We should be given the right to choose how to watch "Walking With Dinosaurs 3-D" without having to subject ourselves with childish humor

The Southside of Chicago has no or inadequate Trauma units within community hospitals. The South side needs a complete medical district..

In many states the unemployed fall into the so called "gap" of not making enough income to qualify for a subsidy under the Affordable Care Act, yet not qualifying for Medicaid. There should not be a bottom income threshold when Medicaid expansion was left up to individual states. We are one country and we should all have the same opportunities to afford medical care no matter what state we live in.

Tougher laws are needed!

Roseanne's show may have been groundbreaking, but today, Roseanne is transphobic and seemingly woman- (and feminist-)hating. She shouldn't be spewing advice in the pages of a self-proclaimed feminist magazine (or anywhere, really, but we'll settle for not in Bust). As an xoJane commenter wrote, "[Roseanne] is a prime example of how you can ~*be a woman*~ and ~*do some ground-breaking sh_t*~ and ~*carve out a big place for yourself in women's history*~ AND THEN F_CKING RUIN IT by BEING AN A__HOLE and apparently also not having any reading comprehension skills." (http://www.xojane.com/issues/lindy-west-roseanne-twitter-rape-jokes#comment-920034251) In the words of black feminist blogger Trudy Hamilton, "Roseanne's White & class privileged, ignore class intersections in the 99%, transphobic, cis gender 'feminism' = BOO." (https://twitter.com/thetrudz/status/261860715059609600) Need some examples? On 12/23/13, Roseanne tweeted (and then deleted) "susan rice is a man w big swinging ape balls" (https://twitter.com/TheRealRoseanne/status/415172464386138114) June 2013: Attacking feminist blogger/comedian Lindy West & mischaracterizing her comments as advocating censorship: http://jezebel.com/why-is-roseanne-calling-jezebel-a-misogynistic-woman-h-511345557 October 2012: Discriminating against pre-op trans women: http://ohnotheydidnt.livejournal.com/73083271.html No, Bust, we CAN'T "all just get along."

I have created a petition to demand the removal of fluoride from our water supply. I am personally affected by this issue because I, like everyone else in the world, require water to survive and should not be consuming or bathing in water containing fluoride as it is a highly toxic chemical. By adding this neurotoxin to the water supply, it devastates the health of all living things as well as our environment.

In the fight for a commonsense immigration process, we’re up against a patchwork of broken policies and Congress that’s stalling. In the meantime, this holiday season and every day, families need relief. No matter their status, families should be together during the holidays. Every day, about 1,000 families are separated by deportations, often under questionable law enforcement practices. Dads who have a broken taillight are getting pulled over and deported, forced to abandon their children. Mothers walking on the streets in their states are racially profiled and sent to countries they haven’t lived in for decades, worried they may never see their children again. And even U.S. citizens are being deported. This week, the Department of Homeland Security welcomed Jeh Johnson as its new secretary. Secretary Johnson could stop the deportation policy the Obama administration has been practicing, giving real hope to new American families. DHS is tearing families apart because it’s following the Obama administration's self-imposed and arbitrary deportation quotas. Those quotas are keeping families apart for the holidays and turning DHS’s attention away from keeping us safe from real threats.

The Citizen's Coalition for Equal Access (CC=A) has pushed to get power doors installed locally in Farmington and West Hartford, Conn. People are very moved and grateful for these efforts. We want the same for the whole country.

Drawing attention to the Fact that Holy Rosary Church is in Danger of closing down

ACTIONS WERE TAKEN WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF THE RESIDENTS OF NEWARK...THE EDUCATION OF OUR CHILDREN IS OUR TOP PRIORITY AND THE CLOSURE OF THESE SCHOOLS WILL PLACE OUR CHILDREN AT A HIGHER DISADVANTAGE...THE PROCESS SHOULD ALLOW PARENTS, STUDENTS, EDUCATORS, COMMUNITY AND TAXPAYERS TO BE PART OF THE DECISIONMAKING PROCESS.

The South Shore, South Chicago, and surrounding communities are essentially food Desserts, lack of quality grocery stores, farmers market , and food distributions negatively impact our neighborhoods , elderly, and our children's health. Please get involved!!!!!
