Stop High-Stakes Testing for Elementary Kids! * High-stakes testing lowers the quality of education due to “teaching to the test”. It reduces time for the enrichment students need and enjoy, while increasing unhealthy emotional stress in our children. * Testing results belong to students and families. They should not be used to close schools, retain students or evaluate educators, and they should never be used for commercial purposes nor given to national databases. * Schools should be safe havens where students feel secure and cared for, not sorted and ranked by test scores. They should not be places where children feel inadequate, stressed and unsuccessful. No nine-year old should be told whether he is on the road to “college readiness”. It is absurd to try to make such predictions. * All tests and student results should be available to teachers and parents after test administration. They should be used only to inform parents and teachers about a child’s learning and to improve instruction. Tests should exist to serve students not politicians or for-profit testing companies. Based on the above, we support an immediate moratorium on high stakes testing in the State of New York. Testing exists to serve our students. Our students do not exist to serve testing.

Waste from hydrofracking is toxic, unregulated, and prolific. It's also being peddled for use on our roads and parking lots as de-icing 'brine'. We walk in it, drive in it, breathe it, and drink it. Stop the use of toxic brine, and disclose its locations and ingredients to the public.

NJ pols: Senior homeowners who have been taxed year after year should not be denied the property tax freeze enacted a few years ago to protect them from inexorably rising property taxes. Sandy hit many of us hard; don't hit us again!

In lieu of school shootings raise the youth hunting age w/ guns above 12 year olds.

Stop Governor Cuomo from using YOUR Federally funded disaster relief money to buy out desperate homeowners devastated by hurricane Sandy. You just can't make this stuff up! Say NO to Cuomo!!

Ban fracking (hydraulic fracturing, a toxic method of natural gas exploration) within New York State borders. The companies that extract our natural gas will be shipping it overseas to areas which will pay much higher prices than the U.S. would, raking in extraordinary profits, devastating our land, soil, and water, and impoverishing local economies.

Stop linking school taxes to home ownership. Add a line item to New York state tax ---- pay school based on what you earn, also tax state retires pensions.

Ban hydrofracking all across New York state
