18,000 without jobs due to Hostess bankruptcy. CEO"s get 1.8 million in bonuses for bankrupting the company.

Ethanol added to gasoline causes a whole host of problems for automobiles and other machinery. Now the Federal Government is poised to increase the amount of ethanol in fuel and that could potentially cause an engine failure in your vehicle. This has to stop!

The home owners insurance in louisiana is ridiculous. We are worried that yearly high increases and no cap will force homeowners to leave our homes due to not being able to afford the mortgage anymore with outrages insurance cost.

After Sandy, hundreds thousands of people whose phone service is dependent on digital fiber-optic cables powered by electricity were cut off, and many cell phone towers were not functional, yet Verizon and AT & T are determined to stop offering and servicing the older, but more reliable "copper" service which has its own power source and is less likely to be affected by storms. Being without phone service poses a serious health and safety risk. The phone companies are public utilities whose priority should be to serve the public and not merely to enhance their already huge profits.

Companies everywhere are taking policies out on their employees and then cashing in (as if they need even MORE money) without so much as a donation to the funeral or family. Most companies (Winn Dixie, Walmart etc.) are doing it without consent! They must be exposed and stopped. This kind of policy should not be allowed.

I feel it unjust that CEO's, heads of various departments, politicians and board members should receive such high compensation and salaries while taking away from the "middle class". Wage cuts, reduced medical benefits, ESOP programs and retirements have been lost to corporate greed.

The foreclosure rate in Georgia is among the highest in the Nation primarily due to Legislation signed where lenders can eliminate several legal steps and expedite the process because of a document required at closing. Citizens of Geotgia are adversely affected by this law and it should be resinded and stop the influence by big businesses.

There are 24 corporations who have organic labels that donated almost half of the 46 million used to defeat Prop.37. At least a dozen of these companies supply Whole Foods. Whole Foods should not do business these companies if they really support no GMO.

I am an 80 year old woman needing to downsize from a gorgeous home in a fine school district. I refinanced at the height of the market. I had considered this home to be my retirement money but it is now valued at half of my original investment. I need help and lowering my payments does not give me the help I or anyone who needs to sell, the help we need. TaxPayers Bailed out the Banks, now we need help.

First it raised CEO compensation by 300% and upper management salaries by up to 200%. Then it laid off 18,000 workers who refused to take another deep pay cut.[1] Now Hostess Brands Inc. has asked a federal bankruptcy judge to allow it to pay $1.8 million in bonuses to top executives - the same people whose poor decisions put the company out of business to begin with.[2] This is a slap in the face to the thousands of families who will go without a paycheck this holiday season because a handful of people mismanaged the company into oblivion. Tell Hostess CEO Gregory Rayburn not to pay executives any bonuses until he puts the company's laid-off employees back to work.

Monsanto has insidiously, through either buying our government officials or some other nefarious method, usurped our power of choice over what we consume. There needs to be a moratorium on all Genetically Modified products that are consumed by animals and humans until they have been rigorously, independently tested. Countries are outlawing these products as poison. Our country needs to do the same! This effects the whole world!

We must have mandatory labeling of GMO-treated products in our food. Our only option is to avoid those top typical GMO foods altogether assuming all have been affected, so it would be in everyone's best interest to know which ones have and have not. This includes pet food also !
