• Choose a Side.
    We elected Leonard Lance to represent the interests of the people of New Jersey's 7th district in Washington. Instead he has signed an oath to Grover Norquist and moved directly in line with John Boehner and Mitch McConnell, devoting his energies to ineffectual, partisan politics, accomplishing nothing. It's time for Mr. Lance to reaffirm his allegiance to his constituents by working toward creating jobs and lifting up New Jersey's struggling middle class. NOW.

  • End High Stakes Testing In New Hampshire
    New Hampshire school children are spending too much time on standardized tests, practicing for tests and not enough time learning. These tests do nothing to actually help the students who take them. Worse yet, politicians are using the results of these tests to justify deep budget cuts for public schools and to punish good teachers. It's time to end the era of high-stakes standardized tests in New Hampshire.

  • Release TCE Final Health Assessment Report
    I would like to start a petition to President Barack Obama and Congress to please release the long-awaited report on the risks and health effects of the toxic substance "TCE" known as Trichloroethylene. Scientists at the EPA have completed the report but it was not released to the public on September 2, 2011 as planned and we deserve to know the results.

  • Turn Old Nuclear Test Sites into Solar Power Farms
    We need our energy to come from America; it's foolish to depend upon another nation for our power. We need a clean energy source; we're not going to do any more harm to our old nuclear test sites by turning them into solar power farms!
