  • Rush Limbaugh Pink Slip
    This petition is to ask Clear Channel communications to remove Rush Limbaugh from the public airwaves for his misogynist, racist and homophobic behavior. The comments directed at Sandra Fluke are an insult to all people that recognize that women are not chattel and that Limbaughs comments have finally gone too far.

  • NY State Senate: Do not kill our fine wine distributors ability to do business and stop the "At R...
    A critical issue to the very existence of the fine wine industry in New York has been brought to our attention and we wanted to make you aware of it. One of the largest liquor wholesalers is lobbying the State Senate to include an “at rest” provision in their 2012 budget. The practical effect of “at rest” means that only those distributors delivering product out of New York warehouses could legally sell you wine. Legislation such as this would affect essentially every wholesaler currently in operation other than the two biggest ones, since they almost all warehouse in New Jersey, including our company. Imagine a landscape with only the two largest wholesalers remaining to work with. Selections would become painfully limited. Prices would most certainly rise. Service would plummet. Their pro-“at rest” argument (union warehouse jobs and revenue) is simply a veiled attempt by this wholesaler to destroy all of the fine wine wholesale competition, because most of your valued New York wholesalers would undoubtedly be forced to close their doors. We have contacted our State Senators to tell them that we oppose “at rest” in either legislation or budget language. We urge you to do the same before FRIDAY, MARCH 9th. Please contact your Senator to tell them you oppose “at rest.” We thank you for your time, your attention, and most of all your support.

  • Stop H.B. 139: Keep Housing Separate from DWS
    H.B. 139 is a bill that would place Utah's division of housing & community development into the Department of Workforce Services. Advocates and professionals who work in the housing field agree that DWS is not an appropriate administrator for housing & community development programs because their missions and business cultures are vastly different.

  • Oppose SB 1349 Vaginal Ultrasounds
    Sen. Winder, R-Meridian, introduced SB 1349 which requires a woman to receive an ultrasound before she gets an abortion. Even though Sen. Winder took the language out of the bill requiring the vaginal procedure, very early pregnancy ultrasounds can only be done vaginally in order to get a quality picture of the fetus for a physician to answer the question on the form proposed in the bill. The woman has to pay for the procedure even though she does not want it. Currently in Idaho, doctors may offer an ultrasound to women before an abortion, give out informational pamphlets, and provide information on adoption services. Idaho places no requirements on physicians to perform ultrasounds under any other circumstances. In fact no other medical diagnostic test is mandated by Idaho statute, revealing the true intent of the bill: to shame and discourage women from receiving legal and safe abortion services.

  • Properly fund research for pediatric cancer.
    Each and every schools day in the United Stated 7 children die from cancer and 46 children are diagnosed with cancer. It only gets a fraction of the funding that it deserves compared to all other cancers and pharmaceutical companies do not invest in reserch due to the lack of profits in developing cancer drugs for a smaller pool of patients as compared to larger groups of adult cancers. Profit should not be a factor when saving the lives of children is the topic.

  • Senators Chambliss and Isakson: Return the "Blue Slip" for Linda Walker and Natasha Silas
    The President has nominated two highly qualified women for federal judicial posts on January 26, 2011 and Georgia's U.S. Senators (Chambliss and Isakson) will not return a "blue slip" and allow all members of the senate the opportunity to fulfill their constitutional obligation to cast an up-or-down vote on these nominees. All the while, there have been vacancies in the District Court for the Northern District of Georgia.
