My case has been in the courts for well over a decade and although I have won I have received no justice because the court records are suppressed, even kept secret from me. Therefore, no court judgments have been carried out against those found guilty. It also means I cannot access my lawfully awarded punitive damages. Even Freedom of the Press has not been allowed. I want all court facts, letters to the court and all resulting judgments made publically available. It is the only way I will ever receive any justice.

Under current law, personal emails, contacts and chats can be shared by the provider without your knowledge. This means every email you send could make it to a government office, and you could never know about it. I don’t know about you, but I don’t want anyone, let alone the government, reading through every email I send without even notifying me. In many states, employers go as far as demanding access to email and social media accounts of candidates applying for jobs. Current laws are outdated and don't protect the online content that we all use daily. Sign the petition to the Senate now and urge them to support S. 607 and protect Internet privacy for all.

Our gay son, Marcel, is 11 years old and lives in Tennessee representative John Ragan's district. Marcel was severely bullied in fifth grade and despite our support, contemplated taking his own life. That year the "Don't Say Gay Bill" was introduced in the Tennessee state legislature to prevent teachers from talking with kids like Marcel about being gay. If Marcel had returned to public school under those circumstances, we feel certain the consequences would have been deadly. Now Marcel would like to ask for your help. Here's what he wrote: Over a year ago StudentsFirst named state representative John Ragan their Tennessee educational “Reformer of the Year.” StudentsFirst continued supporting John Ragan with donations and fundraising on his behalf. In February of 2013, Representative Ragan introduced the “Classroom Protection Act” which the Tennessee American Civil Liberties Union called “disgraceful” and an even “harsher version” of Tennessee’s notorious ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill. On April 29, 2013, StudentsFirst made a statement which they felt addressed the situation. While StudentsFirst made it clear they do not support the bill, they declined to rescind the award. Additionally, they did not specify if they would support John Ragan and his efforts in the future. They also gave no indication that they were sorry for donating to and fundraising for the bill’s sponsor. There was no mention that they hoped to help repair the damage their advocacy inflicted on bullied students in Tennessee. The concept of changing the education system to put students first is noble. However, honoring John Ragan, and by proxy his “Classroom Protection Act,” runs contrary to the very concept the name StudentsFirst suggests.

I can’t survive on the wages I make. So today, I and dozens of others who work in Seattle's fast food restaurants walked off our jobs. Most of us make close to minimum wage, and while the top tier of Seattle's economy is booming, we're getting left behind – unable to support our families, unable to build a better future, and unable to even make ends meet. It’s downright shameful that someone who works full time is forced to rely on public assistance because their employers aren't paying them enough. Paying us a livable wage will not only help us to support our families, but it will also help strengthen the entire economy. We'd be able to buy the everyday items we need, keeping the money in our community and making our neighborhoods safer. I've had it with food and coffee chains who are not paying workers in Seattle enough to survive. I hope that you are also outraged that full-time workers can’t afford rent, food, transportation, or health care. When I go back to work tomorrow, I want to know that Seattle has my back in my fight to be able to work hard and pay my rent. Please sign your name in solidarity.

Please don't show me a banner. Well, the wrong one, anyway

Need signatures to bring WSP back!!!

Don't flag it as right wing

To dove tale the already existing petition about the interest rate on student loans, I think that people should only have to pay the Principal back no matter how old the student loan is. Yes it affects me.

WALGREENS VIOLATED 2 PRIVACY ACT AND I AM THE VICTIM

As the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) nears final implementation, large, low-wage employers are trying to exploit a loophole. Obamacare requires large companies to provide their workers with healthcare, but if those workers are paid so little that they qualify for Medicaid, taxpayers are stuck with the bill. Companies like Walmart are already cutting hours and eliminating benefits, so they can make taxpayers pick up the cost of healthcare for their employees. The solution: Assembly Bill 880 which would penalize companies like Walmart that have workers enrolled in Medi-Cal -- California's version of Medicaid -- instead of covering those workers themselves, as mandated by Obamacare.

To bring the old school lps because they are awesome and the others or bad

Discretionary spending on children in New Jersey has declined two years in a row! I am worried about cuts to early childhood services like Head Start and Child Care, Meals on Wheels, and community-based services.
