• FAIR SHARE - Property Tax Equity
    New York property tax is out of control - the highest in the nation & Sullivan County if one of the worst. Too many people are losing their homes due to tax foreclosures because of excessive property tax. These are homes, that have been lived in for years or even a life time, these are seniors and families trying to make ends meet, but their homes are going back to the county because they are unable to pay their property tax. The state is giving property tax exemptions to many wealthy developers in Sullivan County, along with all the religious non-profits. The tax burden (which pays for the infra-structure, townships and schools) is pushed on to the average homeowner. The excessive property tax is stopping people interested in buying here and makes it almost impossible to sell. No one is willing to buy into this situation, and this is why Sullivan County is one of the poorest in to county and has been for decades. This is shameful and clearly taxation without representation. For Sullivan County to thrive economically, we need careful planning, balanced budgets and fair-share development.

  • Thank you, Clean Money and DISCLOSE Act volunteers!
    Big Money special interests that dominate politics have the advantage of a Supreme Court that says money equals speech and laws that allow secret spending. But we have something even more powerful -- people like you! Clean Money and DISCLOSE Act volunteers like you have gathered and entered tens of thousands of signatures, made thousands of phone calls, given hundreds of presentations, packed the halls in Sacramento, signed targeted petitions, or made quick phone calls at key times. That's how SB 52, the California DISCLOSE Act, made it through the Senate – and how we'll beat dark money to get it through the Assembly and signed into law next year. Won't you take a moment to sign the petition thanking ALL our amazing activists? If you especially appreciated particular volunteers or activities this year, say so in the comment area. We'll share them with all our volunteers!

  • FIFA
    Fédération Internationale de Football Association FIFA-Strasse 20, P.O. Box 8044 Zurich, Switzerland Tel : +41-(0)43 222 7777, Dear FIFA and President Sepp Blatter: On November 19th, the Croatian national team, led by Josip Simunic, together with the entire Croatian stadium chanted a Nazi chant, “ZA DOM SPREMNI.” Imagine… in today’s world, Hitler and Nazi Croatia being glorified on center stage – in front of the world. Maybe you don’t know because nobody cares about the Serbian dead, but allow me to try express what the Serbian people went through in Croatia during the Second World War, please let the historical data speak: 1. “Increased activity of the bands [of rebels] is chiefly due to atrocities carried out by Ustaše units in Croatia against the Orthodox population. The Ustaše committed their deeds in a bestial manner not only against males of conscript age, but especially against helpless old people, women and children. The number of the Orthodox that the Croats have massacred and sadistically tortured to death is about three hundred thousand.” - Gestapo report to Reichsführer SS Heinrich Himmler, dated 17 February 1942, stated that: 2. "The Orthodox recipe of Ante Pavelic, Ustashi leader and Croatian Fuehrer, reminds one of the religious wars in [their] bloodiest aspects: one-third must become Catholic, one-third must leave the country and one-third must die. The last item was executed. When the leading men of the Ustashi movement are stating that they have slaughtered one million Serbs (including infants, children, women and aged) this in my opinion is a self-praising exaggeration. According to the reports that have reached me, my estimate is that the number of those defenseless slaughtered is some three-quarters of a million. [750,000]" [End quote.] - Herman Naubacher, "Sonderauftrag Sudosten 1940-1945. Bericht eines fliegenden Diplomate," Gottingen, 1956, 31. Mr. Naubacher was Hitler's personal assistant for Southeastern Europe and Balkan affairs. 3. "The greatest genocide during World War II, in proportion to a nation's population, took place, not in Nazi Germany but in the Nazi-created puppet state of Croatia. There, in the years 1941-1945, some 750,000 Serbs, 60,000 Jews and 26,000 Gypsies - men, women and children - perished in a gigantic holocaust. These are the figures used by most foreign authors, especially Germans, who were in the best position to know... "...The magnitude and the bestial nature of these atrocities makes it difficult to believe that such a thing could have happened in an allegedly civilized part of the world. Yet even a book such as this can attempt to tell only a part of the story." [End quote] - Professor Edmond Paris, 'Genocide in Satellite Croatia, 1941- 1945,' November, 1961, The American Institute for Balkan Affairs, from the introduction. Infants, children… women… can you even begin to imagine? Can you, tell me? Can you imagine my pain, our pain? Do you need more scientific data to empathize? Three, only three little quotes that tell the story of my grandmother, my family’s suffering and all suffering of Christian Serbs in Nazi Croatia, and the suffering continues even to this day. I get it the world doesn’t care. For most a Serbian life doesn’t mean much. European countries can hate Serbia and the Serbian people all they want, but today your submission, silence and continued appeasement of Croatian soccer’s Nazi tributes, salutes, and glorification ends. As much as your organization helped me, as much as I appreciate your kindness towards us and everything you did for us regarding the documentary film, as much as I love the way you work, and as much as I love soccer – it is ENOUGH. I will no longer sit by while your organization (and UEFA) let Croatians do what Josip Simunic did last night, or continue to chant “KILL THE SERB” every time there is an international match taking place in Zagreb. I, myself, will no longer allow your body to stay silent while 50,000 Croatians chant “SIEG HEIL” in Croatian (ZA DOM SPREMNI), and salute the Nazi way in FRONT of the whole world. It ends now. I will use all my resources, and I am announcing that I will do my best to prepare all legal action against FIFA or any other international body that continues supporting Croatian Nazi chants, salutes, their sick Nazi love, the records of threats to kill Serbs, the relentless dense racism against the Serbian people, public hate speech from the Croatian soccer executives, the Croatian National soccer team, governing body, players and fans. Remember and know all of this Croatian Nazi love is not new. Rather, it is a collective pattern throughout Croatian society and always has been this way since their defeat in World War II. Can you believe that a player with 105 caps for the Croatian soccer team, a role model for young Croatian children, a legend in Croatian soccer history, not only salutes Hitler and Nazi Croatia in front of the world, he then in the media defends it all. This is who you allow to be a role model for the next generation of soccer players around the world? Why haven’t you, FIFA, ever reacted? Why haven’t you, FIFA, done anything to STOP the pain and hurt the never ending Croatian soccer love affair with Nazi Croatia and Hitler causes? WHY? Please, I want an answer, tell me why? Too late. Now your silence and passive support of the close to 1 million children, women, and Serbian people who had their throats slit, their eyes and tongues cut out, who were raped, buried alive, hung on trees, burnt alive, starved to death, put in concentration camps, humiliated, violated, desecrated, murdered, persecuted, oppressed, totally ruined by the official state of Croatia and the Croatian people – STOPS HERE. No more FIFA. You will no longer stay silent. The Croatian National team body, players, coaches, fans and the Croatian state’s love for their Nazi past will be fought against. I will fight it legally, one young ...

  • SAVE THE RIGHT WHALE FROM EXTINCTION
    The people of the Georgia Coast call on you to protect the North American Right Whale. Right Whale mothers swim the length of the Atlantic Seaboard to bear their young here in their only known calving grounds. They are the most vulnerable members of a species that the State Legislature named “Georgia’s State Marine Mammal.” But the Right Whale is in serious danger of extinction at the hands of the U.S. Navy. The Navy is building a submarine warfare training range adjacent to the nursery of the most critically endangered of the large whales. Underwater explosives and sonar from surface ships and helicopters used in routine training exercises are extremely harmful to whales and dolphins. In 2005, 36 whales from a population of many thousands beached themselves on the Outer Banks after just a few days of sonar from the USS Teddy Roosevelt. The Navy says it will use sonar and underwater explosives 470 times a year over the 20-year lifespan of the warfare range. If 36 whales wash up dead on our beaches, that is 10% of the population. NOAA has said that the death of only one whale threatens the existence of this species. The massive whale and dolphin “takes” predicted by our Navy in the Atlantic, the Pacific, and the Gulf of Mexico---5 million instances of temporary hearing loss, 15,000 instances of permanent hearing loss, almost 9,000 lung injuries, and more than 1,800 deaths from sonar and underwater explosives over the next five years are cruel; and they are unnecessary. The Navy could prevent death by vessel strike by installing smart buoy systems and cellphone apps to detect whales instead of binoculars. In fact, it is only by using modern satellite technology, underwater drones, and simulation techniques to train personnel that we can maintain our place as the best Navy in the world. 20-year old sonar technology is useless against modern enemy subs coated with sonar-repelling paint. By converting to modern technology, we can reduce the toll on marine life without compromising national security. You are our leaders. You have the power to stop this inhumane slaughter. We urge you to use your influence to stop the Navy from removing from the earth a magnificent creature that has been here 50 million years.
