I live in FL and my husband is a veteran. I want FL Senator Marco Rubio to explain why he voted against a jobs program for veterans.

Folks in Iowa are outraged that Senator Charles Grassley voted to block a billion-dollar veteran jobs program and want him to explain why he abandoned our veterans despite their high rate of unemployment and homelessness.

Big Money is drowning out the real issues that need to be considered in choosing the best representatives in the election season. Public financing of all campaigns from the city councilor to the president of the US is the only way to keep money out of politics. Candidates should be only receiving the public funds and any private funds should disqualify the candidate.

It is absolutely unacceptable that Jase Bolger be allowed to continue in his role as Speaker of the Michigan House of Representatives. Bolger’s ability to lead and his judgement have been called into question by his constituents, Michigan’s newspapers, and even his colleagues in the House.

Peace from here on out.

Start a class action lawsuit against Karl Rove and the Republican machine to stop voter suppression. We need to have and army of lawyers stand up and work pro-bono to shut down the fascist attack on our democracy.

Obama you promised to back "GMO labeling on foods" What happened to that promise you made?

My husband, Cesar Chavez, and I made the decision to move back to Delano to begin organizing the United Farm Workers in 1962. Dolores Huerta and other leaders soon joined us. Then thousands more came to work with our movement. And millions of good people across North America supported us by boycotting grapes and other products. All these years, I chose to stay in the background. I walked picket lines, managed our credit union, and took care of our eight children. Cesar respected my privacy. I never spoke in public or did an interview with a reporter. But I’m speaking out now. Back in 1962, farm workers were treated as though we were agricultural tools. One grower called us “rented slaves.” Working in the fields, I remember we were called “wetbacks,” “dirty Mexicans”—and worse. It was common then in parts of our country for African Americans to also be degraded by those who called them the “n” word or used stereotypes because of their skin color or who they were. Our movement gave, and still gives, hope and pride to farm workers and millions of other people who never worked on a farm. Today, farm workers and many other immigrants still do important work other American workers won’t do, for low pay, and miserable conditions. We harvest the greatest bounty of food in the world. We spend our lives laboring in service jobs where we make beds, clean rooms, cook meals, and care for the young and the elderly. We work in construction and manufacturing. We serve our country in the military. But instead of thanking all these workers for their important work, they are often called names—like illegal immigrant. That’s not right. It is no longer acceptable to call people names or use stereotypes because of skin color or who people are. Why should we tolerate farm workers and other Latinos being treated this way? Some day not long from now people will look back and ask, “How could people call other people names like illegal?”

I have young male customers intersted in learning the barber trade and they often ask me how they can get started in the industry.Well they offer cosmetology to students here in Anne Arundel County but not barbering. We support and have employeed young girls from the program over the years. However, my concern is for the young men who want to be barbers. They have to wait to attend a barber school after high school whereas the girls have cosmetology training throughout high school and graduate high school as liscensed cosmotoligists. I think it is unfair and as a business owner could benefit from having a pool of young energetic barbers to choose from when necesarry.

The livelihoods of thousands of Kansans is impacted by the wind industry. We are citizens, landowners, construction workers, business owners, teachers and others from all across the state who have benefited from local wind energy projects. Kansans know that a job is a job is a job, and that ANY project that brings jobs to our state as well economic security and a brighter future for our communities, deserves support. Please join, the Climate + Energy Project, the Wind Coalition and KS Interfaith Power and Light, along with thousands of Kansans, in asking Congressmen Huelskamp, Pompeo, Yoder and Congresswoman Jenkins, to please join Governor Brownback, Senators Moran and Roberts in supporting extension of the PTC.

It's outrageous that mainstream media is not reporting on the filibuster of the Veteran's Jobs Corp bill. This is a perfect example of what is wrong with our corporate owned media.
