Arsenic. Cadmium. Mercury. Bisphenol A. Formaldehyde. These are just some of the potentially toxic chemicals in products intended for use by children. Chemical and toy companies don’t want you to know about it. Sign the petition to support SB 1569, requiring manufacturers to disclose products that contain these chemicals. Right now in Oregon, manufacturers aren’t required to tell us about potentially toxic chemicals that are in products intended for children. There’s a heated battle in the legislature and chemical company lobbyists are working hard to convince legislators that it’s simply too big a burden to tell us what’s in these products. Sign the petition NOW to demand that the legislature pass SB 1569 to help protect our kids from harmful chemicals. Oregonians deserve to have ALL of the information when it comes to chemicals in products, especially those used by children. Claims by chemical and toy manufacturers that it’s just too big a burden are ridiculous. Washington State already has a very similar law. Our kids deserve the same protections. Tell the Oregon Legislature to pass SB 1569.Sign the petition and let’s not allow big, out-of-state lobbyists to win the day.

In 50 years the student leaders and participating students that led the way in the Civil Rights Movement of 1963-65 have gone unrecognized. This commemorative event will be the first acknowledgment of the pivotal role played by these 1,000 students in bringing the full reality of freedom to all Americans.

Yes I have been personally affected by this issue. He lives close to me and also tells offensive jokes. Maritime monuments are not for joking, they are for respecting and/or riding.

In Uganda, Africa, the new anti gay law not only penalizes homosexual activities also criminalizes being homosexual. Young men are forced out of their homes and beaten. There are reports of some being stoned to death or burned alive by mobs. Medical services are denied to those having HIV or any other medical condition if they are supposed to be gay, even doctors are forced to report gays to authorities and then are sent to jail. Neighbors are encouraged to denounce gays in their neighborhood as if they were criminals, and report to authorities to be put flogged and put in jail for years in inhumane conditions. The terror is widespread and incensed by a hate and homophobic rhetoric in the Government and by extremists and religious zealots. The horror living men and women in Uganda is similar to those lived by Jews in Nazi Germany. This is not a gay issue is a humanitarian issue! A human rights and right to live issue!

Many of our children can't come home and say,  "MOMMY, DADDY I HAD A GREAT DAY, OR "MOMMY , Daddy ,Grandma, MY TEACHER HIT ME!!".  Video cameras will be used as a documenting tool.  No, I Don't think all Special Education teachers are monsters. Some teachers are genuinely passionate about "Our" precious babies, Let's be mindful that some of these teachers lack sensitivity ( if any at all)  Those teachers we must get removed effective immediately.  I will not stop this crusade until Video Cameras are in place. I AM MY SON'S VOICE, AS A PHILANTHROPIST AND ADVOCATE, I SPEAK FOR YOUR CHILD AS WELL.  Please join Lala Dunson Ceo of The James and Mary Foundation, Inc. As WE EMBRACE THIS REVOLUTION...U.C.U.C.  Unique Cameras for Unique Children

Since the disastrous Citizens United ruling, billionaires and other special interests are funneling record amounts of money through secretive non-profits, trying to buy our elections. Federal prosecutors even say that a foreign tycoon exploited loopholes to try to rig the outcome. This kind of dangerous secrecy must stop. S.B. 27 will make sure billionaires, foreign tycoons, and other special interests can't hide behind dark money non-profits. It requires any group spending $50,000 in California elections to reveal exactly who gave the money. It's a key step before passage of the California DISCLOSE Act (S.B. 52). Last month, Assemblymember Patterson voted against an amendment to make S.B. 27 take effect in the November election. The final Assembly vote on S.B. 27 could come any day, and Assemblymember Patterson needs to hear that constituents don't want him to oppose transparency and disclosure!

In early February, the Senate narrowly failed to pass a three-month extension of assistance to the long-term unemployed, due to disagreements over how to pay for it. While many Democrats object in principle to offsetting an extension of unemployment assistance, as a practical matter there is no plausible political path in the near future to extending assistance to the long-term unemployed that does not include an offset. Fortunately, the roughly $6 billion cost can be covered by cutting $5.7 billion from the war budget that never belonged there in the first place - it was money put there by Congress that the President never requested. Congress put that money there to pay for Pentagon contractor pork that wouldn't fit in the base Pentagon budget. If that money isn't redirected to some useful purpose, it's going to be wasted on Pentagon contractor pork. Sign our petition to Congress and the President: the $5.7 billion that is about to be wasted on Pentagon contractor pork should be used to help 1.7 million unemployed Americans and their families instead.
