President Obama while a Senator pushed through a vetting process of his contender in the 2008 election to prove that he was in deed a "Natural Born" citizen of these United States.

Property Taxes in New Jersey are extremely high. While these taxes are not going down, our services are(shorter hours,less bulk pickup, recycling once per week etc,etc. It's pretty much Taxation without Representation.

According to a Chicago Tribune investigative series, “A deceptive campaign by the chemical industry brought toxic flame retardants into our homes and into our bodies. And the chemicals don't even work as promised.” Since 2008, the CPSC has been working on a draft furniture flammability standard that would stop fires from starting in furniture fabric. This new standard will prevent the use of untested and toxic chemicals in the foam inside furniture. We need the CPSC to enact this standard so we can buy furniture and baby products that are both fire resistant and toxics free.

Chris Matthews displays bad judgment in every possible way with his actions on MSNBC: he minimizes the value of leadership and disrespects his audience with surly and arrogant disregard for commonly accepted courtesies and manners.

I have taught my grandkids to always be respectful, particularly of their elders. But former Senator and current co-chair of the Fiscal Commission Alan Simpson, who is pushing to gut Social Security, either didn’t get that lesson or wasn’t good at listening to what his grandmother said. After fellow members of the California Alliance for Retired Americans and I participated in a protest of his recommended policies in March, Simpson sent a nasty letter that referred to us as “greedy geezers.” But that’s not all. Simpson went on to call us “a wretched group of seniors” and said, “You must feel some sense of shame for shoveling out this bulls**t,” for expressing our views that his plan to destroy Social Security is wrong for me, my grandchildren and the future of our country. “Greedy geezers” and “wretched” seniors? That is not the kind of remarks that our public officials tasked with one of the most important policy decisions in our country’s history should be making. That’s why I set up this petition to tell Congress members – both Democrats and Republicans – that Simpson’s comments are no better than his ideas for gutting Social Security for current and future generations. Please take a quick second to sign my petition and let your Member of Congress know that you don’t support Simpson’s out-of-line comments, or his ideas that end Social Security as we know it by cutting benefits and raising the retirement age.

Food containing Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) sold in the U.S. is not required to be labelled as such. This is because the corporations responsible have told our politicians that the GMO food is identical to non-GMO varieties. Shouldn't we, the people, be allowed the opportunity to decide this for ourselves? Currently the only way to avoid GMO food is to completely avoid corn products, soy products, cottonseed oil, canola oil, sugar beet products,farm-raised salmon, and possibly meat, eggs and dairy because the animals may have been fed GMO corn or alfalfa hay. Why should we avoid GMO food products? Because the genetic modification of these plants usually consists of making the crop resistant to herbicides (mostly Roundup, but also 2, 4-d herbicides and others). The result is that these GMO crops uptake the herbicide chemicals and put them directly into our food supply. We have allowed these corporations to poison our planet and now the food supply directly, never mind what other effects there may be (pollination problems, extinction of speies etc.). Shall we continue to allow the few to profit at the expense of us all? I say no. How about you? Demand that GMO foods be labelled Sign the petition. Thank you.

We have millions of cars on our highways and streets and need to improve safety.

With a Federal policy directive issued by the Veterans Health Administration (VHA), recognizing medical marijuana and distinguishing it from other illegal controlled substances. In its brief, the VHA directive bolsters advocates' arguments that marijuana does indeed have medical value. It is time to allow medical cannabis to be legal in all forms in the United States of America.
