New Jersey could face a water crisis similar to California if you don't release the Water Supply Master Plan. New Jersey’s population is growing, and we’ll need more drinking water in years to come. Yet the policies that ensure we have the water we need haven’t been updated in nearly two decades. It’s unacceptable that the state has not taken action to ensure clean drinking water for everyone.

We, your constituents, DEMAND that you take the lead in enacting real, substantial, gun control laws! We insist that the Unites States Congress pass laws that will close gun show loopholes, require criminal and psychiatric background checks for ALL gun purchases, require a record of gun safety training for anyone seeking to buy a handgun or hunting rifle, and restrict ownership of assault weapons to police and military personnel (since those people-killing machines are completely unnecessary for private self-defense, sport shooting, or any other non-military purpose). While it will take years to see the positive effects of such legislation, the time to act in changing the irresponsible and uncontrolled culture of the firearms industry is NOW. By all means move forward with new initiatives for treating mental illness, too. But do not use tired excuses claiming that such initiatives alone will prevent gun violence. Put the legislation to control firearms FIRST.

Each year, thousands of men, women and children enter the Orleans Parish criminal justice system; 85% of them are appointed a public defender. Yet, the Orleans Public Defenders remains critically under-funded and out-resourced by other criminal justice stakeholders. To have a fair and just criminal justice system, the Orleans Public Defenders must be fully funded and parity established.

Citizen Koch reports on the low-profile but highly influential activism of billionaires Charles and David Koch. Some television stations have been intimidated against broadcasting this documentary. We urge that the film be broadcast on New Orleans's WYES.

David Koch and his family money should NOT influence programming on public television! We want to see the film "Citizen Koch" aired on PBS!
