Your urgent help is needed to defeat a proposal to build the nation’s largest coal export terminal. The Millennium coal export terminal would ship 44 million tons of coal annually to Asia via Longview, Washington, putting the local community at risk. It would also generate more greenhouse gas pollution in Asia, contributing to climate change. For the last six years, Earthjustice’s legal team has represented local communities opposed to the project. Now we have just a few weeks left to submit public comments on the draft environmental impact statement for this massive project. Make your voice heard today. Say NO to the largest coal export terminal in the United States. The transportation of this coal poses a risk for everyone in its path. The coal would be sourced from mines in Montana and Wyoming, then loaded into uncovered boxcars to be transported by rail to the proposed terminal on the Columbia River. Coal dust from the mile-long coal trains would pollute nearby communities along the rail route. Once the coal arrived at the Longview terminal, it would sit in enormous open-air piles, where winds would blow coal dust into the city of Longview, creating a public health hazard. Coal’s future is bleak—Millennium backer Arch Coal filed for bankruptcy in January, and its dreams of mining in Montana’s Otter Creek are over. But Big Coal still wants to have a dirty coal chute to Asia as its last hope for keeping this unhealthy industry. Fortunately, the movement to stop dirty coal from polluting our towns and rivers is bigger and stronger than ever. Now is the time to raise our voices and lock out dirty coal once and for all. Please stand up to Big Coal today. Let’s make sure this proposal is stopped in its tracks once and for all.

The WV state legislature had a job to do in "regular session": pass a budget for FY 2017 and deal with a $270 million projected deficit. But, they spent their time on less important issues and now are in "special session" to try to pass a budget. If they do not pass a budget by June 30, thousands of state employees will be furloughed -- which in WV means "fired." That special session is costing WV taxpayers $35,000 per day, contributing to the deficit rather than solving it. With costs now surpassing $385,000 for their inability to do their job, they should pay the taxpayers back.

I an an RN and I am outraged by the acts of pharmaceutical companies using the tragic loss of human life to make obscene profits.

Foreign Policy magazine has reported that the Obama Administration has suspended US transfers of cluster bombs to Saudi Arabia following concerns over civilian harm from their use in Yemen, where a Saudi-led coalition has been conducting a military campaign since March 2015. A senior U.S. official acknowledged reports that the Saudi-led coalition used cluster bombs "in areas in which civilians are alleged to have been present or in the vicinity." [1] Under U.S. law, countries that receive cluster bombs from the U.S. must agree that cluster munitions “will only be used against clearly defined military targets and will not be used where civilians are known to be present or in areas normally inhabited by civilians.” [2] Reps. Conyers (MI), Ellison (MN), Grijalva (AZ), Hank Johnson (GA), McGovern (MA), Lieu (CA), and Barbara Lee (CA) have introduced an amendment [3] to the Department of Defense Appropriations Act (H.R. 5293) which would permanently ban the transfer of cluster bombs to Saudi Arabia. On June 14, House Rules Committee agreed [4] that this amendment will be considered by the full House. Urge Congress to make the President's ban on transferring cluster bombs to Saudi Arabia permanent by signing our petition.

Wall Street has no morals or limits in their quest for money and power. In fact, one of the original Wall Street hedge fund managers, Bruce Rose, CEO of Carrington Capital/Carrington Mortgage Services, has a hard working family of five in his sights – he wants their home and will stop at nothing to get it. Carmen Garcon is a registered nurse, a member of the Health Professionals & Allied Employees union (HPAE), and a devoted wife and mother of adult children, who live with her at her home in Linden. The Garcon’s purchased their home in June of 2005. Carmen and her husband were not first time homeowners; they previously had a positive experience with home ownership in Hillside. The home in Linden was meant to be a step up towards achieving the American Dream: a place where Carmen and her family could settle and call home for generations to come. However, the current servicer, Carrington Mortgage Services, LTD has turned the Garcon's dream into a living nightmare. Carmen and her husband bought the house for $300,000 and paid a down payment of $60,000. In late 2015, the Garcons successfully applied for a loan modification to ease the monthly cost of owning their home while supporting their young adult children, one who is a college student and the other who is looking for work in a competitive economy. The modification agreement clearly states a monthly sum of $2727.31, which the Garcons have paid faithfully. Carrington, however, continues to claim that the Garcons owe $3,485.00 each month, a crippling cost for any working class family. This attack on the Garcon family is not new to Carrington Mortgage Services. In fact, the company’s CEO and founder, Bruce Rose, has made a fortune from stealing the homes of hard working families all over the country. He has been featured in headlines across the country for his role in profiting from the foreclosure crisis he helped create! And Carmen Garcon and her family are his next target. But together, we can fight Bruce Rose and Carrington Capital. Sign this petition and support Carmen Garcon’s fight to save her home and join the members of NJ Communities United, HPAE and NJ Hedge Clippers! TELL CARRINGTON CAPITAL: DON’T STEAL CARMEN’S HOME!

We, the People of Washington State, call on the legislature to change current testing policy to: Remove the graduation requirement from high school standardized tests. Clarify that standardized test scores are not to be used to retain or promote students in elementary or middle schools, leaving those decisions up to school staff and parents. Standardized testing can be a good way to see if students at every school in the state know what they should know, and can do what they should be able to do at appropriate grade levels. But there are many reasons why a student may not do well on a standardized test. These one-size-fits-all assessments of learning should not keep a student who has successfully earned the appropriate credits by passing high school coursework from receiving a high school diploma. The legislature should remove the graduation requirements of state testing and use the money saved to help adequately fund schools, as required by the state Supreme Court's McCleary ruling.

State officials are derelict in funding essential services and we all suffer, starting with children.

We, the alumni of Science High and Science Park High Schools, with invested community members are proud of the tradition of excellence established by us with the guidance and leadership of extraordinary principals – Morris Lerner, Patrick Ristano, Christine Taylor and Lamont Thomas among them. The School Leadership Council (SLC) is well familiar with our school’s heritage, traditions and values. We, therefore, support the mission of its Leadership Search Committee to help select the next principal for Science Park. We understand that the search committee arrived at a unanimous recommendation bringing well qualified candidates to the final interview stage. We further understand that a second committee, selected and trained by your Talent Department, also arrived at a unanimous decision creating high expectations for a successful conclusion. Given the clear and decisive outcome presented to you, Mr. Cerf, we urge you to bring the stalled leadership search process to a final decision, which honors the thorough and inclusive work begun by our Science Park SLC almost a year ago.

The petition is about inhumane heat levels affecting guards and inmates and their families and friends. There'd be less deaths, less health conditions and less turn key in employees. As well as less law suits. If they can keep conditions at a certain temperature in the other seasons why is the summer any different, When this is the most crucial month in Texas.
