Medical marijuana is a cost efficient, safe, and effective treatment for the symptoms of cancer, AIDS, multiple sclerosis, pain, glaucoma, epilepsy, and other conditions.

My Mentor Raphaelle Richardson And Norman Redwing use to work for Just Family Network. They are being treated with disrespect. Parents and Staff are lying and causing confusion with them. They have been nothing but good people and deserves respect.Our youth should be our top priority, but its not. This conflict needs to be settle the right way.I believe that "Lies are told to closed minded people to avoid conflict and retribution. A closed minded person can't handle the truth, doesn't want the truth and will punish the truth." Thats why we the YOUTH THAT CARE OF MEMPHIS want the truth. We want to be treated fairly and want our voices to be heard thats why we want them back.

Obama Care is not good for Florida

When Eden Foods' CEO Michael Potter first joined the federal lawsuit in opposition to the new requirement to provide birth control for female employees in any company health plan, he claimed it was a religious objection. Now, according to a recent interview in Salon [1], he's revealed that he doesn't want to cover it because he's a man. For private companies to claim that they should be legally treated like churches is bad enough, but to claim that they should be able to discriminate against their employees because the CEO is a different gender? Ridiculous. And reading through his comments, the more Potter talks, the worse it sounds. From Salon: “I’ve got more interest in good quality long underwear than I have in birth control pills, … Because I’m a man, number one and it’s really none of my business what women do,” Potter said. So, then, why bother suing? “Because I don’t care if the federal government is telling me to buy my employees Jack Daniel’s or birth control." Birth control is like long underwear? Like whiskey? No, Mr. Potter, birth control is healthcare. No company's employees should go without routine healthcare that they work hard to earn just because their boss thinks it's silly. Sign today to tell Mr. Potter and Eden Foods that birth control is an important healthcare service that should be covered by every health insurance plan.

My appeal is for compassion for a choice for a peaceful death when options have run out or pain has become unbearable in a hopeless situation. I implore the people of Florida to take a look at the laws passed in Oregon and Washington State that I have included in this petition.

The SSC program has impacted the lives and futures of thousands of students in Philadelphia, including myself. The has allowed many inner city students to pave their way towards college and a successful career path, it would be a shame if the program was forced to close.

Kentucky Home Birth Coalition is working to license direct-entry midwives using the Certified Professional Midwife credential. Kentucky Has a higher rate of home birth than the national average yet has no path to licensure for direct-entry midwives who provide the majority of care to these families. Women need access to quality maternity care regardless of their chosen place of birth. Certified Professional Midwives (CPM) are nationally credentialed midwives who are licensed in 27 other states and provide evidence-based and cost effective primary maternity care. More and more Kentucky women are choosing to give birth at home and need access to quality midwifery care. We urge the Kentucky legislature to vote yes to license Certified Professional Midwives.

Senate Bill 491 will go in front of the Senate Committee on Monday April 22, 2013. If the committee decides to pass it on, then it would go to a vote by the whole senate. I am currently required to have a collaborative agreement with a MD or DO. Obamacare, which is managed care for Medi-Cal recipients run by a private organization, will currently not allow me to contract with them. Therefore, my medi-cal patients will either have to pay out of pocket to see me or go elsewhere for their care. Please contact your state senator and ask them to vote YES on SB 491. The committee members are: Senator Curren Price, JR. (Chair), Senator Bill Emmerson (Vice-Chair), Senator Marty Block, Senator Ellen Corbett, Senator Cathleen Galgiani, Senator Ed Hernandez, Senator Jerry Hill, Senator Alex Padilla, Senator Mark Wyland and Senator Leland Y. Yee. Please contact any or all of these fine senators as well. Thank you.
