• Mayor Gray and Council of the District of Columbia: Fund housing necessary to end homelessness in...
    We, the undersigned people and People For Fairness Coalition, demand that you fund affordable housing to address the housing in the District of Columbia. You should focus the $100 million dollar commitment to the following housing priorities: Expand the Department of Human Services Permanent Supportive Housing Program to serve more people. Target the Local Rent Supplement Program to provide Housing and Support Services to chronically homeless individuals. Increase funding for the Housing Production Trust Fund to produce and preserve affordable housing. Pilot a "Sweat Equity" Program for homeless individuals to provide job training and afforodable housing. Additionally, it is critical that the $7 Million shortfall in the Department of Human Services FY'13 budget is accounted for and providing services to families and individuals experiencing homelessness. Sincerely,

  • Reinstate funding for volunteer fire departments
    Gov. Perry cut state funding for volunteer fire departments by 75% for 2012-2013. This left our communities and firefighters at risk. Tell Gov. Perry to abandon the shameful cuts and to promptly reinstate a budget that fully helps volunteer fire departments to save lives, property and jobs.

  • Reopen the Yemassee, South Carolina Post Office
    The closing of the Yemassee, South Carolina main post office has seriously affected the people of the town and surrounding areas. We have to travel 7 miles to the Early Branch, South Carolina post office to get our mail. Working people cannot get their mail because the hours of the post office make it very difficult to pick up mail. In addition, the post office closes at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday which also makes it very hard to get mail. We are concerned because not everyone has transportation to get to Early Branch. We cannot get any answers as to when or if the post office is going to reopen or relocate. We simply cannot afford to have the post office closed indefinitely because too many people depend on and need it. In conclusion, we desperately need the post office and asked that this matter be looked into and remedied in a timely manner.

  • Governor Malloy: Stop consolidation of ethics agencies.
    I worked very hard to make public financing of CT legislative elections a reality in 1996. The Citizen Elections Commission is being destroyed by fewer employees, lack of clear, independent authority by Governor's "consolidation".

  • Secretary Hagel: Fix the problem of military sexual assault
    US Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel pledged to stop the estimated 19,000 military sexual assaults perpetrated every year. This epidemic of military sexual assault can and must be stopped. One of the few cases actually to reach a jury trial has been unilaterally thrown out by a lone general. As a former sexual assault prosecutor I am outraged by this travesty of justice which harms the victim and besmirches the millions who serve with honor.
