Our federal and state governments have failed us. Its up to us, The People, community by community, block by block, locally on a city by city basis to make those that wish to pollute our ground water feel as unwelcome as we possibly can. Please sign this and share with everyone you know. Demand that your city council ban fracking in and near your town. Use this petition as a template when you do the same where you live. Your city administrator emails are usually readily available on your City's home page. Thanks.

There is so much sunshine in this state we should be the leader in solar energy. I put photovoltaic on my house in 2007 and my electric bill–for up to nine people using the three bedroom plus two apartments under one roof runs around $150 per month. Hawaii runs its grid on diesel fuel which is an abomination. Please help me to encourage the state legislature to continue efforts to keep Hawaii green.

Whats the definition of insanity? If we continue to elect career politicians then we will continue to get the same results. Vote none of the above until we see a candidate worth voting for

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?”
