We cannot allow a foreign government to discriminate against Americans in their own country. Although they are targeting Cuban-Americans, Cuban-Americans are Americans like all other Americans who are not being banned from travelling to Cuba via ships.

Kanawha County Clerk Vera McCormick isn't accepting online registrations citing "security concerns." It's estimated 30 to 40 voters a day in Kanawha County are being denied registration because they're applying online. The WV Secretary of State Natalie Tennant that says she's concerned that voters are being "disenfranchised." The rules for voter registration are posted online at https://ovr.sos.wv.gov/Register The County Clerk should follow them, too. She must stop preventing Kanawha County citizens from registering to vote! Let the people be heard.

I would like to see Paul LePage fail himself as opposed to repeatedly failing the citizens of Maine

Hepatitis C nearly killed me. In 2014, I received a liver transplant. I was fortunate to have an insurance plan that paid for all of my related healthcare, as well as the Sovaldi-based medicine that cured my HCV infection. Over 3 million Americans are infected, most of them unable to afford Gilead Sciences $1,000 per pill price.

We don't want our livelihoods altered by this horrible event. Keep Hampton quiet! Preserve our peace!

In early April, Paypal decided not to move into Mississippi because of their new bill. New York has been stoping business with them. If this keeps up then more and more companies will follow and lose interest in dealing business with North Carolina. MLK fought for equality for everyone, but in today world we have anything that. We need to stand together and fight this bill, to the Supreme Court if needed. As Americans, it is our duty to stand up for what is right, and this is far from right. When women fought for the right to vote, many (conservatives) people did not think that women should have same rights as men, but never the less they fought and won. When MLK wanted equality for African Americans he fought, and won. All America has known is fighting; fighting for freedom, fighting for equality, fighting to save others from a worldwide treat. We have fought for so many years now, but now we need to fight again. I know the world's not perfect and will always have some problems but we become part of that problem when we do nothing to fix it. I ask you, America, please, don't become part of this problem. Help change this nation for the better and sign to remove House Bill H2.

On January 19, the Oakland City Council passed legislation establishing the Black Arts Movement Business District. We thank them, especially City Council President Lynette McElhaney and Moveon.org. It is time for the BAM Poets Choir and Arkestra to hit the road to complete the 27 City BAM Tour ancestor Amiri Baraka suggested to continue our cultural revolution and united front of progressive people.

Before I was elected to the Oregon Legislature, I worked in the tech sector – an industry that is dominated by men and often criticized for wage discrepancy among employees based on their gender. But unequal pay isn’t just a problem in the tech sector. In most industries women are paid less than their male coworkers. Today is Equal Pay Day, a symbol of the length of time women would have to work into the next year to make the same amount of money as their male counterparts. For women of color, the wage gap is even greater than the often quoted 79 cents on the dollar. In 2015, I took action on these discrepancies and championed legislation that would expand Oregon’s equal pay law, increase wage transparency, and protect employees from retaliation – a critical reform that empowers works to seek better pay. But we’re not done. I’m calling on Congress to do more to make it equal – and I hope you’ll join me. Sign the petition: Tell Congress that it’s time for equal pay for equal work. Let’s build momentum to take this important step for equality. Join me today.

The excuse my wife does taxes is not holding water. Show the taxes, the actual forms, which you can get easily from the IRS. Quit making excuses to not be transparent.

One of the largest grocery retailers in the St. Louis area has announced plans to eliminate 190 union jobs and subcontract their work to a non-union operation.

I believe that together we can give more opportunities for treatment to those with mental health problems. We have neglected mental health for too long and it's time to pursue a future in which the health of one's mind is of utmost priority.

On March 14, 2016 at 2:30 PM in the afternoon, A'mani Miller, 23 years young, beautiful, intelligent and talented, was on a work shift, delivering construction materials just like he usually did at this time on a weekday afternoon. However, On what seemed to be an ordinary Monday changed our lives forever. His mother, father, family and friends were informed that he had been a victim of a crime. A'mani was beaten, stabbed multiple times, shot multiple times and shot in the head. We believe that he may have made a pit stop on his way to work that day... We're not sure how his lifeless body was found on the 5th floor of 2125 Rockaway Parkway in The Bayview Houses located in Canarsie, Brooklyn, New York (NYC). BAYVIEW IS A GOVERNMENT HOUSING PROJECT. He did not reside there. He lives in the gentrified section of Bedford Stuyvesant in Brooklyn, NY. He had no known contacts there and he did not work there. A'mani had no criminal history and he loved everyone. The Bayview NYCHA housing project is known to be a cesspool of crime. THERE ARE NO CAMERAS and Police presence is slim. Why was this horrible crime allowed to happen on Government property ?! A'mani was loved so dearly by everyone!!! He is deeply missed. Please sign this petition... It is unacceptable that these crimes keep happening on GOVERNMENT PROPERTY. We must take action to stop it. Please pray for the family. Peace and be safe. Thank you and God Bless!
