The people are finally beginning to really rise up, and we hope this turns into a large-scale movement across all the country - "overturning the tables," so to speak. Stand up against greed! Stand up against corruption! Stand up FOR compassion, the working Americans, unemployed, and the large percentage of Americans in poverty. OCCUPY. Why
Good news on the health coverage front for young people. This is one of the first reports of good change that came from so called "Obamacare." All GOP presidential candidates say they will repeal it - we need to make them answer real questions, such as: so what exactly are you saying, you will take

We're waiting to hear of any changes in the program, hoping for a change of heart by Mayor Bloomberg. The country needs to come together united once again - we don't do that with "political correctedness" in the way, or by leaving God out. It is also a tragic thought that the work of some
