In many countries the CEO pay is no more than 40 times more than the lowest paid employee pay but in the US it is over 400 times higher than the lowest paid employee. To make the economy stronger we need to distribute the wealth more equitably. To start we probably need to make the initial ratio 100:1 for the first 5-10 years. The greed of corporate executives in the US is unconscionable. Our constitution says all men are created equal. CEO pay 400 times more than the lowest paid violates that basic principle of our founding fathers. The principles that made this country great . Destroying equality destroys this country. The Untied States of America s greatness is dependent on restoring the Founding Fathers principles. The Buffet Rule is not enough.

Tell Congress to enact Warren Buffet's plan: 1. No tenure/no pension-They will be paid while in office but not when they are no longer in office. 2. Past, present and future office holders will participate in Social Security and the money from the Congressional retirement fund be put into Social Security. They can purchase their own retirement plan just like we have to. 3. They can no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Pay raises will be based on the lower of CPI or 3%. 4. Congress will lose their health care and participate in the same health care as the American people. 5. All contracts with congressmen/women will be null and void. The American citizens did not make these contracts, congress did. 6. Anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of congress will be non elligible for re election.

From: The Professional Association of Day care Directors We, the undersigned, are opposed to the Early Learn RFP in it's current form. We raise the following seven areas of concern: (1) the timeframe for the RFP and implementation of Early Learn (2) the 6.7% provider contribution (3) unresolved labor and collective bargaining issues (4) a lack of a unified program assessment (5) the impact on family child care networks (no technical supports) (6) the lack of a provision for health insurance (7) and the lack of a demonstration project with an evaluative component on Early Learn. We are calling for the withdrawal of the Early Learn RFP until these issues are addressed. Agencies must have a reasonable opportunity to prepare for such a major change in our Child Care System and a study must be conducted to determine the impact of these changes.

When Congressional incumbents do not work to fulfill campaign promises and primarily promote special interests, ie: political blockages to votes on popular opinion bills, blatant political posturing as in voting against bills they introduced, voting to promote corporate profits against the health and welfare of humans, or voting to promote the interests of the top 5% of the richest Americans against the interests of the remainder their constituents (eligible voters) need an immediate remedy to correct for the incumbents' breach of office. Constituents need the option of directing the incumbents pay into an election fund as a remedy for this breach. Reelection is an insufficient remedy. When an incumbent is not working for the betterment of the majority of their constituency then they should not be paid by our government. Let the special interests pay them as a lobbyist (following those specific laws). Incumbents should not be rewarded for defrauding their constituents.

Listen up Calhoun County, Iowa! Our Board of Supervisors are not acting in our best interest. In Twin Lakes, they plan to file a lawsuit to seize the shoreline of 31 residents' shorefronts for public access. Homeowners can show proof dating back to 1855 that they have ownership. After 5 years of trying to compromise and communicate directly with the Board of Supervisors with no avail, it is time we take action! They have utilized over $67K of taxpayer money to hire lawyers to claim that our land that we purchased isn't our land, and they are still going and hired a third attorney! These funds could be crucial in improving Calhoun County parks and roads. JOIN US in demanding a public meeting to discuss their intentions, the use of our tax dollars, and to stop the harassment of Twin Lakes landowners!

NOT IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST - NO PUBLIC NEED -IMPACTS on CLIMATE CHANGE 1. Construction would harm the health and environments of humans, marine life and wildlife. 2. Operation of the compressor station would threaten our health from toxic air emissions. 3. Increased velocity of gas through 50+-year-old pipelines increases rates of corrosion that lead to fires and explosions. 4. Williams/Transco has a poor safety record. None of this gas is for NJ; we take all the risks without any benefits. 5. The NESE Project would undercut the clean energy goals of NJ & NY to fight impacts of Climate Change. 6. Reports show that there is NO NEED for this compressor station or pipeline. 7. There are alternative Clean Renewable Energy solutions.
