• Arizona is at it again
    What is at issue is how the Public Safety Personnel Retirement System has decided to arbitrarily interpret A.R.S. 38-849. The intent of A.R.S. 38-849 (D) was to avoid double dipping which is what happens when a member of the PSPRS system “elects” to retire yet remains employed with the same municipality in a similar position and is able to collect both a retirement and a salary. While Michael Stewart’s case may seem similar on the surface in fact they are not. Mr. Stewart didn’t elect to retire. The injuries that he received while employed as a police officer prevented him from continuing to work as a police officer, he didn’t elect to retire, disabilities aren’t elective. The purpose of the disability pension is to provide some benefit for the years served when an officer is no longer able work in public safety due to an injury (not of their choice). Michael Stewart’s permanent disability prevents him from being an officer but doesn’t prevent him from being a productive member of society in a civilian position that is not a “similar position”.

  • Fight Racism and Love All Humans
    Racism is a thing of the past, hating the color of someone's skin. However, today is a new day. Let us all get back connected with God our Creator, and stop allowing hate to enter our hearts. We are asking President Obama to look into this problem of racism, and find a ethical cure for it.

  • Lies Won't Bring Back Teacher Jobs
    On March 15, Americans for Prosperity and Civitas launched a costly PR campaign to distort the true impact of the 2011-2012 North Carolina state budget on our children and families. They made a $475,000 TV ad buy in major media markets, claiming that lawmakers somehow “protected teachers” by cutting funding for K-12 schools by $459 million dollars. What’s worse is they think you’ll believe them. But their misleading math simply doesn’t add up. No matter how they spin it, fewer education dollars ≠ more teachers. In fact, data from the NC Department of Public Instruction shows that so far 915 teacher jobs and 2,042 teaching assistant jobs have been lost due to budget cuts made by the legislature in 2011. That’s not protecting educators, it’s attacking them. What’s more, the TV ad fails to mention that lawmakers cut taxes for wealthy individuals and corporations to the tune of $200 million in the same state budget. Please sign this petition to tell Americans for Prosperity and Civitas to stop spreading their lies and worse, insulting the thousands of educators who’ve lost their jobs and everyday working families.

  • Justice for Tori Scofield and other injured Bikers!
    City of Erie Pennsylvania Police Department needs to step up! My Niece was hit by a Driver (a nurse) that was in a hurry on 2/28/12 and turned into Tori L Scofield's motorcycle! Tori has lost her left leg and suffered internal injuries, not to mention the emotional trauma. As a single mother of two, she and her children have suffered life changing pain and suffering! The driver, who is a Nurse, did not go to my niece to see if she could help her. She simply left her laying on the pavement bleeding out! Erie PD HAS NOT Charged this Driver, who, by the way, does not have her Drivers License. Another Biker was hit and killed and his 6 yr old child injured on 3/15/12. The driver that hit this motorcycle was turning from wrong lane! Again no charges filed! Where is the Justice? Does the Law Bend when Erie PD doesn't Like the injured Parties? Please help injured Bikers get FAIR n Just treatment! Thank you, Terry Soliwoda
