A decade ago, New York led the nation by allowing undocumented students to pay instate tuition rates at its public universities. Now, we have the opportunity to make greater progress on this issue by giving these students access to state financial aid. This will allow more students to attend college, graduate, and reach their full potential. Earlier this week, Governor Cuomo stated he would sign the NY Dream Act if it reached his desk. Today, the NY State Assembly passed the bill. Now, we have to pressure the NY State Senate to do the same. Tell the NY State Senate: Pass the NY Dream Act now!

A merger of the two largest cable companies in the United States would be a bad deal for consumers, leading to less competition and likely higher prices for subscribers. And a combined Comcast-Time Warner would be in a position to slow or even block Internet traffic from content providers like Netflix or Hulu if the cable company decided they didn't want the competition, threatening net neutrality. Subscribers are frustrated with the service and price of cable service, and almost no one thinks letting the two companies with the worst consumer satisfaction ratings in the industry would somehow magically make those problems go away. One of the biggest threats posed by this proposed merger is to a free and open Internet. Already cable companies are facing loss of subscribers from unhappy customers who want to "cut the cord" and switch to online services like Netflix and Hulu. Recent court cases have struck serious blows to the principal of net neutrality , which means a merged Comcast/Time Warner would have wide latitude to start restricting bandwidth or demanding payment from online services they deem to be competition. And with Comcast already owning Universal Pictures and all of NBC, the economic incentive to discriminate against competing content providers would be very strong. Finally, a combined Comcast/Time Warner would be, quite simply, just too big, with too much power over subscribers, content providers and, quite frankly, too much influence in Washington. Comcast and Time Warner may be hoping that armies of highly paid lobbyists and attorneys can push this deal through, so we have to make sure that the voices of millions of unhappy cable subscribers who know this will be a bad deal for them are heard.

To me this is simply common sense. How can anyone find fault with a bill that would restrict a person CONVICTED of the crimes outlined in the bill from possessing, transporting, or carrying a firearm for 5 years. Unless of course that legislator (those legislators) are owned by the NRA.

Nuclear power is inherently risky, as evidenced by the 2011 triple meltdowns in Japan. The waste storage dilemma has not been solved. New small modular designs tout themselves as "self-contained" but will produce nuclear waste that needs storage for thousands of years, making them anything but self-contained. The exorbitant cost of nuclear was painfully shown in the WPPSS bond defaults, which we are still paying for.

It seems pretty simple to me: We need to do better. We know we can do better, and now that we know better, together let's see how far goodness can take us! (very much paraphrased quote of Maya Angelou) "You create your own universe as you go along" Winston Churchill "All that we are is a result of what we have thought" - Buddha "What this power is, I cannot say. All I know is that it exists." Alexander Graham Bell "Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions." Albert Einstein "Whatever the mind of man can conceive, it can achieve" W. Clement Stone 1 Corinthians 13:1-2 If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.

The children in the ITALC class (room 108 and 109) are being forcefully removed from Francis Scott Key. The students in both classrooms are the most severely disabled in the entire school district. The ITALC program is the only program in the city that supports the needs of our children. It gives them the opportunity to communicate through electronic devices, because they are unable to communicate in any other form. The children will no longer have a class that meets their needs. The ITALC is the only form of education that our children can receive. The school district is treating these children as second class citizens by trying to take the rights to go to school and receive the special education that they deserve and need. Please sign and support this petition and forward to your friends, families and coworkers. Thank You, From the parents in rooms 108 and 109!

Three Mayoral Candidates met the qualifications for public financing in the first Santa Fe Mayoral Campaign to be publicly financed, Patti Bushee, Bill Dimas and Javier Gonzales. With 9 days remaining in the race, two PACS and two labor Unions are spending unlimited dollars for Gonzales and against his opponents. At last reporting period, the unregulated Gonzales PACs and Unions were matching his allowed spending dollar for dollar.
