Employers have to give employees a 2 week notice before terminating employment, unless the termination of is the fault of the employee. E.g. of theft, harassment, or other offenses. It is common practice for an employee to give a 2 week notice before resigning or ending employment, in order to protect the equal right of the employee, employers should have to give at least 2 weeks employment ending notice as well. Personally I think it should be more than 2 weeks notice an employer has to give since it is more difficult to find a place of employment than it is to find employees.

California, now Washington... Oregon has often been a leader in forward thinking and social progress. Why are we now falling behind? Please sign to join me in telling our elected leaders that we want same sex marriage. We want all of our citizens to share the same rights. We want all people to be able to express their love, have the same tax advantages, and be able to visit their partner's in the hospital when they are sick... and more. Do the right thing!

Social Security has NOTHING to do with balancing the Budget. We pay for SS ourselves.Republicans in the Congress are going to try to hold America hostage during the "fiscal cliff" and debt ceiling talks to get cuts to "entitlements , like social security and medicare.. The vast majority of Americans do not want this. NO TAMPERING WITH Social Security.

The "Fiscal Cliff" was created by Congress to force them to negotiate. It hasn't worked, but now it's threatening world markets.

This election was the most atrocious attempt at power grabbing ever attempted in the United States. Citizen's United can only be changed at the Federal level

I am a concerned citizen that is tired of the millionaire and billionaire CEO's complaining about giving back to the people that helped them get there. Give back to them in the way of wages and benefits.

My wife was thinking she was doing something good for her body and baby, started taking Nature Made's prenatal vitamins on a daily basis 3 months before she became pregnant. After our son was born she continued to take them while nursing him for a year. Preparing for our second child, she just recently discovered that Wholefoods and Mother's market didn't carry it and she was told to look at the ingredients. She didn't realize that it contained artificial and unsafe ingredients that have been linked to brain development birth defects, ADHD, and forms of cancer; including leukemia. The ingredients Red 40 (dye), Yellow 6 (dye), Blue 1 (dye) are unecessarily placed into this prenatal vitamin have been scientifically linked to ADHD. It also contains DHA from an unknown source. Which brings into question the amount of mercury, lead, pesticides and other potentially harmful contaminants typically found in unsourced fish oil. The fact that it's unsourced is a red flag since Nature Made has made two fish oil products that are under scrutiny (lawsuit) for containing the highest amounts of PCBs which cause birth defects, which makes little sense in a pre-natal vitamin. We're calling for Costco to stop selling Nature Made products and for Nature Made to be forced to stop putting poison in their pre-natal vitamins.

Save the historic salmon DBS steelhead runs in Walnut Creek and feeder streams from habitat degradation and fish and game refusal to manage run sustainably.

San Juan county just became the first in our state to become GMO free. Farmers united with locals to make it so. If we do not protect the integrity of our farms, we cannot insure the safety of our children's futures. GMO's are a corporate intrusion we cannot afford. Let's make Skagit County the second GMO free county!

Donald Trump is a divisive public figure who has engaged in some of the most appalling behavior toward a sitting President ever. I feel that because he has been given air time to voice his beliefs, it is time for the people to voice ours.

The word gypsy is being currently used to market gitems to a vast majority of people. Who have no idea who gypsies are, and the current oppression they face in the world. The romanticized view of the romani people needs to stop, people need to know we are not a fantasy or fairy tale. We are real people, and it is wrong to use us to make money. It is also wrong to ignore the racism and hatred towards romani people, by hiding it with a fantasized view of the people.

KPOJ, Oregon's progressive talk radio, was suddenly shut down by Clear Channel without notice over the weekend. Clear Channel is owned by Bain Capital. KPOJ was the only station with a signal strong enough to hear Thom Hartman, Carl Wolfson, and shows like Ring of Fire. The station fired Portlander Carl Wolfson without notice. The radio format turned instantly to sports. Please tell Clear Channel that you will not stand for suppressing alternative viewpoints, and to reinstate the progressive format immediately.
