• Stop Media Support of Rape Culture
    Poppy Harlow from CNN should be fired for her sympathy towards the Steubenville RAPISTS and disregard for the victim. Rapists are not victims. CNN's portrayal of the Steubenville conviction encourages the already prevalent tendency of this country to blame the victim for both the assault and for "ruining" the criminal's life.

  • no budget no pay
    It is time for the American public to make a stand against the stalemate that has been created in Washington. It is a lack of communication, cooperation and leadership that has brought about the chaos that exists in Washington today. It is the President, House of Representatives and the Senates responsibility to create a budget. They have not done so. If it can happen now it can happen in the future. We owe it to our children, and our grandchildren to stop this maddness and hold them accountable.

  • Support a "Rule of Ninety" Retirement clause
    State workers in the current retirement system have to work until age 65 before receiving their pension, regardless of their years of service. (This bill allows workers as young as 55 to retire, but they would have to have at least 35 years of service.)

  • Reinstate Even Start
    Families across NYS lost pre-school and adult literacy education when Even Start was cut. Without Even Start, families with parents getting their GEDs and children learning to read and write in a quality pre-school classroom environment have come to a standstill. There is no preschool, parents can't get to parent-teacher or special ed conferences at their regular schools, and the parents still do not have their GEDs.

  • Save Our Post Office Iowa
    Our goal is to save the U.S. Postal Service from drastic cuts in service. We want the postal service to cease closing mail processing plants. We want the postal service to continue 6 day delivery and we want the postal service to stop closing post offices and cutting retail operating hours. Our goal is to see the dramatic pre payments into retirement accounts to stop and be returned to the postal service. We are proud of our postal network in Iowa and want to keep it the way it is.

  • College Tuition Loan Debt
    College students graduating by the hundreds and no jobs, or jobs paying below what their degrees dictate. So they are faced with either having no job or taking what they can get in order to live, but still not enough to pay for cost of living and tuition payments. I am being affected by this right now. My daughter has college debt that I don't know how we will pay it. I have been laid-off for 4/5 years now. I am not able to help her. I understand may other college students are in the same predicament. I understand it has been referred to as another Mortgage Crisis (yet is is College Debt Crisis)

  • Let my people live: Male? Female? You tell me
    The laws currently written in the state of Tennessee state that with or without surgery, the gender on your birth certificate cannot be changed. That is wrong. No one should have to go through life being labeled something they aren't.

  • CNN Should Apologize for Sympathizing With Steubenville Rapists
    On Sunday, March 17, 2013, CNN broke the news that the Trent Mays and Ma’lik Richmond had been found guilty of the rape of a 16 year old unconscious girl. Rather than celebrating the fact that justice had been served, CNN then spent the next six minutes lamenting the fact that these boys' lives were ruined. CNN was perpetuating our society's rape culture by sympathizing with rapists rather than the victim. See the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=MvUdyNko8LQ#!
