In mid-October at New York Comic Con, Mike Babchik and his friends snuck in with SiriusXM credentials (where Babchik is producer and on-air personality on the Mad Dog Sports Radio show) to racially and sexually harass other attendees. Claiming to lead a film crew for a television show, Babchik approached women with “interview” techniques that included making statements like, “I want to buy an umbrella [that comes] with an Asian girl.” And, “... In my experience, girls who stand next to me longer than 20 seconds get a cream pie.” It was shocking, abusive, and disgusting. It would be bad enough if Babchik was just a regular conference-goer behaving badly, but the fact that he presented himself as a SiriusXM employee is beyond the pale. No company -- especially Sirius, which touts lineups of progressive musicians and media icons like Oprah Winfrey and Bruce Springsteen -- should tolerate this kind of behavior from its staff. Making matters worse, all efforts from subscribers and members of the public to get a response from SiriusXM about Babchik have been met with silence. Emails, phone calls, tweets, and Facebook posts continue to remain unanswered. In fact, several people have posted to SiriusXM’s Facebook page only to discover later that their comments have been hidden or deleted. We demand that SiriusXM stop ignoring us and take immediate action and fire Babchik. The minute Babchik used his Sirius credentials to allow him to harass people, he acted on behalf of the company. Firing him sends a powerful message that no one can act so horribly and still expect to have a job the next day.

People need to have time to be with their families and the holidays that we have are some of the only times that people get to be with the family they are so close with. If these corporations or businesses take one holiday like Thanksgiving away whats next Christmas, Easter maybe they will start enforcing no weekend of even by requesting. Thee Corps have to much power as it is and the PEOPLE are feed up!!!!

I want Move On and progress groups to take an agressive posture aimed and dismantling the reactionary political establishment.

We want to start this petition becasue we thnk it was a very good idea to honor the famous boy band. We think this would put a huge smile on their fans faces because we know that the members really do care about their fans and we want to show our honest appreciation.

OUR CHILDREN’S FUTURE AT STAKE Earlier this year, the sequester cut education funding by $1.7 billion. These cuts are expected to impact up to 1.2 million children, at least 2,700 schools and up to 30,000 staff. The greatest impact of these cuts is to the programs that most directly affect children from communities with the greatest need, limiting access to Early Head Start and Head Start preschool programs, programs for children with disabilities, and funding to schools that serve low-income families. The sequester’s cuts to the education budget should be reversed. If Congress can come together to stop the sequester cuts that caused flight delays, then they should have no problem doing so when our children’s future is at stake. As if these cuts weren’t bad enough, the U.S. House Budget Committee Chair Paul Ryan (R-WI) has proposed a budget that cuts even more from education – on the scale of $6.9 billion in cuts to our schools, our teachers, and our kids in the next year alone. The Ryan budget will result in 50 million students will have larger class sizes, less individualized attention and support in class, and fewer classroom teachers and aides for students with special needs. Our future depends on giving all our kids a chance, not robbing them of opportunity. We can’t let John Boehner and Republicans in Congress throw our kids under the school bus. Our solution is simple: NO MORE EDUCATION CUTS!

House Democrats have broken Speaker John Boehner's deadlock and introduced an immigration bill with a pathway to citizenship for the 11 million without papers. So far, over 180 House Democrats have signed on as cosponsors! But in order to get this bill past the finish line, we're going to need Republican support. The good news is that it's there. Your district's representative in the House, Congressman Michael Grimm, is one of the 28 House Republicans who support immigration reform. His support for this new bill could be the tipping point for our movement. If he becomes the first Republican to sign on, we know more of his colleagues in his party will build up the courage to follow. We know Rep. Grimm is ready to listen to you. In fact, Rep. Grimm has said in the past that "immigration is a huge issue that I know we need to fix, and we're getting close." But, “getting close” isn’t going to cut it. We already have a good bill waiting in the House, and we just need to get Rep. Grimm to stand by his words and come to our side. He needs to join the more than 180 House members and cosponsor this new immigration bill! We need you and other advocates in your district to pressure Rep. Grimm into supporting this bill. If we get Rep. Grimm on board, your district could make all the difference for the millions without papers across the nation. The momentum is on our side because enough votes exist in the House to pass reform today. But instead Speaker Boehner hides behind excuses, delays, and flat-out refuses to give us a vote. We've come too far to stop now. Tell Rep. Grimm to stand up for his district by cosponsoring this new immigration bill in the House and passing the path to citizenship for the 11 million!

Mr. Dave Brown Sr. is being held without cause by the LaSalle Detention Center in Jena, Louisiana. The Deportation officers Mr. Perkins, Mr.Hartnet, Brian Firmin, and Ms. Lily have been plotting and doing everything with all their might to get Mr. Brown to sign himself over to be deported back home to England. Mr. Brown's mother just passed away this pass thursday November 17 at 12:15 a.m. A call was placed to the detention center early that morning but Mr.Brown was not notified until late that evening. Mr. Brown's family, Dr's of Mrs Elvina Brown (mother) as well as his Pastor, Bishop J.C White put in a request for Mr.Brown to be granted visitation before his mother passed away and then after so that he could attend his mother's funeral. After a few days we were notifified that our request was denied. We couldn't quite wrap our heads around the thought that anyone birthed by a woman themselves could be so heartless and cruel and not grant Mr.Brown a visit to see his mother meanwhile she was ill and now deceased. Shame on "immigration"!!!!!!!!! You have people within your system abusing their power and working against what we know we have a right to. We the family are asking for help to boycott and expose The Department of Deportation and LaSalle Detention Center and DEMAND that Mr.Dave Brown be released in time to attend his mother's funeral!!!!

The Mehlmaur Bill - House Bill 1898 for Massachusetts - Now on Facebook @ Massachusetts Health Option, is unique; it will enable a person seeking holistic/naturopathic treatment to be covered comprehensively by health insurance. In New Hampshire a similar law was passed providing coverage for naturopathic treatment; however the patient has to pay a significant amount of out-of-pocket expenses for the prescribed treatments. What we would like to see in Massachusetts is more practical coverage. We say practical because only covering a portion of the naturopathic/holistic practitioners visit is just a first step towards proper treatment. These natural solutions have significant healing aspects and there is enough food science to support these claims. By only covering a portion of the office visit a patient is left facing the cost of their portion of the visit, their “health insurance” premiums, and the treatment prescribed which often requires supplements, organic fruits and vegetables, and “superfoods”. Since currently none of the natural treatments are covered by insurance, a patient faces the full cost of these therapies. An insurance company will spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on pharmaceuticals, surgeries, and other toxic therapies which only treat symptoms. Natural/holistic treatments heal the root cause, teach patients to care for their bodies, and create an overall lifestyle change which promotes the health of a patient for life thereby reducing the need for medicine, surgeries, and the typically “accepted” course of aging in America. The Mehlmauer Bill will give people a choice; a choice which is currently not available to those with a limited income. We believe Massachusetts should be the leader and set the example for an overhaul of the traditional treatment options available in our “modern” medical system. Instead of seeing healthcare as surgery, drugs, and procedures, let’s offer an alternative. We believe that the healing process starts with a choice. This bill will enable the patient to have more options, to have more control, to truly have choices in their medical care, their treatment plans, their healthcare options. Since we’ve been petitioning, an overwhelming majority of people have said they support this concept and love that it would give them a choice. Help us help our state; let us give the people an alternative view on medicine, on healthcare, on the healing process all together. Let’s give them a choice.

Every town in Bergen County has a dog park, but Hackensack does not have any designated area that our dogs can run and play safely. There are many dogs in our town and they help keep our streets safe. We think its time that Hackensack does something for these pets and their owners.

The zoning map in the village of Warwick currently has fitness centers zoned under Light industry. Fitness centers should be considered central business. Light industry is manufacturing. With the current zoning map a fitness center will not be successful as the allowed zones are on side roads and back roads. Break the cycle and allow for a fitness center in the village district on the main street.

The classes are being put into different areas and not being able to mingle with one another. How do we make new friends? FREE PLAY EVERYDAY!!!

The City school board is going to vote on whether to erase the name, colors and mascot of Muncie Central High School. It has been in existence for 145 years, the longest in the State of IN and is unparalleled in history, tradition and athletic excellence. This school is part of Muncie's and Indiana's heritage and has historical value that should not be terminated.
