Purdue University Calumet is a safe haven for scholarly debate and academic curiosity. However, when students are faced with harassment within the classroom from the professors that are meant to stimulate intellectual dialogue, our education takes a toll. Professor Maurice Eisenstein crossed the line when he began making derogatory comments in the classroom, as well as mentioning students and co-workers by name in a public forum on Facebook. We're calling on him to take it all back, by simply apologizing to his students and co-workers.

I am urging other citizens of the state of Ohio, to tell our new senator, Rob Portman, to do the right thing as a member of the Super Committee.

Dog and cat overpopulation forces over 4 million animals to be euthanized each year at public shelters. In addition to the cost in lives, there is a financial and emotional cost to this problem. The aim of every town or city with a public or private shelter should be to first reduce animal population through low cost spay/neuter surgery and education, including trap, neuter, release and management of feral cats, second, increase adoption campaigns to find homes for existing animals, and third, strive for a "No Kill Shelter" within the next five years.

North Carolina House Bill 577 would legalize and establish a licensing, taxing, and distribution regime.

Some 30 years ago I watched the Independence Day parade from Monmouth to Independence, OR... Small town America swelling from a combined population of 12,000 to over 45,000 participants and spectators for the full day of USA Independence Day celebration beginning with the fire hall breakfast and then a 2 1/2 mile parade that everyone is welcome to join. I thought... “What if 45,000 people we're to turn out for INTERDEPENDENCE DAY???” ~~~ International Interdependence Day, a global tribute to the importance of recognizing our inter-connectedness... It became the Zambian Model UN recommendation at the Model United Nations National General Assembly as brought forward by American International School Lusaka high school student, Merijn Zbynek Cornelis Wijchers, (from The Netherlands) in November, 2001. Sent on to the Model UN files in NYC, it went into storage... Let's bring it back to life and make it happen! It's about time!!!

Do not sign the Super Committee's bill to make cuts to Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid. These are not property of the Congress or Senates to play with as they wish. They are insurance policies that the American people have paid for during their working lives.

1. All Cheltenham Township Commissioners meetings need to be televised live and also for rebroadcast 2. Meetings need to be transparent 3. Many residents cannot attend in person on a regular basis

Americans are paying the high price of a Congress that is more interested in bipartisan infighting and sabotaging efforts of the President to pass proposals. Everyone of us is affected by their actions. Precious time is being wasted while people are suffering.

Fans and friends of the STL Cardinals who want management to know that "if you sign him, we will come." Albert is as much a heritage player as Stan the Man, The Wizard, Lou, Gibby, Mac and beyond. Find a way to make this work out for everyone... we believe you can and should make Mr. Pujols a "Cardinal Forever."

Studded tires cause huge damage to the roads and provide no safety benefit to drivers, except in extremely rare instances. Studdless tires do as well or better than studded tires in almost all instances. Oregon activist Jeff Bernards is organizing to get this initiative on the ballot. We need thousands of signatures on real State of Oregon initiative petitions to get this ban on studded tires on the ballot. Take action by signing this petition to join Jeff in passing this important ballot initiative here in Oregon.

A petition to Governor Malloy and relevant committees to prevent Jackson Labs from coming to CT. Jackson Labs is a forced breeding facility for animals who will be abused through experimentation in labs and the Governors plan will not have the fiscal benefits he has claimed. Animals used in experimentation endure the agony of isolation, fear, extreme confinement, invasive procedures without anesthesia or pain medicine, cold temperatures and noise. Please prevent such a breeding ground from entering our State.
