• Say no to the Michigan Wolf Hunt
    Every American alive today has seen the state of endangerment that many species are in today. In Alaska, the Polar Bear. In Florida, the Condor. I do not want to live to see a vital animal in Michigan be hunted for sport in the state of Michigan.

  • Enbridge Oil Pipeline 5 is a serious threat to the Great Lakes
    This 62 year old tar sands pipeline is a serious threat to the Great Lakes. It has poor maintenance and is operated by Enbridge, known to have repeated pipeline leaks in their system and owners of the line that devastated the Kalamazoo River. A leak from this line, already known to have pinhole leaks, will be an environmental and economic catastrophe in the Great lakes.

  • Don't Prevent Local Progress
    The Michigan State House just passed House Bill 4052, which would take power away from communities in order to protect corporate profits. Now it's coming up for a vote in the State Senate. Special interests shouldn’t be allowed to overturn decisions they don’t like made by local governments, but now they’re trying to prevent local laws that reflect our values, like making our workplaces healthier and requiring community benefit agreements when taxpayer resources are used in development projects. Tell your senator, committee members, and sponsor Rep. Poleski to protect local progress today.

  • Tax Assessment on Nursing homes
    I accepted responsibility of a neighbor who has no family. She entered a nursing home as a full time resident in January. She has long term healthcare insurance which covers a majority of the expense but not all of it. When they sent me a bill for the uncovered balance there was a separate 6% tax assessment. I was amazed that such a tax was passed back in 2002. I believe this is a way charging the tax payers twice. Our tax dollars are being used to pay for people with no assets and then the state is charging the county another tax of 6%. With the growing number of people living longer this is going to be a windfall for the state to put money back into the general fund to be used as they please.

  • Facebook don't allow people to add us to groups without permission!
    Because I have over 3,500 Facebook friends, I am often added to several groups a day. It takes time that I could be using in other ways to remove myself. A couple of the groups have endorsed beliefs that I do not share or endorse. I want the freedom to choose which groups I join.

  • Congress: Support Pregnant Workers Fairness Act!
    Nobody should have to choose between a job and healthy pregnancy, especially at the moment they need it most. Recently introduced with BIPARTISAN support, the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act would make it unmistakable: Employers must provide reasonable accommodations to pregnant workers who need them. Despite the Pregnancy Discrimination Act's requirement that pregnant workers receive equal treatment, the fact is that some employers are still firing pregnant employees for requesting simple accommodations, such as avoiding heavy lifting or even being able to take extra water breaks. Tell your members of Congress to support the Pregnant Worker Fairness Act now!

  • WiRSA Board of Directors and Retired K-12 School Super.
    I believe we have had and can continue to have a excellent Education for our K-12 students, our Technical College system, the UW System as well as the Private Colleges. The idea that we are going not only reduce economic support for these institutions now there is a proposal to reduce requirements to teach our students. I believe does not support the principals that have governed our Great State.

  • Tell Gov. Cuomo: Fast-food Workers Deserve $15 an Hour!
    The biggest victory yet in the Fight for $15 hangs in the balance right where it started: in New York. A wage board is holding hearings across the state to consider raising wages for fast-food workers. But Gov. Cuomo makes the final decision. He says he wants to fight for working families. Will he prove it and raise wages to $15/hr? Or will he give in to restaurant industry pressure and set the minimum wage much lower? Add your name below and tell Gov. Cuomo: fast-food workers need $15!

  • Everyone Has the Right to Due Process of Law
    Using drones to target people creates fear. It is an act of terrorism. It is our duty to oppose such acts and reduce fear, not to perform such acts and create more fear in the world.

  • Tell the Delaware State Senate to Support Same-Day Registration Today!
    Every eligible American should have an equal opportunity to vote, and it should be free, fair and easily accessible. But due to outdated standards and practices, far too many people find themselves excluded from exercising this right. Same-Day Registration (SDR) is a pro-voter reform that fixes this problem and re-orients our democratic systems back towards the people. Senator Margaret Rose Henry is working to expand voting rights in Delaware by sponsoring an SDR bill that will allow eligible Delaware voters to register to vote on Election Day and then immediately cast a ballot. SDR pays numerous dividends. First, it provides an important opportunity to dramatically increase voter registration and electoral participation, as SDR states typically rank among the highest in the nation in voter turnout. Second, SDR remedies inaccurate voter rolls and protects the integrity of the vote, by allowing voters to update their records at all polling locations. Third, SDR is cost-effective, as it reduces the need for paper provisional ballots — ballots that often go uncounted in Delaware. SDR particularly facilitates higher turnout among marginalized communities historically underrepresented in our democracy, including (but not limited to) citizens who are low-income, young people, and people of color. In a 1957 speech titled "Give Us The Ballot," Dr. King made a vivid case for why voting rights are so critical in our society: "So long as I do not firmly and irrevocably possess the right to vote I do not possess myself. I cannot make up my mind — it is made up for me. I cannot live as a democratic citizen, observing the laws I have helped to enact — I can only submit to the edict of others." Tell the Delaware State Senate to adopt a common-sense upgrade to the state’s electoral system, and ensure that all those who are qualified to vote possess the most efficient means to do so.
