Please end abusive treatment of animals at factory farms

would like the fda to be held accountable for allowing genetically engineered food into our food chain & allowing it to be called natural & allowing big companies that support it , keep it hidden from the public, despite the unknown health risks & potential unwanted spreading.

open adoption records..adoptees are people with out a history

For as long as I can remember, there has been a National Tree Lighting during the holiday season in Washington DC. Year after year, I reserve hope that for once, the National Tree would actually look like a TREE and not some lit up mound with a star on top of it.

We the people of the great state of Florida support and wish to vote for the legalization of cannabis and support any taxes that may accure for personal consumption.

My issue is that a plant that has literally hundreds if not thousands of uses including recreational use for winding down,stress and anxiety management along with pain management and that it is perfectly safe for anyone to use while alcohol kills thousands is still not legal to consume or sell.

Life is hell on earth every minute for billions of animals! There are so many issues that need attention now, factory farms, shelters, puppy mills, vivisection, animal testing, hunting etc. The way people view animals need to change, why do we love dogs and cats and murder pigs, cows, chickens and anyone else we can make a profit off or.

The presidency of Barack Obama is historic not only because he is the first African-American president but more importantly he was able to get the Affordable Care Act passed, legislation that has been attempted for over 100 years.

President Obama has been the target of more disrespectful public acts than any president in recent history. Examples include the "birther" fabrication and the flaunting of racist signs at rallies. Sign a petition to congressional representatives and members of the media requesting that they behave respectfully toward the President and the office of the presidency.

SB 1080 prevents some 15,000 undocumented immigrant drivers on Oregon roads from being tested for knowledge of driving laws and for physical impairments to safe driving.

Hemp should be a cash crop for paper, cloth, livestock feed and bio-deisel, among other products. Regulation of marijuana should be decided at the State level. Decriminalizing both crops will spur economic growth, reduce crowding in jails, and save taxpayers billions in incarceration costs - a win-win-win situation nationwide. It's time to end the dissonance between federal and state laws.

The Fish and Wildlife Service has opened a 90 day period for open comment from the public and the scientific community. Four public hearing will be held in February and this petition will be presented at that time..The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is considering putting the Lesser Prairie Chicken on the "threatened" list under the Endangered Species Act. The decline in this species signals that our native grasslands are in trouble. These grasslands support dozens of migratory birds, farmers, ranchers and local communities across the southwest region. We will be working alongside the Department of Agriculture, Bureau of Land Management, and the Sutton Center to preserve our environment. For the people of these states, putting the lesser prairie chicken on the threatened list opens up the possibility of putting it being a stone in the road to impede the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline Upon learning of this consideration, lawmakers in major oil and gas districts yelled "Fowl."
