These animals need the state to step in. We have to be their voices, this facility stinks, it's filthy, the only hope these animals have are the volunteers that go there twice a week. The shelter does not follow the guidelines set forth by mandated laws as to what each animal must have. I was there, I cried for the animals, now something must be done on their behalf

The cruel and inhumane treatment of horses

As a retired teacher,my pension has been cut 1%;Do not cut our pensions any more!

Distracted drivers are POOR drivers and threaten us all. Public safety should be our number one concern. Outlaw cell phone use and texting while driving.

My husband and I are both very involved with a local youth football organization, here in Dover Pa. Last week he was voted in as Head Coach for the Rink's. Then 5 days later the board states that they have received parent complaints about him related from a PERSONAL issue with the Bullying of our son! They were afraid he would not be a "good fit" for this position due to that PERSONAL issues with the other organization! These two sports programs have absolutely nothing to do with each other! Buddy has compassion and is a dedicated coach who has NEVER showed un- sportsmanship like conduct! He gave 110% coaching, never missed a pratice or game! I know their are much BIGGER problems in the world....but we are just a small town, in rural Pennsylvania and any support for my husband would mean the world to our family!

The Food and Drug Administration wants comments by the public and the profession on a petition to add potassium fluoride, KF, a micronutrient, to Iodized table salt for both the prevention of Iodine Deficiency Disease and Dental Decay. If your town is too small to have Community Water Fluoridation for prevention of dental decay, this fluoridated/iodized table salt will put 1 mg of fluoride in your diet to reduce decay by 40 to 60 percent, just like water fluoridation.

To propose a less violent culture for our children and our nation

Some legislators feel they have the right to not obey the laws regarding smoking in government buildings. They are not above the law unless it specifically excludes them in which case the law is discriminatory and therefore not a valid law.

In watching Speaker Boehner over the last four years, I have become increasingly alarmed by his obvious alcohol problem. Although it is referred to by many TV (Joe Scarborough) and radio personalities offhandedly, we should all be concerned that he is not only unfit to handle his current responsibilities, but he would be absolutely incapable of assuming presidential responsibilities.
