Cardinal Law scandalized the people of the Boston Archdiocese by his coverup of priests who sexually abused children. Instead of being censured, he was given a post in Rome. He should not be allowed to vote for the next Pope as a representative of the Catholic Church.

Seth MacFarlane’s performance at the Academy Awards ceremony this year was not only misogynistic and sexist, it was not very funny. It’s clear that, at least when it comes to seeing women primarily in terms of their appearance, and especially their boobs, there are no limits to what a host of the Oscar show may say. So, we demand that next year the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences ask a woman and feminist to host the show, while giving her free reign to present a feminist take on Hollywood. And since it might make for a better show if the host is actually funny, we strongly suggest the Academy ask Sarah Silverman to host.

Animal education is also a top priority in our communtiy and funding will support the awareness. More pets and animals are dying due to lack of funds.

Gov Cuomo's gun law is unlawful and unconstitutional.It affects noone but lawful responsible people.We must defend the constitution of this country.Would never had passed if it wasnt forced through.

opular satirical newspaper The Onion, known for its humorous jabs at prominent figures, may have taken it a step too far with a vulgar tweet about 9-year-old Oscar nominee, Quvenzhané Wallis. Someone tweeted from the publication’s account during the Oscars: “Everyone seems afraid to say it, but that Quvenzhané Wallis is kind of a c**t right?”

Unless we take immediate action, the major distributor of electricity and gas to the Mid-Hudson Valley will be taken over by Canadian holding company Fortis, Inc. CH Energy Group is the parent company of Central Hudson Gas and Electric, serving more than 375,000 customers. Residents will be at the mercy of a financial corporation with a disastrous environmental record. In Belize, Fortis built the Chalillo Dam, destroying precious habitat and raising costs to ratepayers. New York risks losing local jobs. In a similar case, when Iberdrola, SA, bought Rochester Gas & Electric in 2008, they cut the workforce by more than 200 people and replaced them with outside contractors. The proposed takeover does nothing to make Fortis improve the power grid, protect us from the effects of storms like Irene, Lee, and Sandy or better utilize clean energy sources. Fortis may be even able to override New York State regulations through the use of the North American Free Trade Agreement, or NAFTA. The so-called community benefits are minuscule compared to what the top executives at CH Energy will talk away with (reportedly $8.7 million for CH Energy Group CEO Steven Lant and $5.9 million for Executive Vice President James Laurito). "Fortis and Central Hudson shareholders are about to get away with stealing money from the ratepayers of this community," Assemblyman Kevin Cahill, D-Kingston said at the public hearing. We call on the New York State Public Service Commission to reject the acquisition of CH Energy Group by Fortis, Inc.

Second-hand smoking should be considered child abuse under the law. Any person caught smoking around a child under the age of 18 should be punished.

There is an IMMEDIATE danger of the beautiful cyclorama building-designed by the iconic, modern American architect Richard Nuetra being demolished at any minute. This modernist building appears to be a "sore point " for the couple of hundred of "reinactors " who fill the battlefield throughout the year. Even though there are other buildings and memorials on the grounds --they don't seem to like this one because of it's "modern design"--- and they have won the ear of the Superintendent of the Park who ON HIS OWN has the power to destroy this building ! Despite a petition signed by almost 5000 people to the contrary, he is moving forward on this plan . The ONLY person who can stop the wrecking ball at this point is President Obama - who does have the authority to give the building a "reprieve" but up to this point has not responded to any "citizen" emails or letters sent to the White House. Perhaps with MoveOn's influence this historic building can be preserved for future generations. It is the one building dedicated to Peace and Coming together of both sides of that bloody war- another reason it should be preserved. Please sign so that Obama will act now in the building's behalf . Thank you .

This bill if passed, would deregulate cosmetology/licensing. By doing so, the livelihood and careers of everyone in this industry would be adversely effected i.e. Beauty schools, Educators, Licensed Professionals, Manufacturers, Distributors, etc all across the board resulting in LOST JOBS.... Just as important, without regulation and enforcement of regulations like the one we currently have in place now we would undoubtably see a decline to our industry's standards. Who would ensure that proper sanitation practices remained in place for the public? Who would ensure persons providing these services use sanctioned chemicals, implements and sterilization methods? It is absurd, and demeaning for any individual who would think it possible to provide quality skilled services without the training equal to the hundreds of thousand of us that have dedicated our entire careers to uphold the laws and regulations set forth to protect the public as well as those providing the services. There is a degree of professionalism and safety the public expects from business and those providing these services, and without regulation we lose both. It is certain the consumers would be at great risk from receiving services from unlicensed individuals posing to be professional. The public deserves and demands better than this. Get informed!!!!
