This is an environmental / quality of life / noise pollution issue: I live in San Francisco where there's enough noise already -- without all these motorcyclists riding their super-loud "hogs," setting off car alarms, disturbing daily life. What's with these people and their "I am the loudest!" antisocial behavior? It's beyond inconsiderate. One theory I've heard is that they're compensating for something (a part of their anatomy?) that's lacking? I'm concerned that if nothing is done, the noise levels will only continue to increase. Rather than accept this as the norm, let's speak up and change our reality. I can see this issue growing like wildfire since many people I've spoken to share the same feelings. Also, in the coming years, as more hybrid cars hit the road (with their auto-off feature whenever they come to a stop), we'll slowly be tilting the balance toward a quieter street life. Imagine that? Please, join us!

The Michigan Senate will vote on HB5711 next month threatening to impose the most draconian restrictions on Michigan reproductive health services anywhere in the country and on area small businesses. Michigan Republicans have promised a hands off approach to governance and a pro-business attitude, but HB5711 threatens both, at a time when Michigan is just starting to turn the corner economically.

My wife and I have been taken for thousands of dollars, and they refuse to speak to us on this matter.... I was off work with a shoulder replacement at the time when I got involved with Mr. George Davison. I had invented an invention that had helped in my recovery and thought it would make it on the market. And all I needed is someones help in that direction. After many years, and thousands invested. All I received was a phone call from the consumer affairs department which told me that my case is closed and there will be no more contact from Davison, and then hung up on me….

There is no legitimate reason why Election day has to be on a Tuesday. Changing it to Saturday would give more people the opportunity to vote because they would not need to take the day off and people's lives are typically more flexible on the weekends.

Mitt Romney is in England attending a fund raiser, supposedly for Americans abroad. We don't know that. Justice Alito sat in the chambers for President O'Bamas State of the Union and mouthed "NOT TRUE" about foreign money influencing our elections. If Justice Alito is that uninformed or is that much influenced by the conservatives, then he should be removed from the court because he is not defending the Constitution of ALL Americans, just the right.

Reform gun legislation by renewing the assault weapons ban; ban on-line sales of ammunition; establish national resgistry of gun purchases (including large orders of ammunition); background checks (level of new hire) of anyone purchasing more than one gun in any 3 month period. My entire family now believes that there is no place where we can feel safe. The police are helpless because they have less powerful weaponry than that available on the street

The cemeteries in New Jersey for the Veterans who served this country are not maintained properly, as they are short handed, and they have a freeze on hiring. Dont you think we should have the money for this. They need to find the money to keep them nice. The ones in Delaware are kept up very well.

If you want to drive you have to take a course, why not require safety training prior to purchasing and using a gun? No, it will not eliminate all accidents, but this would be a positive step forward. Let's work together to develop safe and responsible gun ownership.

I believe that audio and visual sound bites and printed excerpts of political candidates is a major problem in our country. All types of media outlets should be required to play, show and print all statements in their ENTIRETY. This would include ALL op/ed shows.

There is a constant change in representatives who are inexperienced and are easily influenced by special interest groups,lobbiest,and corporations,the representatives no longer represent the people.Give the voters back their rights by being able to vote for a representative and to keep them in office or to vote them out of office.
