The USPS, founded by Ben Franklin, has provided every American with fast, efficient, and trustworthy mail delivery for over 200 years. Now, thanks to the postal accountability and enhancement act of 2006 and poor management, this service is in danger. The Post office is required by the law to place $5.5 billion per year into a 75 year healthcare fund - a requirement not shared by any other public or private entity. If the Post Office had an extra $5.5 billion a year to spare, it would not be doing its job! Instead of fighting this law, the Postmaster General has decided to cut important services and close down post offices and processing centers, leading to slower mail, and damage to remote communities. In addition, he has asked congress to let him break negotiated union contracts! This is unacceptable. Please read and sign the petition below to President Obama, asking him to take strong action.

I incredibly survived 31 years of psychiatry. A nurse in an emergency room said, Your mind cannot learn on drugs. "Go to 12-step group. They teach the mental tools needed to live in this world and enjoy it." Love empowers bonding and self-abilities. (Self-esteem, and so forth ) It only took me 6 months to change from the terrified child mind to the love-directed nonviolent adult mind. Most people do not survive psychiatry.

Citizens should know that Republicans blatantly lie about our so-called "free market economy"; this lie leads people to believe other lies about "job creators" and the real reasons for the recession, unemployment, and the difficulties we all face. Voters need to understand how our economy really works and what can realistically be done to improve it for all citizens.

it is time the American people to stand up to these people like rick scott in florida and stop this purging of voters from voting . The way to this is to make him prove that the ones that is purged is illegal . If they are then do it if not then make him stop.

Congress and the Presidency [the federal government] have not broken up illegal monopolies like Goldman, Sachs & Co and the oil companies that make up Big Oil who deal in "necessaries of life" such as gasoline and oil for heat now at very high prices that stop ordinary Americans' enjoyment of their liberty and pursuit of their happiness [less money available for travel and vacations]. This failure to break-up has been destructive of our unalienable rights: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness that triggers the People's right to alter or abolish the federal government set forth in the Declaration of Independence. Term limits for members of congress is a good first step to alter our federal government to stop improper influence by illegal monopolies over the members who favor special interests over ordinary Americans.

The justice department has started an investigation into Comcast and other cable companies, to see if they have violated antitrust laws by interfering with viewers' ability to view content from networks and others through internet video providers such as Netfilx and Hulu.

Speedworld has been an Arizona motorsports icon for more than 50 years and is in jeopardy of being shut down by Maricopa County for minor zoning violations, some of which that were made more than 20 years ago. Maricopa County alleges that Speedworld is in violation of grading/drainage requirements and use permit violations that were implemented long before current owner Dan Mathews took over the business. Speedworld is not trying to avoid coming into compliance with the County's requests, we are only asking to be able to keep our doors open while the changes are being made. If forced to close it's doors during the process, Speedworld would be put out of business completely due to the cost of the changes that the County is seeking. We're calling on Speedworld customers and motorsports fans around the country to raise awareness on what this track means to Arizona and those across the country. Don't let Arizona's longest running motorsports park be shut down due issues that can easily be worked through by Maricopa County and Speedworld Raceway Park together.

Until last week, we were on the cusp of a major victory to restore Clean Water Act protections to nearly 25,000 miles of streams and many wetlands in Maine. President Obama and the Army Corps of Engineers were about to issue the new protections. These streams and wetlands feed our rivers and the drinking water for nearly half a million Mainers. But the House of Representatives, led by members doing the bidding of Big Oil and other polluters, voted last week to block these clean water protections, and the Senate is expected to vote on the issue next week. The vote is expected to be VERY close, and Senators Snowe and Collins appear to be on the fence so please sign the petition today.

"Sugar in the Raw"(tm) a popular "natural" product from Maui is created using controversial agricultural practices. Most egregiously, HC&S (the company that makes it) harvests their sugarcane by burning it. With 35,000 acres on a small island, this results in a massive release of CO2 and choking smoke which is damaging residents' health. Sugarcane can be harvested without burning (as is done in most of the world) and we would like HC&S to stop cane burning now.

The minimum wage for waiters is $2.13/hour,and that doesn't cover the taxes,and has been the same for the past 20 years. We also have to tip out to cover buss,host,and food runners,and do not receive over time pay/holiday pay.
