• Election Supervisor Cowles: Defend the right to vote.
    The attack on Florida citizens' right to vote has even stopped the respected League of Women Voters from recruiting new voters in Florida. In the last election, when my 84-year-old husband, a regular voter, arrived at our Winter Park polling place, he was told he would not be allowed to vote because he was dead! Someone was deliberately stirring up mischief, using false information to stop certain people from voting.

  • CORPORATION GREED & CONGRESS
    It seems to me that Congress is not doing anything about the following: Corporations are behind a lot of the things that is taking our country on a dangerous path. To name a few...They do not want any regulations put on any of thier products which affects our food safety, our drinking water, our earth, etc. Also, they move thier companies to other countries so they can get cheap labor and they do not want to pay thier fair share of taxes.

  • Why the Military Option for Iran Should be off the Table.
    As an American citizen I don't feel that we can afford another preemptive war such as the one we initiated in Iraq. We cannot afford it. The military option with regard to Iran should be OFF the table, NOT on the table. Moreover, explicitly taking the military option off the table would give Iran much less of an excuse to behave in destructive ways. Iran's behavior is the result of past western intrusion into its affairs, and the existence of the military option that is on the table.

  • Support authorization of the School for Examining Essential Questions of Sustainability (SEEQS)
    SEEQS’ founding board--a group of committed and experienced educators, parents, and community members--plans to open a free, public charter school in Honolulu in August 2013 that will serve 6th and 7th graders and expand to include 6th- 12th grades by 2018. The mission of the School for Examining Essential Questions of Sustainability (SEEQS) is to foster lifelong learning among a diverse group of secondary-level students through exploration within authentic learning environments. SEEQS graduates will be stewards of planet Earth and healthy, engaged citizens of Hawaii and the world. SEEQS’ authorization is partly contingent on showing the Public Charter School Commission that there is abundant community support for such a school. Please sign this petition if you would be interested in sending your child to SEEQS and/or if you would support the school opening in the community. Then pass it on to friends and colleagues in the Hawaii community. Mahalo! Please include your city/state when signing so that the Commission can verify that we have *local* community support! Parents: indicate that you are a parent in the comments section—that will strengthen our application! If you are interested in learning more about the school, please visit our website at www.seeqs.org.

  • Reinstatement of our Guidance Counselor
    Guidance counselors play a vital role in our school community. Without them our school will not be able to function and the students will not receive the necessary information they need in terms of planning their future, personal issues, and college information. Most colleges require students to send a recommendation from a counselor and getting a new counselor for the 2012-2013 school year will greatly affect the student's college process.

  • Save the New Orleans, Mobile, Birmingham and Huntsville Newspapers
    Tell the Newhouse Family, we don't need a Some-Times Picayune: If you don't publish 7 days a week, we won't buy your papers! The Gulf South cities of New Orleans, Mobile, Birmingham and Huntsville will be without daily newspapers on Sept. 30th, and the newsrooms of those entities will be cut by as much as half as the Newhouse family seeks greater profits from their newspaper chain. In New Orleans, the multiple Pulitzer winning newsroom saw 84 people fired yesterday, 49% of the staff. Despite promising more quality reporting after transitioning to primarily digital publishing, Newhouse family leadership is ignoring the significant digital divide which exists in New Orleans, as well as the simple truth that you can only do less reporting with fewer reporters.

  • Home Foreclosures
    Demand congress senate, and our President explain to the people on national television why they have taken an enormous amount of money from the people and give it to the loan institutions for them to give themselves enormous bonuses, then continue to take our homes from us one by one. This is so dam wrong for our leader on both side of the isle to allow this to happen to the american people.
