The General Assembly enacted legislation in 1969 that required all public drinking water systems that serve more than 5,000 residents to fluoridate their water. That 1969 state law allowed communities to opt out via referenda in 1970 and several did. Today, there is no mechanism for additional communities to opt out of that requirement. Just as The Safe Drinking Water Act has a review period to examine practices every six years, we believe Ohio State should allow communities to vote periodically on the desire or need for this waste product to be added to our drinking water. The Safe Drinking Water Act is currently under review, and I'm told by Dr. Joyce Donohue’s office at the CDC, there are plans to lower the U.S. recommendations for acceptable levels of fluoride for public drinking water. Adding Fluoride to our drinking water is another example of "herd" treatment that can have severe health implications for individuals among our "herd". As citizens in an era of easy access to information, unlike the 1970's, we can visit sites such as www.fluoridealert.org and become educated. Here is some language from the Ohio Department of Health Bureau of Oral Health Services website that may add some clarity to the situation: 'Does Ohio require fluoridation? In 1969, convinced of the public health benefits of community water fluoridation, the Ohio General Assembly passed a law requiring fluoridation of public water supplies that serve more than 5,000 persons. The law provided customers of the affected water systems the opportunity to be exempted through a referendum held within 240 days of the law’s passage. Which cities are exempt? Thirty Ohio communities held special referenda in 1970 and were exempted from the law. Since then, eight of those communities have reversed the decision. Athens, Bellefontaine, Bellevue, Fairborn, Lebanon, Middletown, Delaware and Tipp City are now fluoridated. However, 22 communities remain exempt from fluoridation' Everyone has access to fluoridated products, no matter what your financial status may be. It's in toothpaste, mouthwash, dental rinses, offered through dental program as well as the foods and drinks we consume every day. Baby formula contains fluoride. It is a waste product and according to www.fluoridealert.org's "50 REASONS TO OPPOSE FLUORIDATION", has a cumulative effect, interferes with hydrogen bonding, inhibits numerous enzymes and when complexed with aluminum, interferes with G-proteins (Bigay 1985,1987) which has the potential with many hormonal and some neurochemical signals. It has been shown to be mutagenic, cause chromosome damage and interefer with the enzymes involved with DNA repair in a variety of tissue studies (Tsutsui 1984; Caspary 1987; Kashi 1993 and Mihashi 1996). The time has come to amend this law and allow communities another chance to vote for their right to safe drinking water.

My toddler brother and I would be so excited if Cars 3 was made, and I want to get word out so that there's a higher possibility. Everywhere I go, I see little boys with Cars clothes and figures, and I think it would be a great idea for Cars3!

The New Hampshire Association of Chiefs of Police is raising money for police cadet camp with a raffle that gives away a gun a day in the month of May. The first listed gun prize is a Ruger SR-556C, a semiautomatic weapon. The New Hampshire Association of Chiefs of Police have received an offer from a concerned citizen's group to buy out the raffle, covering the price of all tickets sold, and a jeweler is willing to used the melted guns to create items to benefit victims of gun violence. Ask the New Hampshire Association of Chiefs of Police to take the win/win/win option and save lives.

Camden NJ did this for one day and bought back over a thousand guns. That's a thousand less on the streets of Camden

I have a close relative that is mentally ill. In the past, he owned several guns and threatened me and other family members for decades. Most of his arsenal was obtained at gun shows in California. After being arrested and convicted of violating mine and my then-minor daughter's restraining order with firearms, he no longer has access to easily obtainable firearms. This is good, but too little, ALMOST too late.

Consumers have a right to know what they are consuming and should have the right to choose their level of risk associated with these products through properly labeled food packaging. Please ask our legislators in Wisconsin to require proper labeling of GMO food that is sold here.

We believe in our 2nd amendment rights to keep and bear arms and feel that a ban on semi-automatic sporting rifles is an infringment onour rights.

These grants were given for Katrina victims to rebuild or defray blighted properties; however, though appreciated, most could not get the most from the monies because it was never enough to rebuild and, most definitely, not enough, to maintain the property. Conclusion: these grants should be forgiven.

Mississippi ranks in the bottom five states out of all the states in America for animal rights. I am not proud of this ranking, and neither should anyone else be. Every citizen of Mississippi is affected by animal cruelty, emotionally and financially. Where you have uncontrolled animal abuse and neglect, you will also have a larger population of criminals. Let us make Mississippi a better place to live for our children by using all of the tools at hand:education for our citizens & law enforcement, stricter laws imposed, enforcement of laws that are passed, and funding for "no kill" rescue shelters.

We, the Citizens of Pinellas County and the Visitors of The Tides Golf Course, hereby submit this petition to stop any re-zoning attempts of the Tides Golf Course. The Tides Golf Course is located at 11832 66th Avenue North, Seminole, Florida. The Tides Golf Course is currently zoned as recreational open. The Tides Golf Course represents a gem for our county and for our fellow residents. A change in zoning would lead to a lower quality of life for residents who live in neighborhoods surrounding the golf course and for our county as a whole. Rezoning would allow developers to change the Tides Golf Course from the 150 acres of rolling sea grasses to 167 homes, townhomes and/or condos replacing grass with concrete and asphalt. Re-zoning would also disturb and disrupt the sensitive eco system of the area that is home to many native Florida species of plant and wildlife. We want the Tides Golf Course to be saved so future generations may be part of the pleasure that this open green space has provided millions for the past 39+ years. We request the Pinellas Board of Commissioners/Zoning Board: •Deny any changes to the current Tides Golf Course Zoning. •Protect the Tides Golf Course for the “Open Green Space” that it is and prohibit any construction of residences. •Maintain our estuary of “Green Open Space” so that generations of Eagles, Egrets and Owls may continue to have their rightful nesting areas. •Protect our Trees and Native Greenery on The Tides GC that cleans our air and provides habitat for the hundreds of animals that call it home.

If not know when. Please Join V.P Biden and President Obama in their efforts. They are reasonable and won't injure the second amendment at all.

Duke is planning to up our rates 18%. They are high enough, we live in the county not city.
