WE ARE ALL AFFECTED BY THE GUN LOBBY'S INSANE PURSUIT OF PROFITS

In 2006 President Bush signed into law the requirement that the postal service was required to prefund retiree health benefits 75 years into the future to the tune of 5.5 billion annually for 10 years. Before this bill became law, the postal service was completely solvent and completely self-sufficient with no taxpayer support.

Here's the deal. Since the GOP likes to talk about America's Debt. How we've conveniently forgot and swept under the rug the debt America owes to the folks who really built this country and their descendents.

This petition will let Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid know that a majority of Americans support the notion that if a Senator opposes a bill or a nomination, that they must stand on the Senate floor and voice their opposition. I have been personally affected by this issue because several bills introduced on the Senate floor (as well as several bills that could not be introduced due to the filibuster) have been blocked by Republican Senators via the filibuster without voicing their opposition to the bill on the Senate floor and engaging in the public debate that the Senate was supposed to facilitate. Such bills include: 1) Employee Free Choice Act; 2) Public Option in healthcare reform; 3) Paycheck Fairness Act; 4) Creating American Jobs and Ending Offshoring Act; 5) American Jobs Act (and the Teachers and First Responders Back to Work Act of 2011); 6) Repeal Big Oil Tax Subsidies Act; 7) DISCLOSE Act; 8) DREAM Act. This does not even include the numerous amount of judicial and federal appointments!

This pledge written by Jason Shulman, Founder, A Society of Souls, and published in the Huff Post on 1/14/2013 deals with the fundamental need for our political representatives to embrace a new humanistic and heartfelt vision, founded on compromise, in order to heal our nation. United we stand, divided we fall!!

On Friday, January 11th, Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett announced plans to sign a contract with a foreign company to privatize the state's lottery. The current lottery, ran by the State of Pennsylvania, gives its profits to programs to help seniors. But under the new plan, a British company would be in charge of the operation and the money it generates. Tell Governor Corbett not to sell out our seniors.

The New York Times, one of the most circulated and widely read news outlets, announced it is dismantling its environmental reporting desk and assigning the 7 reporters and 2 editors to other departments. With all the threats our environment faces, from global warming to dirty oil and gas drilling to the loss of our natural and treasured landscapes, now more than ever we need a strong media presence investigating and reporting on environmental issues. The Times claims this move will not impact its environmental coverage, but that's hard to believe. While these 7 reporters are currently dedicated to environmental issues, after this change takes place, they will be in other departments and writing about other issues. The best way to maintain excellent and timely environmental coverage is for the Times to keep the Environmental desk open and doing the same good work it has been for years.

Kendrick Johnson was brutally beaten to death at Lowndes High School please help the family in seeking answers and justice.

Many public schools in Ohio have no way to prevent someone who may wish to do harm from entering the school buildings. Schools should at a minimum be required to have automatic locking/unlocking mechanisms on the entrance to the building. Where this is not logistically possible, an armed police officer should be stationed at the entrance.

We are poisoning our kids by purchasing almost any type of food with food coloring in it as they are adding harmful artificial colors in everything today. Please stop purchasing and ask FDA to band artificial food coloring in US as it is extremely harmful: Citrus Red 2, Red 3, Red 40, Yellow 5, Yellow 6, Blue 1, Blue 2 and Green 3, — which include some of the most commonly used synthetic food dyes — have been identified as being, or being contaminated with, potential cancer-causing chemicals. We work too hard and we love are kids too much do this to them. Please show your support, please show you care.
