  • Federal Waiver to Pass Universal Health Care
    Everyone in California should be concerned about the direction Health Care is heading. BCBS has a stronghold on this state and dictates the rates and services offered.

  • industrial hemp production in Washington
    The federal government has classified industrial hemp as a nacrcotic in schedule 1 along with cocaine and heroin, even though hemp is not a drug at all.. Remember the government film "Hemp for victory" (in 1943)? Hemp has over 300,000 uses. It can be used as food, fuel and fiber. We currently import hemp from Canada (which grows some 550,000 acres of hemp). Hemp is arguably the most useful plant on the planet, and the people of Washington state have a God given right to grow it. Free the people from this unjust legislation. Hemp for victory 2013!

  • Congress: save the army's tuition assistance program
    I am a full time student and I am being affected by this erratic gesture whereby the army tuition assistance is being cut off. Me and thousands of my comrades are strongly being affected by this budget cut. Education is not something that should be cut and this should be stopped.

  • 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.)

  • Corporate vs. Social Welfare
    MPN (Mint News Press), Trisha Marczak. Please read this piece from Ms. Marcak and get this information out to anyone in the press or others since this is such a timely subject. People should know that Corporate welfare in 2007 was more than $90 billion. Social welfare programs were $59 billion. Show the citizens why Paul Ryan's budget is a sham.

  • 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.
