Currently AT&T refuses to upgrade their old phone lines. Dial-up Internet customers are charged $15.95 a month. High Speed Internet customers only pay $14.95 a month. Dial-up customers, individuals and businesses, deserve to be connected to a 21st Century internet. Time is money! Dial-up Internet customers are tired of our slow death crawl through the internet!

The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) has been slaughtering wild burros in Big Bend Ranch State Park since 2007. To date they have killed over 100 burros. The Burros have lived in the park for hundreds of years, but TPWD is now calling them an exotic invasive species. There has been outrage in West Texas about this, but national animal rights groups don't seem interested. It is certainly arguable that the burros are an invasive species since they have been in the park since the time of the Conquistadores and possibly before. At the same time another non-native species, the Texas Longhorns have not been targeted by TPWC. Let's shed some light on and stop the slaughter of these creatures.

This is important for all home owners but especially those who are retired and living on fixed incomes. there is no way that most seniors can keep their homes while school districts keep raising taxes year in and year out.

As pastors and teachers, Catholic bishops are supposed to lead their flock in sharing the love of God with our neighbors. So why did a Catholic bishop just preach a homily comparing President Obama to Hitler and Stalin? Bishop Daniel R. Jenky of Peoria, Illinois, launched a vicious tirade against politicians who disagree with the bishops' views on health care reform, culminating in the outrageous claim that "Barack Obama seems intent on following a similar path" to Hitler and Stalin, who "would just barely tolerate some churches remaining open." This kind of hateful and incendiary rhetoric is inappropriate coming from anyone -- but it's simply outrageous coming from a religious leader in a position of public trust. Bishop Jenky needs to hear immediately that reasonable people are appalled by his remarks.

There is an extremely vocal crowd of gun-loving Americans out there. They have succeeded in turning a lot of the country into the Wild West. Evey day we here about another mass shooting incident. In any other civilized country people would realize that making guns available to anyone who wants one is recipe for disaster. In Australia it only took one such incident to get laws passed severly restricting gun availability. There is no justification for the easy availability of guns in our country. The 2nd Amendment clearly states that the right to bear arms is in the context of a "well-trained militia". It's obvious that meant you can have a gun with proper training and oversight and responsibility. The authors of the 2nd Amendmendment certainly could not have foreseen a future where there are more guns than people in the United States.

At the ripe old age of 65, I've watched American Patriotism dwindle over the years to what I now consider to be the lowest point in my lifetime. The biggest reason for this is that Americans now tend to identify with smaller and smaller groups rather than with Americans as a whole. (i.e. African-Americans, Latino-Americans, Christian Americans, non-Christian-Americans), etc. This began with McCarthyism in the 1950's when the words 'under God' were inserted into The Pledge of Allegiance. Restoring The Pledge of Allegiance to it's pre-1954 wording (without 'under God') will go a long way in uniting Americans AS Americans FIRST, without the sub-groups.

Our forefathers all spoke English and so should everyone who is born in our country or migrates to our country.

Sesame Street, brought to you by Mitt Romney. Up next, Downton Abbey, but first, a word from Obama’s Super PAC. This is no joke! A U.S. appeals court struck down a ban on political ads on public broadcasting. That means your local PBS or NPR station could start running nasty attack ads right away. Many Americans turn to public TV or radio to escape the offensive political ads that have flooded commercial stations. Polluting public programming with these misleading and negative ads is not in keeping with the original vision of noncommercial broadcasting. An overwhelming majority of Americans say public funding for public media is money well spent. We need to invest in public media, not open it up to dirty Super PAC money. Please sign this petition now. Tell PBS and NPR to keep their stations free of nasty attack ads. -- This petition is in partnership with Free Press (www.freepress.net).

The title says it all, folks. It's high time (no pun intended) that we put an end this double standard in regards to those things that are much, much worse: ex. Alcohol, cigarettes.

The banks have already made their money through penalities by denying differment and forberance. Inspite of all the payments that people like me made in the past their current loan amount is twice the original loan now. I know I can not pay this loan in my life time. I beleive there are so money people who can not be able to pay. The area of study matters. My area of study did not allow me to make enough money to support my family and at the same time meet other obligations like student loans. It should be foregiven.
