• MARC: Allow regular bicycles on trains, not just folding bikes
    MARC trains only allow folding bicycles, which are typically heavier and more expensive than regular bikes, and bikes are one of the best ways of making public transportation practical, by helping people make up for gaps and problems in that transportation system. Especially in this tough economy, allowing regular bicycles would enable more people to adapt to available public transportation, rather than waiting for transportation to adapt to them. In other words, this would allow Maryland to get the most bang for its transportation bucks.

  • Tell ESPN: Don't use the Bible to gay bash athletes
    When Jason Collins became the first openly gay player in the NBA, he emphasized the importance of his Christian faith in accepting himself and deciding to come out. But within hours, ESPN sportscaster Chris Broussard characterized coming out as "openly living in unrepentant sin" and attacked Collins, saying "I would not characterize that person as a Christian because I don't think the Bible would characterize them as a Christian." Shockingly, so far ESPN is standing by Broussard, describing his tirade as "a respectful discussion of personal viewpoints." ESPN needs to hear immediately that it's unacceptable to turn Christian faith into a weapon of anti-gay hatred.

  • Stop the Firearms Facility Relocation to Meshomasic State Forest
    Concerned citizens oppose the proposal by DESPP to utilize 30 acres of State Forest in Glastonbury, CT to construct 55,000 sq ft Firearms Training Facility with multiple firing ranges and 125 parking spaces. The following are some conservation and public safety concerns: • The proposal will impinge on the Meshomasic State Forest and the Shenipsit Trail, a cherished 41 mile Blue-Blazed Hiking Trail managed by the CT Forest & Park Association (CFPA) and used by the public for hiking, running, mountain biking, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. • The area is full of wildlife including the eastern timber rattlesnake, an endangered species under General Statutes § 26-306 and § 26-306-4 of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies. • The existing town gun range has limited hours and only small firearms are permitted, whereas, the scope of this project is very broad and involves multiple new large open shotgun and rifle ranges. • An increase in the amount of traffic for this statewide facility is a safety concern for the area's winding roads that are utilized by many bike enthusiasts and runners. • Noise pollution and traffic will disrupt this quiet residential area filled with young children and used by many for peaceful outdoor enjoyment.

  • Don't Let the Koch Brothers Buy the Second Biggest Newspaper Chain in America!
    The Koch brothers are the right-wing oil and gas billionaire duo infamous for funding the tea party. Now they want to buy the second largest newspaper chain in the country to spread their extreme views - including the Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, and Baltimore Sun. The Kochs have spent their fortune funding anti-worker candidates like Scott Walker, right-wing lobbying groups like ALEC, and climate-change denying "think tanks." They even warned tens of thousands of their employees that there would be "consequences" if they didn't vote for Republicans. Not exactly the kind of guys we want running some of the most respected newspapers in America. Isn't one Rupert Murdoch enough? Our newspapers are valuable sources of honest journalism. We can't let them turn into right-wing mouthpieces. Please sign our petition against a Koch brothers buyout of the Tribune newspapers.

  • PTA: Auction 3G Licenses in Pakistan
    Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) and Ministry of Information Technology (MoIT) has been dragging its feet for the past several years on the issue of auctioning of 3G licenses in Pakistan. Various reasons are given for this, from lack of interest from the Government to the Telcos not being ready for the migration from 2G to 3G. The country is not only far behind internationally (4G networks are already being rolled) but also regionally where even a war-torn country like Afghanistan has migrated to 3G. And the interesting part is that the Government is expected to earn a good 1-2 billion dollars (depending upon various estimates) from the auctions alone (not to mention the countless jobs that would be added to a stagnant Telco market).
