My name is Myrna, from Kingston, New York. I am a low-wage worker, making just over the minimum wage. It's impossible to make ends meet. I wait until 5pm to go grocery shopping, because I can get bread at a discount. I just hope I can provide a better future for my daughter. The minimum wage in New York is just $7.25/hr. That's just over $15,000 a year. That's a poverty wage, and no family in New York should have to survive on it. My family, like hundreds of thousands of low wage workers across New York, deserves a raise. Governor Cuomo has proved he can get his priorities done in Albany. Now Governor Cuomo should show that he cares about low-income families like mine, and not just about the demands of big corporations. When gambling bigwigs showed up with big contributions for the Committee to Save New York, Gov. Cuomo listened. Low-wage families don't have millions of dollars. But we need Gov. Cuomo's help too. The Assembly has passed a bill to raise the minimum wage. But it will take Governor Cuomo's leadership to pass it in the Senate.

"WHO encourages countries to better recognize midwifery as a profession and support midwives as an essential pillar of the maternal and newborn healthcare workforce." This quote is taken directly from the World Health Organization's website. The women of NC certainly deserve to have the right to choose midwife-assisted birth without anyone coming under threat of arrest. The Certified Professional Midwives of NC have been asking to be licensed, but until now the state has refused. Please speak out and insist that House Bill 522 / Senate Bill 662 "The Licensing of Certified Professional Midwives" is passed this session!

Pro-Life. Imagine a cure for cancer, or some other disease. God had sent us that such person in the form of an unborn child only to be snuffed out by abortion. The aborted child, a precious gift, grows up and discovers a cure for breast cancer. A woman's health issue. Please protect all life in our constitution.

Tennessee Gas is about to create a new 7-mile pipeline through our community and destroy wildlife areas and kill thousands of trees when they could use an EXISTING 1-mile pipeline that is already there and they already have rights to. This new pipeline will be used to carry fracked natural gas through our neighborhood and next to our school.

American Companies get tax breaks for creating jobs overseas. This should be stopped. Also, all companies that outsource American jobs overseas and lays off workers to do so, should pay that employees taxes, until the laid off employee finds a job. All taxes, City, County, Township, State, Federal. This way the tax base is not eroded or undermined by Corporate greed.
