  • Goodwill: Pay your disabled workers a fair wage!
    Recently, NBC News did a story on a shocking subject—Goodwill doesn't pay it's disabled employees minimum wage, more than that, some employees make mere PENNIES an hour! Claiming legality under the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, Goodwill utilizes a loophole to pay some of its, most at need employees, as low as $0.22 an hour. While half a dozen Regional CEOs, of this 5 Billion dollar a year "organization", are making a salary over $400,000, it's reprehensible to think that they are so grossly abusing their disabled workers. As America rallies together to fight for a much needed raise to the federal minimum wage, we can't forget those who legally still aren't making even that. Tell Goodwill CEO Jim Gibbons that it's time to start treating his workers fairly and paying them an honest wage!

  • OAKLAND BEARS YOUTH HOCKEY-WE NEED NEW MANAGEMENT
    The City of Oakland owns the Oakland Ice Center and the Oakland Bears Youth Hockey Club. The City of Oakland hired and contracted the San Jose Sharks Management to run the Ice Center and the Oakland Bears Youth Hockey Club. The San Jose Sharks management has been ineffectual at running the club and has repeatedly and recklessly put our children directly in harms way. We need an immediate change.

  • Should Landlords Have To Support Their Tenants?
    The City of Chicago should not have the right to force any citizen to provide free shelter for individuals. The mayor can open shelters to house individuals who cannot meet their financial obligation to the landlord. I most definitely am being affected by this issue. The financial burden including but, not limited to court cost is insurmountable.

  • Boycott Ringling Brothers Circus until live animals no longer used
    The process of obtaining and training wild animals to be circus performers is cruel and unnatural. Babies, especially elephants, are stolen from their mothers and made to perform tricks for "entertainment". Ringling Brothers has been cited and fined many times for abuse and even death of animals in their care.
