It is absolutely unacceptable that Jase Bolger be allowed to continue in his role as Speaker of the Michigan House of Representatives. Bolger’s ability to lead and his judgement have been called into question by his constituents, Michigan’s newspapers, and even his colleagues in the House.

Our people are under constant oppression from the Republic of Cameroon which is illegally occupying the land of Former British Southern Cameroon. Our land is exploited, citizens tortured and killed, others forced to go on exile. Our identity is under threats of extinction as a nation. (visit: www.ambazonia.org)

When the Twin Towers collapsed on 9/11/01, Mohammad Salman Hamdani, a NYPD cadet was one of the first responders pulling people out of the rubble. Sadly, like many of the other first responders that day, he never returned home. His nation and his city first dishonored his legacy and his name when they actually suspected him to be a conspirator, then by misplacing his name on the 9/11 Memorial in Lower Manhattan they did it a second time. This is a slight that cannot be allowed to be forgotten and justice must be done. Mohammad's name deserves its rightful placement.

Colorado has made regulations to where Wildlife Sanctuaries cannot help animals from other States. These Animal Sanctuaries would use their money to relocate the poor animals who have NO chance. Pretty soon myself, and others in our State / Other States will not have the Wildlife to see. With starvation, or killing them when they try to get food, etc.

We can all agree that clothes are a very essential part of American culture. A lot of us say "who we are" through the clothes that we wear. It is a problem that most stores do not offer plus size clothes; it has a negative impact on teens who need a range of styles to express themselves. The stores that carry plus sizes are not always fashionable, which makes overweight teens feel even more self-conscious. We want all stores to make clothes for people of all sizes.

Sen. Scott Brown's staff members (with their salaries paid by taxpayers) are taking time from their duties serving constituents to engage in war whoops and tomahawk chops, invoking belittling Native American stereotypes in order to demean Elizabeth Warren. They must step down.

The last play of the Packers, Seahawks game!!!!!!!!!

It is now harder than ever to discharge the huge amounts of debt incurred in attending colleges and universities. Schools sell degrees based on a hope for higher income potential. That potential is not being realized.

NFL owners are trying to cut the pensions and benefits of their referees. But when the refs objected, the owners locked them out and brought in replacements. Already, missed calls have altered the outcomes of some of the games. It won't be long before players start to get hurt because the replacements lose control of a game. Skill and experience go a long way in some jobs. Some of these replacements the NFL hired had been fired from the Lingerie Football League for incompetence. Seriously. Yes, football is only a game. But when one worker's rights are threatened, all workers' rights are threatened. The NFL's refs are our brothers in the fight for worker protections. Join the referees in solidarity. Sign our petition, and we'll deliver it to NFL headquarters before kickoff of next week's Monday Night Football game.

Access to midwives in Maryland is limited. Maternity care is in crisis. Maternal mortality and infant mortality rates are unacceptably high. Nations with better maternal and infant mortality rates employ midwives as their primary maternity care providers. Maryland Families for Safe Birth (www.marylandfamiliesforsafebirth.org), a nonprofit, grassroots organization whose mission is to increase access to midwives in Maryland, is leading the effort to license Certified Professional Midwives (CPMs) in Maryland as 26 other states already do. Licensing CPMs will increase access to midwives. Certified Professional Midwives are trained and credentialed to offer expert care to women for pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. They provide affordable care that is prevention oriented with particular attention to education and support for the mother. CPM care is proven to be safe and improve breastfeeding success rates. CPMs earn the only nationally recognized midwife certification that requires out-of-hospital birth training. They practice autonomously and consult with other health care providers as needed. In Maryland, Certified Nurse Midwives (CNMs) are the only midwives currently licensed to attend women in their homes or birth centers. CNMs routinely turn clients away due to full practices. Maryland has only one freestanding birth center. Licensing CPMs will increase access to midwives for families who choose homebirth and birth center births. It is expected that immediately after licensure legislation is passed 30-40 CPMs will seek licensing in Maryland. Over half of the birth centers in the United States are owned and operated by CPMs. It stands to reason that CPMs will open birth centers in Maryland as well. We therefore ask that the Maryland legislators vote YES to license CPMs in Maryland and vote YES to improve maternity care in Maryland.

It is very simple, Roger Goodell is making a mockery out of the NFL for the sake of money! There is no explanation that I can write here that can replace what has been witnessed by the eyes and ears of every NFL Fan around the World. Every team in the NFL, along with their fans, have suffered from his rule. Roger Goodell needs to be replaced!

In states that don't have a "valued policy law", disaster victims spend months-often years- wrangling with their insurance companies over the amount they're owed to rebuild or replace their destroyed home. In states that have a valued policy law, the insurance company has to pay a set amount... no wrangling.
