We pay Steve King $174,000 a year to represent the 5th District of Iowa in Congress--that’s over $70 an hour. Yet, he recently tweeted, “We are debating the Stop Online Piracy Act and Shiela Jackson has so bored me that I'm killing time by surfing the Internet.” This tweet is a disgrace to the dignity of the office--if an employee of a private business tweeted that he was killing time on the company clock, that person would be fired.

Essex County College students face many issues that could affect their education, finances being a primary issue. With the advent of tablets and e-books and e-book readers, ECC has an opportunity to lower costs for students and to provide them with some technology that will assist in competing in the ever changing world of today. We are calling for your support to convince the administrators that a tablet or e-book reader included in the tuition would lower cost for students.

In the December 13, 2011 editorial, The Financial Times ("Kabila’s Charades Cost Congo Dearly" - FT.com), cites the Carter Center calling results of the "election" of incumbent President Kabila of the Democratic Republic of Congo as "lacking credibility". The Catholic Church, which had deployed 30,000 observers, also cried foul. FT.com concludes that Kabila should not be allowed to get away with fraud... The World should beware of complicity.

The 2012 National Defense Authorization Act, if signed into law, will signal the death knell of our constitutional republic and the formal inception of a legalized police state in the United States. Passed by the House on May 26, 2011 (HR 1540), the Senate version (S. 1867) was passed on Dec. 1, 2011. Now only one man -- Barack Obama, a scholar of constitutional law -- will make the decision as to whether the Bill of Rights he went to Harvard to study will be superceded by a law that abrogates it. Find your representa­tive and call them: http://www.house.gov/representatives/ Contact Your Representa­tive - Switchboar­d operator: 1-(202)-22­4-3121 Be Polite to Staffers who take your call.

In Colorado, two men who have loved each other for the past 30 years cannot get married. Two women who have shared everything with each other for the past 25 years can't even visit in the emergency room, because they are not considered family. Yet a man and a woman who have known each other for a few hours can go and get married at any time. Is this fair? Not at all! Colorado Legislature, legalize same-sex marriage and give the same rights to everybody.

Georgie Woods made a positive contribution to our community and the city. We need to recognize those people that made a positive contribution to our community in Philadelphia and hold elected officials accountable. If we don't stand for something, we'll fall for anything.

Greetings, This petition is about treating every human being equally and fairly. Prejudice has no place in our society. I am appalled and dismayed at the lack of impartiality and justice for the tenure of this color Professor. This is about a Woman Professor of color who has been denied tenure although her credentials are far superior to the faculty members who were granted tenure in last several years in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Auburn University.  I did some investigation myself and found out that this professor is the only faculty member in her Department to receive prestigious “Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE)” award from the President of USA. Please read the news at- http://clinton6.nara.gov/2000/04/2000-04-11-president-clinton-honors-outstanding-young-scientists.html http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P1-79276514.html How many PECASE awardees are there at AU? She has published closed to a dozen peer reviewed scientific articles in various science journals between 2005 and 2011 during her time at Auburn. Federal Government funding agencies who have funded her research work are National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Science Foundation (NSF) and United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).  How many professors do you have at Auburn University with funding from three major Federal Agencies such as NIH, NSF and USDA at the same time?  She is also a very sincere and a good teacher as rated by her students as well as by her peers. Why then has she been denied tenure?  How could you deny her tenure?  Is there a word called “shame” in Auburn’s dictionary? This is absolutely unjust. Do we want excellent scientists and teachers for our children or not?  Is it still 18th century for Auburn? Are we back to East Alabama Male College? It is hard to believe that discrimination is still continuing at Auburn University in this century.  She is the first color person to be hired on a tenure-track position in 2005 and the first color person to go up for tenure in that Department. What a shame! This is a public University. It does not belong to some prejudiced, self serving people and administrators. Auburn University gets a share of our tax money.  We have as much say as those few self-serving, prejudiced, ignorant, arrogant and intolerant folks who unfortunately could not keep up with the times. They are still in the 18th century.   Wake up, Auburn. Stop discrimination and injustice.  Embrace diversity.  Is Auburn University a public institution of higher learning?  Auburn, what are you teaching our children?  Please do not make us all feel ashamed of you. This Professor has my full support. I call on Auburn University to be champion on embracing diversity and justice by granting tenure to this Professor. It is a shame that this is happening when President Obama is our President. Thank you all for your time and I request your support for this petition and to stop this injustice, intolerance and discrimination.. Jean T. Baker

It is a legal fiction that a corporation is a person, but there is a dangerous precedent for it to become a reality. This definition would compromise the integrity of a person. A person is born, a corporation is created and that is a "born" date, but whereas a person can die, a corporation suffers no such finality. A person can lose their house if that person becomes sick, a corporation has no liability or responsibility for debts or to itself; but to others whose sole motivation is money. A person has a conscience. A guilty person is responsible for wrongs regardless of their name, but a corporation can change its name and be irresponsible for its former actions.
