Petition to the state assembly and Governor of New York, requesting support for worker cooperatives and non-profit real estate trusts in low income communities in New York City.

As a constituent of Paul Ryan's I am appalled that he won't even respond to debate requests. Congressman Ryan and his Democratic congressional challenger Rob Zerban present drastically different visions for the future of the country and we deserve the opportunity to hear our candidates debate. Will you stand with me and Wisconsin's 1st Congressional District and demand that Paul Ryan comes back and debates Rob Zerban?

Fair Elections Now! Instead of focusing on their constituents and the important issues of the day, elected officials in Washington spend too much time raising money from wealthy donors and lobbyists – often from the very industries they’re supposed to oversee! It’s time to get our leaders out of the fundraising game and let them do the jobs we’ve elected them to do. The best way to do that is to pass the Fair Elections Now Act. Under such a system, qualified candidates who take no contributions larger than $100 can run for Congress on a blend of small donations and public funds. This bill already has more than 150 cosponsors. If your Representative is one of them, please thank him or her. If your Representative has not yet signed on as a cosponsor, please ask him or her to do so right away! (When you enter your address below, our system will look up the name of your Representative and his/her co-sponsor status.) Take action today!

Scott Van Nuzer, owner of Big Apple Pizza in Ft. Pierce, FL. had a picture of him giving the President a hug go viral. Since then some very hateful people have suggested boycotting Big Apple Pizza and some have even written negative comments about his business on Yelp simply due to his hugging the President. Please show your support for Big Apple Pizza by signing this petiton, ordering his pizza (buycott instead of boycott), and/or writing words of support on Yelp or other business rating sites.

It is time to end inequity in Public Schools. Any child should be allowed to enroll in any public school they have transportation options to and from, regardless of school district, county or state lines.

In 2008, The Supreme Court decided that corporations can use their money to buy political speech during peak campaign seasons. As a result, independent corporate political speech is now protected under the First Amendment. According to the Supreme Court, money becomes speech when corporations use money to speak. This makes corporations entitled to First Amendment free speech protection. Now, according to the Supreme Court, money is speech which makes corporations persons. This tortured and butchered logic underpinned the High Courts ruling in the Citizens United case. Citizens United wanted to use corporate money to air a film critical of Hillary Clinton which would have violated The McCain–Feingold campaign finance reform Act. The Supreme Court overturned the law on First Amendment grounds. The law previously prohibited "electioneering communication" by corporations.

Judge Jaqueline Hatch blamed a victim of sexual harassment for the fact that an off duty policeman assaulted her. The man was convicted of the crime but the judge refused to give him jail time or have him register as a sex offender. All women are victimized when one of us is treated in this way.

In an effort to promote American economic growth and create demand for American made office, maintenance, and construction products, any federal, state, county, and city government entity must buy 60% made in the USA products, with the goal of 90% by 2016.

The new national curriculum is a burden that is wreaking havoc in American public school classrooms. Teachers are being bullied everyday by administrators, legislators and business executives who have no experience in the field of education. Companies like Bain and Walmart are influencing the passing of dangerous laws that restrict the rights and freedom of teachers , and people like Bill Gates are influencing educational policy. Academics have been pushed to the side in favor of technology and testing. In addition, the national curriculum, the child of Bush's No Child Left Behind is further eroding real teaching. Data is now driving instruction and technology use in the classroom is being forced upon students and teachers, although even the American Pediatric Association recognizes the dangers of excessive screen use and recommends no more than two hours of screen time per day. Education is NOT a BUSINESS and should not be run like one. Children and teachers are individuals and this one size, robo-teacher concept is nothing short of frightening. Actual teacher centered classrooms are no longer allowed, and teachers, experienced ones in particular, are being threatened and bullied in classrooms across the country everyday. That teachers have been maligned and demonized in the last several years is sad, but what we are doing to our children is even more so. Public school children, especially minority and poor ones, are being left further and further behind everyday. Please, repeal the national curriculum and kick businesses out of the educational policy debate. Give teachers back their ability to teach. Our futures and those of our children depend upon this. And, please, talk to teachers before making wide sweeping changes in education. I would not know how to do your job, could you do mine? Tomorrow I will go to school and teach King Lear, The Grapes of Wrath and The Great Gatsby to my junior and senior classes. And as I do, I will be thinking in the back of my mind that I could be caught doing so by an administrator. But the fear of what we are doing to our children is stronger even than the fear of reprisal. So I will continue to teach, everyday, until I am allowed to do so openly once again, or until I am let go which becomes a greater and greater possibility with each new law passed.
