• Senator Durbin do not sell us out!
    I am a physician and my husband is a lawyer. We have been blessed with good jobs. However, we know that all Americans are not so lucky. I have nephews and nieces who work very hard and barely can make their payments each month. We must maintain our social safety net. There is more to life and humanity than making millions.

  • Preserve "copper" phone service
    After Sandy, hundreds thousands of people whose phone service is dependent on digital fiber-optic cables powered by electricity were cut off, and many cell phone towers were not functional, yet Verizon and AT & T are determined to stop offering and servicing the older, but more reliable "copper" service which has its own power source and is less likely to be affected by storms. Being without phone service poses a serious health and safety risk. The phone companies are public utilities whose priority should be to serve the public and not merely to enhance their already huge profits.

  • Save Medicare without raising eligibility age
    Republicans want to raise the eligibility age for Medicare. Reducing eligibility for Medicare is a step in the wrong direction, moving away from universal health care. We can continue providing quality health care for all eligible seniors for decades to come by merely raising the Medicare tax from 1.45% of earnings to 2%. This tiny tax increase (about $250 per year for the median American family) will increase the resources of the Medicare program by 1/3.

  • Recogntion of Palestine
    The newly internationally recognized state of Palestine should be both recognized and supported as the free self determination of a people as part of the ongoing peace process in the Middle East. We ask President Obama to formally recognize Palestine and to offer them economic and other supports equal to that which we give to their neighboring states so as to promote economic development, stablize the region and promote democracy and justice.
