My name is Nubia Guajardo and on February 25th I lost the love of my life, and the father of my children. Recently the UFW shared with all of you the story of the tragic death of my love Randy Vasquez, who died drowned in a manure pond at Riverview Dairy, which provides milk to Darigold, located in Mabton, (eastern) WA. I've lived in Sunnyside, WA for almost all my life, a place surrounded by dairies. At this point in my life I have gotten used to the potent smell of manure and the flies; I just can't get used to being without Randy. Through this email I want to thank you for your support. However, we still need to do more. Neither Darigold, nor the farm owner have reached out to me or the UFW after Randy drowned. Can you imagine how awful it was to explain Randy’s death to my children? All of the people who loved Randy want to know what Darigold and the farm have done to ensure worker safety. I want to make sure that no other family has to endure the pain of losing their loved one and also that no other dairy worker has to endure the harsh working conditions Randy experienced as a dairy worker. He, like many other dairy workers around here, worked in an unsafe workplace. He told me he got his wages shorted. He got injured on the job before. He told me that he brought his own drinking water to work and he described having to eat his meal as he milked cows. I know he never thought that he would lose his life drowning in a manure pit. Darigold and their farms claim to take pride nurturing families around the world with the milk and dairy products they produce. I would like for them to take the same pride to secure the safe and healthy working conditions of those who make their products possible. Please help me ask Jim Wegner, Darigold CEO for a meeting by signing this petition today!

This civil court case in California where I was awarded a home as partial payment on a money judgment owed to me.. In 2004 the people who owed me had tried to get several loans against the house before I got it and were turned down by three title companies because of my recorded judgment. These people had a daughter who worked at First American Title and she had her cousins wife apply for a loan and asked them to use First American. The daughter worked at the title plant and withheld my judgment so the bank would give her the loan so she could pull out $139k for her father. They got the loan and when I told the bank and the title company they committed fraud to get the loan they said prove it. After many more years in court I got the deed overturned because of the fraud. Wells Fargo didn't care that this was the only asset I had and that the people who committed the fraud and owed the bank over $139k hadn't been on title since 2009. Wells Fargo could've collected their money from the title company, but chose not to do the right thing. So on 4/14/15 they foreclosed on that loan and took my house to pay the fraudulent loan. Of course Wells Fargo told me if I didn't like what they where doing I should get an attorney. Over the years I had spent over $100k in this battle and had no money left to fight. I've had 3 back surgeries over the past 4 years and been on disability as a result. Attorney's and the court system are the one's who put innocent people in a position where at some point you don't have anything left to fight for what is right. You can do everything the court ask and be 100% right, but if you don't have the best attorney it doesn't matter. If I didn't have God and a loving family I would be really lost. Your support means the world to me. God bless

The town board has begun a costly legal battle with the helicopter community and most of the wealthy homeowners in East Hampton. They believe they can use airport funds to fund the battle. These funds are meant for airport maintenance, not to fund the defense of flawed noise data.

Bond lies and spreads hatred

I've been personally effected by this law & don't want to see others going through what I am

Mr Bond is the founder of #Bluehand - a political movement against politically correct speech. He is liked and respected by everyone but his account has been suspended because of a misunderstanding and because the trolls do not like him. We want him reinstated and with a promise he will not be suspended again.

It was one of the worst videos of police murder we have ever seen.[1] South Carolina police officer Michael Slager viciously killed 50-year-old Walter Scott by fatally shooting him eight times in the back. In a harrowing video, Officer Slager is also seen possibly planting evidence at the crime scene and violently handcuffing Mr. Scott as he lay dying. Officer Slager has been charged with first-degree murder. This is a good first step. But it’s only one step. No mother should have to fear that a loved one could face harm at the hands of those charged with protection. Join us in urging President Obama to sign an executive order enforcing and expanding bans on racial bias in policing. Sign on to MomsRising's petition and our message below, which we'll deliver to the White House. _________________________________________ Dear President Obama, A mother should never have to fear that her children could be killed or harmed at the hands of those sworn to protect them. But study after study is showing this happens every day. The national crisis of racially motivated and discriminatory policing requires your executive action. According to FBI statistics, law enforcement officers kill African Americans approximately every 3 days, and other estimates put this deadly number at almost every day. Studies show that in addition to causing deaths at disproportionate and inhumane rates, there is a pattern of unjust stops, abuse, and arrests of black and brown people in our nation. Every day, families are torn apart, children are robbed of their futures, and our democracy is weakened. We cannot afford to wait any longer for the concrete, structural reforms needed to keep communities safe. And the unacceptable non-indictment of Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson highlights deep-seated, structural problems with the enforcement of civil rights protections that require your immediate intervention. I strongly urge you to issue an executive order enforcing and expanding federal bans on discriminatory policing, strengthening systems of police discipline, ordering the immediate collection of nationwide data on police use of force, ending federal anti-drug grants and the Defense Department's 1033 program, and massively re-investing in community controlled policing. Anything less is unacceptable. There are enough federal civil rights laws on the books to hold police officers and departments fully accountable when they discriminate, injure or kill civilians. But we need your leadership to ensure that they are enforced. A number of federal policies, such as the 1033 program, are responsible for creating these intolerable conditions of abuse and police brutality and must be terminated. Unless definitive action is taken to end these destructive polices and enforce federal civil rights law, our nation will continue to have an unequal, deadly, broken system of justice and policing that violate human rights and cannot be trusted by all. I hope you treat this matter with the utmost seriousness and do everything in your power to end the policies and practices that fuel militarized, abusive policing. Your latest initiatives are important steps in the right direction, Mr. President, but we need more. We need an executive order.

I have been personally affected by this and feel employers are wrong in not providing paid time off to recover from an illness. We shouldn't have to choose between loosing money or coming to work sick. This is morally wrong.

Partisan redistricting steals all of our votes and our voices. It is like the fox guarding the hen house.

The Silver Triangle neighborhood, nestled between Studio City's busy Ventura Blvd. business district, Laurel Canyon, and the Santa Monica Mountains, wants to be restored to a safe school neighborhood where residents can move about safely, walk their children to school, cycle and drive. We have an adjacent elementary school with 900 students and a smaller elementary/secondary school within the Triangle. Wilacre/Fryman Canyon hiking is next door and brings hundreds of people daily to our streets. Recently, our residents have been suffering from the intrusive and damaging effects of Google Maps, Waze, GPS and other technologies that provide drivers with alternative traffic routes, resulting in thousands of non-local drivers cutting through our neighborhood daily. Further, due to the cumulative effects of major developments past and proposed, including recent and aggressive expansion of restaurants and "chain stores" along the Ventura Blvd. corridor between Whitsett and Colfax, increased high-density housing projects and the proposed development of Sportsman's Landing, we are now and will become increasingly overrun with vehicles, well beyond our street capacity. We want the City of Los Angeles to institute meaningful and effective traffic calming measures immediately, reducing air and noise pollution and protecting residents' safety from excessive, often unlawful and unhealthful traffic, which is degrading our quality of life.

Over the last 5 years Governor Christie's Economic Development Authority has given $5.4 BILLION to the wealthiest and most politically connected .01 percent of New Jersey corporations – at a cost to our underfunded schools, crumbling roads and bridges, the state pension fund and struggling property taxpayers. Enough! J.P. Morgan. Lockheed Martin. Prudential. Panasonic. Citibank – all of them have received tens of millions in public dollars from Chris Christie. In exchange for tax cuts, they are supposedly creating jobs. But we have no idea whether they are actually doing so, because Chris Christie has never even bothered to ask them, despite being required to by law. In many cases we know for a fact that corporations just moved jobs from town to town. The worst, like Citibank and Campbell’s Soup, took the tax breaks and laid people off anyway. Here’s the worst part: every dollar doled out to Prudential is a dollar that can’t be spent fixing a bridge, paying a schoolteacher, or making college more affordable. While giving out billions in subsidies with one hand, Governor Christie has cut property tax credits for middle-class families and the Earned Income Tax Credit for people struggling on the brink with the other. These reckless subsidies have skewed our state budgets out of balance and put the interests of NJ’s richest residents and corporations ahead of the rest. Enough is enough.
