THE PETITION WILL BE ABOUT THE TENANTS RIGHTS IN OUR BUILDING: GETTING RID OF THE DRUG DEALERS WHO ARE TENANTS; GETTING RID OF THE TENANTS WHO ARE DOING DRUGS AND GETTING RID OF THE BEDBUGS

The United States Merchant Marine was involed in war service from 1939 to 1946. The Mariners operated the ships that delivered the troops to their fighting stations, kept them supplied and to keep them supplied these mariners lost their lives and ships fighting Germans and Japanese submaeines, aircraft and pocket battleships, were interned as prisoners of war and they were refused to be recognized as veterans for benefits under the GI bill in 1984 after a law suit the Mariners, they were declaired veterans. Since that time the Mariners have been fighting to get Congress to pass a bill that would give these Combat Veterans some benefits. Every western nation that was involved in World War II have given their Merchant Mariners some benefits. We are asking for some help to get HR23 passed. Everyone is asked to write, call, fax your Congressman to sign on as a co-sponsor and supporter.

Have you ever seen a television commercial for a weight loss supplement, an excercise machine, or a diet program? They have models showing you before & after shots like the product really works. Unfortunately, they fail to tell us that all the programs must incorporate a halthy diet & an excercise program. This is listed in the very small fine print on the bottom where it is difficult to see. The same applies to many other ads like automotive sales, car insurance, food, etc... Ever heard an ad for a car sale on the radio? At the end of the ad there is someone speaking really quickly telling us about all the hidden requirements for the deal being offered. Why are companies allowed to tell us one thing in their ads & then say something else in fine print? Companies should be obligated to tell consumers everything up front without hiding anything. Recently the aviation industry was required to show the total cost of a ticket including taxes, so why can't the rest of the bsuiness world be required to get rid of the fine print too?

I believe, as a country, we should put an end to this ridiculous practice of Daylight Savings Time. Switching the time back and forth twice a year is, at best, inconvenient - at worst, deadly. As a former clinical researcher, I feel certain that a review of the appropriate records would support my suspicion that this change, particularly in the spring, is responsible for accidents of all kinds that could be avoided otherwise. I am speaking particularly about hospital errors and traffic accidents, but any activity that requires alertness and accuracy is at risk of being compromised by citizens who are sleep-deprived and groggy for the days or weeks it takes to readjust their biological clocks. Pity the students as well, who are coming to the end of their school semester and must readjust their bodies at a critical point in their school year. As humans, we all have biorhythms and this practice is a ridiculous disservice to our general health. I would prefer that we remain on the "natural" time year-round, but would settle for either schedule if we would just stick to one of them.

The right to bear arms in the Bill of Rights is guaranteed in order to maintain a"WELL-REGULATED MILITIA". That this country has allowed the widespread ownership of guns without ensuring a "well-regulated militia" has caused gun violence to proliferate beyond any sensible justification. We the people must start a new conversation regarding the abuse of the second amendment of the Bill of Rights of the U.S. Constitution.

The Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument has been proposed by a group of business, environmental, non-profit, and government organizations to preserve and protect the natural beauty of Southern New Mexico as well as historic sites including Mogollon Jornado, ancestral Puebloan, Spanish, Mexican, and Anglo - indigenous camps, petroglyphs, historic ranches and homesites, Butterfield Overland Mail route, World War II test and training bomb targets, and even places where Apollo astronauts trained. These areas in the Organ Mountains, Robledo Mountains, Sierra de las Uvas, and the Potrillo Volcanic Complex are threatened by development, mining, and potential abuses of the land. Previous attempts to protect these lands required an Act of Congress. Designating them a National Monument, under the Antiquities Act of 1904, requires only an Executive Order by the President. Protecting these special lands should be high on our list of things to do.

Is anyone else sick of falling back and springing ahead? Is it still relevant for the US to switch their clocks? Many countries do not observe it and even in the US certain states and counties within the states do not practice it. It causes more confusion than good. It messes with your circadian rhythm. Kids have difficulty with the adjustment. It just feels like an antiquated ritual that needs to end.
