• Milford Board of Ed: Keep it Local!
    After recent devestating storms, Milford's local business need to be a priority over outside, big businesses. Recently, Milford Board of Education gave an out of area, big business, the contract to teach driver's education at our two public high schools, Jonathan Law, and Joseph A. Foran. The big business offered the board more money per student than we did and now they will be potentially taking 80% of business away from our family's top local driving school. Jim Richitelli (whose own kids went through our driving school), told us that we are "very qualified," however, they would not favor our local business since we offered less money per student than the big business offered.

  • Governor of California Jerry Brown: Issue a statement against global warming caused by palm oil.
    Palm oil cultivation, especially the ones that destroy old rain-forests is the biggest agricultural contributor to green house gases. Global warming knows no borders and the damage that is done in foreign countries, is directly affecting America today in extreme weather.

  • Abolish the Electoral College
    The Electoral College is a failed premise that needs to be abolished. Too much is weighed on swaying certain states and not enough on popular vote.

  • Stop Corporate Retail Cards Designed to Track Us and Our Private Lives
    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.

  • More Help For Sick/Disabled Poor in USA
    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.

  • Don't let Koch money influence public television programming!
    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!
