  • Waynesboro City Council: Increase Funding to Waynesboro Public Schools
    Like school systems across the state, the Waynesboro School System is facing a deficit for the 2012-2013 school year. With 22 positions lost two years ago and additional cuts made last year, the budget cannot be trimmed further without serious detriment to our students. Quality schools result in lowered crime rates, increased property values, employment, and many other factors that define vibrant communities. As citizens of Waynesboro, we believe investing in our schools is in our best interest.

  • Combat the corporate privatization of our bookstore and keep the bookstore a non-profit!
    We the students, faculty, and staff of San Francisco State University, reject the further corporatization of our campus. We see the possible corporate management of the campus bookstore as a further intrusion by private corporations into our public university. Furthermore, this attempt undermines our university’s values and its strong commitment to the SFSU community.

  • Term Limits for Supreme Court Justices
    All elected officials are subject toterm limits (time spent in office not doing the people's work for the people) - it is way beyond time to bring the very same term limits to the Supreme Court and the political hacks that call themselves Supreme Court Justices today - people paid with government taxes to do our work for us, not to undo what the people have voted into law -

  • End mandatory testing in US schools
    There is so much emphasis on testing in today's schools that our children are learning nothing about actually living. Teachers are judged by the performance of their students and standardized testing. The schools are also judged. The education, therefore, it aimed at getting all the answers correct. It leaves little time for learning things not included in the tests. It leaves little time to teach children how to learn - how to understand other people - find information on subjects in which THEY are interested. How about if we made parents pass standardized tests in order to maintain their homes and families? How about if we made politicians pass standardized tests about their country and what they have and haven't done for the people in their districts? Our children should feel comfortable in school. It should be a nurturing atmosphere, not an atmosphere of fear that they will not live up to what is expected of them.

  • Give Prior Felons Another Chance at Life
    For a person who has a felony or felonies on their record not to be penalized & denied or either their children to suffer when trying to apply for any type of low income governmental housing. Especially if no other form of crime was commited by them within several years. Everyone has the right to be given a second chance and forgiven for mistakes they have made but how can they be if no one will let them.

  • VETO Utah Legislature HB363 and keep current enrollment classes in schools!
    Thousands of Utah high school students may have to re-think their plans to take a concurrent enrollment course next year, if a controversial sex-ed bill, HB363, is signed into law by Gov. Gary Herbert, education officials say. Some concurrent enrollment courses, that give students both college and high school credit, deal with topics such as contraception that would be prohibited from discussion in public schools under the legislation that lawmakers passed. Around 1,100 high school students are now enrolled in concurrent courses at Weber State University, such as family relations and human development that may not be offered next year. The HB363 has not been on higher education officials' radar, since it was seen as a bill that would only affect public education. Concurrent enrollment classes are college-credit courses that can be taken in high school. If this becomes a law, the bill could prevent high schools from offering some college level courses that deal with human reproduction and sexuality. I hope that this won’t happen because students have actively participated in courses and any concurrent enrollment class that students have an opportunity to take is a good thing. This is really important for these students. Not only will HB363 strip parents of the right to choose for themselves how they want their kids taught sex ed, but now we're seeing that high school students are going to be denied the opportunity to take college courses. I think that this bill is tragic and shortsighted. Help us oppose HB363.
