The School Reform Commission(SRC) that was created to protect public education in Philadelphia has been leading it down a path of ruin and destruction since it was formed. Their latest decision is to close 40 more schools many of which will convert to charters. We must save public education in Philadelphia. Every school can be a great school if it is supported. The SRC is supposed to protect the school system not sell it off.

we used to have duty on anything that came into thyis country. now that the ryan plan has a way for the rich and the corporations to move all their earnings off our shores a 10% duty on all imports would also pay for infrastructure. the american labor costs around 7% give or take a fraction of a percent. this would force the corporations to locate back in the u.s.

Why should your credit score be used in ANY part of your driving insurance premiums.

Airline negotiations fall under the Railway Labor Act. Sounds odd, but the owners of the rails, over 100 years ago, wanted to ensure the trains would always run. By making it illegal to strike, when a contract ends, guaranteed the trains would operate. The U.S. airline system works the same way today. American and USAir pilots have been in negotiations for 6 years. United and Continental are in their 3rd and 4th years respectively. Airline managements drag their feet because they can and avoid pay increases for years. Labor needs the ability to strike when a contract ends and or receive cost of living adjustments for every month a contract goes beyond its amendable date.

We must stop the Gilbane Development Company from developing a massive apartment complex in the College Hill neighborhood.

Right now 32 civil rights and labor organizers in the South are facing deportation just because they stood up for their rights. This is not only morally wrong, but it also violates a new policy issued last year by the Obama Administration. Yet, immigration officials in charge of 5 Southern states, with a long history of civil rights abuses, are refusing to go along with the new policy. Their boss – Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano -- has done nothing about it. You can help the Southern 32 and immigrants across the country who’ve stood up for civil, labor, and human rights by telling Janet Napolitano to stop deporting these leaders and make sure her agents are actually implementing agency policies.

When I called to ask the breakdown they use to determine mostly auto rates,I was unable to get any satisfactory ANSWERS. Why,they do it for demerits showing a table of sorts so you know where stand if you are caught speeding etc.Why countnt this or something similiar be done with credit score critia.and also another question people should have answered (If theres a couple or family of drivers are they based on the best score or the lowest scoreor on individual scores of those drivers? And last do our rates go down with a improve score as fast as they go up when your score goes lower.what kind of studies were used to even set up something like this and maybe it woulb be nice to see if some auto etc issurers use a lower,less harmful scale or maybe no scale at all
