When Texas Sen. Ted Cruz said that 7 million people will lose their insurance under Obamacare, he was lying. Politifact called him out. When Ted Cruz said President Obama "granted all of Congress an exception" to Obamacare, he was lying. Politifact called him out. Now Sen. Cruz has taken this show on the road. He spent the past month dining off his dishonest talking points with party faithfuls in New Hampshire and Iowa when he should have been attending to the needs of his constituents. Taken as a whole, it seems more about Ted than Obamacare. Or Texas. Because if he cared about Texas, he'd be doing something about the 4,4400 children who won't go to preschool because of the budget cuts forced by sequestration. Or asking why Texas is among the states with the most low paid workers in the country. If he weren’t lying about Obamacare, he might deal with the sad fact that his state has the highest proportion of uninsured the country.

A Gwinnett County school bus driver backed on top of my vehicle and I sustained cervical spinal injuries, and neurological damage. I underwent the Anterior Cervical Discectomy Fusion (ACDF) on April 16, 2013. Shortly, after the surgery, it was discovered that the Georgia Legislature updated Statues O.C.G.A. 36-92-1 and O.C.G.A. 36-92-2 in 2005, but EXEMPTED School Districts from complying with O.C.G.A. 36-92-1 and O.C.G.A. 36-92-2. Meaning that Georgia School Districts are not required to carry insurance coverage on their school buses.These statues need to be revised because the public's safety is in immense danger. Here's what you need to do to get involved: 1. Join other Georgians by signing this petition. 2. Make sure you opt in to receive updates from me and this campaign.

On the evening of August 29, at approximately 6:15 pm, I brought my 12 week old miniature schnauzer, Kobe to Banfield Pet Hospital at 3780 Riverchase Village, Hoover, AL 35244 because we noticed labored breathing of Kobe. At home, around 4 pm, Kobe appeared to be in distress and exhibited labored breathing. We rushed him to the facility per the request one of the staff members who answered the phone. Upon arrival, we advised the staff of Kobe’s condition, they immediately took him in for examination, but before they would render any service, they wanted to know how we would be paying; it appeared that their main concern was the method of payment we were using versus Kobe’s well-being. We were told that Kobe’s condition appeared to be from trauma, which we knew was inaccurate, as Kobe had not experienced any type of trauma. Kobe was a "house dog" who we took extra special care of. On the day prior, August 28, Kobe came into Banfield for his scheduled immunization and well-puppy check-up. During the emergency visit on August 29th, the vet constantly asked, did anything happen after the shots? She asked numerous of times throughout the visit about the shots, this raised red flags for me eventually. I had to wonder was she asking because they were aware that something happened during his immunizations. When the hour approached 7 p.m., we were advised that the facility was closing, therefore, their work was done and we needed to take Kobe to a local emergency animal hospital 10 miles down the street. Kobe was barely breathing when we were sent away. He was gasping for air. While we were rushing out of the facility, with the hopes that Kobe’s life could be saved, we were approached and informed by the billing account manager that she forgot to charge us for blood work, after we had already paid over $600...I had my puppy in my arms dying, while being harassed for more money. How insensitive! My only concern was getting Kobe to the emergency hospital. She advised me that she would send my account to collection on the same day for the additional $126 if I didn’t pay immediately….they were full aware that Kobe was in grave condition, but the only concern for Banfield’s staff was the money. I told her to do what she needed to do because I was rushing Kobe to the hospital in hopes of saving his life. The vet and facility manager alerted the Animal Hospital that we were on the way there. The facility manager of Banfield then asked me how I planned on paying for the services at the animal hospital because it would run in the tune of a couple of thousands of dollars. She then offered me a credit care application, because of her assumptions that we could not pay for the services, she then alerted the animal hospital that we would applying for credit (again based on her assumptions). We finally arrived at the animal hospital were Kobe was immediately placed on oxygen and administered meds. We were approached as to how we would be paying for his care because it appears that Banfield relayed that we would need credit to pay for continued care. It was speculated that Kobe was more than likely over-immunized or had some type birth defect. If it were the latter, it should have been detected by Banfield during his prior visits; especially since he was seen less than 24 hours prior was his check-up. Kobe’s condition worsened in minutes…he was in so much distress that the vet suggested that we should opt to euthanize Kobe. We experienced the worse nightmare and watched Kobe take his last breath. We were told that he suffered from epistaxis, pulmonary edema, labored breathing and respiratory distress. It is puzzling to me how a very healthy 12 week old puppy, who was examined and immunized less than 24 hours prior is now deceased. I am completely stunned and outraged as to the way my family and I were treated in a crisis. Kobe did not deserve to die. Neither the staff nor the vets at Banfield showed any compassion; their one and only concern was money. I contacted the store on the following day and spoke to a staff member to settle the final bill of $126 and was advised that the billing account manager had already sent my account to collections in less than 10 hours. This was unbelievable! I did, however fulfill my final financial obligation with Banfield. I asked to speak to the store manager and was advised that she was off for the next couple of days. I finally was able to reach the store manager two days later to advise her as to what happened. Although she was very apologetic, this didn’t rectify why Kobe died literally in the hands of Banfield’s neglectful staff and why I was so grossly mistreated. I understand that everyone may not be “pet lovers”, but if you are in the business of caring for pets, you should be. Kobe was “my child,” I am suffering a tremendous loss. My 11 year old daughter and I had to watch Kobe die and no one cared. There are several things that need to happen with this practice: Immunizations needs to be looked into further; especially when dealing with an infant puppy, an investigation should be rendered as to how many puppies have died or experienced anaphylaxis or other problems because of immunization and staff needs to be more compassionate, along with many other complaints. Looking back on the day of the vaccinations, I noticed Kobe being very lethargic, whimpering and a presence of diarrhea; however, I attributed this to a normal reaction from immunizations and was also advised the day prior by the vet that he would more than likely be very sleepy. There have been numerous of complaints and lawsuits lodged against Banfield for its neglect, incompetencies and unethical behavior. Over the past several years, a number of veterinarians have complained that Banfield is extremely low quality and profit driven. Numerous of complaints were lodged against Banfield including the promotion of over-vaccination of pets. In 2010, a former V...

This weapon is projected from cellphone towers! The patent holder is Raytheon (#7629918), a military contractor. It's developed by Dr. Jamie Tyler, and Arizona State University! The weapon is used on a "targeted" bases. And it causes cognitive memory loss, induced heart symptoms that may lead to heart attacks, and artery hardening; obstructed breathing rhythm, muscle fatigue, visual problems, joint pains, headaches, impotence, unnatural agitation, and also induced sleepiness; and infused tumors, that may evolve into cancer! All at the active control of a central base ran by government agencies like the counter intelligence division in Tucson, Arizona. They also use agents in Dolce, New Mexico, that sometimes collaborate with the NSA, in computer tapping! The RFDE weapon also allows them to be audibly heard talking to you against your will through the use of sonic, microwave, and low wave radio technology. They often identify themselves as the government and then use racially derogatory, and sexually explicit language! Which gives the weapon a psychological, as well as physical torture aspect!

It's a historic victory that President Obama has agreed to seek congressional authorization for the use of military force in Syria. But despite the President's promise that he only intends to conduct "limited strikes," the AUMF (Authorization for Use of Military Force) he sent to the Hill is a blank check for war. It isn't geographically limited to Syria--this president or a future president could use it to strike Iran. It doesn't prohibit the use of U.S. ground troops. It isn't limited in duration. If this AUMF passes, it is likely to remain; the Iraq AUMF has never been repealed. If you oppose a U.S. military strike on Syria, sign the petition. And even if you support only limited strikes, sign the petition, because the Syria AUMF isn't a mandate for limited strikes--it's a blank check for war. [Update 9/4: the authorization introduced by Menendez last night partially addresses three issues: it is time-limited, it is limited to Syria, it speaks against ground troops. However, the time limit is 2-3 months, not 2-3 days as promised earlier, and it only prohibits ground troops in Syria "for the purpose of combat," We've seen in Iraq and Afghanistan that "training" includes U.S. troops embedded in foreign combat forces. The Menendez bill authorizes a longer and broader war - "degrading" Syrian military forces and arming and training Syrian rebels, thus intervening in Syria's civil war to try to change the balance of military forces, despite earlier claims - than the 2-3 days of cruise missile strikes that were marketed to the public.]

Justin Bieber is not a naturalized American Citizen and has abused the generosity of all Americans with his vulgar and most often times illegal behavior. Spitting at Americans, urinating in places other than designated facilities, multiple instances of assault on Americans resulting in injury to U.S. citizens. As citizens of the United States who love and respect out country, we ask our government to have this individual deported back to his own native Canada.

The reason why I am starting this petition is because my friend who was also the employee that was suspended by Valmont Newmark only because he was parking his motorcycle in the parking lot of that organization while he was working there. That memorial display is his genuine appreciation of all of the War-Fighters who are still fighting and for those who have given the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Walt already invited the management to check the display out by themselves so they could verify that there really was nothing dangerous about that display because it is only a plastic replica of an M-16. He and his finance go to Send-Offs, Welcome Homes, Funerals, and other Veteran events to show their genuine appreciation for the soldiers that make those sacrifices. It is Walt's right to display his Freedom of Speech on his motorcycle and it really honors all of the service members who have served and those that are still serving! If Walt's organization does not reinstate him back to work, then that could also be classified as a Discrimination towards an employee that is honoring his finance's disability. I am prepared as a friend of Walt and a Veteran brother of Cindy to inform the O'Reilly Factor and the CNN News about this because this is truly the wrong way for any organization to treat any worker. Just the negative publicity alone should get some kind of action started because all of this is really wrong! This is the Video URL of the news footage concerning this matter: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=nW-tIDhKA6Y&list=UUYJYd6vcWVWE7XXoQofJB7g If there is any worries about the company trying to be on the safe side concerning that bike, then why is there not any metal detectors that would indicate any metal items being brought into the workplace that could be real weapons? This is all completely wrong and I think that our Government Officials need to check into this matter and request that this organization will allow Walt to continue to drive his bike to that workplace and park it on company property because that bike would never be brought inside of the shop areas of the workplace.

Factory Farmed turkeys exist in horrific conditions. American consumers need to know the truth about how their Thanksgiving meal is being raised. Then the choice is theirs.

Beginning in the mid-19th century, several generations of woman suffrage supporters lectured, wrote, marched, lobbied, and practiced civil disobedience to achieve what many Americans considered a radical change of the Constitution. Few early supporters lived to see final victory in 1920. Slavery was abolished, Martin Luther King Jr and Winston Churchill are recognized on the calendar.. but women are still not recognized for their tireless efforts to gain the right to vote in America.

A separate feedback option and a Listing History is urgently required on Trade Me, to help expose Animal Cruelty, money hungry Backyard Breeders and Pet Flippers. (pet flippers acquire animals and then sell them for a profit). After running a Poll it was a clear indication that people wanted this change to happen. 99% for vs. 1% against which justifies a petition! *Please Like us on facebook - SPCA Watch (NZ)
