Casinos mostly take money from the poor and elderly and make problem gamblers of those who can least afford it. Casinos turn good people into embezzlers and those who hurt their families and loved ones. Have the guts to fund the government the honest way.

People have a right to know what they are putting into their bodies. The food industry has a responsibility to be transparent by labeling all of the ingredients in their products so the public can decide whether or not to buy that product.

Auto Liability Insurance is a requirement to purchase tags. Many Insurance companies sell Liability Insurance at a very high rate, This is causing many drivers to buy insurance to obtain tag and then drop the insurance. This scam is well known, so most companies sell high priced insurance that covers for a week. These companies are profiting from a glitch in the law and the poor drivers suffer.. .

The FBI K-9 dog "Ape" was sent into a building where a dangerous and armed murderer waited with nothing more than his teeth for protection. "Ape" was fitted with a camera but what he needed was a bulletproof vest. All K-9s working with officers anywhere should be issued and fitted with bulletproof vests in tactical situations.

As documented by the humane society: “Most breeding pigs in the U.S. are confined in gestation crates for virtually their entire lives. For several years, they're confined to crates that nearly immobilize them, enduring a cycle of repeated impregnation. These individual cages are approximately 2 feet wide—so small the animals can't even turn around or take more than a step forward or backward.”

Every year I go through a period of adjustment because of the change in time and wonder why I must. Let's get rid of it!

Daylight savings is an heirloom leftover from an age of World War II and the energy crisis of the 1970's. Our bodies have a biological connection with our sun, and mechanically changing it every year adds more stress to our already stressful lives.

A small group of vocal residents are attempting to stop the gentrification of our neighborhood by instituting a moratorium of all new bars in and around U Street. We do not want this effort to succeed.

We need to stop Seminole influence, allow Gaming Corporations to open resorts to create jobs.

The U.S. Navy has sought permission to kill, permanently injure, or otherwise seriously harm whales and dolphins more than 31 million times over the next five years throughout Southern California, Hawaii, the Gulf of Mexico, and along the Atlantic Coast, using sonar and other equipment. Last Friday, March 8th, 2013 the California Coastal Commission voted unanimously to reject the Navy’s request due to the input from many environmental groups and over 500,000 ordinary people who took time to let the Navy know how they felt about this issue. The following is a quote from Jana Zimmer, one of the California coastal Commission members: “I understand you see this 120,000-square mile range as your theater, but the bottom line is we don’t see it that way. That theater is occupied by creatures of the sea,... Because the people of California have worked so hard and so long to create these marine protected areas, you need to start looking at this theater as a theater where some of the seats are reserved.” Although this victory is not the end of this issue, we feel that because of the actions of people like you, a major turning point has been reached. If you feel moved to say thank you to the Coastal Commission, you can sign this “petition” and we will deliver your thanks to the commission in one week. Thank you for signing and for making this possible. Your actions have made a difference!

We are creating this petition to help people realize that they are beautiful. It is a simple and powerful message. In each one of us, there exists true beauty. Too many have fallen prey to the false airbrushed images plastered in so many places such as our grocery stores, pharmacies, and malls. There is this perverse image of the human body that is free of blemishes, free of skin conditions, free of "fat"—and we wonder why so many in our society are depressed and unsatisfied with their lives. We also forget there are invisible conditions such as autism and asthma. So instead of commenting on the issue and creating a typical awareness campaign, we decided to showcase each person's beauty in a Full Spectrum Geek program called "You Are Beautiful". Feel free to email us anonymous photos of yourself for the You Are Beautiful project. This will help everyone, male/female/other, realize that each of us is unique. The goal is to have a massive collection of different shaped bodies. We are beautiful. We are normal in an "abnormal" way. We are unique. We will no longer be ashamed of our bodies and let it be a source of exclusion. Be happy, eat healthy, and stay active. True beauty comes from within and being a good person. Feel free to email us anonymous pictures to: Fullspectrumgeek8d(at)gmail.com You can view the growing collection at: http://facebook.com/yabfsg You can upload your own pictures using the hashtag #IamBeautiful #YouAreBeautiful P.S. We have no commercial interests, so please do not contact us to promote your product. This campaign is bigger than that. The only thing you should be sold on is the fact that YOU are beautiful
