Drivers should be able to use the toll booths to pay for driving on the Mass Pike as opposed to using EZ Pass.

Right to work states have higher workplace injuries, fatalities, lower wages and annual incomes, less funding spent on public school education, and typically RTW states people are less likely to be able to afford health insurance. Right to work is wrong for Kentucky in every way.

From MoveOn.org to the Nation magazine, progressives have clearly chosen Bernie Sanders as their candidate. It's time for Elizabeth Warren to be true to her own politics and make clear she endorses Bernie Sanders.

We, the homeowners and members of the San Lorenzo Village Homes Association, do not agree with the organization San Lorenzo Village Homes Association's revision to the fence policy that was mailed out to us in the December 2015 Village Briefs. We do not want this revision to pass. This is a waste of everyone's time and money.

My name is Petula Higgins and I am a grandparent of two children who attend I CAN SCHOOLS. I have worked in homecare my whole life, and the reason I do that is because I can help to take care of people who cannot care for themselves. Teachers are apart of our families and help children grow each year. My hope is that I CAN teachers and staff can gain a collective voice to advocate for the best interest of our children. Teachers and Staff at I CAN SCHOOLS are forming their teachers union to: reduce turnover, strengthen the voice of educators, and create a partnership between families, administration, and teachers. In 2014, I CAN fired seven teachers who had spoken up to advocate for more resources for our students and for a voice in curriculum. Eventually, the NLRB found merit in 17 charges against I CAN for the wrongful terminations, surveillance and intimidation. In 2016, I CAN is again under federal investigation for trying to silence teachers who want to advocate for students without fear of being fired for speaking up. Teachers are joining together with I CAN parents, faith leaders and community organizations in calling on I CAN SCHOOLS stop the intimidation and listen to the needs of the Cleveland community. We demand that I CAN SCHOOLS cease their illegal intimidation and interference of their teachers and staff and remain neutral with respect to their teachers' right to form a union.

Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder is hiding information, refusing to release correspondence and documents around the decision to use contaminated water in Flint. Elected officials have a duty to protect the public, not harm us. In Flint, they failed miserably. Every American, especially the children who were poisoned, deserves the truth of exactly how this happened. And because Michigan is one of just two states with a blanket exemption for the governor’s office to the Freedom of Information Act, we’ll only learn what really happened in Flint if we stand together and demand it. We need your help to fight back. Stand up against this breathtaking abuse of executive privilege and call on Gov. Snyder to come clean about the Flint water crisis.

The job of the media is to give Americans the information they need to make informed decisions. Donald Trump gets in the way of this process, and has nothing substantive to contribute to our country or to the 2016 presidential election. We need to call on the media to ignore Donald Trump and focus on the issues. Let's be the informed electorate we want to see in the world.

Bipartisan legislation has been introduced in Congress to repeal provisions of the recently passed visa waiver program reform bill that categorically barred European citizens from the program who happen to be dual nationals of Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Sudan. Different countries have different laws about nationality, which means, for example, that some European citizens are "nationals" of Iran if their father happened to be Iranian, even if they never set foot in Iran in their entire lives. [1] Reps. Justin Amash (R-MI), John Conyers (D-MI), Thomas Massie (R-KY), and Debbie Dingell (D-MI) have introduced H.R. 4380, Equal Protection in Travel Act of 2016. [2] Similar legislation is also being introduced by Senators Jeff Flake (D-AZ) and Dick Durbin (D-IL). [3] The Obama Administration supports the legislation. [4] Because the visa waiver program is reciprocal with Europe, passage of this legislation will protect US citizens who are dual nationals from discrimination when they travel to Europe. Urge Members of Congress to co-sponsor this legislation to repeal discrimination by signing our petition.

The current chair of the Democratic Party is not only ignoring the people who have been long-time members of the party, but she is also failing to even discuss her intentions with her own co-chairs. The rank and file of the Democratic Party may well fail to show up to vote which could result in the next presidential election going to the GOP. Don't wait and see if that happens. Take action now to remove her since she refuses the hundreds of thousands of requests and petitions for her to step down. Leaving Debra Wasserman Shultz continue to serve as Chair of the DNC is the biggest threat to returning any valuable democratic leaders to not only the House, but also the Senate and the Presidency.
