  • Save Cooper Union Without Tuition
    Since 2011, the severity of Cooper Union’s financial crisis has catalyzed an enormous response from its community of faculty, students, alumni and staff. Together we’re determined not only to preserve, but to better, Cooper’s foundational mission of free education. We’ve channeled our collective energies into an open, yearlong brainstorming process focused on preserving a tuition-free Cooper Union. Our results, published in the community-authored report The Way Forward, are based on three straightforward principles: 1. Our mission is not fungible; 2. Our best shot—and it’s a good one—is to tackle spending and live within our means; and 3. in our fight, as in our school, we are united. Please sign below in support of Cooper Union's historic mission and visit these links for more information: http://friendsofcooperunion.org http://cusos.org http://www.facebook.com/groups/SaveCooperUnion

  • Hawaiian Air price fixing is prejudiced against local people
    Inter-island travel is essential for keeping Hawaii families connected. Hawaiian Air doubled the price of inter-island tickets since Aloha Airlines and the ferry was forced out of business. There are no longer discounted kama'aina, senior, or youth rates, and no more coupon books for frequent travelers, so it is prohibitive for people to visit their children, grandchildren and family. We are calling on our government to take action.

  • Test the DNA in Hank Skinner's Case!
    Hank Skinner is set to be executed in Texas on Nov. 9, 2011 despite uncertainty about his guilt which could be resolved by testing evidence that has never been tested. Prominent Texans, including current and former elected officials and former prosecutors, judges and law enforcement, have joined the growing chorus calling for DNA testing. Several jurors from Mr. Skinner’s trial have even expressed concern that the DNA testing has not been done. It’s just common sense to test the DNA evidence in Mr. Skinner’s case so that there can be certainty.

  • Congressional Reform Act of 2011
    The citizens of this country are disillusioned with politicians in general and congress in particular. This issue has circulated fast an furious via email, even from people who are normally not interested in politics. The 26th amendment (granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds) took only 3 months & 8 days to be ratified! Why? Simple! The people demanded it. That was in 1971...before computers, e-mail, cell phones, etc. Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took 1 year or less to become the law of the land...all because of public pressure.

  • Thank you, Albany County DA P. David Soares!
    In a sane and civil response to the Occupy Movement, Albany County (NY) District Attorney P. David Soares is refusing to prosecute Occupy Albany participants for their peaceful exercise of their First Amendment rights. In response to orders from NY Governor Andrew Cuomo and Albany Mayor Jerry Jennings, Soares saw the wisdom of a peaceful law enforcement response, saying: “The protesters have been fine. We’ve been maintaining a great dialogue with the organizers and for the most part a lot of credit should go to the organizers for maintaining a wonderful protest.”
