Make it a law, not an option, for all veterinarians and animal shelters to scan every single animal that comes to them on each visit for a microchip, whether or not that animal is admittedly a stray or feral, even if it's brought in as a pet by the owner. This helps people who have lost or stolen pets have their pets rightfully returned to them without worrying they will go home with someone who took them, be 'adopted', or be euthanized. Even if it's with the rightful owner, it ensures no one else has micro-chipped their pet, or if it has one that it is still there, on record, in the right place, and still works properly.

Plenty of dogs are running away from home and becoming lost. Losing a dog is a traumatic experience for an owner, and is equally traumatic for drivers who hurt a dog or hurt themselves avoiding the dog. Developing programs to assist and inform dog owners in the community on proper dog caring at home and about stray dogs are essential for peace and safety.

Americans rely on media to make political informed decisions. England requires media to tell truth, so should the U.S.A.

As the owner of a local tattoo parlor in Dexter, I have had several parents come in wanting their teens to recieve tattoos by professional Artists. Because the State of Maine has a No one under the age 18 shall receive tattoos policy. I see alot of Teens going to people's homes to have tattoos done. Not only are these home environments unclean and unsterile, these teens are getting infectious diseases such as; Mercer, Hepatitis, and even HIV. Tattoos are the "IN Thing" for teens this day and age. Lets change the law to "Teens 16 yrs. of age and older may recieve a tattoo by a professional, licensed parlor, so as long as their parents consent and sign to it." Let's keep our teens from getting un-necessary diseases that could affect their future health.

Since capitalism is the only successful mechanism for creating wealth and raising people out of poverty, laissez faire capitalism should be adopted as the economic model for the United States of America.

This new technology has documented safety and privacy rights issues and had NOT been proven 100% safe. They could also be easily hacked. Besides, by definition this is a wire tapping device and should be illegal...and to force it on customers is a bold, arrogant assumption that we will knowingly consent to such a disrespectful "business decision" on the part of electric company. The $20 "meter reading fee" is nothing but extortion for our safety, security and privacy.

Our kids are killing each other and all they have are these rappers giving them false hope telling them they can sell drugs and that's all they see and believe the only way they can make. The programs that are in effect are just all fun and games nothing started while they are young to let them know how important education is for them and teachers are giving up on the students and once they reach 18 its already to late and they are in survival mode instead on school mode. I want to start programs that can and will motivate the kids while they are young and continue to strive and let them know drugs, guns, girls, and violence is not the only way to make it or be cool/ successful out here. I am open to any ideas and I need help because I won't stop trying to help these kids change their path.

The American Morgan Horse Association since 1948 has required two registered Morgan horse parents to produce a registered Morgan foal, or baby. Court cases indicate illegal breeding has been going on. We want to require the AMHA to DNA-test all new foals (babies) back to the date that the registry books were closed in 1948, and to register all from this point forth, properly, into a half or pure registry.
