In Youngstown, Ohio, the St. Vincent DePaul Society runs a soup kitchen that serves hungry children and families in the community. Mitt Romney recently sent his VP nominee, Paul Ryan, to the soup kitchen for a 15-minute “service” photo op of him washing pans without obtaining proper permission. The publicity stunt was designed to send a political message -- and it did. Angered by the soup kitchen’s use in a political campaign, many of its donors have withdrawn their financial support. Moreover, the soup kitchen’s volunteers are now getting harassed by Romney-Ryan supporters. New donors have stepped up to offset some of the losses (info on making a donation is below), but it should be Mitt Romney who takes responsibility. It’s time for him to pay up and show the soup kitchen the money – not his apology. He needs to make the soup kitchen financially whole, so its volunteers can continue to serve the families of Ohio.

Box 224 Youngstown, Ohio 44501 To send a copy of the petition language directly to the Romney campaign, you can email [email protected] and [email protected].

The devastation in the wake of Superstorm Sandy focuses attention on the necessity of federal disaster aid. State and local governments would never be able to absorb the entire cost of clean up and the rebuilding of infrastructure that will be required for those in the path of this historic storm. Lawmakers such as Congressman Ryan who put political expediency ahead of victims of natural disasters need to rethink their priorities.

We have lawmakers without the most basic understandings of science itself who are serving on our Congressional Committee on Science. How can we ever scientifically advance as a country with legislators like this?

Emergency Founding should always be available; we have to make sure the Insurance Industry pays there share as well.
