Shocking! Earlier this week, news broke that in Ohio Walmart has been holding a food drive, asking its employees to donate to their hungry coworkers. I have a better idea for Walmart: Pay your workers enough to feed their families. But there is hope for change! Around the country Walmart workers are standing up and across they country they even went on strike for their right to speak out about issues like their low-wages without fear of Walmart retaliating against them. Workers and their supporters plan to hold protests at 1,500 Walmart stores around the country and in Miami this Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving and the “Superbowl of Retail.” Sign my petition calling on Walmart to stop relying on other people’s generosity to support its low-road business model.

As a combat veteran, I knowhow the ravages of war effectthe the young who serve their Country. It is high time to cease the shooting and find another way to conduct our brand of Foreign Policy. We have been shooting at other people since the birth of our Nation, and it is time to stop.

I preregistered to vote when I was 17 in high school and have voted in practically every election since I was 18. I feel that the ability to vote is an integral part of being an active and properly informed citizen. Getting people active at an early age encourages them to be more involved in our society. We need to ensure that all eligible U.S. citizens in Florida are able to vote without any substantial obstacles in their way. Voting should be made easier, not harder! Without the right to vote, you don't have a voice in our society.

All across the earth, plants, animals and people are suffering from climate disruption. Politicians keep debating and thwarting significant climate protection policy, while extreme energy causes rapid, irreversible harm. Our NY state tax dollars are funding extreme energy production and infrastructure. It is wrong and utterly irresponsible. As NYS citizens and stakeholders, we affirm and uphold that our tax dollars (held in the NYS $164 billion Common Retirement Fund) should "promote the common good." We do not want our tax dollars to cause climate disruption, environmental degradation and immense suffering. Investing in fossil fuels is personally affecting millions of NY residents. The vibrant, natural land around our rural, upstate homes, farms and wineries is leased for fracking and targeted for LNG pipeline expansion, storage and transport. NYC is being hit hard by LNG infrastructure. All across the state, land, water and air quality is being threatened and severely impaired. There is a comprehensive, sustainable, green energy pathway - available now - which is environmentally, socially and financially responsible and prudent.

The number of unarmed civilians and suspects dying by the same people who are supposed to "protect" and serve is becoming unbearable. Police officers should get the maximum penalty for killing anyone who is unarmed.

State paid CEO "steals" money from social service workers, by failing to pay them and not one official, from governing positions, express concern or advocacy. The only option for victims is to spend more unpaid time, as well as personal money, to seek legal action that is unreasonable, with unlikely results. The "criminal" aka employer is protected. This has got to stop. Social workers and counselors are commonly hired as Independent contractors, and unknowingly are not covered by rules that apply to "employees", that would offer them some level of recourse and advocacy when unpaid. Help Protect the Protectors of Children, not CEO's that became wealthy on stolen tax dollars, that should go to those that directly provided the service.

Increasing Minimum wage to $10.10 an hour will provide more income for low-income families and individuals and will boost the paychecks of over 30 million workers in the United States.

Background A concern for american families and businesses is substantially addressed in a macroeconomic design concept, so that financial services like housing, government, and business finance, savings and pensions, boosting confidence at every level giving everyone a better chance of success in planning their personal savings and lifetime and business finances. This should be politically attractive.

Fracking injects radioactive and toxic materials deep into the earth; fracking uses millions of gallons of fresh water which is returned to the surface as hazardous waste. Fracking industrializes the rural landscape with constant noise, air pollution, and dust from tanker trucks carrying fracking materials to and hazardous wastes from the wells. Gas wells release high levels of methane, which contributes to global climate change. People and animals suffer from exposure to fracking chemicals in the air and water. To save our planet and our land and water, it's time to concentrate on energy efficiency and developing renewables. Please tell Governor Cuomo: Don't FRACK New York.

I believe that any medical coverage should include dental coverage. Dental coverage should not be denied because of inability to pay. It is a medical need and it should be included as such.
