ABC has a new "comedy" called "Don't Trust the B____ in Apt 23" about a nasty woman and, incidentally, her nice roommate. Just because you don't say the word doesn't make it any less degrading. You don't call The Sopranos "Italian Mafia A-holes" or reruns of The Cosby Show "Funny but smart N-words". It's not OK to use or suggest the B word either. Women have the right to be unpleasant without being the only group called insulting names because of it. How ironic that the head of ABC is now a woman. We call on ABC to change the title or cancel the show, and to stop with "the B word" already. We know funny. B____ is not remotely funny.

Until the unique experience of concurrent racism plus sexism is ended for women of color, women of color cannot move from the socio-economic bottom of society where 48% of housing foreclosures are women of color; women of color are dying at the highest level from every curable disease; only one woman of color has ever been in the US Senate; and 61% of Asian American, 74% of African American, and 75% of Latina American women over 65 cannot meet their basic needs for food, shelter, health care or employment. If there is no justice for women of color, society cannot be just. Freedom cannot be divided nor given to some while others are left out.

the Palestinian People deserve an independent sovereign state like all other nations. they had suffered under the Israeli occupation for more than 60 years. the U.N. partition plan allocated more than 50% of Palestine to be a Palestinian state. now less than 20% is left for Palestine.

It's time that our elected officials stand with the people of this country. This petition is set in motion to realign the outrageous benefits members of congress receive for life. The term used to define an elected officials job title is PUBLIC SERVICE not public support for life. Lets reset the compensation for the honor of serving in government to the gratitude of the people.

Currently in MA there is a fifty dollar head injury surcharge applied to speeding tickets.

Psychiatry, behaviorlists, and big coorporations who create "disorders" and sell Drugs should be regulated. Allopathic medicine should be held in the same light as Integrative Medicine and Complimentary "Alternative" Medicine (CAM). This industry should be regulated by a panel of doctors from many methods of practice. This would enhance our countries Health Care programs and focus on Preventitive Health as well as overall lifestyle choices.

Some 11 million homeowners are currently underwater in their mortgages. Reducing their principal balances could enable them to avoid foreclosure, thus propping up house prices and boosting economic growth. Advocates say Fannie and Freddie could facilitate writedowns at practically no cost to taxpayers, because the entities are already on the hook for the risk of default anyway — and because a growing economy reduces that risk.

End Bush-Era Tax Cuts

Adopt the 26 March 2012 recommendations based on the ACLU's petition to the U.S. Department of Justice, requesting a "patterns & practices" investigation of Las Vegas Metro Police Department.

The Impact Aid Program fulfills, in part, the promises made by the Federal Government in the Treaty of 1868 to provide teachers and school facilities on the Navajo Nation. Reject any further cuts to Impact Aid funding levels and support the NAFIS reauthorization proposal when it is introduced.

Women are not included in the US Constitution, that's why we needed a separate amendment to vote. Justice Antonin Scallia stated that women aren't covered by the "Equal Protection" clause of the 14th Amendment. Any rights given to women by Congress can be taken away by Congress. We need three more states to ratify the ERA and we can breath easier. It's now or never!

It is shocking that in the year 2012 our court system across the nation discriminates against the mentally disabled. The Americans with disabilities Act of 1990 clearly states that all public and private entities have a DUTY to grant Reasonable Accommodations for the disabled. The physically disabled are accommodated as SOP while the mentally disabled are ignored. The only useful accommodation in the courts would be Mandatory Appointment of Counsel!
