A.L.E.C has exerted influence on local lawmakers without knowledge and acceptance by the public .A.L.E.C presents "model laws" with a right wing agenda that often translate directly into legislation. Officials attending these conferences without public knowledge and accountability violate our democracy.

I used to be able to go to my math classroom before class and ask my teacher for help on problems I didn't understand. Now, I will be forced to sit in first/second period, wasting time, while the teacher works with those few who need help. The new TAP Intervention schedule is a complete failure, and the only solution is to revert to the original configuration.

"Incarceration due to drug addiction and the distribution of such ,has affected my father, mother, aunts, uncles, grandparents, brothers, sisters, friends and most of all the community from which i was raised. I have watched 95% of my generation perish in this 30yr "War on Drugs" Rehabilitation, Education and Employment should be our top priority, and this war on drugs should be stopped. Will you help me help you are someone you know and love?

We are in need of your assistance. A grave injustice is being served to one of our fellow classmates, Kim Brown. Kim suffered the loss of her baby after having to emergently deliver her at just 21weeks gestation. The baby unfortunately did not make it and the nursing school is attempting to force Kim to retake peds/ob clinical because she missed one week (although there are a built in 2 make up days) and told her not to come to the next week (thus now missing 4 clinical days not by choice). She has been told that she can still continue on for medsurg clinicals and hopefully make up peds/ob this summer if someone in the accelerated program drops out, which so far no one has. We are asking for your signature on the below petition for the school of nursing to allow Kim to make up the clinical days on the built in make up days and also during her medsurg clinical rotation ( she's in pep and will only have to go one day so the other day she can fit in peds/ob). This is very time sensitive so please add your name below if you would like to help fight this injustice and support Kim. Thank you.

For years we have seen corporate interests dominate our nations economy. Elected officials have even signed a pledge of allegiance to anti tax zealot Grover Norquist instead to our country. Signing a pledge of integrity would show the nation who is working for them and who is a slave to Corporate America

In order to better fund drug treatment and prevention, undermine illegal markets, and keep our children and families safe, Rhode Island needs sensible marijuana regulation.

All PERS jobs with salaries at $250,000 and over should not be part of this pension system. If the taxpayers are paying you that can of income, you can surely save for your own retirement and help save PERS for the underpaid employees, such as police, firefighters and teachers.

Why is SignOn so Awesome

Women are now officially authorized to serve in the military's combat zones. This action nullifies the argument made by opponents of the ERA, namely, that passing the ERA, would subject women to combat action.My daughters, sisters,I and this nation's women demand to be acknowledged as having equal rights to men under federal law.

I want to remove all assault weapons from everyone, except the military and police. It is not right that innocent children be killed because someone wants to be macho.

The only purpose for assault weapons are to kill the enemy on the battlefield of war. I ask that you protect our citizens from these weapons of destruction.
