Ronald Reagan allowed the CEO's to set their own pay scale and allowed them to be paid in stock. This has made it so CEO's who control the board's basically control their own pay. What we have seen is excessive CEO pay in the millions. The pay that they are getting is a new form of Embezzlement but it is openly accepted. Embezzlement laws should be used to put the CEO's in jail and to stop this fraudulent abuse of power.

The disenfranchiased voters of Florida. 180,000 former voters that the Govenors office says are not qualified to vote for whatever reason. These people need help-NOW

Replacements Ltd. of Greensboro, NC lost customers because it actively opposed the recently passed “Amendment 1.” Unfortunately, on May 8, 2012, NC voters enshrined bigotry and ignorance into its constitution with an amendment that defines marriage as between one man and one woman. Not one single Fortune 500 company headquartered in NC had the guts to publically oppose this discriminatory measure. Replacements, Ltd. did. Led by Founder and Chairman Bob Page, the company lobbied legislators, contacted other companies, contributed big money, and did much more in public view to fight the amendment. Replacements Ltd. even tried to recruit other companies to join it, but most were too afraid. Big name company support in other states has been instrumental in helping advance marriage equality efforts. Despite receiving multiple negative emails, calls, and letters from angry customers withdrawing their business, Bob Page does not regret this activism. He doesn’t want other gay kids to suffer as he did and especially wants to help prevent teen suicide.

The aging of the US population - one person ever 7 seconds joins the 50 and older crowd - is one of the most critical issues of our time. It impacts economic, political, cultural, social and environmental issues and will dramatically alter the lives of young and old alike. Soon half our population will be in this category and our government, our institutions and businesses and many of our citizens are no prepared to address the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. We need an aggresive, innovative focus now.

Ted Nugent engages repeatedly in violent hate speech. Responsible organizations should sever all ties to Ted and his television show.

To stop the barbaric act of horse slaughtering that for those not aware is done while alive. The torture, beating, and slicing while alive. The horses are gathered, auctioned, sold, sent out to Mexico or Canada and slaughtered. Information of this treatment is provided by sorces such as PETA, Humane Societly, You Tube and more.

The people were swindled out of 86 million dollars, in DC Taxes, according to the newspapers. Two people had come together to keep their businesses, from going under, and had found a way to stay afloat at the tax payer’s extent. To the best of my knowledge this particular scandal is dated back to the year of 1991, the scandal was brought out in the year of 2007. I would like, for the victim’s of this here scandal receive what’s do to them.

Tiger Airways are telling people with certified service dogs (such as medical alert dogs) that their dogs cannot travel in the passenger cabin with them. This is NOT legal and it needs to STOP. We want Tiger Airlines to abide by the LAW and allow service dogs in the passenger cabin.

PRESIDENT BARAK OBAMA: Please campaign in Wisconsin to defeat Walker! RECALL WALKER to save the 99% AND UNIONS. our unions that represent the 99%

More than 130,000 horses are transported from the USA to Canada and Mexico for slaughter for human consumption to Asia and Europe. The tranportation of the horses is crowded and unsafe and slaughter process is inhumane. There are healthy, trained horses (sometimes pregant) of all ages that are slaughtered. 80% of Americans do not support horse slaughter. Horse slaughter was recently legislated approval to return to the USA. Please contact your local, state and federal government officials to tell them you support the American Horse Slaughter Prevention Act of 2011 and that we do NOT wish to support horses being slaughtered in the USA and don't want them shipped outside of th USA for slaughter.

I am a stateless person seeking entry into the United States to ensure that I can be present for the reopening and rehearing of my asylum case. I was born in the former U.S.S.R. and have resided in the United States for about 16 years after entering on December 12, 1995 on a B1/B2 visa as citizen of ex Soviet Union. In February 1996, I applied for asylum on basis of ethnicity (Armenian) and religion (Christianity) during the war between Azerbaijan and Armenia caused in part by anti-Armenian sentiment by muslim populated Azerbaijan along with significant persecution and discrimination towards Armenians, Russians and openly practice gay population in Muslim populated Turkmenistan (part of former Soviet Republic). I never brought the issue of being gay during my asylum hearing in 1996 as I was not aware about gay situation in US and was scared to open myself, was afraid of being humiliated or worth hated. My applications for asylum and withholding of removal were denied on October 17, 1996. I was granted voluntary departure and told to leave by November 18, 1996. I could not leave United States due to circumstances beyond my control as I found myself stateless without country.    I tried to get travel documents on numerous occasions from former republics of U.S.S.R. including Russia, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan but received denials each time. The Consulate of Azerbaijan in Los Angeles in written denied my request for travel document and citizenship and I.C.E. in Los Angeles has the copy of that letter.  The Department of Homeland Security later released me under Order of Supervision in 2003 ( I continued reporting for supervision through my last report in October 2011) after their efforts to secure travel documents for me also failed.  When U.S.S.R. dissolved, I considered a citizen be neither Russia or other former republics of Soviet block due to their newly adopted citizenship law after gaining independency from Soviet Union. The UNHCR, learning of my situation, identified me as a person of concern to them because of my stateless status.   I applied for and received visitor permit to enter American Samoa and entered on December 29, 2011 for a New Year holiday vacation. I believed that I could travel to American Samoa without being considered departing the United States after being told by immigration authorities in Los Angeles that it was not a problem getting to American Samoa as long as I could obtain travel permission from American Samoa Government since American Samoa considered a territory not a state, which I did. During my visit to American Samoa I also traveled for one day to Western Samoa. I had no idea that Western Samoa was independent state until I arrived there, I thought that Eastern and Western Samoa was part of United States territory of American Samoa. I was denied trying to board my flight from American Samoa to Los Angeles via Honolulu on January 2, 2012. This is when I first was made aware that I could not return.   During my trip, my pro bono attorney, Ms. Lauren Gibson, Esq. was contacted by Department of Homeland Security’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Office of Chief Counsel that they wanted to initiate a motion to reopen my asylum case. I would be able to bring new evidence, especially in light of the fact that I am gay without country and face severe persecution if ever able to be forced to return to any country of the former U.S.S.R.   The UNHCR and U.S. Department of Homeland Security identified me as part of a vulnerable population because I am stateless. I must return to the United States so I am present for my reopened immigration court proceedings. I must make sure I have a chance to give new evidence about why I must receive asylum.   As a stateless with no papers to enter another country as refugee or asylum seeker I am like a bird with nowhere to rest on the ground, but which can't spend his whole life in the sky. Only the oceans, the skies over my head. I cannot legally enter another state where I face the same illegalities which I face in the deporting state. United States was my home for 16 years, my life, my education, my carrier where I  strongly established ties to the community in Houston, TX where I lived before and in Los Angeles, CA where I lived before my short vacation trip to the U.S. territory in South Pacific.   My asylum claim was viewed as important enough to reopen by ICE. They initiated the desire to reopen my case. It would be counter to the opinion of a Department of Homeland Security agency to allow me to receive humanitarian parole so I can be present for my case.   American Samoa has no immigration or refugee system. I am stuck in limbo unless I can return to the United States and present my case before the immigration courts.

Wisconsin's recall elections are in the closing days. The Republicans are spending 25 to 1 against the Democrats. This election brings together issues vital to workers, fairness, truth versus lies and Citizen United. President Obama needs to take sides because this election sets the stage for November for all of voters. We are calling on him to step up and make a difference.
