  • Rooms To Go & TD Bank: Be forthright with customers
    RoomsToGo offers 4-year interest-free (TD Bank) financing for purchases from its stores. While making timely payments to avoid the more than 20 percent interest (after a 4-year period), TD Bank IMPOSES trumped-up late fees every other month. RoomsToGo and TD Bank must cease this fraudulent practice or make the public aware that such purchases are not interest-free.

  • Deadbeat Dads
    My son Eddie Jr, who is now 16 years old has received very little support from his dad. His dad moved 3000 miles away, and re-married while we are still married.

  • Victoria Soto Childhood Protection Act
    Victoria Soto was the courageous young teacher who gave her own life, protecting her students at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. To honor her and the 20 first-grade students who lost their young lives, we are petitioning President Obama and Congress to speedily enact a law to be called the Victoria Soto Childhood Protection Act. This law would ban the ownership, sale, and use of assault weapons inside the United States, and mandate a 10-year prison sentence for offenders. Please join us. The time is NOW.

  • Free Native American Activist Leonard Peltier
    Civil rights activist and Native American Leonard Peltier has been imprisoned for 37 years and is in poor health. Many believe that Peltier’s trial was politically motivated, tainted by prosecutorial and judicial misconduct, and that he is a political prisoner, innocent of the charges of which he was convicted. Advocates for Peltier’s release include Amnesty International, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, the National Congress of American Indians, Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Center for Human Rights, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, the Dalai Lama, Jesse Jackson, Harry Belafonte, Michael Moore, etc.

  • Stop the Violence Now!
    I am a mother of two young boys and here is my thought, after having given this a great deal of thought, IT IS UP TO US TO DO SOMETHING NOW. This country has changed, there was a time when the common good of our people was put first, when careful thought was given to what a child or teen was viewing or holding in their sweet, innocent hands. Now, the good of profit and greed are our guiding principles and have been for a long time- that's what has changed. No longer do people care about what a child might be playing with or seeing on television, much less that interviewing children who just went through the most horrific experience of their lives was going through- but hey, they needed their ratings, right? I grew up watching The Brady Bunch, Little House on the Prairie and The Waltons and Walter Cronkite. The news was informative and always had a good story to lift your heart. So, here are my promises and my pleas: The games, which we have almost none of anyway, they are gone and never to return. I will not spend one penny on violence! Video and game companies- FIX THIS! The news, if you continue to sensationalize violence....I'm done watching, not that I watch much as you lost me a long time ago! CNN, NBC,CBS, FOX, ABC - STOP THIS, NOW! Corporate America- CARE! Gun owners - consider turning them in or simply locking them away until your life is in danger - why else would use them? NRA, gun control wary folks- WAKE UP and DO SOMETHING. Congress - GET A BACKBONE, CHANGE THIS - PLEASE. President Obama - WE NEED YOU TO LEAD THE WAY, PLEASE! IT IS UP TO US TO DO SOMETHING NOW!

  • Unbearable Arms March on Washington
    The right to bear arms has become UNBEARABLE PAIN!!! There is no reason for citizens to possess automatic weapons. They need to be restricted and we need to stand up loud and clear. This should be timed for the day before or after Inauguration, when Washington is full of visitors and the President gets a clear message from the people that we are DONE!

  • Weapons Are American
    Making the case that Military, and Civilian weapons need to be clear to the the public. That Weapons need locks pre-installed. That everyone who buys must be logged in a database. Put an end to Gun Shows unless Gun Shows sell "only" guns, and not AK-47 or M-16 type weapons. Must have I.D. and Background Check to get any weapon.

  • Gun Control
    Guns should be tracked better. Every gun should be turned in, and registered. Every gun should have a trigger that can only be turned on when it sends wireless beacons signaling its location. Any gun that comes close to gun free zone should raise an alarm so people can hide and armed police can be ready to apprehend the bad guy. No gun should be firable without its location identified.
