The death of a child is devastating to parents and siblings in its own right. For Murdoch owned tabloids to profit by using a cell phone message that gave parents in England false hope that their daughter was still alive is immoral. Let us not continue to support someone who falsely claimed ignorance of the fact that this was accepted corporate culture.

The current debate format doesn't allow for either candidate to fully explain the significance of their position. Under the current format the candidates only spend a few minutes at best on any particular topic. For those that are highly educated on the topic, this is usually plenty of time. But for those of us who might be some what ignorant about the subject, the current format only leads to more confusion, with each candidate trying give quick media soundbites. If each debate focused on one issue it would be harder for candidates to mislead and easier for citizens to make a truly educated vote.

Our Alaskan King Salmon spawing return has been on a steady decline for the last 25 years. STATEWIDE our State of Alaska Dept of Fishery Managers allowed this to happen. They have managed for this decline by managing for sockeye salmon returns and ignoring the by-catch of king salmon. To stop the failure, Alaska needs NEW managers on the Dept of Fish!

Mitt Romney must show his returns or drop out

These poor pigs are raised, crammed in, that's right crammed in gestation crates. They cannot move, turn around, must stand every minute of every day in these crates 24/7 and people like Stephen King and Dave Warner director of communications at NPPC think there's nothing wrong with that. After all, they're just pigs. Let's get this straight. There's nothing wrong with animal abuse and cruelty?

Higher electricity bills never come at a good time, but their impact will be felt even more than normal by Texas' most vulnerable families due to the Legislature's decision to defund an important program that serves Texas' low-income residents: the System Benefit Fund Low Income Discount Program. Known as LITE-UP Texas, the program provides for an electricity rate discount for qualifying low-income customers. Created in 1999 as part of the deregulation of the state's electricity market, it is funded through a monthly fee on everyone's utility bill. The program's goal has always been to assist the least fortunate Texans in braving the summer heat. As temperatures across the state soar, that mission is more critical than ever. Unfortunately, last session the Texas Legislature decided to cut almost $100 million from LITE-UP Texas' budget. What makes this situation even more untenable is that those in control chose to leave over $650 million unspent and sitting in the program in order to protect tax breaks for oil and gas companies. That's right: while Texas bakes, over $650 million that could have gone toward assisting Texans with their utility bills and energy efficiency upgrades sits unused and cannot be touched. Telling Texans their money will be used for one purpose but instead redirecting it to another without voter approval is dishonest governing, pure and simple. Our state deserves more from its budget than smoke-and-mirrors and diversions.

it is a known fact that the 112th congress is the worse congress ever.i want a petition to replace them all asap--and- by the way - they should not get paid forever and medical forever- t it is bad enough that we do that for people in congress that do get the job done-- not these guys. even the republicans have had enough of them

Executives at corporations, like GE, who manufacture our military equipment are paid millions of dollars in compensation by we the people. It is time to limit their income to what other federal/state employees earn. Certainly, those execs are not working 500% more hours nor are they 500% more qualified than our public employees. It is time to limit what we pay them. If the currently elected officials are going after public-employee compensation, then the next logical step is to cut what we pay these large contractors.

The interest on student loans is so high that in the final picture, it exceeds the principle borrowed. For instance, a $47,000 loan ends up costing the student about $90,000. This is ridiculous.

Heavy and light truck "brush guards" pose dangers to both parties in an accident. In single or multivehicle accidents, heavy duty brush guards delay the ability of airbags to properly deploy in an accident. They also defeat the crumple zones that are engineered into vehicles to absorb the impact of a crash, not only endangering the parties driving the vehicle with brush guards, but other vehicles involved in the accident.

I suggest to create a few additional Bus Lines having the acceptable schedule (every hour or every two hours in both directions) in order for people who can not drive to be able to reach important destinations located in different cities of the State of Maine.. Currently, it is not possible to be able (for the regular person) to return from the destination point to the point which he / she left the same day... There is no such possibility currently..
