There is nothing more important to democracy than free and fair elections. The Republican Party has been doing everything it can, from gerrymandered districts to opening up new hidden ways for special interests to funnel money into elections without exposure, to the new restrictive voting laws. Elections in North Carolina are no longer open, fair, nor conducted in the interest of the people, but rather the rich, the corporations and the morality authorocrats, in short, the Republican Party

My ex-son-in-law was killed in a motorcycle accident Jan 2013. He named his on-again-off-again girlfriend as beneficiary during company re-enrollment in the fall of 2012. He has two minor children. The girlfriend received $401,000 in life insurance and AD&D benefits. She will not share the money with his children. I would like to see something changed in the law so that when a person has minor children they MUST be named beneficiaries in order that a trust can be set up for them and they receive the proceeds of the insurance coverage.

I have been struggling with Child Protective Services for over 3 years, attempting to regain custody of my son, I've completed most of every task that has been handed to me. My case was opened then closed before I could fully complete what they said was required of me. All I want is some justice to be done and for my son to be with his biological mother that care so much for him. My son was removed from me because of rumors, and not facts, I was told he was taken away because of medical neglect, no investigations were completed and no facts were gathered at the time he was taken. Why have me struggle for over 3 years if they never planned on placing my son back into my custody? It feels like the services that were set in place to help parents reunite with their children fail society, as if its better to keep family separated from each other. More help should be provided for parents that care enough to jump through hoops and actually want their children back. This is hard emotionally and has been going on for too long, it feels like I'm getting the run around and that I'll be fighting for my motherly rights for a while. I am a disabled mother of two and I am still capable of doing what normal people are able to do regardless of what I have been told. I also think I shouldn't be forced to pay child support if I'm willing and capable of taking care of my son and want him home with me.I feel like this issue is important for the fact that it happens to a lot of people and help from child services seem to be limited or none at all. I should have been getting more help from services instead of being left to find answers for myself.

I work for the VA treating our veterans with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Many of the vets I see are from the Vietnam War, and they were treated quite badly when they got back to the US, and have suffered in silence for decades. Sudden loud noises are still triggers for their nervous systems, and can bring on panic. So when July 4th comes around and most of us are saying "oohh!!...ahhh!!" when the fireworks go off, they are struggling to hang on, wishing desperately for the noises and the terribly hard memories they bring to stop. Declaring July 4th as PTSD Awareness Day can raise public awareness of this condition, inviting more public dialogue, supporting research for treatment, and educating the public to understand some of what our vets struggle against every day. We need to support our ALL our veterans as they struggle to heal, both from conflicts decade past, and our new generations of vets from the current wars, many of whom have not yet returned home. This is also fitting as our nation began with a war, and those who survived fighting it likely held a similar burden until they too passed away in time.

Sonoma County Judge, Nancy Case Shaffer, forces 63-year-old women, with Tramatic Brain Injury, and Cognitive Delays, to represent themselves against their self-dealing, and money hungry court appointed fiduciaries. We believe that Judge Shaffer is unethical, uncaring, unkind, and unprofessional, therefore we demand that Judge Shaffer should step down as a Superior Court Judge within the State of California . . .

In many ways, Wood River Valley Residents are more food conscious than the average U.S. population, and more affluent, and yet our school district is lagging behind in implementing nutrition education, school garden programs, comprehensive Farm to School programs, and preparing fresh meals from scratch on premises.

Marijuana is not a dangerous substance. It could actually be very beneficial for our economy now that there is NO MORE COAL MINING. Lets legalize or at least decriminalize. A lot of good people smoke it. Everything about it reminds me of the alcohol prohibition days.

By law, U.S. military aid to Egypt should have been cut off when the democratically elected President was overthrown by a military coup. But a minimal demand is that U.S. military and police aid must be cut off to military and police units that are credibly accused of gross abuses of human rights - like shooting unarmed protesters in the head, neck, and chest - that is - shooting to kill. This cut-off is required by U.S. law. Urge Congress and the President to comply with and enforce the law.
