(1) Because the unconstitutional COGCC is a "captured agency" of the Colorado Oil & Gas Fracking Industry. (2) Because WE THE PEOPLE OF COLORADO are injured and continue to receive injury to our persons, posterity and property, because the Oil & Gas Fracking Industry in Colorado operates under the impunity of "moral hazard". Therefore, WE THE PEOPLE OF COLORADO hereby exercise our First Amendment rights and demand of you nine Members of Congress an expeditious "Congressional Inquiry" into the constitutionality and legality of the COLORADO OIL & GAS CONSERVATION COMMISSION ACT.

Mount Manresa is at risk of being destroyed for housing. The destruction of the environment and trees which have been here for hundreds of years are vital to the community. The community infrastructure cannot handle the overdevelopment planned for the Mount Manresa site. Eminent Domain can be used for establishing parks and setting aside open space for future generations, preserving places of historic interest and remarkable natural beauty, and protecting environmentally sensitive areas. This petition is to save Mount Manresa using eminent domain.

Newspapers need to stop publishing letters that deny climate change.

My daughter, Belle, is an animal lover and has been since a baby. She wants to be a Veterinarian but also wants to teach Humans to communicate with animals. Right now the only communication We can do with animals is for them. We discuss current events in my house and when my daughter learned Eagles were dying and our Government allows it, she cried. I had the same reaction when I heard about extinct Pandas, Tigers and Monk Seal. For them I ask President Barack Obama to require Windmill companies to use bird deterrent devices.

I am a conservationist and educator who deeply cares about biodiversity. As the disappearance of cougars has led to a trophic cascade of disappearing native birds, invertebrates and plants (see http://www.cof.orst.edu/leopold/cougars/OpenHouseposter.pdf), I was aghast when I learned that cougars attempting to recolonize the East are being killed -- without punishment from many states' local authorities! In order to re-establish a more balanced ecosystem, keystone predators must be allowed to recolonize the eastern US.

The nation’s largest children’s radio network, Radio Disney, has joined forces with the Ohio Oil and Gas Association to deliver a musical roadshow to kids that promotes fossil fuel extraction and fracking under the guise of teaching them “science.” (1) The show has already been delivered dozens of times at schools and county fairs across the state. Worse yet, it is being considered for expansion in 2014. As the mom of two young boys who love Disney movies and music, and also as the Director of Climate Parents, I believe that a family-focused brand like Disney has no business peddling dirty energy to our kids. At Radio Disney’s “Rocking in Ohio” roadshow, popular DJ’s lead kids in games—such as a pipeline building contest—that promote oil and gas drilling in a festive atmosphere where pop music blares and kids receive Disney-themed prizes. There is no mention of the fact that burning fossil fuels is polluting our air and water, giving our kids asthma, and creating dangerous climate impacts like superstorms and droughts that endanger our communities. It's no surprise that the fossil fuel industry would want to partner with Radio Disney, which broadcasts in more than 35 markets around the country and online and calls itself the "unrivaled broadcast radio network for kids and families." (2) Rhonda Reda, who works for the Ohio Oil and Gas Association, said of the roadshow, "It allows science to be fun. Who better to help than Radio Disney?" (3) But if Radio Disney were really interested in teaching kids about the relationship between science and energy, it would champion energy that is "kid safe and climate safe"--not carbon polluting fossil fuels that put children at risk. Parents and families are Disney's most important customers. If enough of us speak out, we can compel them to end this misguided roadshow immediately. Please sign our petition. SOURCES: 1.

As a neighborhood family physician, I have an obligation to my community and the people of our country and planet to create a safe environment for living and re-creating healthy food options (remember, before World War II, all food was organic). Chemical pesticides are toxins, plain and simple; like all chemicals, the effect is dependent on the dose: at high doses, they are literally the same chemicals used for chemical weapons, at medium doses, they cause poisonings, at low doses they will contribute overall poor health and higher rates of disease. Additionally there are less vitamins in foods grown with pesticides - causing illness and disease in this way as well. Another problem with our food is the inhumane, unsanitary, and disease causing practice of raising animals in feed lots or cages and feeding them foods and antibiotics they were never intended to eat; this makes their meat, milk, and eggs unhealthy and disease causing. I hope to see the day when our country and world's food supply is again nourishing and healthy for all people and animals. Sincerely, Shay Shahram "Shay" Hosseinion, MD Family Physician Portland, OR

Unlike uranium, thorium burns almost entirely, with little residue that decays relatively quickly. We need safe grid support besides solar and wind in order to break our addiction to fossil fuels. America began this journey 40 years ago, and now it's time to finish the job.

I have created a petition to demand the removal of fluoride from our water supply. I am personally affected by this issue because I, like everyone else in the world, require water to survive and should not be consuming or bathing in water containing fluoride as it is a highly toxic chemical. By adding this neurotoxin to the water supply, it devastates the health of all living things as well as our environment.

The issue of replacement power for the San Juan coal plant is perhaps the most important energy decision that is looming and will have enormous consequences for at least the next 20 years. PNM’s abandonment and replacement power filing - Is not the lowest cost solution; Is not the best environmental outcome; Is not the best jobs outcome; Locks in fossil fuel energy when an avalanche of scientific data demonstrates that we must transition from the burning of fossil fuels to renewables.

Kahuku has long been at the forefront of developing wind energy. We are proud of that. However, we absolutely reject this proposal that will effectively surround our small rural community with multiple 500' tall wind turbines that will alter our landscape and have negative impacts on our schools and close knit community. For our personal well being, this project must be stopped.

We must act now to limit the increasingly catastrophic consequences of global warming and climate change (more extreme weather, droughts, rising sea levels, changes in water availability) of which the burning of fossil fuels is the primary culprit. Our own survival, as well as that of thousands of other species, is in question.
