  • Bring Down Westboro Baptist Church
    The members and head of this so-called "church" have no ministry degrees, but are all attorneys, with an agenda to harm the progress made in ths country toward civil liberties and equal rights. These individuals hide behind Free Speach to launch their hate-fueled agenda by picketing funerals of fallen soldiers, and victims of gun violence. This is not the purpose of ANY religion, so why do they have a tax exempt status and call themsleves a church when they clearly are a hate group? Please sign the pitition to Mr. Steven T. Miller, Acting Comissioner of the Internal Revenue Service in charge of exemption status and let these haters know we don't buy into their viewpoints. Make them pay for the hate they spread out of their own pockets and NOT be funded by the Government and our Taxes!

  • NRA: Donate to mental health awareness
    The NRA spends untold sums of money to keep weapons of mass destruction, like the assault rifle used by Adam Lanza to kill twenty innocent children, on the streets. Now Republic politicians and others in the pocket of the NRA are belaboring their talking point that this is a mental health issue and has nothing to do with guns. I want to know how much money the NRA will donate to help remove the stigma of mental illness and provide funding for the professionals working on this issue

  • Dick's, stop selling semi-automatic guns permanently
    Most of the guns used in mass murder rampages, like the one that took place at Sandy Hook Elementary School, were purchased legally. Dick's Sporting Goods, where Adam Lanza reportedly attempted to purchase a semi-automatic weapon last week, has suspended the sale of these weapons for an undefined period of time.

  • Foreclosure
    Losing home to illegal foreclosure. Disabled Vet and partner had lousy lawyer. And Mellon's attorneys filed illegal documents in Bankruptcy and Civil court. Evil Judge let foreclosure go through to Bank of New York Mellon who has no standing. No one cares, no one is listening. Foreclosures should stop now, stop kicking people out of their homes. We had no due process, so many illegal things happened during this whole process. Banks have the courts in their pockets. So angry at the system. We have no where to go, we can't get an apartment. More to the story...

  • Steve King: Stop The Benghazi Witch Hunt
    Steve King has already admitted he is, "clueless on Benghazi," but that isn't stopping him from telling every media outlet that will listen that it is, "ten times worse than Watergate." We did not send King to congress to waste taxpayer dollars pushing an ideological agenda. Iowans need a farm bill, sensible gun control legislation, money for education, and health care. Steve King needs to make Iowans' needs his priority in Washington.

  • Rupert Murdoch: Let's have a real conversation about gun control
    This is the time to have an honest and open discussion about gun control in America. Why shouldn't Fox News be part of that conversation? While Rupert Murdoch has personally come out in favor of restricting access to guns, New York Magazine and the Huffington Post have reported that producers at Fox News were given instructions not to talk about gun-control policy on air. Let's hold Fox News responsible and demand that they allow hosts and guests to discuss gun control on the air.

  • WHKW - Hate Speech in the Name of God Crosses Line
    “Pastor” Ernie Sanders is heard nightly over a nationally-syndicated program originating with WHKW in Cleveland in affiliation with Salem Communications. While he enjoys the right to preach what he pleases to his own congregation, his overtly offensive message of vile hatred, intolerance and slander does not speak well of a station and network purporting to bring people to Christ. Sanders is a classic example why many have come to believe that all Christians and people of faith in general are delusional right-wing extremists. He is one-step removed from Westborough Baptist. It’s time we stood up against the hate.

  • Ban violent video games in movie theater lobbies
    My grandson and I went to rave cinema in north haven, ct. This theater frequently has movies for young children. In the lobby they have a video game with two assault type rifles attached to the sides of the game. The goal of the game is to shoot the gun to see how many figures you can kill. I see kids and adults playing this game and becoming very excited as they obtain high scores for numbers of figures killed. I believe this contributes to gun violence and should be removed from theater lobbies.
