The censorship of photos of the caskets of returning war dead.

We strongly urge Princeton University to stop torturing primates and small animals in Princeton’s Green Hall. The tri-state area Anti-Vivisection Alliance says that Princeton University is one of the Garden State's most heinous sites of wanton animal torture for a multi-million dollar grant. Emily Aronson, the university’s spokesperson in 2010, presented the research as "significant discoveries that benefit humankind." Matt Fair discovered this study two years ago via the NIH and wrote an article, stating "Princeton University filed projects to study multi-sensory integration of faces and voices in primate-temporal lobes." Primates' throats, hands, and feet are permanently clamped to chairs, their heads scalped so their brains show, metal sensors are thrust into their eyes and ears. Some wake during the operations due to insufficient anesthesia. They're often denied water for 1 - 3 days, causing dehydration, burning throat, muscle cramps. This research won’t cure human disease. Instead, it teaches students not to feel compassion, to feel instead a cynical indifference to suffering. And these students will become our surgeons! Using computers makes more sense and is more reliable. Consider whether a three- or five-year-old human child might think, "Why are you doing this to me?" So does a primate! Tell Princeton to shut down this outdated, horrendous, unwarranted animal testing program, “… a profit-driven parody of empirical science, resulting in horrible suffering and death for the primates, rabbits, cats, guinea pigs and other sentient animals trapped in Princeton's laboratories of vivisection torture,” atrocities routinely occurring due to Princeton "researchers" carelessness and cynical indifference to the precious living beings at their mercy.”

1,000s of Phoenix families are in debt due to medical costs for treatment of health disorders caused by mold contamination of their rental units. Many of the Landlords which rent these living spaces know of hazardous conditions in their properties but continue to rent them to tenants as the sick families, financially devasted from the medical costs of treating their mold disorders, move out and the new families move in. Breaking this cycle of disease, bankruptcy and death is crucial to stabilizing and growing our economic success. We need to toughen the regulations which require Landlords to maintain their rental units in a livable condition and help tenants who sue to recoup their mold contamination related medical costs, or unfortunately, funeral costs.

It was just announced that AM 1090 will drop progressive talk and switch to an all sports format after the first of the year. Progressive radio listeners in the greater Seattle area are appalled at the prospect of losing the great progressive radio shows hosted by Ed Shultz, Thom Hartmann, Norman Goldman, Randi Rhodes, Stephanie Miller and others. Please join us in letting AM 1090's advertisers know that we, their customers, want progressive voices be heard! We need AM 1090 to stay progressive...or for another local station to take its place as Seattle's progressive voice.

I call on all Americans to urge Madam Secretary Hillary Clinton to run for President of the United States of America in 2016. She is a proven, results-driven leader and there is absolutely no one more qualified than her to lead our nation.

The citizens of Minnesota overwhelmingly wish to keep the Grey wolves of the state a protected species immune from hunting and trapping. We wish that wolves only be removed if threatening the life of people or property.

On November 19, 1863, the Gettysburg Address was delivered by President Lincoln as part of the dedication of Soldier's National Cemetery. In just ten sentences he was able to summarize the purpose of the Civil War and inspire the Union to continue the struggle. At this time of deep division in our country, a grand gesture from our president would be of great help.

Animals Asia rescues moon bears from the torture of crush cages the bears are kept in 24 hours a day for years in order for bile farmers to extract the bile from a permanently inserted catheter. Please help end this horrific practice.

If mendacity had resulted in Mr. Romney winning the Presidential election, he would have done the nation a great disservice. As a proponent of free markets, he should know that efficient markets require perfect information from both buyers (voters) and sellers (politicians). Alas, Mr. Obama and his campaign were not completely free of untruths either.

****UPDATE Nov 26**** The City Council has met our petition requests! Public hearing will be scheduled soon!

In the midst of revising its Unified Development Ordinance, Raleigh is about to miss out on the opportunity for progressive zoning that would allow urban agriculture to flourish in all parts of the city. Recommendations for new urban ag rules have been made to the City Council, but the planning process threatens to sweep them aside. Tell the Mayor and the City Council to open a planning session for public comment, so that those who know urban agriculture best can speak up!
