I am a 71 year old disabled senior woman who was illegally evicted 10/2010 from my apt at 1000 S. Glendora Ave, Glendora, CA. I became homeless and lived in tents in campgrounds in the mountains for over two years. I lost my city rental subsidy for three years while I fought the illegal eviction and finally won in the appeals court 4/23/12 The 3 judges ruled my apt and city rental subsidy be reinstated. On 11/18/12 the city of Glendora gave me a Federal Tenant Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) subsidy with a notice it will end 6/30/13 which means I will again be homeless and have to move back to the campgrounds and live in tents. I am not alone, the city is ending the TBRA rental subsidies for 63 households 6/30/13 and many of them will be homeless. I am asking for an investigation of the city council, Affordable Housing Agency for misappropriation of city, state and federal money (funds) as far back as 2004. Please sign my petition asking the President and Governor to order a thorough investigation of the City of Glendora for misappropriation of city, state and federal money?

You should be concerned about this issue because this bill is an unfair and outrageous gift to the off-road vehicle (ORV) lobby. The bill would abolish the National Park Service's Final Rule to manage ORV use on Cape Hatteras National Seashore. In the one year of management under the Final Rule, visitation to the Seashore increased, tourism set record highs, and wildlife in the Seashore continued to rebound. The Final Rule is fairer to all parties than the Interim Rule; the public process informing the National Park Service’s Final Rule management plan included numerous public meetings and a negotiated rulemaking process that included opportunities for public comment. Most of the over 20,000 comments received supported even more stringent restrictions than those included in the Final Rule. This bill could threaten to overturn reasonable restrictions on ORV use that protect wildlife, landscapes, and people in other National Parks and Seashores because it would set a precedent. To read more about wildlife in the seashore and how opponents of unrestricted ORV use have been threatened, see: http://www.audubonmagazine.org/articles/conservation/battle-over-north-carolina-beach-continues

THE MARKET FOR THEIR LATEST LINE IS 9-YEAR-OLDS. "The new brand, called “Bright Young Things,” includes lace black cheeksters with the word “Wild” emblazoned on it, green and white polka-dot hipsters screen printed with “Feeling Lucky?” and a lace trim thong with the words, “Call me” on the front." Why do the undergarments have to be so sexually charged? Why can't they just be pretty? The pressure on girls to grow up and be sexy/sexual has never been stronger, and the levels of incest and pedophilia have never been higher. Sexy lingerie belongs on women who are aware of the implication of wearing them, not on young girls who just want to "fit in" and be trendy.

On March 25, 2013, workers at the Renaissance Providence Hotel announced their demands that the hotel improve its appalling working conditions, give them a voice on the job, and honor a fair process for union organizing. Workers say they've always suffered under poor conditions at the hotel, but that things have gotten much worse since the Procaccianti Group took over the property in December 2012. Now the workers have spoken: enough is enough. Please sign on to support the the workers' fight. This petition will be delivered to the Renaissance Providence's management in a future delegation.

If the new law banning arcades is passed it will not only cause more senior isolation and less enjoyment for the seniors it will take away the free meals offered. Please help keep the seniors in their own neighborhoods.

Comprehensive immigration reform should include basic elements that provide not only an earned pathway to citizenship with full rights in a reasonable time frame, but it should also end practices that separates families, cease programs such as 287(g) and “Secure Communities” that result in racial profiling, offer the promise and opportunity of this nation for those who were brought to the country as minors, end the use of excessively high fines to exclude applicants, and correct the problems with work visa quotas for low and high-skilled workers in order to help meet the needs of business as well as other measures recommended by The Committee for Immediate Comprehensive Immigration Reform, which can be found on their website at http://ucanfixitnow.org/index.php/about/basic-requirements.

Did you know that members of the military are required to pass a background check before they're allowed to join the service? The U.S. Senate is getting ready to vote on universal background checks and despite the fact that 92% of Americans support the measure, its passage remains in doubt. I had to pass a background check to carry a weapon in Iraq, and we should require the same of people who want to carry one at home. We only have a few days to demonstrate the overwhelming support this issue enjoys. Thousands of veterans with VoteVets.org have already signed a petition on this issue. Will you add your name to theirs today? We'll have a veteran deliver your message to the U.S. Senate before the vote.

South DeKalb County GA Veterans are underserved and in need of a local Vet Center. Let us locally serve those who have served.

It's past time to fix our broken gun laws.

In a recent report published by the Southern Poverty Law Center and Alabama Appleseed Center for Law and Justice over 300 poultry workers and past workers interviewed had suffered some type of significant work-related injury or illness because of punishing processing line speeds of up to 150 birds per minute. Now the USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service wants to raise the speeds!
