Corporations and their political allies are trying to prevent the Senate from confirming President Obama's nominees to the National Labor Relations Board. Why? So that they won't have to worry about the laws that protect your rights at work, including your right to use Facebook, Twitter and other online forums on your own time to discuss things like unreasonable hours, a bad boss, or other workplace problems. You see, the National Labor Relations Board enforces the National Labor Relations Act, the law that protects the right of private sector workers to discuss their working conditions and try to make things better. The NLRB makes sure that workers get their jobs back if they have been illegally fired for airing their opinions of their employers on social networks. Republicans plan to stop the NLRB from enforcing the law by abusing the Senate rules and using silent filibusters to prevent confirmation of President Obama’s nominees. The Democratic majority has the power to close the loopholes in the Senate rules to stop these filibusters on qualified nominees. But they will only act if we demand action. Sign the petition to demand that the Senate take the necessary steps confirm all five members of the National Labor Relations Board.

Those with money, resources, and unlimited opportunity insists an increase of minimum wage would be disastrous to unskilled workers, and unemployment would increase. The bottom line is centered on reducing poverty and increasing standard of living; but failure is resulting due to power structure insistence on the effects of loss of profits or increase in expenses. The wealth gap has expanded in favor of the 'Haves', while the 'Have nots' were introduced to Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) to curve Public Opinion and offset low income living wage.

This pipeline brings hazardous tar sands and toxic chemicals more than 2000 miles across 6 states and is buried less than 20 miles from my home. Many of us have fought hard to prevent this from flowing. You have the power to stop it.

Unlike 62 other countries that currently label GMOs, politicians in Washington continue to protect corporate profits over the public's right-to-know what is in our food. Maine can do better.
