• Boycott Home Depot (Co-founder supports Trump)
    The Hispanic and Latino community are a huge clientele and work force of Home Depot, affording Home Depot in reaching the pinnacle of a successful corporation. For one of the co-founders, Bernie Marcus, to support a xenophobic, misogynistic, racist bigot like Donald Trump and stand by his divisive, hateful rhetoric is beyond acceptable and appalling. We will stand up and speak up, hitting Home Depot where it hurts the most: in their stock value, reputation, and pocket book. Si se puede!

  • Justice for Dharma
    On May 28th, my friend, Chase Lackey, took his dog ,Dharma, to a local groomers, Mona's Pet Crossing, after a casual check up at the vet's office. Upon his picking her up, he picked up a traumatized, bleeding, and terrified dog home that was far from the family member he had dropped off. Her injuries were so bad that he had to make a visit to the Veterinarian ER to have her examined and taken care of the following day. No handler should have to be worried about a pet's well-being when dropped off at a groomer. Kentucky has no law against businesses abusing animals in such a way and there is no way for charges to be pressed against Mona's Pet Crossing for the cruelty they've committed against Dharma and many other animals who have been 'taken care of' by this place. Animals are family members and this is far more than just abuse!

  • Ebay Allows Hunting as Auction Item
    We now know scientifically the importance of the role mountain lions play in the health of the ecosystem. The death of our native wildlife should not be an ad permitted to be posted as an auction.

  • Tell Congress: Require all presidential nominees to release their tax returns.
    Ever since Watergate, Democratic and Republican presidential nominees have released their tax returns to the public. Why? Because the American people deserve transparency and information when choosing who to vote for to run our country. And, ever since Watergate, presidential nominees recognized that and released their tax returns. A tax return cannot spin blatant exaggerations and opinions into facts. A tax return cannot pander and only present one side. A tax return cannot fabricate income, charitable giving and tax shelters. A tax return tells the truth. Once in the light, a tax return cannot be explained away by conspiracy theories, bravado or misdirection. It is what it is: a very telling document. What does the candidate value, give to charity? Does the candidate pay their fair share of taxes? Is the candidate telling the American public the truth about their finances? This is why presidential nominees have released their returns for nearly 40 years. And it’s why the American people shouldn’t have to rely on the benevolence of a presidential nominee to know exactly who they are voting for President of the United States of America. I’ve introduced the Presidential Tax Transparency Act to require all presidential nominees - no matter their party - to release their tax returns after the nominating convention. So stand with me. Tell Congress to pass the Presidential Tax Transparency Act! --Ron

  • Trump: Show us your Tax Returns
    Trump has gotten away with telling the public that his taxes are none of your business. It is our business to know how he ran his business, what tax rate he paid and where his charitable contributions were.

  • Reinstate The Fairness Doctrine
    The media bias particularly the 2016 presidential primary has been a disservice to the people of United States of America. The media is, in many cases, providing unbalanced coverage of controversial issues without objectivity or integrity. The general public has a right to know facts and truth of real issues and the pros and cons of such controversial issues. "Equal Time" should include newscasts.

  • MD Gov. Hogan: Sign The Equal Pay For Equal Work Legislation
    The Honorable Larry Hogan Governor, State of Maryland Gov. Hogan: As you are aware, quietly and almost completely under the media radar, the Maryland General Assembly overwhelmingly passed the "Labor and Employment – Equal Pay for Equal Work" legislation. On behalf of Maryland voters who are also members of MoveOn.org, many of our other members, and many other men and women who hope Maryland will become one of the LEADING STATES on the issue of pay equality, I urge you to sign this bill into law. Failing that, please allow it to become the law of the State by taking no action. Under the skilled sponsorship of Delegate Kriselda Valderrama and Senator Susan Lee, the legislation alters certain sections of the Labor and Employment Act to prohibit wage discrimination on the basis of gender identity; prohibit employers from discriminating against any employee by offering less favorable working opportunities on the basis of sex or gender identity; prohibits an employer – within certain preannounced limits – from preventing employees from discussing wages; and prohibits employers from retaliating against employees who make claims of discrimination and/or participate in such claims. The legislation also strikes a balance by PROTECTING (or continuing to protect) employers' rights to differentiate in compensation on the basis of a nondiscriminatory seniority system; a nondiscriminatory merit system; jobs requiring different abilities or skills; shift work or jobs performed at different times of day; a nondiscriminatory performance-based measuring system; some other nondiscriminatory factor including work-related education, training, or experience. Now, in its "FISCAL AND POLICY NOTE", The Department of Legislative Affairs indicated the net effect government-wide would be $5000 in Fiscal Year 2017 – funds one agency would need to prepare training materials for employers. All other agencies, courts, etc., could handle the legislative changes within their existing budgets. The analysis did indicate, when it came to small businesses (later defined as businesses with fewer than 15 employees) that the impact was "Potential Meaningful (sic)." But when they expounded later, they noted "… to the extent that employees gather more information on wages, the bill may create pressure on an employer to decrease or eliminate wage disparities." That cannot be a bad thing, because discrimination should NEVER be a part of doing business. So you see, Governor, this legislation provides pay equality and proper remedies for employees while also protecting the legitimate business interests of employers. It is VERY GOOD for Maryland, and I urge you to make it the law of our great State. If you or any members of your staff wish to contact me, please feel free to do so at the following email address: [email protected] [MoveOn members and other signatories may also feel free to email me at the same address with questions/comments/concerns. Please put "Equal Pay" in the Subject Line.] Most Respectfully, Maurice Miller Takoma Park, MD

  • Let Puerto Rico File Bankruptcy
    Because of various tax breaks the U.S. Congress placed on Puerto Rico, the U.S. Territory is $72 billion in debt. It falls to us to help. A bailout would hurt the pockets of the U.S. taxpayers, so allowing complete bankruptcy would be the cleanest solution to the problem, granting the U.S. citizens of Puerto Rico their best chance at a financially prosperous future.

  • Support Striking Verizon Workers
    We are on strike because we will do whatever it takes to create a better workplace for ourselves and those that follow. We're standing together to make sure the needs of working families are met, instead of standing by as a handful of individuals get richer and richer. We're standing together because Verizon has fired, threatened, and intimidated working people at Verizon Wireless who are trying to create a better future for themselves and their families. We're standing together because we want to earn a living in our own communities instead of moving away from our homes and our families. We want good jobs to stay in the United States, not be sent overseas. We're standing together to make sure that working people at Verizon like us can not just make a good living, but also have a good life. Let Verizon CEO Lowell McAdam know that you stand with us.

  • DuPont: Clean up the drinking water you contaminated with the deadly chemical C-8
    I never worked in DuPont’s factory. I never knew I was being exposed to harmful amounts of C-8. But DuPont knew, and DuPont did nothing to stop it. I was exposed to C-8 because the company dumped it into the Ohio River and landfills, where it leached into the water me and my family drink every day. After decades of lies and delays, it’s time for DuPont do the right thing and clean up our drinking water NOW.
