• Dental Coverage for seniors through Medicare
    Seniors on fixed incomes like my mom can't afford to have their teeth fixed. Medicare should be covering this. Instead seniors like my mom who have worked most of their lives can't afford to have their teeth fixed.

  • Safe Transportation for Seniors through Medicare
    Seniors who have worked certain amount of time should be provided with free transportation to shop and take care of their business through Medicare. It is dangerous for most seniors to be driving on the roads, and it is also not safe for them to walk in the streets. Today I was almost hit by a senior looked about eighty years old. She made a turn into oncoming traffic never saw the cars coming. This isn't the first time.

  • American Education
    I have seen first-hand issues that occur in schools. As a past teacher, teacher's aid, and student of education, I have a wide-variety of experiences that shed light on the current reality of our educational system. There is a reason why there are so many school shootings. There are reasons why America is falling way behind in education as compared to the rest of the world. The reason is because schools do not support 21st century teachers, and mediocre staff are allowed to continue with unchecked authority. We not only need skilled teachers, but KIND TEACHERS. Kids often feel isolated and alone, giving way to mental health issues.

  • Make A Difference Vote
    I am very disappointed that our country is so divided, and that there are so many elected officials that don’t represent the voice of their constituents but rather vote along partisan lines banked by high power lobbiests. Our country and our government are meant to be for the people by the people. We need a more humane government where regardless of political affiliation we work towards the common goals of economic, environmental and social justice. Please register, and please vote. It is the only way to make change happen.

  • Help Save McDee's Cat Colony
    McDee's Cat Colony has been in existence for 12+ years at the same location. Mattress Firm was aware of the cat colony when they purchased the property. Recently, Mattress Firm placed a padlock on the gate, preventing Caregivers from entering and tending to the colony. As a result, there were 3 cats found deceased in the shelters that may have been able to receive care. Also, Mattress Firm recently began Throwing Away all the Shelters, as well as Humane Trapping Equipment that was being used to trap 3 new cats that needed to be TNR. This action resulted in the birth of 5 kittens. Several attempts have been made to contact management to possibly cease any further action until Arrangements can be made for possible relocation by animal rescue groups. Mattress Firm told caregivers that the reason for evicting the cat colony was due to him and possible customers having allergies as well as flies in the area. Mattress Firm did not post any warnings about the cats or shelters needing removal. According to management, everyone is directed to contact corporate, who has yet to respond. Please sign to let Mattress Firm how Cruel and Inhuman their actions against homeless and defenseless cats were, especially with winter months approaching.

  • The Legalization of Marijuana in the state of Utah.
    Much Like prohibition, which banned the sale of beverages that contained more than 1.28% alcohol, Marijuana is currently a prohibited substance in the United states or America. 52% of all drug arrests in 2010 were for marijuana. Assuming these statistics were talking about arrests made for solely marijuana and not other factors that number is very high. But if we assume a portion of the number involved much more, the number is still significant. Many citizens who would be average law-abiding individuals have been incriminated by the current laws and thus brought unneeded trouble and stress to both citizen and government. If Marijuana was regulated like tobacco and alcohol is now days the government would be able to use the taxes for the betterment of its citizens. For example, in the Fiscal year 2010 the Federal excise brought the U.S. government about 15.5 billion dollars in revenue. This is a significant amount of money. To the comparison of prohibition, when the law was put in place, its original intent was to reduce crime, corruption, solve social problems and help the general health of the public. It failed. A couple of the ideas that promoted the law in fact back fired, for instance crime was not reduced but rose. Although there is much stipulation and controversy on the impact of marijuana on people’s health, alcohol and tobacco are also very unhealthy drugs that are legal and regulated. Although problems exist with alcohol and tobacco, and will arise with marijuana. As a whole the citizens will benefit from this legislation.

  • Save Columbia College Chicago! Support The Faculty Union
    The administration has used stalling methods and shown that they are not interested in securing a fair contract. They are interested in paying the least amount to anyone who will accept it for a dumbed down curriculum. There has been a decade of declining enrollment and our CEO continues to make over half a million dollars a year with salary and bonuses (!) while tuition increases and teacher salaries remain stagnant. For more details of the union's issues with CEO Kim, please visit CFACResources.com.
