• Protect the Cheyenne Ancestral Homeland
    Arch Coal wishes to put in a new Tongue River Railroad for a new Otter Creek coal strip mine in the Cheyenne Ancestral Homeland. The proposed development would have numerous impacts to the land, wildlife, water, air, and ultimately destroy sacred sites. No public interest is served by this project, and to destroy a people's sacred land is wrong.

  • Gov. McCrory and NCGA; Stand Up Against Shoot First Laws
    Whether you have a personal experience with gun violence or not, each of us is impacted by the “Shoot First/ Stand Your Ground” Laws. No longer are we perceived as our own Neighbors, Friends, or Travelers. These laws are uniquely designed to turn every Man, Woman and Child into “Prey”. While this law clearly puts lives at risk, it also endangers our very concept of how we perceive each other. Reject the notion that your neighbor is a ‘Thug’. Reject the language that is being imposed upon us as a Society. Stand Up Against “Stand Your Ground”.

  • keisean Ellis
    Hello! My name is Cassandra Nelson and I am writting on behalf of keisean Ellis who is my son. On December 30,2011 keisean Ellis was forced at gun point into his car (while other gun man was lefted at his home waiting to kill his 2 daughters )and forced to put on a mask and gave a crow bar, the gun man took the gun from his head and put the gun in the lower part of his back before entering a cassey gas station were keisean had put in a application for a second job. After the robbery keisean drove were he knew police sat on a daily base, keisean kept turning off and on the 1 head light he had and kept swirving to get the police attention, finally the cop pulled him over. Wen after the cop pulled him over for a traffic stop keisean try to tell the cop what was going on the cop from normal turned them both over Bloomington police, after questioning keisean was took in a different room from the camera were he was beat and charge. Keisean Ellis has been beat by guards and they allowed other inmates to attack him. I have repeatedly called the public defender who was a pointed to keisean I called the judge I wrote the white house and contacted the naacp alone with the civil right the sheriff department and the FBI. Keisean heard about attorney Patrick fagan , he asked me to call him, after word we verbally agreed to him being keisean attorney, I explain how my son had been beat how I contacted the NAACP and the fbi and the whitehouse. I told him I wanted a discovery and a report on keisean being beat that I could here it on the phone and how record it and me and my son and the guards the nurse (who refused to give him medical attention) conversation over the phone, how he was not giving phone cards or conversery until 1 to weeks later. Keisean was put in the whole he was on 23 hours lock down he was threatened and put were other blocks were men who threatened to rape him were he was put around raicist white men who called him niggers and who would attack him, false reports were put on him a guy who threat him over the phone wen he called his so called girlfriend she would give him different phone numbers to call her then she would have another guy answer and threaten him, this same guy so happens to get locked up with keisean after I file complaints on the guards. Naacp member has a death in his family therefore did not go to check on keisean until after his face had healed , the gun man writes a letter staying keisean girlfriend and her cuisine set the whole thing up, he was then beating, (letter never went before the judge, in fact I sat in the court room and here the judge repeatedly say/forced keisean having the gun)( in the discovery which I was told I can read and was not allowed to leave the states attorney office with, it states police saw the other guy place the gun on the back seat of the floor of the car.) These people refused to acknowledge a crime was committed against keisean and he was forced against his will. The attorney first told keisean not to discuss this case with me, then I explain I am his mother the one paying him. Then he told keisean nigger if I don't my money you are going to jail , he went on vacation sent his father to court to tell the judge to give keisean 3 to 5 years (keisean is currently Severn 6 years) (double jeopardy) the girlfriend or ex girlfriend bragged about how her family is friends with alot of the guards/and cops there how some of them her and her aunt serve at the bar, how the guards tell her who visit keisean and every thing else she wants to know. She said that she hated him and that she told him she was going to get him. Keisean Ellis is currently in Robinson illinois department of correctional. Were he is still currently still going thru the same treatment, keisean been beating to the point he was forced to lie, even on himself. He has lack of funds and support. I am currently not able to work I am waiting on disability. Keisean worked at Myers store in Bloomington normal,Illinois before this happen to him. Keisean Ellis and his family took care of his children and helped the mother by taking her off the streets of Bloomington normal , Illinois. Were here family left her, while keisean Ellis worked at burger king were he met her, keisean is a heart patient. Keisean Ellis m31993 13423 east 1150the ave Robinson, Illinois 62454 States attorney stated to keisean Ellis after the trail that he would only given keisean Ellis 1year of boot camp because he's never been in trouble before.(keisean is currently on depression medication that is causing suicide thoughts, due to the abuse and mistreatment and not being able to father and be there with his children) ( I am very concerned about him . that guards/white or other inmates may harm him if not himself. Keisean was told after they moved him all over the jail for white inmates to attack him and call him racial names that he won't get good time and may even be shipped out to another facility.)

  • STOP demolition of Hollywood Park 12/2013
    Hollywood Park Race Track is set for demolition by developers. Our mission is the preservation of this iconic -- and-- Californian landmark. TAKE ACTION! Horses such as Seabiscuit, Lava Man, Citation & Zenyatta have lived and raced here. Trainers such as Jack Van Berg, Bobby Frankel, Charlie Whittingham, Doug O' Neill and Bobby Baffert train or have trained here. Jockeys like Red Pollard, Pat Day, Chantal Sutherland, Laffit Pincay, Victor Espinoza and Mike Smith have raced here. Bing Crosby, Walt Disney, Samuel Goldwyn are a few of the famous luminaries who contributed to Hollywood Park's history! The Hollywood Park infield lake has a young flock of Flamingos originating from Hialeah Park Race Track, the sole fertile flock in the USA. The original flock (12 birds) imported from Cuba in the 60's has increased to nearly 500 including some of the original breeding stock. If we preserve the habitat in Hollywood Park, San Diego Zoo experts predict that this flock could increase to 4-500 birds by 2070. Your signature and comment could help preserve Hollywood Park by listing it on the National Trust's 11 Most Endangered Historic Places in USA for future generations to enjoy.

  • Governor Jerry Brown: Verify Our Hours
    It takes Marriage and Family Therapist interns like me years to complete our licensing requirements, including our 3000 supervised clinical hours. After we’ve met these requirements, the Board of Behavioral Sciences currently takes 7+ months to verify our hours, simply because they are understaffed. Hiring just one more employee at the BBS would make an enormous difference in the lives of interns who are forced to wait almost a whole year despite being basically license-ready.

    New Best Management Requirements will become law in Florida on August 10th, 2013. A public hearing was held July 30th, 2013, and many urban beekeepers found the requirements as written to be unfair, vague, or in some cases prohibitive of urban beekeeping. Your signature will help rule makers realize that the people of Florida support urban beekeeping.
