Advocacy of religious hatred via speech, print or video and film that constitutes incitement to hostility and violence should be declared a hate crime and should not be protected under freedom of speech rights. The importance of respecting all prophets and holy books, regardless of which religion they belong to is essential for peaceful coexistence of Humanity.

Rep. Francisco Canseco says he represents all Texans, but he hasn’t said much about Mitt Romney's offensive remarks defaming 47% of Americans. Texas has been hard hit by the economic crisis and I live in one of the poorer neighborhoods in Bexar County, Texas. However, I see my neighbors every day going out to work long hours. If they don't have jobs, I see them valiantly looking. Many of them intend to vote for Obama, but not all of them. What is clear to me is that ALL Texans were smeared when Mitt Romney stated 47% of Americans think of themselves as victims who are entitled to and dependent on government support. He later went on to say, “My job is not to worry about those people.” Canseco should have stood up for his constituents and made it clear that he respects the hardworking people of Texas, but he has not. We deserve to know what our representatives stand for and what they really think of us.

On September 21st, 2012, University of Richmond Athletic Director Jim Miller informed the members of the University of Richmond Track and Field program that the University would be cutting the mens indoor and outdoor Track and Field teams. These cuts were made in order that the University could add a Men's Lacrosse team. The Richmond Cross Country/Track program has been the epitome of what the NCAA promotes as Student-Athletes. We have succeeded both academically and athletically. The following are just some of the accomplishments by the Richmond Cross Country/Track and Field program over the past few years. Spring 2011- Highest Team GPA all DI Outdoor Track and Field Teams 10 consecutive years on USTFCCCA All Academic Team for Cross Country, Indoor Track and Outdoor Track 2010- Qualified for NCAA XC Championships 2010-Top 25 finish in the NCAA 2010- Atlantic10 Cross Country Champions Please sign this petition and vocalize your concern to the University community at large, to raise awareness and hopefully reverse this decision. Thank you for your support.

Delaware Valley School District is proposing to build a new elementary school with taxpayer money on an existing high pressure natural gas pipeline. Industry experts have agreed these children would be placed in a risk with loss of life.

the tremendous work they did, music, compossers, charities, servicemen and women

I think that private companies stopping citizens from voting should be illegal.

My co-workers and I, who work at the Fund for the Public Interest in Portland, voted to unionize 11 months ago, but we are still without a first contract. Leadership at the Fund—a nonprofit that has supported great organizations like Environment Oregon and the Oregon State Public Interest Research Group with fundraising and member outreach—has utilized stalling techniques in negotiations and even fired some fellow workers who have been involved in negotiation talks.[1] Tell the Fund's National Telephone Outreach Project Director Pat Wood to negotiate in good faith with workers to settle a fair first contract.

Apple iPhone5 substitutes Apple Maps for Google Maps. Apple Maps cannot route you on transit–only driving. Google Maps is the transcendent resource for routing yourself around any city, anywhere, that has transit service. Apple needs to keep serving those of us who love Apple AND love transit.

The people of Brighton, Hartland, Howell, MI, and surrounding areas, ask Trader Joe's to consider opening up a Trader Joe's in our area. Many of us have to drive 40+ mins to the nearest Trader Joe's and would benefit massively from a healthy and affordable neighborhood grocery store. There is no other store like Trader Joe's in this area!

We are active organizers in the 17th district that believe that Cheri Bustos should step down as the candidate for Congress because she personally invests in companies that ship good American jobs overseas. Cheri has proven that she cannot be trusted to keep American jobs here at home, when she is personally profiting from outsourcing.

scrap the caps on Social Security's "contribution and benefit base," also known as the "maximum taxable wage base." Social Security limits the amount of earnings subject to taxation through FICA contribution". that way everyone earning income in the U.S.A. pays into Social Security from January 1 thorugh December 31. This will not only create a positive infusion of revenue into Social Security, eliminate any need to reduce benefits, or age, to receive benefits but will also create jobs in that more people will be willing to retire knowing that Social Security is safe

In Freeport, Ill. Sensata Technologies, a company owned by Bain Capital, is sending 170 workers’ jobs to China. To add insult to injury, Bain is even forcing the Freeport workers to train their Chinese replacements. A group of the workers have organized to garner support for the “Bring American Jobs Home Act”, a common sense bill that gives American workers an even playing field by replacing tax loopholes for companies that send jobs overseas with financial incentives to bring jobs back to America. On Tuesday, the workers caught up with Schilling but the Congressman refused to answer their simple yes or no question and then walked out of his own town hall meeting to avoid further questions. The video is here: http://bit.ly/SchillingWalksOut Bobby Schilling can run from meetings but he can’t hide from his record in Washington: Schilling supports: • Free Trade deals that ship jobs overseas • Tax break incentives for companies to leave the U.S. • Hiding the number of jobs companies send overseas • Cutting job retraining programs for workers whose jobs were lost overseas Rep. Schilling’s record in Washington shows he has chosen a rigid ideology over the public interest. The Congressman has the wrong priorities and has turned his back on Illinois workers. Join me in telling Bobby Schilling that he can run away but he can’t hide from his record in Washington.
