Our country has suffered catastrophic economic and environmental devastation as a result of the ensuing imbalance of political and economic power over the power of the people. This power has been granted to corporate entities by affording them constitutional rights designed for human beings. I am starting my journey to Deny corporate personhood at the city level in Vancouver Washington to pass a resolution to Deny corporations human rights while giving corporations privileges that we the people grant them.

It is irresponsible to put at least a quarter of the US population at risk of long-lasting oil spill disasters simply to ship Canadian tar sands oil to US Gulf states mostly for export overseas. Canada should refine that oil IN CANADA and distribute the resulting (far less dangerous) products in essentially that same manner as such products are presently being distributed. This would not only be safer, it would also be a huge boon for Canadian businesses, and it will increase employment for Canadian workers.

Recently, TIME Magazine called Marco Rubio “The Republican Savior” and said that he is “the key player in his party’s efforts to make up to Hispanic voters.” But instead of using his newfound political power to pass immigration reform, Rubio is imitating anti-immigrant members of Congress like Jeff Sessions, and is slow-walking the process in order to use the spotlight for his own political ambitions. Last weekend, Rubio wrote a letter asking the Chairman of the Judiciary Committee to slow down immigration reform--a move that could end up killing the process altogether. If Senator Rubio is the Republicans’ last hope with immigrant voters, then he needs to do more than play political games with our future. Tell Senator Rubio that we are onto him. We need a leader who's willing to put our community ahead of his own political agenda.

The corruption and willful violation of the Arizona State Family Court Rules of Law by Judge Teresa Sanders and Best Interests Attorney Christine Powell has destroyed this family's life. Please assist in exposing their violations of law, the violations of parents rights, and the violation of the First Amendment. We need to root out the corruption rampant in Arizona's Maricopa County Superior Court, Family Law.

We're petitioning Amherst's Town Board to support WNY's food trucks, as they face onerous proposed regulations that would stop them from doing business in Amherst, New York. Public support of the trucks will help the Board make the right decision - to allow them to serve our community, just as they have successfully operated in Buffalo.

the Monsanto Corporation is using its financial tools to force Whole Foods to buy its products. Many of us depend on stores such as Whole Foods for organic and otherwise safe foods without preservatives or additives. It's time to take a stand against this powerful organization and get it out of our grocery stores!

If a couple gets married and it doesnt work out then there is no since in them being forced to stay together. The way things are is just fine, lets stop irritating people. To make them wait two years to get Divorce is ridiculous, whose the Idiot that thought of that?

Almost six years ago, my daughter Emily was in French class at Virginia Tech when a gunman opened fire, killing her teacher and 11 of her friends and classmates. Emily was shot twice in the back of the head, but survived. Last December, after a gunman shot and killed 26 children and faculty members at Sandy Hook Elementary School, politician after politician promised this time would be different and we'd actually pass meaningful legislation to help stop these senseless acts. But now all that's in danger of slipping away--because a group of Senate Democrats are possibly wavering in support of common sense measures like universal background checks and a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. Enough! How many more mothers must suffer what I went through and the paralyzing grief the mothers in Newtown and across our country continue to suffer every day?

As you read this, eight senators--all men--are writing an immigration reform bill. That's good--we need a bill introduced immediately. But we need to make sure it is fair to women and includes the millions of immigrant women and children in this country. Email the “Gang of Eight” senators today and tell them that even if no women participated in drafting it, the bill they introduce must do right by women. It’s a simple message: immigration reform MUST create a pathway to citizenship and MUST treat women fairly. Here are some of the ways a new immigration reform bill could make things worse for women and families: Tying a path to citizenship to proof of work, leaving out stay-at-home moms or women who perform domestic work in the paperless economy. Failing to provide safe ways for victims of domestic or workplace abuse to report these crimes. Increasing work visas, which overwhelmingly go to men, while providing fewer family visas, which overwhelmingly go to women. Leaving the backlog of 4.3 million family members, mostly women and children, waiting for decades to be reunited with those currently in the United States and closing off certain types of family immigration altogether. The Gang of Eight legislation will set the conversation moving forward. Unless we make our voices heard, this bill could include provisions that bias the law against women and children. Email the “Gang of Eight” senators today. Then tell your friends to join you.

The pace of gun violence that continues in the U.S. is tragic and disgraceful. The dead, wounded, and grieving deserve action, not political posturing. Universal background checks and regulating the size of gun magazines are reasonable, constitutional measures that a large majority of voters support.
