The people of Swan Beach and Carova Beach do not want commercial development in our home neighborhoods. Spanish mustangs that roam this area are already endangered after living here for over 500 years. Commercial development will make their survival and our very way of life here impossible; it needs to be stopped.

Everywhere fracking is happening, from Texas to Colorado to Pennsylvania, the health of people is suffering -- from children with unexplained nosebleeds, to babies born with birth defects, to workers sickened by exposure to toxic, tiny silica particles. In Maryland, we don’t have fracking -- for now. And we need to speak out now to keep it that way. A three-year fracking review process that Governor Martin O’Malley put in place in 2011 is set to conclude in the next few months, potentially leaving Marylanders with no protections against drilling. In mid-August, as part of this process, the O’Malley administration released a study on the potential health impacts of fracking in Maryland, triggering a public comment period through October 3rd. Among many significant dangers, the report warns that fracking is highly likely to harm Marylanders’ air quality -- exposing people to toxins linked to cancer, birth defects, and respiratory illnesses. Rushed and underfunded, the study also leaves many critical questions about the risks to our health unanswered. Join us in calling on Governor O'Malley to protect our health by keeping Maryland's fracking moratorium in place. Let’s make sure this message is heard loud and clear: If fracking were to start in Maryland now, we’d be the next guinea pigs for testing the industry’s impacts on people, and that’s wholly unacceptable. Sign the petition by the October 3rd deadline!

My grandson came by my house one day telling me he had been hitch hiking and panhandling. He is 8 years old and his mother leaves him unsupervised all the time.

Because the wage is too low, and she believes that it is okay. I have lived off of this and cannot get by. People are homeless because of the wage, and it needs to increase. Only she believes it is too high. We cannot have someone in power like this!!!!!!!!

My youngest nephew, Justin Patrick Reidy, was struck and killed by a drunk driver while walking near the Northeast Philadelphia Airport on the morning of August 1, 2014. Justin was an incredibly talented visual artist who was still navigating his way in life, instead of celebrating the 23 anniversary of his birth on October 1st, 2014, we will be marking the 2 month anniversity of his death.

All children need a place to grow and develop. Villa Rica is experiencing a population boom. As the city's population grows so does the need to provide services to ensure our children have a safe environment to develop into outstanding men and women. A Boys and Girls Club will provide such an environment!

The Koch brothers have come to Oregon. Monica Wehby is running unseat progressive champion Senator Jeffrey Merkley from the U.S. Senate. The Koch brothers, and their billionaire friends, are throwing millions of dollars into her campaign to help make it happen! The Koch brothers think that they can buy the Senate. They believe that if they can spend enough money they can convince voters to see past Wehby's conservative agenda. But, Oregonians can't be bought.

Right now, a corporation can dodge billions in taxes just by buying a company in another country, then claiming to be headquartered there. It's known as an "inversion" and it's just another way big companies can avoid paying their fair share. Today it's Burger King, but there are a lot more companies lining up behind them. Last month, public pressure stopped Walgreens from moving abroad. Over the last few weeks, we have put Burger King on notice about their move to Canada. Now it's time we close this loophole altogether. It's time to plug the loophole and stop companies from leaving and forcing the rest of us to pick up the tab. We can't let big corporations continue to dodge taxes with highly paid tax lawyers--everyone should play by the same rules. How can we invest in education or job growth if large, profitable companies are scheming to avoid paying their fair share? We have a real opportunity to close this loophole right now--but we've got to strike while the iron is hot. With all the scrutiny being paid to this issue while Burger King is in the process of declaring itself a Canadian company, we can push lawmakers to take up the issue. So far, Rep. Jeff Denham hasn't signed on in support of this commonsense idea--that's why we need people like you to take action.
