Monsanto is the largest Agricultural Corporation in the US. They have a monopoly on over 90% of our vegetable seeds. Obama has appointed an ex VP of Monsanto to serve as senior advisor for the FDA. Such a decision will allow even more dangers into our food industry, such as GMO's. we're asking President Obama to reverse his decision for the safety of American Consumers.

The decision to place any corporate executive into a cabinet position is a poor one, but the idea of allowing a Monsanto employee, former or current to sit in leadership of the Department of Agriculture's FDA is tantamount to not only letting the fox guard the henhouse but actually frying the chickens and hand-feeding them to Renard with a silver spoon!

Cut FDA ties to Monsanto

PPG Industries has been selling house paint high in lead content in the African nation of Cameroon for years, and although it says it stopped production of that paint late last year, it has rejected a request that it recall or accurately label its lead paints now selling in stores there.

Monsanto influence over and corruption of Food Policy

It is too expensive. It is unfair to the old, poor or immigrant community who do not have or use computers. It favors the well off who have enough money in the bank for the service charge to be waived.

I was in Gander Mountain in Madison Wisconsin on February 5th and was shocked to see National Rifle Association clothing. They support the purchase of clips like the one used on Gabby Giffords and the others injured or killed only 1 year ago. They are a major lobbying force and should not be supported, I Support banning Gander Mountain.

About a year and a half ago I signed a contract with ADT to protect my daughter's house after she had the door knocked down and intruders came in to take her belongings. I signed a three year contract to pay $45 a month plus I paid them over $200 up front to install the electronic equipment. The house my daughter was renting has now been forclosed on and she can no longer live there. She has moved in with me. I do not want the equipment, I have several large dogs. Now I am being forced to pay two more payments of $45 and a $750 penalty. I feel this is totally unfair and amounts to poor and middle class people being disadvantaged.

Florida State Rep.Rachel Burgin (R) introduced legislation to reduce corporate taxes but forgot to remove the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) mission statement from her bill. She did not write this legislation, ALEC did. ALEC is backed by large corporations who have corrupted our political process. Rachel Burgin has failed to represent the interests of Floridians and has instead taken her marching orders from corporate puppet masters. Occupy Naples Florida calls on Rachel Burgin to resign immediately.

Millions of people are not given choices as to what channels they want to watch and end up paying for numerous channels they don't watch at the discretion of Comcast. I believe I am at the mercy of Comcast in having to pay expensive monthly service fees for channels that I never watch nor care to watch. Why can't this company say they will provide channels at $2.00 a month and we can choose our stations and charges. I don't have any experience with dish TV but they are the probably similar. It seems ludicrous that if I want to enjoy cable TV, I have to accept these outrageous charges for channels I don't watch. Policymakers in Washington, please help us (especially those on fixed incomes) to direct cable companies to provide affordable, sensible consumer specific services.

The SEC routinely grants waivers to large companies Wall Street companies who break laws and regulations. 1 Regular people don't get waivers if they break a law. 2 Unequal enforcement of the law is not a free-market, it's crony capitalism. The SEC should not have the authority to issue such waivers, they should just enforce the laws and regulations.

PG&E will now charge any customer who opts out of a smart meter a $75 opt-out fee. In addition to the $75 you will be charged an additional $10 a month. PG&E has admitted that tens of thousands of its meters are not working properly, are not giving proper readings, and there are bills that they have to estimate and this is a really big problem, Smart meters have been shown to have a toxic effect from exposure to microwave and radio wave radiation the meters emit.
