• "Senator Elizabeth Warren: No Warren No Vote"
    With enough pressure on Liz Warren to run for President as you at MoveOn.Org has started I strongly believe she will participate in the primary process. Although she has stated over and over that she will not run, this past weekend she has indicated that she will be watching what Hillary has to say. The democratic party cannot afford to have voters stay home in 2016 and if we show the force we are, then this coming elections will not be bought and sold by Corporate America as it is threatening to be. Therefore, I will make a solemn pledge to not vote in 2016 if Ms. Warren does not enter into the Primary process. I am seeking the help of anyone who has expertise in setting up a website or blog to open up discussions on the topic.

  • Invest NOW in Iowa's Future: Our Students
    Iowa children are the future of our workforce, and will be the drivers of Iowa’s economy for years to come. A commitment to education should be an easy way to attract and retain families in our great state. Iowa ranks 35th in the nation in per pupil funding and is already more than $1,600 below the national average in annual per-pupil investment. I don't want to see cuts to world languages, social studies, the arts, or after-school activities because of underfunding our schools. Instead, I want to see our students able to compete for 21st century jobs.

  • Ald. Moreno: Defer Plan Commission Hearing on Proposed Two Towers at 2293 N. Milwaukee
    The proposed 12- and 11-story towers at 2293 N. Milwaukee would set a dangerous precedent for out-of-scale development that would lead to more tear-downs, displacement and higher storefront rents in Logan Square. The proposal does not provide sufficient community benefits, such as setting aside units that are truly affordable to local families, and in essence creates a "gated" community. We strongly urge you to postpone the April 16 Chicago Plan Commission hearing until the community has had the opportunity to give real input on the proposal.

  • Scott Walker and Chris Christie Are Joining Forces to Attack 5 Million Immigrants
    Two Republican Presidential hopefuls, Gov. Scott Walker and Gov. Chris Christie, have joined forces to attack an estimated 5 million immigrants with deep roots in their communities. Last November, after months of pressure from millions of immigration reform activists, President Obama announced two new immigration policies to protect millions of people who grew up in America without papers and parents of U.S. citizens who don’t have an immigration status from deportation. This was one of the biggest wins for the immigrant community in nearly a generation, but Gov. Walker and Gov. Christie have joined a host of Republican governors and state attorneys general on a bogus and mean-spirited lawsuit designed to delay the implementation of these new programs. I’m so sick of Republicans playing politics with the lives of so many people. Please join me in demanding that Gov. Walker and Gov. Christie withdraw their support for the bogus lawsuit attacking immigrant youth and undocumented parents of US citizens.

  • Tell the Board of Elections: Stop Corruption in Albany!
    Amid an ongoing series of scandals in Albany, there is one easy step the New York Board of Elections can take right now to crack down on the culture of corruption. They can vote to close to the so-called "LLC loophole," which allows Wall Street bankers and real estate developers to evade contribution limits and funnel millions of dollars to the candidates of their choice.

  • Gov. Scott Walker: Answer for Climate Censorship in Wisconsin
    First there was climate censorship in Florida — and now Wisconsin. A Wisconsin state agency has barred staff from working on climate change, posing real threats to the state’s public lands and showing a deeply troubling trend among conservative state governments to establish climate denial as de facto policy. Sign on to demand that Governor Scott Walker oppose climate censorship — and we’ll hand-deliver the petition to his office next week.

  • Pennsylvania Education for the 21st Century
    Pennsylvania's public education system has been declining for most of the past 30 years due to many of the problems afflicting public education throughout the United States. Too many students' academic performance declines until they either fail to graduate high school, or graduate unprepared for further education or a career. Pennsylvania's funding formula for public education during this same 30 years has reduced the state share and increased the local share to the point where the inequities between districts with high tax bases and those with low tax bases are egregious, and render it nearly impossible for low-income school districts to close the achievement gap with better-off districts. While Governor Wolf has made education funding a priority, it is important to spell out some specifics without which merely increasing overall funding may not be sufficient to address the breadth of the problems we face.
