As a leading manufacturer of neonics, Bayer has contributed to countless bee deaths around the world, putting our very food supply at risk. We need bees to pollinate 2/3 of the food crops we eat every day -- healthy fruits and vegetables matter far more than Bayer's extra profits! So now we need to show Bayer’s CEO that his toxic chemicals are tarnishing the Bayer brand and harming its business.

In the early 1900s, white Montgomery County politicians wanted to appeal to Confederate veterans to help diminish the potential influence of former black slaves. Thus, the Confederate statue was erected on the grounds of the Rockville courthouse and Confederate military service was honored. The Rockville statue should never have been placed on public property and it is long past time for it to be removed. Confederate soldiers should not be honored as "heroes" as the Rockville statue does. Those who chose to fight for the Confederacy were fighting for slavery and white supremacy; a cause admired by the South Carolina murderer and racist groups across the country. We call on the Montgomery County, MD Council to recognize the damage that Confederate symbols cause within our community. Please act to remove the Rockville statue and send a message that our society does not honor traitors who fought for slavery. We do not "...Love the Thin Gray Line".

I feel that Jello Biafra has been wronged and that this issue should be fixed right away. He owned those songs not manifesto and Ray so please listen to me when I say this needs to be fix.I have been affected by it due to the fact that manifesto overprices the heck out of their music and has prevented me from purchasing any Dead Kennedys music.

I have written and criticized the policy of Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD). I am a psychologist. I feel a sense of urgency. I understand the Pentagon is in psychological denial, reluctant to admit they are wrong. They claim they are protecting us, yet a trigger alert multiplies the danger to our families and our world. The generals are proud. But soon, before it is too late, they must change course.

Closed Motorcycle lane on 91 Freeway Westbound and Eastbound . My Beloved Husband of 14 years and father of our children was killed on the 91 freeway because he was cut off by a car who was stopped on the line in a traffic jam. If they would build a motorcycle lane like they have bicycle lanes we will be saving thousands of lives. These riders are trying to get to a job that is far away and saving money by riding .. give them a chance. sign for the fallen riders of the 91 freeway, Since the freeway construction is going on maybe caltrans can figure out a way to add in this lane.. please sign.. Thank You

State Senator Marty Golden is out of touch with the needs of the Bay Ridge community and America at large. The recent “joke” posted on his Facebook page about the stoning of gay people is distasteful and unacceptable. This incident is merely another in a long line of examples which reveal Senator Golden’s disregard of the community he has been sworn to serve. The Senator needs to recognize all of his constituents as equal citizens.

Governor Christie and his predecessors which include the New Jersey House and Senate have brought about the worst pension crisis in New Jersey history and the very real possibility that public employees will lose part or all of their benefits due to their inability to work together to come to a solution. By adopting an accounting change that will save the state an estimated $2.5 billion annually the state can secure a loan to fully fund the pension with no net cost to employees, no direct cost to public institutions, and no increase in taxes and allow pension fund to be saved. This will allow the state to improve it's credit rating and save the most important asset public employees rely on in retirement. Public employees and tax paying citizens should all join in to force the state government and public institutions to adopt the accounting change in order to save the pension system to avoid the inevitable short term kick the can down the road fix that has led to the current pension crisis. Otherwise, there's a possibility that the fix will come at the expense of everyday taxpayers who are not responsible for their governments inability to solve the pension crisis. Without the $2.5 billion annual accounting change savings, taxpayers will be asked at some point to come to the rescue of the pension system thru higher taxes and public employees will be asked to increase their contributions and give up a big percentage of their benefits, all because the state and public institutions cannot ask for more revenue to put into the system without raising taxes.

DACA students, otherwise known as Undocumented Students with a Legal Presence, are students that were brought to the United States of America for a better life at a young age. In June of 2012, we finally got the opportunity to legally attend college by receiving DACA. That was the first and most important step, but now almost HALF A MILLION of us are not financially stable to be able to afford those out of pocket costs. Many of us are hard-working taxpayers who are just not able to afford an education. Paying Out-of-State Tuition without ANY government help is very difficult for anyone, American Citizen or NOT. Help us bring In-State Tuition for DACA students!

For too long politicians in Washington have sat on their hands and let the NRA use fear to prevent action. It is time to come to grips with the realization that stemming the massive flow of illegal and legal guns into our cities is a fight for the lives of our mothers, fathers, sons and daughters. We have let America down when it comes to addressing the gun violence epidemic in too many of our neighborhoods.

The USA’s National Women’s team just won their THIRD World Cup, but FIFA is still treating our champions as second-class citizens. The high-profile Women’s World Cup final match shattered television records with over 25 million viewers -- making it the most watched soccer game in U.S. history.(1) Yet, our world champions are being paid FORTY TIMES LESS than their male counterparts did for LOSING the World Cup last year during the first round ($576 million vs. $15 million)!(2) FIFA, which generates billions in revenue, also forced women — but not the men — to play this year’s World Cup on artificial turf. This not only increased the risk of injury, but also increased temperatures on the field by 20-30 degrees. During tournament, field temperatures reached 120 degrees.(3) It is no secret that gender-pay disparity runs rampant in the United States with women making 78 cents per dollar to men.(4) And this blatant pay discrimination by FIFA may be the most extreme case yet. It is time for FIFA’s executives to take a stand for equal pay, stop underscoring our heroic female leaders, and provide them with the same awards and privileges as men. Join me to stand alongside women and men all across the globe to right this injustice and ensure that our champions and all women receive equal pay. 1. http://variety.com/2015/tv/news/womens-world-cup-carli-lloyd-usa-win-soccer-ratings-1201534249/ 2. http://www.politico.eu/article/world-cup-women-pay-gap-gender-equality/ 3. http://thinkprogress.org/sports/2015/07/06/3677105/fifa-will-pay-us-womens-championship-team-4-times-less-mens-teams-lost-first-round/ and http://www.sportingnews.com/soccer/story/2015-06-03/womens-world-cup-turf-war-fifa-canada-artificial-turf-natural-grass 4. http://www.newrepublic.com/article/121530/women-color-make-far-less-78-cents-mans-dollar
