• Fully Fund K-12 Education in AZ
    After careful review, the Chandler Unified School District governing board, and the parents of K-12 students resolved that the proposed gubernatorial budget, if enacted, continues to degrade the ability of Arizona school districts to provide an excellent education for all students. The proposed state budget will cut $6 million from Chandler Unified School district funding. This is in addition to the already enacted district cuts of over $36 million the past five years. At the same time, proposals to arbitrarily cut essential "outside the classroom" funding jeopardizes support functions required to maintain a safe, healthy and effective school environment. The Chandler Unified School District governing board also resolves that proposed measures, such as HB2303, constitute micro management by state government that removes local community control of school operations contrary to the wishes of local citizens. For example, over 94 percent of the 50,000+ parents in the district support the current school start schedule, which would be radically changed by HB2303 with no justification, producing significant disruption to parents and staff members. The Chandler Unified School District governing board, and the parents of K-12 students oppose the proposed budget legislation. We urge the Governor and the Arizona legislature to reconsider these proposals, which we strongly believe will be harmful to our education system, students, parents and district staff. We request that our schools be properly funded and we reject any measures that reduce local community control of our schools.

  • Needless and Careless Electrical Consumption
    Every Rhode Island electrical consumer is affected by this. It's just needless waste that could very easilly be controlled and stopped. A substantial fine would make these corporations and businesses pay attention with everyone benefiting from it. A summons can be written by the local police authority similiar as a parking ticket

  • Save Westbeth Artist Housing in NYC!
    The artists of Westbeth are being harassed and forced out of their studios, many losing their livelihoods . No new artist applications are being accepted. Their art is being thrown into dumpsters. The low income tenants on Section 8 have had their rents tripled and the US government is paying the difference, although Westbeth legally is supposed to be low, affordable rents for artists. The hurricane Sandy is being used as an excuse to end Westbeth as affordable housing for artists, and a center for the arts. Artists live in fear for their homes and their art.

  • Demand that prostitution be outlawed in Israel today
    Prostitution is a form of modern-day slavery. Every day over 15,000 women, men and children in Israel are exploited for sexual services against their will. They are victims of trafficking, fraud, debt manipulation, drug addiction, extreme emotion and physical violence, sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancies. The average prostitute receives between 15 to 20 clients per day, creating approximately 1,000,000 sex transactions per month in Israel. No healthy, sane human being decides to work in prostitution out of free choice.

  • End discriminatory Child Custody laws in Pennsylvania
    Equal Child Custody and Parenting time in Pennsylvania is currently considered "Normal" at just 30% for father's. Children need both parents in their lives and the U.S. Supreme Court agree's. Children and parents should not be used to generate cash for any county or state, nor used as leverage to harm another financially or emotionally. This disparity in child custody nearly cost me my life and has adversely affected my young children and thousands of other children and father's in Pennsylvania, including taxpayer's.

  • robert reich for president 2016
    Obama has done a lot of good. Democrats need more time to fix what ails america. The republican solution to a recession is war and get rid of minimum wage. The republican southern states are a good example of destroyed economies. I hope kansas and wisconsin survive the gop voodoo economics. I think Reich is smart enough to beat the koch-gop tea party, who are he'll bent on creating a pretend christian oligarchy. I am old enough to have known more than a few john birch draft dodgers. The tea party is more of the same. Selfish, white supremist, warmongers, all the things that make u.s.a. look bad to the rest of the world. It embarrasses me that people vote for them. Reich would make a good sane, with no baggage like hillary, presidential candidate.
