The Supreme Court has gutted more than one hundred years of campaign finance laws and given corporations and the rich even more power over our government -- with the outrageous rationale that limiting spending on elections limits speech. If our democratic system of representative government is to survive, these deeply damaging rulings must be overturned. SB 1272 will put a proposition on this November's ballot that will let California voters demand that Congress create a constitutional amendment to do so. Tell the California Senate to pass it now!

In almost every town in the state, people are interested in becoming members. Last week,we emailed and called various cities to help us become a party in each city and the responses we got back clearly stated that we can only stay in Bristol and not go to any other towns. The people party is for the people and by the people, why are all the town clerks not supporting the democratic system. The rules from the secretary of the state states that when a minor party is born, they are allowed to move forward according to their Bylaws and party rules. As we see four minor parties in the state of CT supported by republicans and democrats, mostly family members and close friends running these parties. People party has no influence other than that of the common people. We need your help in this regard. THE PEOPLE PARTY CASE WAS ALSO PROTECTED BY THE FRIST AMENDMENT TO PARTICIPATE IN DEMOCRATIC SYSTEM WAS DENIED. http://www.supremecourt.gov/Search.aspx?FileName=/docketfiles/11-768.htm Sincerely, Mehdi , Human Faith Secretary of the People Party www.humanfealty.com 860.582.2226 860.583.3338

HB 921 would drop all state textbook reviewing responsibilities. It would require that counties review and buy their own textbooks. Our public schools are already underfunded and overwhelmed. They do not have the time or the means to select their own textbooks. Not only that, but it would allow ideological ideas to seep into our public school system. Our children wouldn't be on the same page as those in other counties. This would create a great inconsistency across the whole state. HB 921 was approved by the Senate and now goes to the House. We need your voice to tell our local Representatives to vote NO on HB 921!

Massachusetts coastal beaches have been available for recreational metal detecting for as long as I can remember. Recently I was approached by a DCR Ranger and advised that metal detecting will no longer be allowed on State Beaches and come July 1, 2014 citizens will start being ticketed if found to be metal detecting on a Massachusetts State Beach. I do not see why this form of recreation should be taken away from the citizens that enjoy metal detecting. There are thousands of us that enjoy the hobby and follow strict guidelines and a code of conduct when it comes to metal detecting. We remove any trash that we find on the beaches and we conduct ourselves in a respectable manner. In fact there have been sponsored events conducted by metal detecting vendors on Massachusetts beaches that have been enjoyed by many children and adults of this state. I personally don't know of any incident involving a metal detectorist that would give cause to ban detecting from beaches. As a matter of fact, I only know of metal detectorists helping others by returning lost jewelry and other items that they have found while detecting. We urge you to continue to allow the popular recreational activity of metal detecting on Massachusetts State Beaches.

The beautiful and historic Chesapeake Bay is overrun with pollution -- 98% of its oysters are already gone! Local states & the EPA have agreed to a plan to clean up the Bay, but far-away states like Wyoming are objecting. 21 right-wing attorneys general are citing "state's rights," even though states like Maryland helped create this plan. Tell the EPA to ignore the unfounded attacks & keep working with local residents to save the Bay!

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, every year more than two million people are hospitalized and 23,000 die because they have been infected with antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Despite the serious consequences of the overuse of antibiotics, many large farms give antibiotics to their animals in daily doses when the animals are perfectly healthy. We need to preserve the effectiveness of antibiotics so they can continue saving lives for generations to come.

Every child in Pennsylvania should have access to CHIP, regardless of their immigration status. Please remove the barriers in the current Cover All Kids legislation so that thousands of Pennsylvania children can access comprehensive health coverage.

Tell Latta, South Carolina Mayor, Earl Bullard, to re-instate Police Chief Crystal Moore. Mayor Bullard didn't like it that the Latta Police Chief is gay. He issued 7 reprimands in one day (the first ever in her 20+ year career) and when she refused to sign them he fired her. The mayor said he'd rather have a drunk Chief than a gay Chief. The story is here: http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/04/18/sc-town-fights-firing-of-lesbian-police-chief-by-mayor-who-says-gays-are-worse-than-drunks/ South Carolina has no protections for people against sexual orientation. It's time they did. In the meantime I think we need to send Mayor Bullard a message.

A new study shows that when Fox News covers climate change, they get it wrong nearly 3 out of every 4 times -- the worst of any cable network by far! This matters -- Fox is the most-watched cable news channel in the country, so when its anchors and analysts dress up fossil fuel lies as climate science, they're deceiving millions of Americans. Fox is certainly entitled to its own opinion, but not its own facts -- it's up to us to expose Fox News' climate lies for what they really are.

Receiving one noise violation is $300. Now multiply that by the number of individuals living in a house with you, and the total cost of having loud music can increase over $1000. Burlington Police will fine everyone in a house for LOUD MUSIC. Everyone on a lease gets threatened by this and after the second violation this is a CRIMINAL OFFENSE. Please sign the petition if you are a Burlington resident.

Mayor Bullard ostensibly fired Chief Moore for a difference in opinion, but local news reports have indicated that Mayor Bullard would rather have "somebody who drank and drank too much taking care of my child than I had somebody whose lifestyle is questionable around children." On Tuesday, April 22, the City Council rebuked the mayor by passing an ordinance to keep him from hiring a new Chief, and then passed a resolution in support of Crystal Moore. Keep up the pressure!

Kimberly Caselman was shocked when she was forced to leave work—without pay. After all, she loved her job at Pier 1. She was doing her work well and counting on the income since there was a new baby on the way. But what she didn't realize is that Pier 1 has an illegal policy on its books--pregnant workers are given 8 weeks of light duty and then forced to take unpaid leave, whether they want to or not. It's not only blatantly discriminatory, but also against the law--California mandates that employers provide "reasonable accommodation" for pregnant workers if their doctor recommends it. For Caselman, that request couldn't be more "reasonable"--she simply asked not to climb ladders or lift more than 15 pounds at her doctor's request. But there is one silver lining to this story--until Caselman spoke up, few people outside the company knew about Pier 1's discriminatory policy. Pier 1 markets heavily to women and, as a home goods retailer, cares a lot about its family friendly image. If its executives feel backlash from thousands of people for their appalling policy, they will have to change it or face a public relations nightmare that will hurt its bottom line. Will you stand up for women like Kimberley facing discrimination?
