We have seen many agile people walking briskly to and from their vehicles. They poses a parking permit only because they are over 50 and have asked their doctor for one or they are using their parent's permit. I can't tell you how many times I have had to leave the supermarket and other shops because all of the handicap parking spots are filled. I have observed that at least 80% of the spots are occupied by people wjho simply don't need to park in them. If they can walk all over a superstore they can certainly walk from a regular parking spot. Strangely, these same people never use the electric shopping carts. Revoke all handicap parking permits in New York State and replace them with permits that have more stringent requirements for doctors who issue them.

GMO use in our food supply is causing so much disease in the masses. Monsanto is the most irresponsible and greedy company on this planet. We all need to get our Lawmakers to eradicate GMOs , as they do in Europe and other countries, before we all become ill mutants.

"WHO encourages countries to better recognize midwifery as a profession and support midwives as an essential pillar of the maternal and newborn healthcare workforce." This quote is taken directly from the World Health Organization's website. The women of NC certainly deserve to have the right to choose midwife-assisted birth without anyone coming under threat of arrest. The Certified Professional Midwives of NC have been asking to be licensed, but until now the state has refused. Please speak out and insist that House Bill 522 / Senate Bill 662 "The Licensing of Certified Professional Midwives" is passed this session!

If the American people are unable to provide adequate, if any, health insurance for their own families, why are we contributing to the health and welfare of those without any concern for us? Why are we paying to keep them and their family members healthy while our own go without coverage? Why are we told to sacrifice time and time again while they are provided better insurance coverage than we could ever hope to have all the while ignoring our needs? ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!! It is time for the members of congress to experience what we are dealing with on a daily basis. It is time to end their current healthcare coverage and require them to pay their own way just like the rest of us. WE ARE TIRED OF CARRYING THEIR LOAD WHILE ALL THEY DO IS TAKE AND TALK!!!

Release of the FDA of the drug Hecepitin to treat cancer patients

Every year thousands of people are on life support and have no hope of recovery. Support a bill that will allow people to die with dignity.

I think this is a very important issue, because of the economy, and what has become the new world we live in. I feel there should be some type of law guarantees medical benefits for part time workers. My son has been employed at Giant Supermarket for five years, listed as part time, but scheduled work hours are full time, yet he has no medical coverage. There should be some compensations for employees. that have no choice but to accept this type of employment due to the lack of full time work. Without the risk of being terminated because they deserve medical coverage. Thank You

The miniscule amout of Eating Disorders treatment was recently cut from the state budget. It is true that there is outpatient, individual therapy, but higher levels of care are desperatly needed, especially since insurance companies, like CDPHP have little treatment facilities in their network.

The people are being exploited by drug makers, drug marketers, drug sellers, the CDC, and law enforcement. Things need to change, and the power must shift away from these bullying tactics that are being employed. Corporate profits are draining our communities of stability, and any hopes of longevity.
