• High Copays
    The New York Physical Therapy Association (NYPTA) is calling on the state legislature to stop insurance companies from requiring patients to pay the higher “specialist" copay for physical therapy services. Some patients are paying as much as $50 per visit while their insurance may only pay $10, or even nothing at all. High “specialist” copays put physical therapy out of the financial reach of many patients, forcing them to forgo needed care or choose alternative options that drive up the cost of health care for everyone.

  • Stop Cluster Housing in Bethany
    This zoning change, if enacted, will raise taxes, spoil the education system and turn Bethany into a city. In Bethany we enjoy the rural character, the peace, the dark nights and the quiet almost entirely because of Bethany’s strict zoning regulations. If this development is allowed to proceed, subsequent proposals, as large or larger, would be right behind. Dense development will tax the water supply and likely pollute it. NO CLUSTER HOUSING IN BETHANY!!

  • NC DOT Secretary Anthony Tata: Don't discriminate against non-citizens in North Carolina with pin...
    Beginning on March 25, the North Carolina DMV will begin issuing pink drivers licenses to non-citizens. Who gets them? Deferred action recipients, those under temporary protected status, legal permanent residents, and anyone else in North Carolina, according to the state's Department of Transportation spokesperson, that doesn't have the right to vote. This is discrimination and we're fighting against it.

  • Cancel the Sequester! Protect Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid
    On March 1, a series of self-imposed, unfocused cuts will impact a wide array of government agencies and services, from the Social Security Administration to national security to education. This wrongheaded and indiscriminate use of the austerity ax will harm the economy, the public, and the future capacity of the government. It will undermine the growth of the economy.

  • HPNAP FUNDING AT RISK
    On January 22 Govenor Cuomo proposed a decrease in funding and a major restructuring of NYS Heath and Anti-hunger programs. Cuomo has proposed a $13 million overall cut, which would remove the Hunger Prevention and Nutrition Assistance Program (HPNAP). This would result in a decrease to ALL emergency food cupboards/agencies. HPNAP Is a crucial source of food and funds for thousands of food pantries, soup kitchens and SHELTERS across the state. Most Emergency Food Pantries won't be able to sustain enough food and NYS produce to provide for their communities if this proposal isn't stopped. Maybe your community is doing well financially and this isn't as urgent for them, but please take the time and sign for the communities and families that need these programs to survive.

  • Teachers Retirement Discrimination
    When the vote was taken in 2008 to allow BOE employees to transfer out of the TDC (Teachers Defined Contribution) to the old Teachers Defined Benefits there were several people in WV who did not understand what was going on or who were off sick and did not vote. Those employees are forever stuck in a plan that is not equal to those who transferred and to all new employee being hired. Those locked in the TDC plan will never accumulate enough money to be able to retire. I personally one of those who does not have enough to retire on in the TDC plan, but if I could tranfer to the TRS I would be entitled to 36% of my current salary for the rest of my life......so unfair. Please correct this injustice to Teachers and Service personnel

  • Tell Your Senators to Confirm Richard Cordray and Let the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Do...
    "Never before in American history has a minority in the Senate blocked a nominee to try to get changes in a law they don't like and don't have the votes to change.” - Senator Elizabeth Warren. She's talking about the 43 Senators who have threatened to block Rich Cordray's re-nomination as director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. They don’t question his qualifications or his performance up to now; their grievance is with the CFPB itself. They want changes that would undermine its funding, independence, and effectiveness before they will allow a vote on Cordray or any other nominee for the post.

  • Make Women's Equality a Reality in New York!
    New York is the birthplace of women's rights. Yet 165 years later, the dreams of the Seneca Falls Convention remain out of reach for millions of mothers, daughters and sisters in our state. Women earn $11,000 less, on average, then their male counterparts, and are twice as likely to become single parents living in poverty. It is time for New York to lead again! Governor Cuomo has issued a clarion call for equality: Equal Work. Equal Pay. Equal Choice. Equal Chance. Equal Rights. His 10-point Women’s Equality Agenda proposes to make fairness a reality for the women of New York. It addresses a wide array of barriers facing women, including restrictions on access to reproductive health care; income inequality; discrimination based on pregnancy and family status, source of income, and domestic violence; and the practice of human trafficking, among others. Let's make it the law. For more information about the Women’s Equality Agenda, and to view a video clip from Governor Cuomo’s speech outlining his proposals, visit www.abetterbalance.org.
