In California, voters are faced with voting on Bond Measures on the ballots. Many seem like very wonderful ideas but once voted into reality, the perimeters of those bonds of who and what really gets funded are 'gerrymandered'. Legislators find way to fund their pet projects instead funding what the voters of California thought they voted.

His death was not right because of the color of his skin.

All people need afforable Health care. When people are healthy thay do not think about health care. It is when an emergency occurs that they see the drawbacks of living n a country which does not promote affordable health care for all.

The amount of student debt across the nation is on the rise as the costs of higher education increase. The bill would allow fellow teachers and public service employees to ease the burden of student loans and focus their time on what really matters...public service. This would help teachers to focus on educating youth and providing more support for instructional materials.

This petition is to force the Congress to be accountable for the money they take from Corporations and Lobbyist groups for their own personal profit. It will also allow the American People the right to take said Congressman/Congresswoman to court for prosecution. As of now the Congress handles these matters it's self. Which means that unless the press gets a hold of the story, nothing ever happens.

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”.

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.

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.
