Our children are suffering higher insidents of breathing problems these days.I would like to ban leaf blowers and compressed air blowers as the dust created from these devices are bad for our health.I liken it to second hand smoke. Example 1: Compressed air was used to clean the decks of welding debris,chop saw dust (galvanized metal) and other hazardess materials.This debris was blown out into the atmosphere of San Jose Ca.This went on for 18 floors. Example 2:I watched 5 little children playing in there fenced in yard.The gardener at the house next door began to blow.In the light of the sun I could see the dust envelope the children. The people in the city,the little children should not have to breath in debris from these blowers.It is time to get back to the rake and the room!

Over 200,000 senior citizens in Illinois are losing vital help to pay for their medications. This will force seniors to choose whether or not to take needed medcine(s). In many cases the cost of monthly premiums along with increased prescription costs will prove to be too much. The State of Illinois will probably see an increase in hospital and emergency room admissions due to people not taking needed and often life-saving prescriptions.

Justin died at a young age of two after consuming a burger with E. coli at a fast food chain. People have a right to know how animals are treated and fed so they can have a better idea of the quality of food they are eating.

Apparently one gets sued if one makes critical statements about grains or food in the United States. This is not right for a democratic society.

Studies indicate that if we had a health care system that is efficient as Europe's care system we'd have no deficit. This would return the nation to sound footing without the need for spending cuts and tax increases. WE finally would have a health care system that puts people first. The money saved could then be used to finance full employment, investing in education, infrastructure ( which according to Joseph Stiglitz the deficit will come down enormously).

Every member of Congress now has a complete health care package that includes excellent coverage and costs each Congressperson a fraction of what the vast majority of other Americans must pay for their health coverage. Given this advantage they enjoy, why should they be able to keep this and at the same time deny health care coverage for the rest of us? Please do not support this cynical approach to health care. Sign this petition to block them from keeping their plan while denying the American people the universal health care that the law provides.

Social Security is a senior's retirement plan.Paid for by them! Medicare is a senior's retirement health care plan. Paid for up front. Which servant of the people would allow the congress to steal those contracts from them. At the end of our lives when they think we are weak, they act as theif's

We ask that both Houses of Congress replace our current medical care and medicine program with the the same plan they have enacted for themselves and their families. Nothing more nothing less

The US spends more money than any other country for maternity care and has one of the highest maternal mortality rates. It has been shown that the majority of obstetric guidelines experienced by women are "not based on good and consistent scientific evidence." We think Americans must become educated on the state of our maternity care system and demand that changes to be made to promote physiologic childbirth, as well as accurate information for women to make informed decisions for their health care.
