Iowa based Fareway grocery chain has decided to cut employee hours so they will not have to provide health insurance in compliance with the Affordable Care Act. Fareway has chosen to not make the moral choice and provide health insurance for it's employees.

The petition aims for improved regulation of this so-called "low-income" insurance program administered by NY State under provisions of a 2001 piece of legislation, and to assure that modifications to that law provide the same benefits available to employer-based insurance policies.

Yes, this man is a homophobe and has been involved in campaigns, getting donations from anti gay lobyists, including Chick-fil-A, trying to "change" homosexuals into heterosexuals by indoctrination and brain washing. There are records of sermons, especially "In Search of a Standard-Christian Response to Homosexuality" that were delivered by this pastor and can be easily found on the internet. These spread very quickly via social media, especially TOWERLOAD. I will NOT sit back and watch another Obama inauguration with a benediction given by a known homophobe, as we did in 2008 with Rick Warren. I did not work work my behind off and did not donate thousands of dollars to have Obama re-elected to have this hater deliver the inaugural benediction....IT IS UNNACEPTABLE!!!

Congress is in an incestuous feedback loop, feeding on taxpayer money whenever and wherever they can get their hands on it. The longer they are up there, the better they are at working the system to their benefit. They bribe their constituents back home with ill-gotten gains so they can stay in office until they get sick or die.

Death penalty repeal in Maryland this year has passed the Senate! This means the bill has unprecedented momentum, but the House vote is still expected to be very close. It is likely to happen THIS WEEK, so please take action right now and call on your state Delegates to vote for repeal.

Equal rights for all citizens of the United State.

This is a petition against how apple charges customers tax after the checkout of iTunes and the app store. When you purchase digital product and check out you have to enter a password then a confirmation for the price pops up. However this is not the actual price you are billed. I and millions of others are letting apple charge you tax after your transaction is complete.

Federal unions cannot bargain pay, pensions and healthcare benefits except for postal and ATC unions. This allows unilateral cuts by Uncle Sam - unlike state and local workers such as 2+ yrs of pay freezes.

The gun issue may last a long time. Security Turnstiles would be a great deterant for thows who would inter a school or government building with guns or knives. What if a teacher has flipped out. And deside to harm the children in a school.
