Yes my pension could be cut by more than 75% a month. This could hurt more than 10 million retired union workers,and untold current workers.

The Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority's (AIDEA) 220-mile road proposal is poorly planned and studied and does not adequately account for long term damage to local wildlife, waterways, and ways of life. AIDEA's consistent disrespect of major local opposition while spending state funds to subsidize corporate liabilities and privatize foreign profit is not consistent with Walker administration values. This project should be stopped before wasting any additional resources.

Bloomington City Attorney Sandra Johnson wants to hold protesters responsible for loss of profits and cost of police presence due to the #BlackLivesMatter protest at the Mall of America on Dec. 20. By drafting criminal charges against these protesters, the City of Bloomington is trying to suppress protest and chill free speech. Send the city a message: if it does not believe Black Lives Matter more than one day of doing business, we will not do business in Bloomington, or the Mall of America.

In 2008 the Utah Legislature established a vision to promote clean energy jobs, improve air quality and protect Utahns from dangerous climate change with a Clean Energy Goal of 20% of electricity to come from renewable sources by 2025. Senate Bill 202 passed both houses without a single no vote. Rocky Mountain Power/ PacifiCorp (RMP) will shortly propose a long-term plan for electricity supply during the period from 2015 through 2025 that will likely include no significant utility investment in geothermal, hydropower, solar or wind power generation facilities in Utah. Despite strong support from Utahns and record low prices for installed solar and wind power, RMP plans to sell electricity in Utah of which less than 3% derives from non-polluting, renewable sources. Utah has tremendous solar and wind potential that RMP is mostly ignoring. Utah is one of the sunniest states in our nation yet ranks 26th in adoption of solar power (0.2% of total generation). Utah has abundant land and rooftops where solar photo-voltaic power can be produced. A commitment to embrace these resources would have a profound positive gain for Utah's economy, by creating new jobs and diverse industries that will be here for the long haul. We therefore urge the Utah Legislature to upgrade the 2008 bill that was aspirational but has still not produced a change in how power is generated. We would like to see a Clean Energy Standard that requires a minimum of 20% of Utah’s electric power coming from in-state renewables by 2025.

Due to financial hardships, the Board of Directors of the New Netherlands Museum has decided to move the Half Moon replica ship to the Dutch city of Hoorn in 2015. Many in New York want to find a way to keep this vital piece of New York's early history on the Hudson River and in the Capital Region.

A week before two NYPD officers were executed, Philly Medic Marcell Salters made national news for posting an Instagram picture of two black men pointing guns at a white police officer with the caption "Our real enemy." He followed with another comment: "need 2 stop pointing guns at each other & at the ones that's legally killing innocents." Additionally he took to facebook posting the following comments: "Because of what i do i have to work with them but dont have to like them," he said. ". . . There are numerous crooked & corrupted cops (mostly white) & mostly they harass, beat, or kill innocents(mostly blks)." Philly doesn't need or want racist Medics and we want him fired!

There has been a execution style murder of two NYPD Officers in Brooklyn, N.Y. At this time HHC Police Officers have no means to properly protect themselves and people in HHC facilities. Police Officers should have the right to carry firearms regardless of their race. At this time the Health & Hospitals Corporation, by denying their Police Officers the right to carry firearms is in violation of title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

We need to restore, respect, integrity, honestly, loyalty, and set an example by having leaders that lead, have vision and set examples by following the laws they create. No one is above the law.

The calls for Mayor de Blasio's resignation are dangerously misguided. His resignation would send us headlong down the wrong path. de Balsio is right to embrace the public's call for reform. Demonizing the public's call for reform will only lead to an entrenchment of the problems causing unrest and an escalation of hostility between police and civilians,

The Valley Hospital’s policy to allow religious imagery for Hanukkah but to forbid the religious imagery for Christmas is inconsistent and insensitive. Both Hanukkah and Christmas are distinctly religious holidays replete with their own rich history of religious imagery. To reduce Hanukkah and Christmas to mere secular symbolic reminders is disrespectful to those who celebrate each. Hanukkah is a Jewish celebration of the preservation of Judaism during a time of forced religious assimilation. It is a celebration of the miracle of light in the midst of darkness. Christmas is the distinctly Christian celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. It is the celebration of God born as a child in the city of Bethlehem as written in Holy Scripture. The Valley Hospital has determined that Christmas is accurately represented with a decorated tree, wreathes and poinsettias. These secular symbols do not remind us of the birth of a person, Jesus Christ. Depictions of this holy event, such as nativity scenes and other Christian imagery, are not authorized by the Valley Hospital. On the other hand, Hanukkah is accurately represented at the Valley Hospital with a purely religious motif, the Hanukiah or Hanukkah Menorah. Why is it that Christians cannot also observe their holiday according to Holy Scripture while at the Valley Hospital? It is our wish that the Valley Hospital give equal representation to all of the faiths in our community. While we welcome Jewish religious symbolism at the hospital, the clear omission of Christian imagery is insensitive. The decorations for Christmas and Hanukkah in public spaces at the Valley Hospital should be faithful to the religions they represent. To emphasize one faith tradition by accurately representing it, while minimizing another by turning it into a secular cultural holiday is an injustice to all people of faith. We ask that the Valley Hospital, its administration, its trustees and staff permit the display of Christian religious imagery depicting the Nativity of Christ, which Christians celebrate on Christmas. Please sign this petition to end unequal religious expression at the Valley Hospital in Ridgewood, New Jersey.
