  • Neighborhood public schools, should be good neighbors!
    The schools contribute to litter in our communities. Our neighborhoods standards, respect and appearance is harmed by the amount of trash/debris, negligently left to blow or settle. Neighborhood gutters and sewers are clogged from the trash. Flooding occurs from clogged gutters. These schools are public and funded by our taxpayers. Shouldn't they give something back to the communities they are in...besides garbage?

  • Gov. Christie: Stop Food Stamp Cuts for Up to 160,000 Households
    The Farm Bill passed last month cut the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, the new name for food stamps) . Gov. Christie could stave off these cuts and at the same time generate $54 in federal funds and $93 in economic activity for every dollar invested, all while preventing an estimated 160,000 vulnerable households from suffering a loss in benefits. Given these facts, the decision should be a no-brainer. For more details, go to: http://www.njspotlight.com/stories/14/03/12/op-ed-avoiding-food-stamp-cuts-for-up-to-160-000-households/

  • Urge Congress to Support the Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Act
    I am a life-long cyclist that has ridden in states that have been supportive of cyclists and provided safe routes, as well as states that were hostile to cyclists and did everything they could to get them off of the road. I dream of a day where bicyclists are considered when designing roads, and we create cities throughout the US that support more than just cars.

  • Keep the 17th! St Patrick's Day Parade, St Paul MN
    Lets all stand with the St Pat's Association and everything they have done over the past 47 years in St Paul has held the annual St Patrick's Day parade on the 17th of March (with the exception of Sunday when the parade is held on Saturday.) This is a tradition many families, have had for many of these years. More than not, turnout has been decreased for colder weather vs the day of the week the parade is held. It is always fun to see kids from the city schools taking a break to come out and watch, business people standing in the few skyways the parade route marches under and the same faces of those who just want to take part in the day's events. For the city to shut down the roads for maybe an hour or two max, mid day, could it possibly be that much of an inconvenience or more of the city's way to bring in more money? Due to the St Pat's Association footing the bill for the events and parade, they should have more of a voice in this as well but they need our help. Bottom line is there is far more need of events in St Paul versus our 1 day parade. Yes its great to have it on Saturdays, but its the nostalgia of being a kid and never having gone to school because your parents have pulled you out every year and then as an adult you have never been to work and start to pull your kids for that one special day. St Paul has always been a family city, lets keep those traditions alive and continue to hold our city's parade and those of family tradition to the 17th of March.

  • Don't change the clocks.
    When people went to bed and arose with the sun, changing clocks may have saved energy (i.e. candles) The practice has outlived its use. Today changing the clocks twice a year causes stress, accidents on the road and On the job, It taxes the body physically and mentally. leave the clocks alone. Nature will gradually phase in the seasons as the Good Lord intended.

  • Gov. Martinez and Legislators: Save New Mexico's vital rail artery
    Northern New Mexico and Albuquerque desperately need this vital rail artery. Not only Amtrak service will be lost to this entire area without it, but also any chance of other rail-dependent businesses which could revitalize our area's economy. Governors in Colorado and Kansas are backing a multi-state plan to save the rail line, so New Mexico's support is critical to make the plan a success!

  • Stop House Bill 1030
    Victims of violent crimes can not afford to have victim services shut down for a minimum of 6 to 12 months. This bill will affect Domestic Violence Shelters, Sexual Assault Programs, Human Trafficking Programs, Child Advocacy Centers, District Attorneys' Victim Services (attorneys and advocates), Law Enforcement Domestic Violence Units, Mothers Against Drunk Drivers, The ARC (persons with disabilities), Child Abuse Programs and Survivors of Homicide Programs. In addition, this will also cause job loss and shelters to shut-down. This bill must be stopped to allow enough time for the community, service providers and survivors of violent crimes to become educated about this bill and exercise their voice to the Senate.

  • Eliminate Government Pension Offset
    I am affected by this. I have several medical conditions that require lots of care, expensive drugs, and medical supplies. I don't know how I will manage without my husband's Social Security. My health insurance will double since I have the plan through his ex-employer.
