  • What's Not Progressive? Attacking Portland Workers' Rights, That's What
    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 add transit
    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.

  • Bring Trader Joe's to Brighton, MI
    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!

  • Cheri Bustos Should Step Down Over Personally Investing in Companies that Outsource
    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.

  • Improve Social Security
    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

  • Tell Bobby Schilling to stand up for the jobs at Sensata
    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.

  • If a college is not accredited then they should not receive government funding.
    I went to a college that was not accredited, and not only did it ruin my credit but wasted my time. I could have been going to a real college to get a better job so I can pay back this loan.

  • CIA OFF AUSTIN PEAY'S CAMPUS!
    On wednesday 26 September 2012 the Austin Peay State University (APSU) Office of Career Services will be hosting a Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) recruitment event on campus. The CIA has a history of recruiting students and professors to spy on other students and faculty, performing unethical mind control experiments on students (Project MKUltra), as well as a long list of repeated violations of human rights and international law. Activities such as these are unacceptable and will not be tolerated at APSU. We are calling on the campus administration to uphold the student code of conduct and not allow the CIA on our campus.

  • Stop Voter Integrity Project (VIP)
    Frivolous claims of 30,000 dead voters on the rolls in North Carolina by a tea party group called the Voter Integrity Project. Considering the last election was won by just over 14,000 votes in North Carolina. The company claims to be a Non-partisan, Non-profit organization, but they are listed on the North Carolina Department of the Secretary of State website as a Business (BUS), and as a business, their tax returns are private. We may never know who's funding them.
