• WMU: Save the College of Arts and Sciences
    Firing a popular, student-supporting dean over end-of-the-year bonuses to administrative staff while rewarding a football coach with a $800,000 a year makes clear WMU's priorities. They need to change. Reinstate Dean Alex Enyedi; it's the right thing to do.

  • Evening the Odds Against Bullying (and Violence) In Schools
    As a parent of children who attend public schools in Virginia, I have witnessed first hand the effect school violence can have on the ability to learn and thrive in the school system. It is time for a change to happen. It is time for parents who send their children to school to learn, to be able to feel safe in doing so. As parents we have a right to be able to send our children to public schools to learn and be free from violence. It should not be the victims of these attacks and/or instances of bullying, that must find new schools to attend out of fear or embarrassment, but should instead be the requirement of those who commit the violent acts. It is also important for schools and those in power to realize that the need for counseling and anger management in early instances of violence is important to preventing these children from growing into violent adults. Our children have a right to education and to feel safe in getting that. Please help show support in making our schools safer for our children and in ensuring that children who need help receive that.

  • Do not let Obama's plan to tax 529k plans become law
    The idea that all people in America should have access to a Community College education is a great idea. I have saved for the last 16 years for my daughter's education. Living frugally and forgoing new cars and dinners out so that we could put aside money into the 529k. Now the President is suggesting that these funds be taxed so that others can benefit from my years of saving and planning.

  • Make Free Community College an American Reality
    This is why President Obama’s plan is so important. Every American, regardless of circumstance of birth, should be able to access the life skills and tools provided by a college degree. Tell Congress that you support President Obama's proposal to make community college free, because it brings us one step closer to making the American Dream a reality for all!
