• Tell Sen. Boxer: Edison gambled with the public trust - keep San Onofre reactors offline!
    Senator Barbara Boxer sits on a key Nuclear Regulatory Commission oversight committee. Please urge Senator Boxer to use her oversight authority to ensure that the San Onofre nuclear reactors remain offline until the Nuclear Regulatory Commission completes its investigations. Since January 2012 the San Onofre nuclear reactors have been shutdown. Inspections revealed severe damage to thousands of steam generator tubes -- and now a recently exposed confidential report reveals that the operator, Southern California Edison, knew about significant design problems years before they were installed. Despite this now public revelation, Edison still wants to restart one of the reactors! This report exposes how Edison gambled with the public trust. Tell Barbara Boxer that San Onofre's crippled reactors must remain offline and Edison must be required to go through a License Amendment process with full public participation.

  • Advocating For Those in Need of Advocation!
    As a member of The National Exchange Club a main goal is the Prevention of Child Abuse. With certain budget cuts to in need will be ignored or put in jeopardy. Children are a target of abuse in many scenarios not just in the home. Preventing child abuse must be a priority in our country let alone our state. Many of the state funded programs targeted to help children whether education, housing or nutrition are being sliced and diced. Where there should be more allotment in these areas there are cuts. This is unacceptable. If we do anything in this world, we must protect our children.

  • President Obama -- Stop the Keystone XL Pipeline to Oblivion
    The Canadian Tar Sands are the dirtiest of dirty sources of oil -- and will cost a minimimum of $85/barrel to develope-pipe-and refine. The energy used to make fuel from Tar Sand will be almost as useless a biomass, and corn ethanol. We cannot allow greed and politics to pretent this is good for the economy or the environment. Never mind the pure arrogance of the ongoing construction of the pipeline without formal authorization or technology to refine the mess. Mr. President , please do not approve the Keystone Pipeline

  • End Pension Programs for Elected Officials
    The IL government is attempting to reduce IL's debt by destroying teachers' pension funds after stealing from it for years. Force them to find methods of solving their debt problems without hurting hard working citizens who have devoted their lives to serving IL citizens. Begin by taking away their pension programs if they have not served for at least twenty years.

  • School taxes are out of control
    It is time for the funding of education in Pennsylvania to be done by means other than taxes on real estate. My plans for a worry free retirement in the Poconos of Pennsylvania are at risk.

    Ed Schultz, who is on at 8 P.M. on MSNBC is being moved to Saturdays and Sundays. Ed is a voice for the people and has been in the forefront for working class Americans, of all colors.

Chris is a bright young man but people in the 40-70 age bracket will not find a commonality with Chris Hayes. Join with us and get Ed Schultz back.
