We need to help Mrs Clinton as to whom will be her running mate in the 2016 Presidential Election

As "fiscal stewards" for the taxpayers of Greenville County, SC, the Greenville County School Board wants to sell a decades old park to make a quick buck. As taxpayers, WE would pay for the initial development of the infrastructure. What we would spend in the long run would be far greater than an immediate $2.5 million gain. We would spend more, have more traffic and lose precious green space. Remember, once green spaces are developed, they do not come back. Keep the green in Greenville! www.savetindalpark.com

I want to wake up people in this country that have given up on important issues that Affect us all

My nephew Gary Crocker is a blind vendor for a roadside rest area. His sight is a challenge even under the best conditions. The purpose of AB 1353 is to amend the California Streets and Highways Code eliminating the current discriminatory practices by the California Department of Transportation on the blind Safety Roadside Rest Area vendors of the Business Enterprises Program. Currently blind SRRA vendors participating in the BEP are being discriminated against regarding the operational expenses of the BEP vending facilities at the state's safety roadside rest areas. Supporting AB 1353 will correct this injustice that has been allowed in burdening hard working blind individuals participating in this state program for the blind.

As a former victim of rape myself, I humbly accept the request to stand up as a local progressive, bypassing Washington, D.C., to make the voices of the nation's fathers, mothers, daughters, and sons heard. I am proud to assist the great silver state of Nevada on this journey as a leading, progressive conscious state who won't stand for allowing a statue of limitations on such a gross injustice as rape.

Climate change feels real and personal in the mountains of Southern Oregon. Winter has disappeared for two years. Last summer a catastrophic forest fire burned seven square miles of forest in our neighborhood. If current trends continue, we expect even more terrible impacts. We feel that HB 3470 provides an exceptional opportunity for taking timely, effective action against greenhouse gas emissions and global warming. HB 3470 otherwise known as the Climate Stability and Justice Act, has passed the scrutiny of the Energy and Environmental Committee and is the only climate change legislation still alive in the current legislative session. Thanks to chief sponsor Rep. Phil Barnhart and Reps. Peter Buckley and Paul Holvey, who signed on early as co-sponsors, this bill has gained support among Democratic leadership and appears to have a chance to reach Governor Brown's desk. HB 3470 is modeled on California AB 32, enacted in 2006. Over the past eight years, AB 32 has capped new sources of greenhouse gas pollution, survived a referendum, and proved beneficial to California's economy. In other words, the AB 32 model has been tested and is viable. According to California EPA Secretary Matt Rodriquez, alternative energy is now the fastest growing sector of the California economy. At this point HB 3470 still has ‘legs’ in Salem. It moved out of the Energy & Environment Committee and has been referred to Rules. Rep. Val Hoyle, chair of Rules, favors 3470 and plans to send it on to Ways and Means. A cap and trade program could create jobs. The implementation of AB 32 in California has demonstrated that, once markets for renewable energy are guaranteed, venture capital flows in rapidly and creates new jobs based on alternative energy technologies. HB 3470 includes provisions that would allocate a portion of revenues generated from the sale of permits to mitigate the effects of the cap and trade program on disadvantaged communities.

This month the 2015 California DISCLOSE Act, AB 700, faces its first key test in a vote of the Assembly Elections Committee. AB 700 is crucial to letting voters defend ourselves against the deluge of ballot measure ads from billionaires and other special interests that attempt to buy elections by deceiving voters. AB 700, authored by Assemblymembers Jimmy Gomez and Marc Levine and sponsored by the California Clean Money Campaign, will make ads for ballot measures clearly and prominently display their top three REAL funders. No hiding behind front groups with confusing names displayed in fine print. Assemblymember Travis Allen is on the Elections committee. Please sign our petition now asking him to vote for AB 700 to stand with the voters and against Dark Money!

I am a victim and a former student of Everest University. The college misled and deceived numerous students, some of whom were low-income, veterans or single parents. The colleges also increased their tuition three times a year. Students were misled that they would be able to obtain employment in their fields, but they were deceived. There were loans taken out in their names, which none of them authorized.

We the people are no longer represented by the people in Congress elected to represent us. 95 percent of the population demand that big money be removed from our political process. We want democracy and true representative government restored! We will add an amendment to the Constitution limiting the amount of money being dumped into our political process by large, wealthy special interest groups and Congress will represent the people once more!
