• What truly happend to Charles Peterson
    I want answers for my family and his children. I am his sister. We Live with this nightmare daily and the way we were treated. I have been trying to get someone to listen but its like we don't exist. We want answers. He deserves better than saying he hung himself and they can't even tell us what he did it with. They said bed sheet or mattress cover, but don't know what it was. Please, anyone, come forthand let us know. How would you like to sleep at night if that was your child,brother, or sister?

  • Raise the minimim wage
    No person who works full-time should be in poverty. If a company cannot afford to pay a living wage to its workers, there is something wrong with its business plan.

  • Rep. Joe Pitts: Stop Blocking Minimum Wage Increase for Workers
    Members of my family are working hard every week while struggling to get by on poverty wages. Increasing the Minimum Wage would help thousands of PA workers pay their bills and feed their families - and it has been shown time and again that it would spur our economy - for everyone! Rep. Pitts should do the right thing for PA workers instead of siding with big corporations.

  • Smuckers Non-Appreciation Day
    I'm mad as hell over the hundreds of millions of dollars corporations are spending to skew our elections. Help us set an example of public outrage over corporate influence in citizen elections. Tell Smuckers to stop interfering in our elections. Plus please start boycotting Smuckers as well.

  • Rep. Upton will you support Business and the Minimum Wage of $10.10?
    As a clergyman I support an increase in the minimum wage to at least $10.10 an hour. Members of my own family are among thousands of workers who are working hard every week while struggling to get by on poverty wages. But this is also a benefit for business. The argument that a higher minimum wage would hurt business is old and tired. There is clear and compelling evidence that the economy and companies enjoy real benefits when workers are paid more.

  • President Obama: This time support a UN 5th World Conference on Women (5WCW)!
    4WCW was in Beijing, 1995. 5WCW would be a 21st Century conference with the internet, smart phones, satellite technology, simultaneous conferences; fostering feminist networks, ongoing women's circles including virtual ones. This would energize a global women's movement, which creates political will, without which women and women's issues are sidelined. Since 2009, I have been working toward this at the UN. Active support from the White House looks to be all that is needed for passage of a consensus resolution in the General Assembly, preparation takes 2 -3 years, with 2017 the likely date.

  • Rep. Grimm: America Needs a Raise!
    Raising the federal minimum wage to $10.10 per hour would boost the paychecks of over 30 million workers in the U.S. The majority are adults with full-time jobs, and nearly half have some college education. If the minimum wage had kept pace with inflation since 1968, it would be $10.60 today. Tell Rep. Michael Grimm you support this fix.

  • Rep. Davis: Stop blocking raising the minimum wage
    In the last 10 years our communities in Madison County have lost the good paying manufacturing jobs, forcing productive skilled labor into low paying service jobs. By raising the minimum wage more workers can afford to buy a home, a car or shop in our neighborhood stores.

  • Raise the Federal Minimum Wage to $10.10
    Family members and friends work hard each and every week, yet they are considered 'working poor.' The American dream tells us that if we work hard enough every citizen can have enough to take care of their family. Increasing the minimum wage will help workers earn enough to sufficiently support their families and their futures. Representative Denham should do the right thing and support the working people of his constituency instead of siding with corporations and big business.
