It's odd - we citizens are increasingly monitored more and more closely in our daily lives while monitoring the health of our precious natural resources and the creeping environmental harm to them is being scaled back and decreased by our legislative and regulatory bodies under the pressure and influence of big corporate interests and powerful elitists. Several chain retailers now charge many of us higher prices for their merchandise simply because we will not succumb to their card system to take our personal information and monitor us for the rest of our days on the earth. This is not true feedom - and it's a sad legacy if without saying a word, we accept it as our future.

Yes, someone I care about lives on less than 800 dollars a month. She can't afford to pay rent and utilities and buy "luxuries" like soap and toilet paper or able to afford to do laundry. Many of the poor aren't dirty because they want to be. It cost money to stay clean. She goes hungry at least 1 week out of the month. She can't afford to buy the healthy foods she needs for her diabetes and heart problems. It's a life of pain, terror, misery and feeling degraded for those in America who are truly too sick, disabled, and/or too elderly to be able to work no matter how much they wish they could.

Due to a conspiracy theory, my son Joshua Thorpe has lost 8 years out of his life do to unjust sentencing, as well as many other African American youths in the state of Nebraska. My son was getting more time then murderers based on hear say (a total of 23 years). The courts are allowing two, three, and some times four time offenders to be let out of prison in exchange for false information. We need help! As Martin Luther King Jr. stated "An injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere". Debido a una teoría de la conspiración, mi hijo Joshua Thorpe ha perdido 8 años de su vida por una sentencia injustas, así como muchos otros jóvenes afroamericanos en el estado de Nebraska. Mi hijo recibió una sentencia más alta que asesinos basados en testimonio de oídas (un total de 23 años). Los tribunales están permitiendo que delincuentes con dos, tres y cuatro delitos salgan de la cárcel a cambio de información falsa. ¡Necesitamos ayuda! Como Martin Luther King Jr. declaró "una injusticia en cualquier parte es una amenaza a la justicia en todas partes".

Last month, the New Yorker reported that public television backed out of airing the documentary Citizen Koch -- just because they were afraid of upsetting billionaire donor David Koch. David Koch has donated $23 million as a board member of two flagship PBS stations, WNET in New York and WGBH in Boston. Public television was founded to support the public interest, not to cater to the private interests of wealthy donors like the Koch brothers. Directed by Academy Award-nominated filmmakers, Citizen Koch exposes the outsize role of money in American politics, from the Kochs and other major political spenders. This is exactly the kind of dialogue that public television was founded to foster, regardless of whether or not a powerful donor is happy about it. Add your name -- public television should end the self-censorship and air Citizen Koch!

Governor Cuomo introduced a campaign-finance reform bill this week that would make big-money fundraiser a thing of the past – and make New York a leader in publicly-funded elections. Ironically, the governor is planning to host a $50,000-per-person fundraiser featuring Paul Simon. With Albany’s legislative session ending in 1 week, the next few days will determine whether Cuomo is really a reformer or just offering this bill as a fig leaf. Paul is a good guy, though, and he has the leverage to get Gov. Cuomo to actually pass campaign finance reform. Sign the petition asking Paul Simon to only play Gov. Cuomo's fundraiser if he passes campaign finance reform.

University of Phoenix students spend a lot of money pursuing their degrees and they deserve a quality education that prepares them for the workforce. Students who complete their degrees are more likely to find employment than those who do not graduate. Unfortunately, 60% of University of Phoenix students have withdrawn from classes without completing their studies. Furthermore, 1 in 4 University of Phoenix students default on their student loans. The consequences of defaulting on student loans can be severe and devastating such as garnished wages and damaged credit. These problems could be fixed if University of Phoenix invested more of their profits in education. By putting more money into instruction, support services for students, and instructor retention, University of Phoenix could better meet the needs of its students. Help us tell Congress and state legislators that increasing transparency and accountability in higher education is important because all students deserve a quality and affordable education. If you're a student at the University of Phoenix, please take our online survey and tell us about your experiences: http://action.seiu.org/page/content/for-profit-students/ For more information on our campaign, visit www.forprofitu.org

The president of the USA is limited to 2 terms in office, why SHOULD congressmen (women) have UNLIMITED terms of office. Retetion in congress allows the senior members to build up substantial power bases, which in turn helps to block congress from moving forward.

We, the undersigned, are concerned citizens, parents, students, family members, and neighbors of Guerin College Prep High School. We urge the Board of Directors and/or Administration to reinstate Coach Marcus Green. Our student athletes have had a tumultuos school year with numerous changes in coaching staff and as concerned citizens, we believe that our students have all been negatively affected by this action and with similar actions taking place earlier in the school year, it has now drawn a rational concern for us all as human beings.
