-wing agenda
    According to SourceWatch, State Farm Insurance is a major supporter of ALEC, the group that came up with "model legislation" adopted by a number of Republican-led state legislatures such as the Stand Your Ground law in Florida, voter ID laws that disenfranchise poor, elderly and minority voters, and the attacks on unions in Wisconsin, Ohio and Indiana. State Farm is different from most of the other members of ALEC because it is not investor-owned. State Farm is a mutual benefit corporation, a kind of financial cooperative, which means that it is owned by its policy-holders, pooling their money to provide insurance services. The money it gives to ALEC rightfully belongs to its policyholder-owners, and State Farm has no right to use it to fund ALEC's right-wing agenda. You do not need to be a State Farm policyholder to sign! If you are, please leave a comment about how long you have been with State Farm and how many policies you have with them.

  • Stop Corruption and Unfair Prejudice Against Mothers in Family Court Custody Cases
    Unfair discrimination has now been proven by Dr. Saunders of the University of Michigan: mothers and children who are abused physically, psychologically, financially, and institutionally through vicious court battles are victims of strong prejudice by judges who simply are prejudiced against mothers and children. Dr. Saunders research proves that judges who mistakenly believe that all mothers make up domestic violence charges, that fathers and patriarchy are right for society, and that all judges make the right decisions are the types of judges who further victimize and punish mothers and children who tell the truth about domestic violence. The US DOJ, Congress, and the states must take action to protect mothers and children from abusive judges because it violates civil rights and is reprehensibly sexist. These judges are guilty of hate crimes against mothers and children.
