From Code Talkers to the cavalry, more than 200,000 Native Americans have proudly served our country and they have enlisted at rates far exceeding those of other ethnicities. Yet, they lack a special place to honor those who have served. Senate bill 1046 allows the new National Museum of the American Indian to begin raising private funds for a new memorial right on the National Mall in Washington, DC. Show your support for our Native American heroes by asking Congress to support a Native American Veterans' Memorial.

We are Curt & Teresa. Some people might call us “victims” of the foreclosure crisis –but the truth is we’ve become outspoken anti-foreclosure activists and “champions” on behalf of the hundreds of thousands of New Jersey families like ours who were misled by the banks, laid-off during the recession and are now facing foreclosure because Governor Christie refuses to help “people like us”. Just last week we both risked arrest, alongside hundreds of other homeowners from across the country, at the Department of Justice protesting the “too big to fail” banks who created the foreclosure crisis in the first place. We are calling on Governor Christie to join us in that fight and demand that the Wall Street criminals responsible for this mess are held accountable. Last September we published an op-ed in the Newark Star-Ledger pointing out the fact that Gov. Chris Christie took $75 million earmarked for New Jersey homeowners and diverted it to offset tax breaks for the state’s wealthiest residents. He literally robbed the poor and gave to the rich. Just a few weeks after our op-ed was published, Governor Christie attacked a reporter for asking him questions about his mismanagement of an additional $300 million in federal Home Keeper Funds meant to keep struggling homeowners out of foreclosure. Governor Christie has abused, mismanaged and all but refused to properly distribute $375 MILLION DOLLARS in funds meant to help hard-working families like ours. Even more brazen, just last week he asked New Jersey voters to pat him on the back for issuing a lousy $1 million dollars to fund housing counselors to assist families in foreclosure. This is blatant election year rhetoric by a Governor whose record is painfully clear. Please join us and demand that he enact a moratorium on all foreclosures in New Jersey until he does right by the tens of thousands of families in our state struggling to save their homes! Release the money and prosecute the criminals! Sincerely, Curt & Teresa The Hamilton Family Port Reading, NJ Members, New Jersey Communities United

American Airlines is threatening to ELIMINATE the pet travel program from the Virgin Islands...All because of ONE complaint! This program, started by the humane society, allows for pets to find homes on the mainland. This program HAS to remain open to prevent needless animal deaths. PLEASE SIGN, this will help animals find loving homes!

Governor Walker has showed a definite lack of competency throughout his governorship as is evident by the problems at the WEDC and his basic lack of understanding general mathmatics by refusing to expand BadgerCare by accepting the federal funds that Chris Christy, Jan Brewer, Rick Scott and many other republican governors have. These factors bring serious questions of his competency to run our state into play.

As an alumna of Boston University (COM '03), I'm asking President Brown to endorse Senator Warren's Bank on Students Bill to keep student rates low and affordable. I depended on student loans to attend and graduate from BU ten years ago and I want to make sure other students from all backgrounds are able to have the same opportunities extended to me as a result.

The stigma of the term "illegal"

Think this can't happen? Think again. Crowd-funding gives us the power of numbers. Which owners would you prefer own some of the nation's premier papers -- the Koch brothers? Murdoch? Or us? I love the investigative reporting that the Chicago Tribune and the LA Times have done. If the Kochs or Murdoch get a hold of these newspapers, you can say goodbye to crucial reporting.

The "Bradley Bill," SB 1715, was passed out of Executive Committee (11-0) to the legislature on Tuesday, May 21st. It will be "fast tracked" for a vote by the full body, and if passed, will be signed by Governor Quinn. We all know there is potential for an accident which could taint our last and best supply of water in this region, the Mahomet Aquifer. An alternative bill, HB 3086, contains a two-year moratorium on fracking and calls for further study. With all the unknowns, why isn't that a better choice?

On Memorial Day, as a member of Families of 9/11 & Voices of Sept 11, I want to honor and recognize the fallen by beginning a petition effort to end the endless war that has been ongoing since 9/11/2001. My son is now more than eight. In less than ten years' time, I imagine the world he will live in. I wonder what he will be asked of him. Will he be enmeshed in what will by then be a 22 year long world war? I want a Memorial Day where we can remember and honor the fallen ~ during a time of peace. How can we exist in a war without end? The answer, I think, is clear. We can remember and honor the fallen best by seeking a better world.

After this week's tragic events it appears some Politicians want to use those events to re-introduce debate on the Communications Data Bill (Snoopers Charter) thus affecting EVERYONE's Civil Liberties. We at The National Liberal Party oppose this Bill and would like your support.
