• Extend Unemployment Benefits to More Than 1.3 million Americans
    These are people trying to do the best by their families. The only reason why they qualify for these benefits is that they have a work history. So you’re talking about people who’ve worked, who lost their jobs —through no fault of their own —and who are now actively looking for work.

  • President Obama: You have not stop the chemical Harassment in Minnesota and Maryland
    I live here in Minneapolis, MN in a senior building called Park Holmes Village. The chemicals came here from Montgomery, MD where the Police refused to stop the chemicals at Forest Oak Towers, a Senior Building, owned by the government. Park Holmes Village is a Senior building supported by the government, the same behavioral pattern exists here where the Manager and Management refuses to stop the harassers. The Police refuses to do a proper Investigation but threatens and abuses me. Other people are affected but do not know it is toxic fumes that causing the illnesses here. One harasser died here recently, several people were affected at Forest Oak Towers in Maryland and Ebenezer Park Apartments in Minnesota. The same thing is happening here where the Police refused to do an Investigation but threaten and abuse to stop the message that these chemicals attack the Nervous System to cause pain and disability plus focuses on any Vital Organ to disable and kill its victims. The behavioral pattern is that the second floor has tenants with chemicals to spray down to the lobby, community room hallways plus laundry room. The leader in under me in 110, he sprays all day and night , until I go to sleep, plus when I am asleep to disable me. I am only a messenger to report this terroristic act in a World Power country. Using chemicals to harm Human beings and animals is an terroristic act. This behavior must be stopped and a proper and covert Investigation must be done immediately to stop the networking and experiments of these chemicals. There was an terroristic act in Syria killing civilians with chemicals, stop this behavior here in America and get these chemicals to be tested and assessed to see what is causing pain and disability plus death among those that are vulnerable to these harmful substances. Maryland, Minnesota and Illinois are Democratic States of America. By neglecting to stop this behavior, it means supporting the creators of these chemicals to be successful as the Syrians and the Russians using chemicals to kill. You need to get chemical professionals to get these chemicals from one apartment, 110 Tom Hines, to stop it everywhere in Minneapolis, MN and everywhere in USA and the other countries of the World.

  • Speaker Boehner: LET THE HOUSE VOTE ON THE IMMIGRATION BILL
    Because there is no way to force Speaker Boehner to allow a vote on this Bill, even though it has enough votes in the House to pass. Americans, including conservative economists, religious leaders, businesses and the AFL-CIO all support Immigration Reform. Good, hard working people can stay and we can identify the ones who should not be here through this law. Our country cannot wait any longer for economic, moral, and National Security reasons.

  • War with Iran? Sherrod Brown is the Firewall
    In open defiance of the Obama Administration, New Jersey Senator Robert Menendez has introduced a bill that would impose new sanctions on Iran. Ten Democratic Senate committee chairs have written to Majority Leader Reid, warning that passage of the Menendez bill would likely blow up the Administration's diplomacy with Iran, leaving military force as the only option to restrain Iran's nuclear program. Ohio Democratic Senator and progressive champion Sherrod Brown has not co-sponsored the Menendez bill. But he has been an original co-sponsor of AIPAC-promoted bills in the past. Thus, Senator Brown is sure to face extreme pressure from AIPAC to co-sponsor this pro-war bill. Urge Senator Brown to stand tall against AIPAC's pressure and to support the President's diplomatic engagement with Iran. Congress should not undermine the President's efforts to prevent another war in the Middle East.

  • LET IT STAND, GOVERNOR!
    In 2004, Utahns passed by ballot measure an amendment to the state constitution that bans same sex marriage. On December 20, 2013, a federal judge in Utah declared that ban to be unconstitutional under the 14th Amendment. But Utah Governor Gary Herbert has directed the Utah Attorney General's office to appeal that decision. In addition, the conservative Sutherland Institute has started an online petition asking people to "support the critical importance of traditional marriage to the health and success of our society." Seventeen states have already decided, by court order or citizen ballots, to allow equal rights to the LGBT community, including the right to marry. Please help us show the Governor and the Sutherland Institute that they are simply out of touch with reality and that the majority of Utahans think we should embrace the 21st century and allow equal rights to everyone. Please sign OUR petition that is aligned with our Constitutional rights.

  • End Fossil Fuel Subsidies!
    We must act now to limit the increasingly catastrophic consequences of global warming and climate change (more extreme weather, droughts, rising sea levels, changes in water availability) of which the burning of fossil fuels is the primary culprit. Our own survival, as well as that of thousands of other species, is in question.

  • PA DEP, DON’T RUSH TO APPROVE NEW FRACKING RULES.
    On December 14th, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection began accepting comments on proposed revisions to the state’s oil and gas regulations. The PA DEP’s Environmental Quality Board is also conducting 7 public hearings during the 60-day comment period that ends on February 12th. Currently, communities in 38 counties are being fracked, yet the EQB is only holding hearings in 7 counties, including 2 where no fracking is occurring. Meanwhile, the most heavily impacted counties, like Bradford and Butler are being passed over. We are calling on the DEP to add hearings in every county being fracked. In addition, the 60-day comment period is far too short. Proposed rules like these demand ample time for comment. Rules on similarly important matters have been subject to comment periods anywhere from 120-days to six months long. The short comment period also impacts the scheduling of the hearings. The first hearing is scheduled for January 7th, the second day of the first full work week of the new year. All seven will be held within 17 days during one of the most difficult travel months of the year. No alternate dates have been provided by the DEP, nor have they stated a process for cancelling and rescheduling meetings due to weather. Does the DEP really want to hear from you? Sure doesn’t seem that way! Demand that the DEP do its job and listen to your comments and concerns. Tell them to add hearings so people, some whose lives have been turned upside down by fracking, are heard. Tell them to extend the comment period so that these proposed rules receive the proper scrutiny. We risk nothing by taking our time to get this right; we risk everything by rushing.

  • Digital Right-to-Privacy Act
    Amid all the alarm about NSA and other government agencies spying on US citizens, we have ignored that fact that it all starts with data collection by private sector companies. This data hoarding, largely without the consent or knowledge of most users, poses a threat to our freedom and autonomy, regardless of whether NSA is using it. The very existence of such data on such a scale is a permanent risk to a free society.

  • Protect the amazing Leuser Ecosystem forever!
    The Leuser Ecosystem is home to the densest population of orangutans remaining anywhere in the world and is the only place where orangutans, tigers, elephants, rhinos and sun bears live in the same forest together. The people of Aceh have long fought to protect the Leuser Ecosystem as it also provides them with clean water for downstream irrigation, agriculture and food production and helps avoid soil erosion, flooding, landslides and pest outbreaks. Massive palm oil companies are pushing hard to open this pristine ecosystem up for mass clearing in order to plant palm oil plantations. Local activists and community members are being joined by scientists and conservationists around the world to call for protection for the Leuser. And protection comes down to one man, Governor Dr. Zaini Abdullah, who can nominate the Leuser as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
