    If you have ever enjoyed the shade those trees provide and don't want to see them cut please call the city and ask to talk to Alex Brown or James Marshal and ask them to stop this insanity.

  • FCC: Stop the Charter-Time Warner merger!
    After Comcast failed the first time, Charter has announced that they want to take a crack at buying Time Warner Cable. This new deal, with transactions valued at nearly $90 billion, would allow Charter and Comcast to control nearly two-thirds of the nation's high-speed broadband customers. Some analysts think that the end result of Charter's proposal could actually make them BIGGER than Comcast. Once again, we'll have companies that have no interest in improving broadband infrastructure, service or speeds. Mergers are bad for American consumers — and a direct threat to the net neutrality rules we fought so hard for. We need MORE competition in the broadband market, not less.

  • Petition to let Scott Howard go home to his famly
    I am proud to call this man my daddy! It is outrageous that with all his accomplishments and no conduct related issues while incarcerated that they continue to keep him from me and my family. Both of the men that my dad were tried with have been paroled out of the State of Wisconsin. Why is my dad still there? He hasn’t caught any other cases and has been a model prisoner. He has taken classes to better himself and has held continuous jobs so that he can continue to grow his skills. He is currently learning to work on engines; small 2 stroke engines as well as big diesel engines. Everything he does in there, he does to better himself so that he has a future when he comes home. You have had him for 30 years. Please let me have him for the next 30. I, my son, my family and my dad have suffered long enough. It’s time for him to come home and start his life over and be the father and grandfather that he hasn’t had the chance to be. I was 9 years old when my dad was taken from me. I will be 40 in August. My son (my dad's only grandchild) is now 21. He has seen his grandpa once in his whole life. The one thing that my Grandparents want to see in their last years is for their son to come home. Please give my dad the opportunity to spend those last few years with his parents.

  • Expand Social Security for All
    The Petition is to expand Social Security. This petition will give momentum to a national conversation that will bust the myths surrounding Social Security promulgated by the Koch Brothers Foundation that morphed into the CATO Institute. I was inspired after reading Social Security Works All Generations Plan because it impacts the entire Obama Coalition & is a dynamite GOTV plan.

  • Release Eric Rivera to his loving family
    I am Eric’s mother. My whole family has long been waiting for him and we know he is ready. There must be a way that parole is opened up for these prisoners. Upon closing I pray that my son is allowed the opportunity of coming back home. His internal scars will forever remind him of his bad choices. I have faith that on top of that mountain of NO’S there is a YES for our family. We will forever be graciously thankful.

  • All-Way Stop Signs to Protect OUR Children
    Years of asking for either speeds bumps or traffic lights have not come to fruition and have had the Fire Department oppose both. We recently had a fatality and there have been numerous accidents due to the high speed going past this elementary and pre-school location. The Police Commissioner agrees with the all-way stops signs along with our Senator, Delegate and City Council Representative.

  • Tell the EPA: Monarchs Over Monsanto!
    For nearly twenty years, Roundup Ready crops have been planted on farmland across the country and sprayed with increasing levels of Roundup. Roundup's active ingredient is the herbicide glyphosate, which kills milkweed, the one plant that monarchs rely on as habitat to lay their eggs. As milkweed has disappeared, monarch populations have declined steeply. The Environmental Protection Agency is currently considering how best to protect monarch butterflies and will be accepting public comments until Monday, August 24. Tell the EPA to protect monarch butterflies by banning the use of Roundup!

  • Connecticut's policy of choice does not extend to Medicaid patients
    Dental amalgam is 50 % Mercury. Mercury is a neurotoxin, a reproductive toxin, and a pollutant of global concern due to its significant negative effects on human health and the environment. There are Mercury-free alternatives and half of U.S. Dentists have abandoned the use of amalgam, most favoring composite fillings. However, the State of Connecticut expelled from Medicaid any dentist who Is Mercury-free. The policy states, " if your office cannot provide amalgam services, please have your patients call the Connecticut Dental Health Partnership ... to locate a new dental home"

  • Solebury Supervisors: Please Listen to Your Constituents!
    On May 5 the Solebury Board of Supervisors pledged to not proceed with the funding of a new public works building if bids exceeded the $2.7 million authorized. Yet a narrow majority of the supervisors voted to proceed despite a bid that is already $122,000 over budget for a loosely defined project that is reduced in scale and neglects hundreds of thousands of dollars in additional costs that Solebury taxpayers will be forced to pay for. This is not financially responsible nor is it truthful.
