• Tells McDonnell and the VA Legislature: Let These Kids Go Home
    On February 3rd, the Virginia House decided to backtrack and make discrimination legal when it comes to adoption. After this law is passed, private and faith-based organizations will be legally protected from denying anyone the right to adopt or foster based on age, sexual orientation, political beliefs, disability, gender, family status or religion. We need to call on Governor Bob McDonnell and the state Senate for voices of moderation and reason by not signing this bill into law.

  • COMPREHENSIVE REAL ESTATE SOLUTION
    I know many people that bought Real Estate (including one family member) with the advise of a Real Estate Office and were advised by this office Lawyer to make the purchase under a corporation name. I do not know the reason for this ill advise but now those homeowners can not refinance under more favorable terms because the banks consider those properties as commercial real estate. I believe the government should differenciate between a large corporation and a single individual that incorporated to buy the property.

  • No Compromise on Women's Health
    The new federal health law requires that Catholic-affiliated organizations with a largely secular workforce and/or serving a secular public must purchase insurance plans that cover birth control. The Catholic Church claims that this is a violation of the Church's religious freedom, and members of Congress are already talking about the need to compromise the requirement or get rid of it entirely. Tell Congress to protect the religious freedom of the tens of thousands of women who, without the mandate, will either have to continue to pay ten times the typical price of the birth control pill or simply do without it.

  • Demand Both Contraceptive and ED Medication Coverage!
    We the voters of America demand that all organizations who take government funds to cover erectile dysfunction medication also cover birth control. If they cover one, they must cover both! Since the GOP in Congress and the GOP presidential hopefuls are against contraceptive coverage for women by insurance plans and vow to repeal the Affordable Health Care Act, the following bears discussion and action. Since Congress ensures coverage of erectile dysfunction medications in insurance plans, they must also ensure contraceptive coverage. One without the other is unfair to the American taxpayer. Please sign and share! Thank you.

  • Veto any FAA Reauthorization
    An aviation safety and security bill is no place to impose unrelated and controversial labor provisions that will ultimately serve to harm both airline and railroad workers. The proposed Railway Labor Act changes would drastically rewrite a statute that was crafted by labor-management cooperation and has not been changed for over 75 years without the agreement of both employer and employee representatives. Airline and rail workers would suffer significant losses as contracts are jettisoned, collective bargaining rights are cut and legal hurdles will be placed in the way of gaining a voice at work.

  • The Wrongful Incarceration of David Thorne
    David Thorne was wrongfully incarcerated in January, 2000 after being falsely convicted in the death of Yvonne Layne. He was implicated by a mentally and emotionally impaired man, Joseph Wilkes, after Joe was arrested and threatened by police officers. No evidence led to David Thorne except the coerced statement of Joe Wilkes, who has since recanted. Despite an enormous amount of evidence and numerous statements pointing to David's actual innocence, he remains behind bars. It's time for the truth to be told. We, the undersigned, support David Thorne's efforts to win a new trial in order to prove his innocence.
