Rename Old Chapel (UMass) after Edwin D. Driver
Edwin D. Driver was the first African American on the faculty of UMass Amherst in 1948. His office was in the basement of Old Chapel and he couldn't get an apartment in Amherst to live because of his race. He was not universally welcomed and endured discrimination, racial injustice, humiliation and hurt. We want to acknowledge him by renaming Old Chapel, or another building on campus, after him.

Hardworking People Against AB 928
Assembly Bill 928 is a reckless, poorly written legislative proposal. Whether it's for breeding, showing, rescuing, or keeping roosters for personal, cultural, or spiritual reasons, this bill undermines our way of life. It affects thousands across the state who cherish and maintain these animals as an integral part of our lives. Assembly Bill 928, under the guise of regulating cockfighting, does not distinguish between illegal activities and responsible rooster ownership. Legitimate breeders an...

The adoption and ratification of a new calendar for the United Global Trade Organization
To whom it may concern, I hope this article finds you well. **The Case for a New Calendar System Based on a Deck of Cards** The current Gregorian calendar, though widely accepted and functional, has long been criticized for its irregularities and inconsistencies. Months vary in length from 28 to 31 days, making planning and scheduling less intuitive. Adopting a new calendar system with "twelve plus one" months of 28 days each, and an additional "transition day" at the end of the year—would br...

Oppose Islamophobia Definition
We the undersigned oppose any government definition of so-called ‘Islamophobia’. We assert our freedom to expose and oppose the errors and violence of the Islamic religion and to bring the truth of the Gospel to Muslims. We deplore the inherent bias of the Government ‘Working Party on Anti-Muslim Hatred / Islamophobia’ in which every member is either a Muslim activist or, in the case of its chairman, Dominic Grieve KC, an apologist for Islam. We are dismayed that the sole focus of the ‘Working...

To Rupert Murdoch, Lachlan Murdoch, and all other shareholders and executives of Fox Corporation: On Wednesday, September 10, 2025, Brian Kilmeade casually suggested on "Fox and Friends" that we kill mentally ill/homeless people without benefit of trial, via involuntary lethal injection. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/9mq3oKI2KhY This is reprehensible, it is dangerous, and it is sick. As a network, Fox News is known for presenting content that is, to put it mildly, controversial. But t...
