Washington Township NJ wants to evict it's American Legion post from their home at Grenloch Community Center. 12/18 Update. News reports to the contrary, it seems clear based on negotiations that the Legion post is being forced/pushed/etc to accept a new location which is vastly inferior to the current one. The new location is much smaller and in much worse condition. The township initially promised that the poor condition of the new facility would be corrected, then changed their minds, (saying for example they would would only patch up the roof, when in fact the building needs thousands of dollars of additional repairs.) The new location is in such a sad state that it's even possible it could eventually be declared condemned, leaving the Legion homeless. This is how Washington Township treats it's Veterans. It's time to stand up and declare that this is wrong, that vets DO matter, and that we should be holding our vets up (instead of kicking them to the curb whenever it saves us a couple bucks.)

Do you think that John Boehner should be voted For Speaker Of The House? Yes No

Just as a jury needs the whole truth and nothing but the truth to make a fair judgment about a defendant's innocence or guilt, voters need the whole truth and nothing but the truth to decide whom to vote for. Lies inhibit voters from making good choices. If truth be told, Obama would not have been hated by so many, more would have been accomplished, and our economy would be in better shape now.

I raised my Granddaughter from birth, and was working on my Masters Degreee. I had never been in trouble with the law. Child's mother signed her rights away to avoid a drug test, and CPS came into Private Christian School and removed Haley and threw her into Orphan adoption. I found CPS policy Procedure Law 1230 enacted 4 months before Haley was taken, CPS testified under oath that there was no 'eminent danger' ...testified they took her "Because they werent sure I would take her to her follow up appointment at the dentist." This deposition is Public Record. I wrote to State authorities about the Court proceedings, and the Judge was so angry at me for standing up to him that he adopted Haley out to strangers. I raised her for 6 + years, and some strangers decided that she would forget me if they cut off all contact with her and I. There was no eminent danger, no charges. In addition to Repealing the Mondale Act, we need CPS reform. Thank you for listening. Katie Caldwell

I had a previous civil case in Superior Court in South Bend, Indiana regarding a large financial investment I made with a business owner in this state. On May 12, 2010 my Attorney, Rod Sniadecki, was disbarred just before I was to seek a judgement. Due to the action of the disbarrment, the amount of time it took to retrieve my case file from another attorney, and the Client's Financial Assistance Fund in Indianapolis, Indiana to evaluate my application and relay their decision that I had been denied assistance, took me past the Statue of Limitations; therefore; ruining my civil case. This should never happen to another citizen because of the incompetence to act in a timely manner and follow up accordingly. I have been personally affected by this financially and emotionally. Through no fault of my own I have dealt with this mess for years! I was just told recently by a local attorney that I have no legal recourse. No one has to be accountable? This is absurd. Where is the justice? This kind of negligence by the court system and the other parties involved is unacceptable. This must be addressed and stopped before this happens to another innocent victim of this community!

This petition is about moving the country forward with innovative, motivated and capable leaders. John Boehner is not innovative, creative, motivated or a good leader. He needs to go and the House needs to elect a leader who will move the country forward. The American people are tired of his scowling face, his inability to get anything done, his lack of leadership and being owned by special interest groups. Boehner is an embarrassment to our country.

So few textbooks are available as eTextbooks, and fewer still are available for purchase by students. In the new digital age, with the rising cost of living and college, students deserve a lower cost alternative to heavy and resource exhausting college books that utilize the high tech equipment we all rely on.

The whole world and this country has been extremely effected by the actions of the greedy Wall street thieves that cause our depression. We cannot let them get away with what they have done to million with their greed. The world is suffering and watching to see how strong we are.

social security should be taxed dollar for dollar not stop at a low amount

Simply put, to stop the change of time twice yearly. Stop observing Daylight Savings time. It serves no purpose other than as an irritant.

Republicans in Congress are abusing the filibuster to obstruct the work of Democrats and throw a wrench in the works of government. We need to take this tool away from them so our elected officials can do the jobs they were elected to do!

My sister is the widow of a Vietnam veteran. We recently applied for VA Widows Pension Benefits for her. My sister is 100% disabled from Fibromyalgia and COPD. Her daily pain level is excruciating even when she is not having a flare-up. She uses a walker. She is unable to afford the full cost of her Assisted Living situation, not to mention her medical co-pays and prescription costs. She is at high risk of becoming homeless. Many veteran's widows are in the same situation. "According to the most recent VA data, there are nearly 75,000 pension claims pending across the country. Almost half of them have been pending for longer than four months. Too few workers trying to process too many claims in too little time. The pressure to work swiftly despite a complex system of benefits and rules, along with outdated or trouble-prone technology, has made human and computer errors all too common, the workers say. Also workers give out inaccurate or misleading information to applicants making the process even more confusing, complicated and time consuming." (Paraphrased NYT Times September 2012 and other articles.) People like my sister are suffering, dying, and becoming homeless, because the VA Widows Pension Benefits Department is not properly staffed, trained, or given the proper technology to process claims in a timely manner. It's a national scandal and disgrace. Our veterans gave their life energy and their lives to defend our country, thinking that their loved ones would be cared for after they were gone. This situation is unconscionable. Please sign to support my sister Lucy, and all the other widows eligible for VA Widow's Pension Benefits.
