As the list of animal-derived ingredients in foods and other products grows (gelatin, glycerin, some "natural flavors", etc.), vegans and vegetarians have an increasingly difficult time shopping and eating out at restaurants. Mandatory labeling on foods (and shampoo, toothpaste, etc.) and menus would get rid of the guesswork for this growing demographic, presumably increasing their options and promoting commerce.

BLM IS USING OUR TAXPAYER MONEY NOT TO MANAGE LAND BUT TO MASS MURDER UP TO A MILLION FREE MUSTANGS ACROSS THE USA., ENGAGING IN HORSE GENOCIDE AND STERILIZATIONS, HOLDING OF WILD HORSES IN HORSE CONCENTRATION CAMPS WHERE THEY SUFFER STARVATION, DEHYDRATION,NO MEDICAL CARE, OVERCROWDING, AND KEEPING ALL TAX FREE PROFITS FROM SALES AND EXPORTS OF HORSES TO MEXICO AND CANADA FOR SLAUGHTER, RATHER THAN COMPENSATING OR REFUNDING THE AMERICAN PUBLIC WITH THESE PROFITS. FURTHER, BLM HAS BEEN CONTINUALLY IN FEDERAL VIOLATION OF THE WILD HORSES AND BURROS PROTECTION ACT OF 1971 WHICH PROHIBITS THEIR HORSES' GATHERS AND REMOVALS OF HORSES FROM THEIR NATIVE AMERICAN PUBLIC LANDS AND PROHIBITS THE MURDER, STERILIZATION AND ABUSE OF THESE HORSES AND CAPTIVITY.

It's about garnering the support of mainstream America to empower the largest grassroots political revolution on the planet.

Corporate America is all about private property rights... except when it comes to your personal financial information. They lobbied Congress to effect the current "Opt-Out" system where they have free use of your personal information unless you go through their procedure to restrict its use. That's not right. That information is your property and they should get your permission to use it.

We have a trade imbalance that has averaged around $600 billion a year for the last decade. Why? "Free" trade brings cheap goods here to the U.S. We are facing unemployment problems here in America why? "Free" trade us putting American workers in direct competition with foreign workers making $4 and hour. If we put tariffs back up, the price or goods would go up - making it possible to produce here and giving the government the money needed to stimulate job growth, without borrowing.

Dog and cat overpopulation forces over 4 million animals to be euthanized each year at public shelters. In addition to the cost in lives, there is a financial and emotional cost to this problem. The aim of every town or city with a public or private shelter should be to first reduce animal population through low cost spay/neuter surgery and education, including trap, neuter, release and management of feral cats, second, increase adoption campaigns to find homes for existing animals, and third, strive for a "No Kill Shelter" within the next five years.

According to the U.S. Geological Survey, fracking (the fracturing of shale underground to extract natural gas) is directly linked to recent damaging earthquakes in Oklahoma.

Newspapers tell you that the Republicans have "filibustered" President Obama's jobs bill. This is not true. They've THREATENED to filibuster, which is how they have blocked countless progressive measures. I say, LET THEM FILIBUSTER!

When home health care services for Pima County were contracted to a private company, PCOA for All, a promise was made to employees that they would not lose their existing pay and benefits. Now PCOA for all is failing to honor that commitment by proposing cuts to employee benefits and less than living wage increases in pay. At $9.60 an hour, these workers are well below median wage for their profession and have not had a wage increase in over 7 years. The company is offering a 19 cents per hour wage increase, but offsetting this modest increase by approximately $1 per hour in decreases to employee benefits, in what effectively amounts to a pay cut. . Tell PCOA For All Board President Jim Murphy that low wage workers deserve at least $10 per hour for providing critical quality care in our community! You can help by signing the below petition and calling Board President Jim Murphy: at (520) 243-8071 to tell him what you think.
