The Issa-Ross bill fails to address real problems, attacks bargaining rights of workers. H.R 2309 is not a bill to save the Postal Service; it's a bill to destroy it.

From diplomatic agendas resulting in attacks on foreign nations to information on UFOs, foods, drugs, vaccines or Fukushima fallout...Americans are kept in the dark. The media no longer questions government/corporate pronouncements or investigates critical issues or presents unbiased scientific opinion. National security has been used as an excuse for unprecedented secrecy, anathems to democracy. Freedom of information is at the governments discression.

I personally survived a vicious pit bull attack recently. Many breeds can be deadly, not just pit bulls. Thousands of innocent children and adults have suffered brutal and sometimes even fatal attacks from cute, yet potentially deadly, animals. I am calling for our leaders to adopt legislation that will help prevent these attacks from occurring as often. ***The Clifton study of attacks from 1982 through 2006 said that: Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, Presa Canarios and their mixes were responsible for 65% of the canine homicides that occurred during a period of 24 years in the USA. (Clifton, Dog attack deaths and maimings, U.S. & Canada, September 1982 to November 13, 2006.)

I am a victim of the Madoff fraud. I have been further victmized by SIPC, the agency created by the Congress in 1970 to insure investors for the securities they owned as stated on brokers' statement, in exchange for brokers no longer having to provide investors with paper certificates of ownership. Congress is now deliberating a new bill, HR 757, to clarify its intent to protect investors with the 1970 law. Investors should urge their congressional representatives to support HR 757 while this issue is being discussed.

While I have great respect for the U.S. Constitution, the behavior of Republican legislators have brought our nation close to ruin, with no intention of solving any problems, other than defeating Obama.

It appears that deep sea trawling is the culprit in the mystery of where have the chinook salmon gone. Studies show that the increase in pollock fishing on U.S. trawlers or "draggers" that drag the bottom floor and pick up EVERYTHING, has direct correlation with chinook salmon numbers going down drastically in the whole state. As a subsistence & sport fisher person on the Anchor, Kasilof, & Kenai rivers I am directly affected by the rapid decline in chinook salmon. The Yukon & all other rivers are affected too. 1. Regain ability to fish on rivers 2. Stop all bycatch practices & replace with safer/better fishing practices 3. Have 1 unbiased "watcher" on each trawling boat to keep them honest 4. See escapment returns grow to healthy sustainable numbers 5.

Winter's depressing enough without it being dark by the time we get off work, and changing one's sleep schedule only screws up the week. Let's stay on DST forever and have evening even in the winter!

The farm bill is a bipartisan pork barrel spending spree. It provides farm subsidies redistribute wealth from taxpayers to often well-off farm businesses and landowners But the largest chunk of the farm bill in dollar terms is directed to the Supplemental Nutrition and Assistance Program (SNAP), commonly known as the food stamp program.

Imagine if you were to lose your shelter. Imagine losing your medical care and life saving medications. Or imagine starving to death all because of the pennsylvania governor's budget cut to get rid of the general cash assistance and the making of revisions of the medical assistance.

46 of the 48 continental states have allowed self-service to pump gas for decades now. Oregon should join them in the name of efficiency & lower prices. Self-serve gas is consistently cheaper and prevents us from wasting time waiting around for an attendant to a> notice a customer, b> realize the pump has stopped.

With 150 addicts visiting a Methadone Clinic every morning between 6:30 & 8:30 when children are walking to school, we are trying to convince the Mayor to find a site in another area. Not in a residential area withing 1/4 mile to an elementary school, a middle school and a high school. Spectrum Health, we've been told, can go anywhere they want, no matter the zoning, because they are an "educational facility" and don't have to abide by the zoning laws the rest of the citizens of Pittsfield have to follow. 8 parking places for a building with 2 apartments and 2 offices would not be allowed for anyone else. Children play all around the designated building and they should not be exposed to this. We need to keep our children and neighbors safe. Please help by signing this petition.

Considering Romney ducked out with a deferment during the Viet Nam War to spend 2 years in Paris recruiting for his Mormon Church how the hell can he gain support among us Veterans? Not many people are aware of this - those who are often comment that Obama wasn't in the service but fail to realize he wasn't of age during the Viet Nam Conflict. You may hear that Romney had an obligation to his Church but shouldn't your obligation to America takes precedence..
