As consumers, we have a right to know if our food has been genetically modified, and this should be labeled on our food. End of story. "A genetically engineered food is a plant or meat product that has had its DNA artificially altered in a laboratory by genes from other plants, animals, viruses, or bacteria, in order to produce foreign compounds in that food. This type of genetic alteration is not found in nature, and is experimental. The correct scientific term is "transgenics," and is also often referred to as (GE) genetically engineered. The Health Risks of Genetically Engineered Foods Are Unclear. Unlike the strict safety evaluations required for the approval of new drugs, the safety of genetically engineered foods for human consumption is not adequately tested. There have been NO long-term studies conducted on the safety of genetically engineered foods on humans." From http://www.labelgmos.org/ Additionally, there are significant restrictions or outright bans on GMO's in more than 50 countries including Germany, UK, Spain, Denmark, France, China, Russia, Poland, Japan, Mexico, Brazil, Australia, Italy, Saudi Arabia, and South Korea.

America's broadcast airwaves belong to "We the People." Radio stations are licensed to use our airwaves if - and only if - they serve the public's best interest. That means giving an unbiased account of the news of the day, and during elections, affording both major political party's candidates and their supporters equal time. During the 2012 Scott Walker recall campaign in Wisconsin, Milwaukee AM radio station WTMJ used its local talk radio shows to exclusively promote Republican Governor Scott Walker and his supporters, while refusing time to his Democratic opponent and his supporters. Media Action Center documented and then tallied every minute of on air "promotion" of Walker and filed a challenge to WTMJ's license for failure to serve the public interest as defined by the FCC. Now, WTMJ's parent company, Journal Communications, is fighting back. Journal Communications owns 15 television stations and 35 radio stations in 12 states. They are arguing that talk radio show hosts may use our public airwaves to exclusively promote candidates of one party because the shows are the same as “bonafide news.” The bonafide news term refers to an exemption from the "equal time" rule that broadcast media gets when it is covering a candidate in a legitimate news situation, such as a public event or campaign stop, or when it is airing a documentary type program. Conservative Talk Radio have been using our publicly owned airwaves to push a one-sided political agenda. Now they are asking the FCC to legally define this one-sided rhetoric as "Bonafide news." If the FCC redefines editorial opinion as "news," it will sound the death knell for truth in journalism as we know it. A Pew study revealed that already, nearly a quarter of the population believes that talk radio is in fact "news." That's a scary statistic – and one we can't afford to let grow. Talk radio combines fact with fiction, making it impossible for listeners to discern which is which. It is irresponsible, it's manipulative, and it's a violation of the rules that govern our public airwaves. One thing it is not: news.

Congress is representing corporations and lobbyist rather then the constituents who elected them. We need to put them to the test of competency by voting mid term, that our Congress is competent. This will keep them representing us rather then lobbyist and large corporations.

VIDEO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaBI-FRMkDA Elizabeth Warren grilled Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew on the Obama administration's opposition to breaking up the big Wall Street banks that are "too big to fail." As a solution, Warren endorsed the bipartisan bill by Senators Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) and David Vitter (R-Louisiana) to break up the big banks and prevent future bailouts. Join Elizabeth Warren in urging President Obama and Congress to end "too big to fail."

In the wake of Angelina Jolie’s exhortation for “every woman” to explore their risk of breast cancer, one company stands to make a staggering profit.The BRCA1 gene for breast cancer is patented by a corporation called Myriad Genetics. All patents are government-enforced monopolies over intellectual property, and they thus prevent anyone else from conducting research or testing on the BRCA1 gene without paying huge royalties to Myriad. This is why the BRCA detection tests cost $3,000 - $4,000 each. If there were no patents on human genes these tests would cost much cheaper . But since patents are allowed, Angelina Jolie's announcement of a double mastectomy even though she had no breast cancer caused the stock price of Myriad to skyrocket to a 52-week high. Our genes are ours, There is no right for a corporation to have a patent on our bodies and thereby make tremendous profits from health care! Why has the media drawn such attention to Angelina's act but ignored this basic fundamental flaw in the laws!

The oil and gas billionaire Koch brothers are trying to purchase the multiple spanish-language newspapers! It’s part of a larger bid to buy the Tribune Company’s media assets, which includes The Los Angeles Times and other major newspapers across the country in addition to Hoy, the second-largest spanish-language daily. The Koch brothers—David and Charles—are fossil fuel barons who have devoted their fortunes to bankrolling climate change denial, union busting, and the Tea Party. Now, they want to expand their radical right-wing propaganda to communities across the country by “Fox-news-ifying” local papers like Hoy. Hoy and El Sentinel readers are key stakeholders in the decision. By showing Tribune Company executives that the public counts on them for accurate and informative journalism, we can help persuade them not to sell to climate change deniers. We can’t allow respected journalistic institutions to become mouthpieces for the Kochs’ corrupt agenda.

I am finished with your greed and exploitation of workers. It's bad enough that you pay us – many of whom are adults with children – $7.25 an hour. But you also STEAL from us? You should be ashamed. It's time for fast food companies like yours to do the right thing. You can start by paying the men and women you employ like me enough to support our families. And then stop stealing from us. Stop bouncing paychecks. Stop forcing us to work unpaid and off the clock. And stop illegally deducting money for things like uniforms and trainings. Stop preying on us and help get the economy moving again.

Government by the people is increasingly under attack by big money in politics and corporate constitutional rights, and only an amendment to the U.S. Constitution can fix the problem. One avenue for passing a constitutional amendment requires a two thirds majority vote by the U.S. Senate. It is imperative that the position of our U.S. Senate candidates on this issue is clear to the voters. Government of the people, by the people, and for the people depends on it. Please join us in asking debate moderator Jon Keller to solicit the candidates stance on this important issue at the WBZ/Boston Globe debate on Wednesday June 5 from 7 to 8 p.m.

When the Benghazi tragedy occurred, during this previous fall, the GOP nominee made a public statement, despite his not representing the United States in any official capacity, denigrating the manner in which the events were handled. Recently, ABC News ran an exposé attempting to reinforce these same "talking points," and the GOP has consistently pursued a line of questioning, to personally make our President appear as though he was engaged in some cover-up. However, the ABC reporter, who claimed he saw those specific emails, did NOT, and furthermore, upon release by the President of emails related to this incident, the GOP changed and altered those emails highlighting those specific talking points in order to reflect negatively on our current President. Altering official governmental documents, in my estimation is worthy of an investigation by Darrell Issa and his committee. Of specific interest are the following: (1) Why did then GOP nominee Mitt Romney make a public statement denigrating the character of our current president only to make further disparaging comments accusing our president of mishandling the affairs, when all testimony points in another direction. (2) Why did the ABC News Reporter, who provided the main commentary for their expose on Benghazi, say he looked at the emails in question, only to find out later that he did not and placed the email content in his own words to fit his narrative? (3) Why is it that the GOP claims they are "outraged" over the loss of four American lives, but when holding these hearings, they have not addressed one single process issue which WAS responsible and articulated by the ARB (Accountability Review Board), while going on a "witch-hunt" trying to continue the false narrative that this President engaged in a cover-up. (4) Who was the ABC reporter's "source." Perhaps, this is the greatest issue, because once a source is deemed to be a liar, then it is incumbent upon all to find out who that source was. That is, they should not be protected by the protections afforded other integrity filled journalists.

Stop business paying congress, senators,the president from selling our country from the people who work for this country

I love Oreos! They are tasty as can be, but I'm not very fond of the creme center. I love the cookie part of an oreo and I wish that Nabisco would sell a "just cookie" oreo!
