• CONGRESS-Work for the whole country
    The GOP has spent the last 4 years trying to "insure this was a one term President". In the process they have damaged the country by trying to end the Safety Net, and the people and the economy have been hurt. The Dems won the election.

  • Don't Let Seattle Lose Progressive Radio!
    It was just announced that AM 1090 will drop progressive talk and switch to an all sports format after the first of the year. Progressive radio listeners in the greater Seattle area are appalled at the prospect of losing the great progressive radio shows hosted by Ed Shultz, Thom Hartmann, Norman Goldman, Randi Rhodes, Stephanie Miller and others. Please join us in letting AM 1090's advertisers know that we, their customers, want progressive voices be heard! We need AM 1090 to stay progressive...or for another local station to take its place as Seattle's progressive voice.

  • Peace Agreement in Israel and Palestinian Territories
    The recent heartbreaking Israel/Gaza conflict reminds us of the urgent necessity to use our influence as Americans to support the rights of all civilians to live in peace. Too often we take the side as activists of one or the other, instead of taking the side of a peace that respects both. NGOs such as Combatants for Peace, Bereaved Families Forum, and Jerusalem Peacemakers need us to push our government to support coexistence.

  • LET THE "BUSH" TAX CUTS FOR THE "RICH" EXPIRE ON 12-31-12!
    We're losing about $1-TRILLION (over the next few years) by allowing those making MORE than $250,000/year continue to enjoy abnormally LOW tax rates. Restore their rates that were ALREADY in place at the beginning of George W. Bush's 1st term. It's only "FAIR".

  • Mandatory Publicizing Of Corporate Political Donations
    I am a customer of a wireless phone company that I found out donates large amounts of money to candidates whom I oppose, so I am changing carriers. Nevertheless I do not appreciate them using my business with them in this manner. I believe that corporations making contributions under the umbrealla of Citizens United should have to be very transparent about it - that they should have mandatory requirements to publicize it.

  • Governor Cuomo: Address School Funding Inequity
    Multiple research studies have shown that New York State ranks as one of the very worst of the 50 states in funding fairness. The poorest school districts, both rural and urban, cannot meet the basic educational needs of their students. At the same time, schools in more affluent areas offer extensive programs.

  • Congress reduce your own salary and practice what you preach!
    Congress has made cuts everywhere but their own salary and expense accounts. We need more teachers, firefighters, and help with student loans. Congress should bite the bullet and struggle too if they expect the rest of America to make ends meet on the drastic cuts they want to propose.

  • Term Limits: Congress shouldn't be a lifetime career
    Congress members are becoming life time appointees encouraging corruption and causing them to lose touch with constituents. They would be more likely to remain loyal to their constituency if they had to get a job among them when their term was up

  • Pres. Obama: Start Granting Clemency and Commutations
    President Obama has repeatedly failed to use the clemency and commutations process that is within his power. He has granted clemency more rarely than any modern president. Under Obama an applicants chance of getting his or her sentence commuted is about 1 in 5000. This is the worst record of any modern president. Our judicial system over the past 30 years has become unbalanced to the extreme. Obama's callous disregard of the process of pardons and commutations is a shame. Please sign my petition and make others aware of this issue.
