  • COLLEGE STUDENTS WANT MANDATORY MEAL PLANS ABOLISHED.. - ***remember to share if you actually wan...
    Our Constitution demands that Stephen F. Austin, with all colleges nation wide, respect and give way to a student's right of choice, and that that choice not be made under duress and intimidation masked through "policy" If your RIGHT to a choice has been denied, and your money taken by a college you're attending, or have attended, or maybe you know someone who has been violated by a mandatory meal plan policy, or you simply know this is not right, then join me in petitioning our officials: local, state, federal, and even the President, to protect american college students from these bullies and restore the college student's constitutional right to freedom of CHOICE!!! I am a Mother... of a student attending Stephen F. Austin University (Texas) who is being forced to pay for a meal plan she does not want or need. The policy is that every student who resides on campus is obligated to purchase a $1,478.00 meal plan (per semester). That's about $3,000 a year. Most college students will have acquired about $20,000 of debt in just their first year alone! So, why are they forced to shell out $3,000 a year for something that they neither want or need? At the end of the day, anyway you slice it, it is the responsibility of the student and not the university to repay the debt. RIGHT??? So how is the mandatory meal plan a benefit to the educational goal of the student? The universities cannot define that personally for the student. They can only define how it will benefit the university, and they are doing that by fattening their wallets! Not even elementary, middle, or high school students, are forced to participate in a "mandatory" lunch plan; and they are minors! If children have the right to eat in the cafeteria, bring their lunch, or go to lunch with mom or dad, should not college students, who are legally adults, be given and entrusted with the right to choose where they eat and how they pay for it? What the universities are doing, and indeed have been given the right to do, is not only "UNJUST" but cruel, unusual, ridiculous,and "LEGAL THEFT"... When is an american citizen not given the right /freedom to choose how their money is spent?? Mandatory meal plans threaten and insult not only the very reason why our soldiers honorably fight and give their lives, but clearly belittle the intelligence of the student, by quietly telling them "You are not capable handling the responsibility of choosing what you eat." Our constitution demands that mandatory meal plans be "ABOLISHED" from all universities, and demand that they give respect and choice back to the students--the very reason they even have jobs. I am asking, that you fight with me to eliminate mandatory meal plans not only from Stephen F. Austin University ( Texas), but Colleges everywhere in America. IT IS MY MONEY!!!! - Mae Blondell

  • Let's Help Tim Canova Unseat Debra Wasserman Shultz
    The current chair of the Democratic Party is not only ignoring the people who have been long-time members of the party, but she is also failing to even discuss her intentions with her own co-chairs. The rank and file of the Democratic Party may well fail to show up to vote which could result in the next presidential election going to the GOP. Don't wait and see if that happens. Take action now to remove her since she refuses the hundreds of thousands of requests and petitions for her to step down. Leaving Debra Wasserman Shultz continue to serve as Chair of the DNC is the biggest threat to returning any valuable democratic leaders to not only the House, but also the Senate and the Presidency.

  • Lets make DC a state!
    A lot of the residents from the District of Columbia are tired of being treated as second-class citizens. Congress has the power to redefine the district's borders and shrink its size as they did before in 1846. This action will give the 646,000 residents of the State of New Columbia the full rights of citizenship that they have been denied for over two centuries.

  • Investigate Ted Cruz's failed disclosure
    Ted Cruz has clearly violated the FEC's disclosure rules, and he should be investigated, fined, and held accountable. The New York Times reports that Ted Cruz failed to disclose to the Federal Election Commission that Goldman Sachs loaned him hundreds of thousands of dollars to finance his 2012 campaign for the U.S. Senate. The Times wrote: “such a disclosure might have conveyed the wrong impression for his candidacy,” given that he was “campaigning as a populist firebrand who criticized Wall Street bailouts.” But regardless of why he did it, Cruz needs to be held accountable. And with millions of dollars in special interest money lined up on both sides of the upcoming election, the FEC needs to send a message NOW to potential rulebreakers. That's why it's so important that they conduct a full investigation into Ted Cruz's failed disclosure and hold him accountable for violating campaign finance rules.

  • Elizabeth Warren: Time to Endorse Bernie for President!!
    We need a progressive political revolution in America that takes our democracy back from the billionaire class and makes our economy work for all. Every challenge that we face as a people – from economic inequality to climate change, mass incarceration, and a broken immigration system – hinges at least in part on the fate of this fight. I'm the director of 99Rise, co-lead the DemocracySpring.org campaign, and have been organizing for years to make this kind of political revolution happen for the good of my family, community, and country. The Bernie Sanders campaign is a historic opportunity for progress. Elizabeth Warren's endorsement now will be a huge boost that can power Bernie to victories in Iowa, New Hampshire, and beyond. We need Sen. Warren to step up and take a stand for her values, her vision, and our country at this time when she can make a huge difference. If at least 100,000 people sign this petition, I will organize a public delivery to Sen. Warren.
