• Tell Ancestry.com Their Commercial Is Offensive to Black Americans
    Ancestry.com created a commercial where a man says "I was afraid as an African American, I knew where my family history might end up...my grandfather was born a slave but died a business man." The implication here is that ancestors of slaves should be embarrassed of this history. (Watch commercial here: http://youtu.be/WQQ9gjBby10). This commercial is insensitive, and the implication that anyone should be ashamed of their families' past is unacceptable. Slavery, poverty and struggle are a part of our history as Americans. Ancestry.com needs to pull this commercial from the air. This method of marketing is offensive.

  • Stop ALL Adoptions Within Utah
    Utah adoption laws are harmful to the rights of fathers. In a recent case of Terry Achane, it took him nearly 3 years to have his child returned to him after his now ex-wife, Tira Bland, illegally put Teleah Achane up for adoption. Other fathers have similar stories. Tragedies like this, perpetrated by people of poor character, must be stopped.

  • Preserve Ohio's University Regional Campuses
    Ohio Gov. John Kasich's imposition of a corporate model onto public education has found a new target in his proposals regarding college and university funding. Chief among the problems is the elimination of separate funding for the university regional campuses that would undermine their open-access mission and thus close the path to the middle class for many Ohioans . This petition was started by a large group of regional campus faculty from around the state who want to preserve the important role out institutions play in the state's higher education system.

  • Make the NYC Subway System Safer by Bringing Back Service Booths
    People are dying in the subways, and what does the MTA do? Remove service booths and agents from the stations. Since the removal of the service booths and agents, crime, particularly vandalism, has been on the rise within the stops, according to DNAinfo.com. More importantly, these stops are overcrowded and, as a result, people have tripped or been pushed onto the tracks. Without service agents to alert oncoming trains, people have been tragically hit and killed; 55 deaths on New York City subway tracks last year.

  • Support Senate Bill S.55
    The State of Vermont currently hands over much of its funds to big out of state banks and Wall St. for safekeeping. Many of us believe that keeping our money in a publicly owned state bank would be a much less risky way to keep public moneys. A state partnership bank would partner with local community banks to help grow the economy of Vermont in ways that would better benefit all Vermonters. S.55 would set up a task force to examine the most efficient ways of managing state funds which is a necessary step on the path to creating a Vermont Partnership Bank.
