Yes, our children are getting a horrible education and teachers must work two jobs just to make ends meet. NC is now the worst state in the country for teachers!

Great News! Another BIG WIN for campaign funding transparency this year! More than 11,000 people signed petitions, thousands left comments on Governor Jerry Brown's website, and hundreds called on this issue. This influenced the Governor to sign SB 844. Authored by Senator Fran Pavley, SB 844 will make it easy to see online who's spending money for and against California propositions. It requires the Secretary of State to create an online page listing the total amount raised and the top ten funders supporting and opposing the propositions. Perhaps most importantly, the official ballot pamphlet will include a link to the webpage, so it is easy to find. Please sign the petition thanking Governor Brown and urging him to join the California Clean Money Campaign to pass the California DISCLOSE Act in 2015.

Wisconsin's minimum wage law (Chapter 104) states that the minimum wage must provide a decent standard of living. Wisconsin's $7.25 hourly minimum wage is simply not a living wage. On September 24th, as part of the Raise Wisconsin campaign, 100 low-wage workers filed minimum wage complaints with Governor Scott Walker and the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development, demonstrating the daily struggles that Wisconsin's minimum wage workers face. Less than two weeks later, the Walker Administration stated that they found "no reasonable cause" to raise the minimum wage. Well, we find no reasonable cause for Walker's reelection. If Walker won't give Wisconsin a raise, it's time to elect a Governor who will.

Four and a half years ago, I started a kind and gentle peer support group for those of us who had fallen in love with or been victimized by Malignant Narcissists AKA Sociopaths. About 3 years ago, a handful of cyberpath women themselves started stalking me and my peaceful group alleging I , Luis Garcia, am a pedophile, wife beater, sociopath , con artist and wolf in sheep's clothing preying on vulnerable women. ALL THESE ALLEGATIONS ARE COMPLETE LIES... Since then, they have falsely alleged that I have a criminal record, posted pictures of me with my little boys alleging that they were random boys I molested, joined my group under false identities for the sole purpose of scaring group members and creating drama and chaos. At one point, I trusted two of them who befriended me and conducted a hostile takeover of my original group by force and threw myself, my ex-wife who cofounded the group and two other admins out of the group. They continue to stalk me, lie to new group members and ignore the reality that my group has helped over 1700 people worldwide survive and heal from sociopaths OR domestic violence..Even today, they cowardly hide in our group and spy on everything I do..They are nothing more than the Evil Abusers they claim to be exposing...I constantly post the online petition that they have created against me to make my new members aware of the horrific allegations because I have honor and integrity.....They have destroyed my marriage, pushed me to the brink of suicide and taken away any joy I feel going on the internet...I forgive them because most of the people siging the petition are nothing more than blind sheep following a lynch mob with torches held high trying to destroy an innocent man whom they label a monster...I am an open book and have nothing to hide (unlike the cowards who post) MY FB PAGE IS 100% PUBLIC , FIND IT HERE: https://www.facebook.com/helpall.hurtnone .... I can be reached anytime at 561-503-0108 or email ilresqunow@gmail. My home address is 1007 10th Avenue , Lake Worth, FL 33460.....I am an innocent man who has been crucified by very evil people who hide behind a keyboard...

Joni Ernst and candidates that share her views on opposing a minimum wage and who are against increasing the minimum wage need to understand that American workers need a living wage. It's been years since there has been an increase and it is long overdue.

I am starting this petition because I want Truth in Political ads.

Thom Tillis certainly does not have a corner on avoiding issues and replacing them with emptional hot buttons but if he truly wants to be our next US Senator then let's have him tell us what he intends to do if and when he gets to Washington.

We are asking everyone to please sign this petition requesting that the court transcript of a sidebar conversation from the IRP 6 federal court case be released (court proceeding on October 11, 2011). The IRP6 are six businessmen who have been wrongfully incarcerated for over two years. The court transcript of the sidebar conversation shows Federal Judge Christine Arguello demanded one of the defendants (aka the IRP6) take the witness stand or she would close their case. This is a violation of their 5th Amendment right. When the men requested the transcript, Judge Arguello refused to deliver it and to this day still has not provided it. We need to get the IRP6 men released from prison and back home to their families! These men were Wrongfully Convicted on trumped up charges and the court transcript of the sidebar conversation will prove that their fundamental rights were violated. DOJ and Congress should investigate this gross violation. We appreciate your support!

Starbucks buys nearly 100 million gallons of milk each year -- most of it from cows raised in cruel conditions in factory-farms. These cows are fed chemically-treated alfalfa and GMO crops like soy and corn, which have been engineered to withstand huge doses of herbicides. And, most corn and soy seeds are pre-treated with bee-killing pesticides. But there is a better alternative. Demand that Starbucks serve organic milk!

There is No United States Constitution & We Have No Guaranteed Rights, No Safety, No Legal Honest Government Services, Just Organized Crime & Criminal Felony RICO.

Millions of Illinoisans spend their summers basking on Lake Michigan's shore and rely on it for drinking water. Yet the Lake continues to be treated like a personal sewer for the region’s largest polluters.
