• Rep. Nadler, please help overturn Citizens United
    Unlimited, often secret spending from billionaires and multinational corporations has been a disaster. If we do not act, money will continue to inundate our elections and overwhelm the voices of voters. This corrosive system can result in government for the highest bidder, rather that of, by, and for the people.

  • Governor Pence: Expand Medicaid in Indiana
    Under the Affordable Care Act, states can choose to cover more people. So far, about half the states have said they will do this. Indiana has not yet decided. Governor Pence should expand Medicaid so that thousands of uninsured Hoosier will be covered. Also it will create thousands of jobs in the state as well as bring in billions of dollars in economic development.

  • A Better Kaplan Starts with Great Teachers
    Nobody is more dedicated to making Kaplan a better place than Kaplan teachers. But Kaplan does not value its teachers. Instead of negotiating a fair contract that includes sick days, decent pay for prep time and health care, Kaplan representatives walked out of the last bargaining session shortly after it started.

  • Lying purposefully on the floor of Congress should be a crime.
    Calling climate change a "hoax" is an obvious lie told with the purpose to deceive the American people. This purposeful lie, told to protect the monetary interests of the very few, could cost the country trillions (lost lives, lost crops, lost real estate, loss of all forests, loss of water resources, etc.). Such outrageous claims should be proven or the speaker censored.

  • Senator Mitch McConnell: Stop Voting Against Students in Kentucky!

  • Justice For Jessica
    Jessica was a loving, caring mother of three, who was ruthlessly hunted down and murdered by an ex-boyfriend. For weeks an application for an order of protection was ignored by court and police officials. Several phone calls the day Jessica died were inadequately responded to by local officials. Her death was tragic and unnecessary.
