As U.S. officials like Secretary of State John Kerry have stated, Israeli settlements in the West Bank are one of the greatest obstacles to achieving a diplomatic agreement to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The U.S. Internal Revenue Service [IRS] and the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control [OFAC] have been permissive of private U.S. financial support for Israeli settlements that the U.S. government officially opposes; ironically, even more permissive than Israeli law. [1] The fact that financial supporters of the settlements have abused U.S. tax law has been documented by the New York Times. [2] It’s time for U.S. policy to change. The IRS and OFAC have the legal authority to act. Urge the Administration to investigate abuse of U.S. tax law by financial supporters of West Bank settlements by signing our petition.

We feel our friend and family member, Shana, R.N., from Ohio, is being targeted for filing a lawsuit against Cleveland State University in 2013. We have information that leads us to believe that a state employee or employees (protected by the State) are behind a complaint made to the State of Ohio Board of Nursing (members assigned by the State Governor); which could have severe consequences on Shana's nursing career and license, earned at another University. We feel this recent action has only occurred because of the filing of the 2013 lawsuit. Our tax dollars, paid to support State Agencies (ex. Ohio Board of Nursing), should not be used to settle what appears to be a personal vendetta between State employees and a former CSU student. Information about the lawsuit can be found at the 'Court of Claims of Ohio' Website: Case # 2012-03425 and Case # 2013-00025

Right now Oregon is 47th in the country for what we invest in higher education. There are only three states doing less to support students in America than we are! We have the opportunity to do something really big to support higher education by voting YES on Measure 86, which would allow the state of Oregon to create a fund called the Student Opportunity Fund -- a constitutionally-protected source of student aid for higher education and job training. I believe our students -- who make up the future workforce -- are every bit as important to our state’s economic vitality as infrastructure. Measure 86 would allow the legislature to use the same funding mechanism we use to pay for new bridges and highways to pay for our students to get a college education. Oregon’s graduates right now each have an average of $29,000 in debt. That’s not the Oregon I want to leave to our kids. Support our students and vote YES on Measure 86 on Election Day! There are some really good ideas out there to support students trying to get an education. We already have the Oregon Opportunity Grant which provides direct support to students in need. Also on the horizon, I am very excited about the innovative Pay it Forward proposal that my friends from Oregon Working Families have been leading the way on. Ted Wheeler Oregon State Treasurer

Sussex County, Delaware has been experiencing rapid, uncontrolled land development which is jeopardizing the safety and lifestyle of area residents and negatively impacting the beauty, environment, coastal waterways and endangered species in Sussex County.

Reduce carbon footprint and wasted natural resources. Lower the entry barrier to candidates and committees who don't have a lot of money. The most basic color glossy mailers cost 50 cents each to mail. For Oakland with 60,000 highly likely voter unique households, that's a minimum of $30,000 to communicate with voters. You need three or more because most mailing pieces get thrown out. $90K is a lot of favors you'll owe to well to do supporters or you have to be rich to run.

My father, Ali Mahmood Awad Irsan, my mother Shmou Ali Alrawabdeh and my sister Nadia Irsan, have been in jail since May 2014 for a crime they never committed.

The unlimited hidden money unleashed by Citizens United is taking over our democracy. It’s one of the most important issues of our times, because every governmental decision is distorted by money from wealthy interests. Candidates and elected officials need to know that voters are watching what they do about it. That’s why the California Clean Money Action Fund has a candidate questionnaire for candidates to answer whether they would support legislation for true disclosure on political ads and for public financing of election campaigns. Please sign the petition to tell all California candidates for Assembly, Senate, and statewide office that you care about the California DISCLOSE Act and the questions on the California Clean Money Action Fund survey -- and that you’ll be looking for their answers when you vote. We’ll send you their answers on the candidate questionnaire!

I have a smart student who is now frustrated and not doing well with the common core method. Why fix something that wasn't broken in OPUSD schools? Go back to the old way of teaching.
