Say NO to the "Foundation of Excellence" created by Gov Snyder's financial chair, and corporations to work like a Payday cash advance place. Their donation will privatize Kalamazoo Michigan by companies like Monsanto, Pfizer, Marathon, and large corporations

In the three years since the Voting Rights Act was gutted, racist attacks on the right to vote have become all too common. You must immediately pass the Voting Rights Advancement Act to restore critical protections against voter suppression.

We support Rep. Ocasio-Cortez' plan to draft legislation for a Green New Deal that addresses the climate crisis. The urgency of the crisis requires that we include ALL types of clean energy so we eliminate emissions sooner, rather than focusing on a subset of options, i.e. renewables. We want a Green New Deal that targets reducing emissions ASAP and eliminates the growth of natural gas, which we can only do by focusing on achieving 100% clean energy.

Second Chance Resources Group, Inc. organized the Community Affairs Bureau into an initiative that could serve each council district and help each council member to address the myriad of issues faced by so many within all 51 council districts.

The new tax bill affects every American. It is mandatory that anyone voting on this bill should have read the document in its final form. We deserve to know that what is being voted on is actually understood in all its manifestations and applications before it becomes the law of the land.

NAFTA gave vast new powers for corporations that make it easier to offshore jobs and attack the environmental and health laws on which we all rely. Deals like NAFTA give multinational corporations the power to sue the U.S. government in front of a tribunal of three corporate lawyers. These lawyers can order U.S. taxpayers to pay the corporations unlimited sums of money, including for the loss of expected future profits. The multinational corporations only need to convince the lawyers that a law protecting public health, or the environment violates their special NAFTA rights. The corporate lawyers' decisions are not subject to appeal. This corporate power grab is formally called Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS). There is one clear litmus test to judge whether NAFTA or any agreement is designed to benefit people or if it has been hijacked by special interests to expand corporate power: Does the deal include Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS)?

Journalists should be held to standards. Brian Williams was suspended from NBC News for 6 months for lying about being in combat. Bill O'Reilly must likewise be suspended for his false statements about being in combat in the Falklands.

We call on Jimmy John’s to end their oppressive non-compete policy that prevents sandwich makers and cooks from getting jobs at any place that makes sandwiches even years after leaving the company.
