  • Save FAU FTL Campus
    DID YOU KNOW? The FAU Board of Trustees intends to close the Fort Lauderdale campus in order to save a mere 1.9 million. This amount could easily be made up by adding high demand courses to the campus. The FAU administration and Board of Trustees is consolidating academic programs on the Boca campus ultimately removing the presence of the designated lead state university for Broward County. The legislative money allocated to Broward County is being used to support the Palm Beach campuses. Nine hundred undergraduate and graduate students take classes on the downtown campus in professional disciplines including: Architecture Communication (Film, Video, Journalism, Animation, New Media) Graphic Design Urban & Regional Planning The faculty, staff, and students bring a dynamic presence to the downtown area. The Florida Public Archeology Network, Outward Bound, and Small Business Development Center also make their home at the FAU downtown campus. Voice your protest to FAU Board of Trustees (B.O.T.) if these issues matter to you.

  • Stop Navajo, Hopi genocide: Oppose the Kyl bill
    The bill would give water rights that currently fall under native control to the power industry, and leave huge portions of both Navajo and Hopi peoples without any water access. They will have no way to water livestock, meaning that this bill will be a death sentence for thousands of sheep, goats, horses, and cows. Their way of life and livelihood depends on sheep, so this bill is an act of genocide.

  • Pro-public referendum on gun control laws.
    The current gun control legislation seems to be designed by gun advocates, and fortified by their financial investment in, and lobbying of congressmen. We believe the citizens should be allowed to decide this issue, as they are the ones adversely affected by the unfettered, poorly regulated use of these lethal weapons. We request a national referendum on gun control.

  • Politicians! Give up your pensions first!
    With all this talk about cutting into State worker's and now Railroad worker's pension funds to feed the political machine, the question must arise: What about Politician's pensions? Anyone in the workforce, be it State, Union, or otherwise, pays into their own pension fund which they can not draw from until they reach retirement age. This is NOT an entitlement for them. Politicians, on the other hand, receive a lifetime pension for serving a single term (4 to 6 years in most cases) which is funded solely on our tax dollars! It is time we stand up and demand that these "public servants" give up their pensions first!
