I am the mother of an 8-year-old daughter who gets violently ill when she eats GMOs. For her, this is not about wanting the right to know. For her, it is about NEEDING to know. Will it take someone dying and an autopsy to reveal that their death was ultimately caused by GMOs for something to be done about GMO labeling? Well, I am not willing to allow that, and I certainly won't offer up my daughter. Please help me protect her. To read her story please go to www.facebook.com/momsagainstgmos and click on Notes. This could be your child, too.

Keno is a highly addictive form of gambling. It is so addictive that it has been called the “crack cocaine” of gambling. And unless we act NOW, it will soon be coming to our neighborhoods. Last month, with no public debate or discussion, the Connecticut Legislature voted to allow gambling in the form of Keno in our restaurants, bowling alleys, and bars. This was driven by the legislative leadership - including New Haven Senators Harp and Looney - through a backroom deal. What this will mean for New Haven and other cities is more crime, more poverty, and the breakup of families. It will also expose our children in restaurants and bowling alleys to gambling, forcing them to witness an activity which is highly addictive for young people. We call on New Haven’s Senators Harp and Looney, who negotiated this budget (including Keno), to immediately move to stop Keno from going forward. And, given how out of touch our state legislature is with the needs of New Haven, we demand that a state law be passed banning gambling in any city in Connecticut that does not want it.

Starting today, I pledge to boycott all soy products until all GMO soy is voluntarily labeled by all the major corporations. The non-GMO labeled products are excluded from this pledge.

The universal draft in the U.S. during WW II had a major impact on the success of civil rights and racial integration efforts in this country. Making such a policy for Israel a requirement for further U.S. aid would give Israel a chance of solving its internal apartheid problem.

Governor Cuomo has a chance to become a NYCLASS’ TOP DOG by signing the puppy mill bill into law! Without this law, local governments will be unable to regulate abusive pet dealers leading to the awful treatment of dogs and puppies in New York. We need to encourage him to sign the bill as quickly as possible.

Fish farms are breeding grounds for viruses, diseases, and parasites that can spread to wild fish. They create fish waste that is contaminated with toxins and creates dead zones. Many times, they are contaminated with dioxins, polychlorinated biphenyl, and persistent insecticides, which are not especially healthy as food. They threaten commercial, tribal, and sport fisheries and related tourism, which are more economically important to Washington.

Since August 2010 I have attended every Town of Hempstead board meeting. During this time I have witnessed the Hempstead Town Board violating the Constitutional rights of residents at Town Board meetings. People critical of Town government are given less speaking time than residents that offer praise. In addition, the press (which is at Town meetings) does not report these violations or other news that may be of interest to residents. I have asked Hempstead Town Supervisor Kate Murray and the Town Council members (on many occasions) to broadcast Town Board meetings online and they have refused. I feel it is important to broadcast Town Board meetings online to give residents insight into the workings of their Town government and to prevent their Constitutional rights from being violated.

The policies and laws from the Republican-controlled N.C. General Assembly and governor’s office have gone too far. The plans to cut unemployment benefits, slash Medicaid assistance, shift taxes toward middle- and lower-income taxpayers, repeal environmental measures, and enact the new voter ID bill are immoral and unacceptable. We stand in solidarity with the thousands who have been protesting on Moral Mondays against the conservatives' takeover in North Carolina. Las políticas y leyes de la Asamblea General de Carolina del norte controlado por republicanos y oficina de Gobernación han ido demasiado lejos. Los planes para cortar subsidios de desempleo, gran cortes a la asistencia de Medicaid, cambio de impuestos hacia los contribuyentes de ingresos medios y bajos, revocar las medidas ambientales y promulgar la nueva ley de identificación de votante son inmoral e inaceptable. Estamos en solidaridad con los miles que han protestado el lunes Morales contra la toma de posesión de los conservadores en Carolina del norte.

We request that Steve Bullock appoint a special prosecutor who will impanel a grand jury to investigate the death of Hellgate Senor Chance Geery.

The man credited to have been the first settler of the Chicago region has NO STREET named after him nor any noticeable statue. This is a discredit to both du Sable himself and Chicago's Black population, and is a general disservice to its populace in entirety.

The development of state-owned properties in our neighborhood has occurred without the concomitant replacement of the lost parking spaces it has caused for residents. Rather than relax the restrictions on or increase the area where the affected residents are permitted to park, some parking agents in the Denver Public Works office have begun to ticket residents, even though those residents hold valid Resident Parking Permits. This practice has to stop. In an area where there is a serious dearth of parking, the permitted zone for resident parking must be enlarged.
