My bank has sold my home & I'm in danger of being homeless in a matter of 4 days Even though I own a commercial property that is close to selling, the GREEDY bank wouldn't wait. I'm 63 years old w/ no where to go & no family... I want to call attention to this for the sake of others in the same situation. Corporate GREED is rampant & black hearted !

Thomas Nast, a famous political cartoonist, is credited with the earlier uses of the donkey, He first used the donkey in an 1870 Harper's weekly cartoon to represent the "Copperhead Press" kicking a dead lion, symbolizing Lincoln's Secretary of War, Edwin M. Stanton, who had recently died. The Republicans got the elephant loved it and officially adopted it...the Democrats never have. after 142 years it is about time. The donkey is a stubborn little fellow and now more than ever before we as Democrats have to be stubborn and fight for our rights be they dealing with gender, racism, or sexual orientation. We have to stand up for the poor, the hungry, the homeless and for good schools, clean air and water and making sure that the wars we fight are worth fighting. Yes we have to fight for jobs and making sure taxes are fair and the amounts each pays is just for his earnings and ability to pay. Today more than ever Democrats MUST be stubborn and stand tight for what is just, fair and right. The donkey is the prefect mascot, and adding the word burro is fitting to invite Hispanics who seem to be America's largest emerging minority, and Democrats will do far more for them than the Republicans. Finally let us remember that Mary the mother of Jesus rode to the place of his birth on the back of a donkey, which he himself later rode to make a very clear point...if it is good enough for Christ, it should be good enough for the Democrat Party. I think our Democrat Leaders should make it official at the next national convention and formally adopt it!

Child abuse means harm or threatened harm to a child's health or welfare that occurs through non-accidental physical or mental injury, sexual abuse, sexual exploitation, or maltreatment, by a parent, a legal guardian, or any other person responsible for the child's health or welfare or by a teacher, a teacher's aide, or a member of the clergy. The key word in that statement is health. The State of Maine does not include second hand smoke as a form of child abuse. Even thought the health effect can be devistating to young lungs and respritory systems. Please join me in asking the state to change the defintion of child abuse to include second hand smoke. The health effects of secondhand smoke are indisputable. In children, exposure increases asthma attacks, contributes to sudden infant death syndrome and leads to respiratory infections. In adults, it can cause heart attacks, heart disease and lung cancers. With over 250 toxic chemicals, 50 of which cause cancer. It's your choice if you want to smoke, but our children have no say in the matter. Let's come together for the common cause of protecting our states youth. Though second hand smoke may not be intentional child abuse, it still harms the overall health and welfare of the child. Preventing health problems at an early stage will not only improve the quality of life for them later, but give them a normal healthy childhood. Governor LePage and the State of Maine, change the law of child abuse to include second hand smoke.

We the People wrote the U.S. Constitution, and it's time we remember we can amend it.

Rush Limbaugh is a toxic voice on the public airwaves. He broadcasts with our permission. He must be removed because he has poisoned the airwaves with vicious lies and defames innocent people on a daily basis.

Our airwaves are Public and we lease them to media companies,Radio and Television.We are daily bombarded by misinformation, lies and unreported information. Marshall McCluhan the Communications expert of the 60 's stated " The Media Is The Message",which translates as whoever controls the Media ,controls the information. Correct information is vital for a democracy. To protect our Democracy public airways should be protected from Lies, Misinformation and failure to report vital information on issues that would better inform the public.
