• End Daylight Savings Time
    Daylight Savings Time is an outdated relic from another era long since passed. It is confusing, useless and unnecessary. DST disrupts your internal clock & biorhythms, in addition to it being completely annoying changing the time on every last appliance that has a time display. So along with other useless wreckage and lumber (ie. dial up internet, typewriters and betamax) it is LONG overdue time for DST to be thrown onto the scrap-heap of history!

  • "Innocent until Proven Guilty" The Truth Behind Capitol Punishment
    The U.S Supreme court recently denied an pardon for Troy Anthony Davis a man that may have been innocent to not be executed. Meanwhile days prior Samuel David Crowe a murderer who pleaded guilty was spared from lethal injection and commuted his sentence to life in prison. We can not let this kind of injustice go on. Although Troy life has ended his voice can still be heard through us so this will not happen anymore. Let's take a stand today. Let's say no to Capital Punishment

  • Vote Against Public Employee Domestic Partner Benefits Restriction Act
    Recently, the Michigan House of Representatives passed HB 4770, the Public Employee Domestic Partner Benefits Restriction Act, and HB 4771, an amendment to 1947 PA 336. Together, these bills seek not only to prevent our universities and colleges, schools and public services from providing health benefits to the domestic partners of public employees, but they also seek to strip health benefits from people who have already negotiated contracts extending these benefits to domestic partners. This legislation is not only morally reprehensible but also economically myopic.

  • QUALITY EDUCATION FOR ALL
    Our democracy rests on sound, universal public education. The same range and quality of programs must be available to all students. Let's take a leaf from the notebook of Rahm Emmanuel when deciding where to send his children to school, and demand that all students get the U. Of Chicago's Lab School Curriculum!

  • Petition to Protect Grass Roots History!
    Wells Fargo Bank's past mortgage policy is currently undergoing public scrutiny for redlining and oher questionable policies and practices in ethnic communities prior to the foreclosure debacle. In that "rush to profits" the legacies of Matthew and Katye Anderson (both now deceased) are due to be destroyed with the pending foreclosure of their home, a site earmarked as a potential historical property. Propelled by issues unrelated to the housing crisis, this home, once owned by Katye, an international educator and United Nations honored advocate for children and Matthew, one of the eleven original creators of the final incarnation of the electronic computer in 1951, is now at risk. To date, Wells Fargo has declined to discuss and review any of its potential errors and misfeasance. In contrast, these two individuals, both nominated for the President's Medal of Freedom, have contributed greatly to American history. But their legacies are nonetheless being obliterated by residual insensitive and unyielding bank bailout policy. We seek a campaign that will strongly urge Wells Fargo and its President, Donald Stumpf and the Board of Directors to an open and good faith review of events in the attempt to amicably resolve the situation leaving open a window to history and children's futures. Profits generated via questionably originated documents should not be a part of the banking industry's agenda in America. Wells Fargo should be in support of its future constituents (the children of the world) and should not endorse children's future misfortune due to errant banking policies. We ask that before October 7, 2011, Wells Fargo do all within its power to assure the success of that project and not undermine that endeavor with another socially destructive foreclosure.

  • SAVE YOUR MAILMAN'S JOB
    A 2006 law requires the Postal Service to massively pre-fund the cost of future retiree health and pension benefits over the next 75 years in just 10 years time. This covers current employees, AND employees who have YET to be hired - and it is on top of the cost for benefits for current retirees. NO OTHER COMPANY OR AGENCY IN AMERICA IS REQUIRED TO PRE-FUND FUTURE RETIREE BENEFITS. Two audits have found a surplus of $50 to $75 billion in the portion of the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS), which covers these requirements. The solution has been introduced as H.R. 1351, which would allow the USPS access to its own money, funds that are in excess of what they will ever need to pay for pensions, and offer a responsible way of dealing with its financial crisis. All this, and not costing any TAXPAYER DOLLARS. H.R. 1351 currently has 193 co-sponsors from both political parties. A different bill has been presented by Rep. Darrel Issa, the so-called Postal Reform Act, H.R.2309, which calls for cutbacks, layoffs, NO Saturday delivery, and would basically KILL the Postal Service. H.R. 2309 has a co-sponsorship of ONE. This bill needs to be stopped before it ever reaches a vote.

  • Governor Dan Malloy: It is time to implement the new license for MSW (LMSW)
    Legislation was passed over a year ago for the implementation of the new license for MSW (LMSW). This legislation is still not implemented and has created much hardship for MSW graduates to obtain jobs. The National Association of Social Workers(NASW) was informed by the state Governor/legislature, that there were no funds to implement this license. It is time for the governor and or legislatures to act now and implement this license. Many organizations/agencies are requiring MSWs to have a license in order to get a job. It is very important that this legislation be implemented.

  • Petition to Invite God to School
    The purpose of this petition is to restore America's schools back to being the world's leader in educating our children. At this point in time we cannot succeed without God's help. We must stop being hypocritical by proclaiming, "In God We Trust" but not trusting Him with the fundamental institution which is the foundation of our great society. Until we rely on God's power our schools (and our society) mores will continue to detriorate.
