Federal laws need to level the playing field for spouses in divorce. Men are routinely discriminated against in State laws, receiving "traditional" parenting time that amounts to 5 in 28 days with their child(ren). Fathers are currently forced to litigate back Civil Rights that should be protected Consititutionally under Federal Law. Litigation in divorce is expensive and psychologically damaging for the most vulnerable--our children.

Lately, many dogs and other animals have been sickened or died from tainted pet food and pet treats. Most of these products are made in China and under the name of an American company. Pet food manufacturers not only deny their products did not cause any illnesses or deaths of pet companions, but steadfastly will not accept any financial liability for their tainted products.

Now that the Iraq war is over, I think Americans would like to know all non-classified costs, such as private-contractors, non-military security, etc. So much is made about the cost of Solyandra it would be so little compared to the waste in Iraq.

The Company 'Jour Apres Lune' produces matching lingerie for mothers and daughters. They use underage models to show off the revealing nature of their underwear line on their website and are threatening to begin marketing in the U.S.A. Not only does this paint an inappropriate picture for young girls as an early heightened sexual identity, but it also encourages those who seek out younger and younger victims in molestation and rape crimes. We need to restrict the sale and purchase of this merchandise in North America and asphyxiate the organization.

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.
