I have a grandparent with terminal cancer. I know that had he lived his life differently in terms of diet, he could have prevented this disease and perhaps extended his life a little longer. He is still alive,but my family is playing the waiting game.

Military type assault weapons were developed for use in a war-time situation. High capacity magazines serve no useful civilian purpose. These weapons and clips are designed to end as many lives as potentially possible.They have no place in our streets or in our schools.

Late in 2012, Facebook began using "promoted posts" in both business pages and personal accounts, forcing you to pay money to actually have a majority of your friends or fans see your posts. If your business has 1,000 "likes", it now requires $25/post just to have all 1,000 of your fans see that particular post. For larger businesses, it can cost thousands of dollars for a SINGLE POST to reach the majority of your fanbase! With a personal account, to reach 80% of your friends, you must now pay $7/post. If you have 500 friends and DON'T promote a post, less than half will actually have it show up in their newsfeeds. For both business and individual/personal pages, you should NEVER have to pay any amount of money for your friends or fans to see what you post. Businesses already can pay for new fans through targeted marketing. They should NOT have to pay to reach the fans they already have! As this trend increases, the majority of your newsfeed will be taken over by corporate advertising.

Many seniors are facing having to move - due to housing not meeting/agreeing to increased rent contracts. Many have moved into these 55+ places, because of physical health problems due to age and also seeking a safe place to reside. Many have moved into these places - thinking it would be the last move before death ~ only to find out that they might have to move again.

Public school funding is always an issue. I was personally affected when RIF was brought into play and the school public school system has not been the same. Too many children have gotten their little hands on guns. There should be legislature to pursecute those who are careless with leaving guns around unattended. Trace the guns to the owners and prosecute them for being careless.

I'm concerned that people have lost their way in this world especially in the united states where they decided to take prayer out of the schools. i believe that we should get prayer back in the school. let us focus on one our amemndments "Freedom of Religion." i don't believe people are given the opportunity to practice that phrase. especially when they can't brethe a word of prayer in school. but whenever something tragic happens they are ready to call on God and ask america to pray. we need the prayer back in the school.

Since people sprinkle rock salt on sidewalks, it can damage the pads on the bottom of a dog's paws. As a result, the dog may lick the harmful salt from its paws resulting in burns to its mouth and throat. Repeated ingestion of rock salt can also lead to kidney problems or pancreatitis.

GMO's in Corn and Wheat are making big end roads into our food supply - dont let our children be the guinea pigs for this food. If it s not in the products it is being fed to the animals that are processed for our children.

The population of Wake County is likely to double over the next 20 years, and traffic congestion will continue to get worse and worse. The Wake County Transit Plan doubles bus service, creates commuter rail, and initiates light rail. Durham and Orange County have already passed a similar plan. Without action, Wake County risks being left behind. The Wake Board of Commissioners has the power to move forward with review and approval of this plan right away. Help us build support for more transit in Wake County.

20,000 Hoosiers have signed petitions and 41 school boards have signed resolutions in support of Central Time for Indiana. On their behalf and that of the 1.35 million students whose safety and educational well-being are being compromised, and on behalf of the Indiana businesses that are being inconvenienced by Eastern Time, I request that a legislative study committee be established to evaluate Indiana’s time designations. That way an educated decision can be made to either keep it as it is or take the steps to return Indiana to its original Central Time Zone. You are the state’s leaders and you have the power to get this done. Please, do it!

I think every American should be effected by this.
