• Jeff Duncan: Turn Off Your AM Radio & Listen To Your Constituents
    Over the past few weeks, Jeff Duncan has been chasing right-wing conspiracy theories rather than pushing for legislation that his constituents care about. He's attacking U.S. officials over Benghazi. He's trying to prevent the census department from being able to collect the information they need to let us know how our economy is doing. He's criticizing the Pentagon for meeting with someone who has a hostile opinion of Christianity.

  • Star Ledger: Retract False Statements on WISOMMM Inc. & Sister Fredrica Bey
    Sister Fredrica Bey and Women In Support Of the Million Man March (WISOMMM, Inc.), along with their Adelaide L. Sanford Charter School (ALSCS) have been unfairly and unjustly targeted and maligned in the Newark, New Jersey Star Ledger Newspaper for the past few years, culminating in a rash of scathing articles spanning the week of Sunday, May 5, 2013 through Saturday, May 11, 2013. The allegations against Sister Fredrica Bey, WISOMMM and ALSCS of fraud, misappropriations of funds, conflict of interest, abuse of power, criminal activity and betrayal of trust are absolutely false! Sister Fredrica Bey, WISOMMM and ALSCS have addressed, corrected and answered all inquiries, findings and questions regarding any and all issues of concern brought about by the New Jersey Department of Education and the U.S. Department of Justice. Seven years of investigation of Sister Bey, the organization and the school found no charges being brought against Sister Bey of fraud or any criminal act whatsoever. The State of New Jersey Attorney's Office has vetted the lease between ALSCS and WISOMMM and has deemed that it is valid. WISOMMM has never charged the school for space it has never used, nor has WISOMMM ever charged ALSCS inflated rent. Sister Fredrica Bey, WISOMMM and ALSCS are only guilty of purchasing and maintaining several pieces of prime real estate with their own personal money downtown Newark, and providing programs and services within those properties that serve to empower and build the community, while creating schools that teach African Centered Education for Liberation. The attack on Sister Fredrica Bey, WISOMMM and ALSCS MUST STOP NOW!

  • Fully Fund Federal FIrefighters
    Much of the country is looking at the worst fire season ever. Congress has cut the funding to hire seasonal firefighters, which will leave us with overworked and dangerously tired firefighters, and billions of dollars lost in natural resources, homes and lives.

  • Tell President Obama: Shut Down Guantanamo Immediately!
    The president made a campaign promise to shut down this infamous jail where nine "detainees" have died and many have been tortured. Many prisoners are now on a hunger strike in response to the desperation and frustration they feel over the failure to close Guantanamo.

  • ,,Tell the board it's time for a career change of the leadership at Guide Dogs for the Blind!
    , At GDB, it has always been about relationships, matching just the right guide dog with the right person for safe, independent travel, building relationships with graduates in the field while providing the most excellent and comprehensive follow-up services, creating opportunities for relationships between handlers and their guides, puppy raisers, and fostering an environment in which appreciation is shown for the heartfelt generous contributions of everyone who donates their time, talent, and treasure, to ensure the continuation of the quality and excellence of GDB services. Under current leadership, numerous highly respected employees have been unjustly laid off. Through their considerable expertise and experience, these individuals have provided outstanding graduate services and deserve the credit for helping to make GDB the great organization it is today. The number of client service areas has been reduced from ten to six, and the number of field area staff from twelve to six,vastly increasing the number of graduates assigned to each region and almost doubling the case load for these six field support representatives. Although each graduate will technically now be assigned a field manager, opportunities for relationship building will be necessarily far fewer, with assurances that a call center can adequately handle the highly individualized needs of over 2000 working teams. The leadership team has drawn up a reorganization plan, which in reality will lessen the amount of time field reps can spend with individuals in their regions and has already resulted in multiple layoffs and early retirement of highly respected individuals who have played major roles in creating and setting high industry standards. In the past, positive staff/alumni relations have made Guide Dogs for the Blind a safe place where clients have been able to trust that their best interest and individual needs would be respected and receive priority. Now, current management’s recent ill-considered decisions represent an unwelcome return to paternalistic decision-making processes we had all hoped were behind us, and it is high time for alumni points of view to be more powerfully represented, heard and acted on. GDB's current leadership has demonstrated its considerable lack of awareness regarding the organization's unique personalized culture by failing to address serious alumni concerns being expressed, and by continuing to assert that all is well. By enacting sweeping unpopular changes prior to even analyzing the results of a recent graduate survey, current leadership clearly indicates its lack of understanding of and concern for alumni points of view. GDB's mission is not being fulfilled when current senior management suddenly lays off excellent employees who represent for many, the voices and faces of GDB, reduces the number of graduate support service areas from ten to six and the number of graduate support field managers from twelve to six, and entrusts a centralized customer call center to shoulder so much of the burden for providing efficient and highly personalized graduate support for so many with diverse needs.
