CUNY child care programs serve over 1400 student parents and their children in 18 campus-based centers, and over 75% of these families are identified as being low-income. These families not only receive a high level of quality care and education through the CUNY child care programs, but many student parents receive financial support, provided through public funds, to enroll their children in campus-based centers. Thus the child care assistance enables many student parents find academic success while pursuing their higher degrees. Over the last several years CUNY Child Care has encountered multiple budget cuts, and this year alone we are facing a budget cut totaling $685,000. The loss of this crucial funding makes it difficult to maintain quality care and education each child and family needs, and also puts families at risk for losing access to these essential programs.

Provide monies to a respectable, non-politically influenced, non-governmental laboratory to scientifically research the possibility of a threat to Public Health. The scientific literature demonstrates that the increased failure of antibiotics due to germs found in the water supply indicate such a possible threat to Public health.

The farm worker movement is proud to support a grassroots campaign urging President Obama to posthumously award the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Fred Ross Sr., one of the greatest, although unheralded, community organizers of 20th Century America. Fred Ross was the trailblazing organizer who inspired, trained and mentored Cesar Chavez. In Cesar's words, "Fred did such a good job of explaining how poor people could build power I could taste it." Over a remarkable career spanning seven decades, Fred Ross also inspired, recruited, trained and mentored thousands of Latino, labor, civil rights and community leaders and activists, including Dolores Huerta, Jessica Govea and Gilbert Padilla. During the late 1930s, he ran the federal farm labor camp south of Bakersfield immortalized by John Steinbeck in The Grapes of Wrath. He helped Japanese Americans return home from internment camps during World War II. Beginning in the late 1940s, Fred organized the Community Service Organization (CSO) that elected Edward Roybal as the first Latino Los Angeles city councilmember since the 19th Century and organized East L.A. Latinos to become civic and political activists. Fred and Cesar built CSO into the most militant and effective California and Arizona Latino civil rights group of the 1950s and early '60s. Fred worked for years helping train UFW organizers and boycotters across the country. Fred Ross Sr. joined his son, Fred Ross Jr., in the 1980s to train a new generation of organizers to challenge U.S. support for the contra rebels in Nicaragua and to wage an international boycott of Salvadoran coffee. Cesar once said, “Fred Ross gave me and so many others a chance, and that led to a lot of things.” President Obama said Cesar Chavez inspired him to go to Chicago to become a community organizer in 1985. But it was Fred Ross who inspired and trained Cesar to become a community organizer in 1952. Now is the time for President Obama to recognize the enduring contributions to our country of Fred Ross. Please sign the petition appealing to President Obama to award Fred Ross the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Save Six-day Delivery, the Postal Service and 80,000 jobs. Because our economy cannot afford anything else.

The rising cost of a place to live has made me almost homeless. Together let us think of a way for everyone to have a home. We can build our own shelter on vacant land. We can remodel buildings that are empty. We can transform tax money into service for each other. By sharing the resources we each have, we can create a home and a job for us all.

The community of Ulster County has been corrupted by Dirty Cops with illegal tactics and racial profiling, as well as a Judgde who has been sentenceing minorities with non-violent offences excessively.

This iss wrong an injust.

Tea Party House Republican's direspect and lack of decorum for President Obama; for the Office of the President; for the democratic process; and for America is an assault on all of our civil-rights.
