The the over abundance of pets in shelters, many of them being euthanized daily. something needs to be done to stop the madness. These poor creatures did n

Again and again, the Democratic Party has caved in to right-wing demands; it is hardly recognizable as The Democratic Party. It is time to support third parties that will do what they say for working people, students, the elderly and the rest of the 99%. The "Fiscal Cliff" is a fantasy created by Madison Avenue to take more of our hard-earned benefits away. Deals to cut our benefits mean that we need to walk away from the Democratic Party and register as "independents" who can not support these betrayals.

An employee's son was a witness to the Thurston High School, Springfield, Oregon shooting. This was among the first of an alarming string of school shootings. Little has been done to prevent such atrocities since. Please stop the killings.

As the friend of an aspiring photographer I have a problem with Instagram STEALING our pics and being able to use them as advertisements without any recognition and/or royalties being paid to the original picture taker. This is a huge problem. Here is my friends response and I am in complete agreement: "As an aspiring photographer, the use of Instagram and other social media networks are especially important when trying to promote my work. One of the best aspects of these portals, is that they are free and I know my photos will always have my name attached to them. The idea of Instagram being able to utilize my photography for advertising purposes, without the attachment of my name to the work, is outrageous--in my opinion. I believe that if such stipulations will be placed on the use of Instagram, the least they could do is give the original photographer some credit. While some users use Instagram solely for fun, I am someone that takes pride in what I post to showcase to my followers. I want to make sure that it is great work and they it is art that can be appreciated. Is this really too much to ask for?" We must demand that Instagram treats its users fairly, so please SignOn and let your frustrations be heard!

Everyone I know has sleep issues including myself. I think it's time to end this ridiculous practice of changing the clock twice a year. It results in discomfort for many and loss of productivity everywhere.

Currently, Senate Bill S-1789 was passed and sent to the House. Congress needs to: Refund $50 to $75 billion of overpayments back to the USPS and change the law so we stop requiring the USPS to prefund the Retiree Health Benefit. The USPS employs 550,000 people of which 25 percent are Veterans. Oppose Bill H.R 2309.

The members and head of this so-called "church" have no ministry degrees, but are all attorneys, with an agenda to harm the progress made in ths country toward civil liberties and equal rights. These individuals hide behind Free Speach to launch their hate-fueled agenda by picketing funerals of fallen soldiers, and victims of gun violence. This is not the purpose of ANY religion, so why do they have a tax exempt status and call themsleves a church when they clearly are a hate group? Please sign the pitition to Mr. Steven T. Miller, Acting Comissioner of the Internal Revenue Service in charge of exemption status and let these haters know we don't buy into their viewpoints. Make them pay for the hate they spread out of their own pockets and NOT be funded by the Government and our Taxes!

President Obama: Please posthumously award the Presidential Citizens Medal to Victoria Soto, who sacrificed her own life to save her students at the tragic Newtown, CT shooting. She made the ultimate sacrifice to save the lives of her young pupils.

The NRA spends untold sums of money to keep weapons of mass destruction, like the assault rifle used by Adam Lanza to kill twenty innocent children, on the streets. Now Republic politicians and others in the pocket of the NRA are belaboring their talking point that this is a mental health issue and has nothing to do with guns. I want to know how much money the NRA will donate to help remove the stigma of mental illness and provide funding for the professionals working on this issue

Most of the guns used in mass murder rampages, like the one that took place at Sandy Hook Elementary School, were purchased legally. Dick's Sporting Goods, where Adam Lanza reportedly attempted to purchase a semi-automatic weapon last week, has suspended the sale of these weapons for an undefined period of time.
