The County Courthouse has become a magnet for people who are making a mess on the sidewalks and on the streets.

Regulate Marijuana as Alcohol. Remove it from the Schedule 1 controlled substance list. Anyone whom is an adult has the innate human right to ingest in their own bodies whatever they see fit. Aside from the morality of the issue legalizing marijuana and stopping the aimless drug wars would save the country billions every year. Medicinally marijuana has proven to be effective in the treatmeant of neuropathic pain among other things. This all amount to an intrusion of privacy into the individual lives and freedoms of the citizens. Anyone over 21 with an ID should be allowed to purchase marijuana. The case for the legalization of all drugs should be made as well. If you understand supply and demand you under stand that where there is a demand there will be a supply. Whether it be heroine sold at A licensed pharmacy that could at least be checked for purity and properly dosed, or it be meth made in a lab in the mobile home by untrained individuals dumping who knows what kind of chemicals in the mixture any of which could be potentially fatal. An addict will get his fix; Legalized Heroine or street corner drug deals. It matters not. The thing is folks, this is America, and as odd as it sounds you have the right to be an addict assuming you harm only yourself. I complete overhaul of drug policy is needed along with a new style of rehabilitation. The prisons need to be cleared of these non violent marijuana offenders and our tax money need be spent elsewhere.

We, Deaf West Virginians support Karen Kingrey's idea to create new decal on the special license plate. We prefer blue ribbon and George Veditz instead of symbol of ear with slash. We want to honor George Veditz, former President of NAD who preserved our sign language which is most noblest God-given gift and blue ribbon represents Deaf culture, language, community, and history.

The MBTA wants to raise fares. It's been a time of record unemployment, people have been forced out of homes, many have gone bankrupt. Few outside the MBTA Union workers have received 3.5% cost of living increases and pay little toward their health insurance + minor co-pays for health services. The MBTA Board has to go back to the drawing Board for a better solution. Getting more off the backs of seniors + disabled peopkle isn't right.

The Oklahoma legislature is facing an agenda packed with urgent issues. Governor Mary Fallin has the opportunity to stand behind the people of Oklahoma on these issues by letting our voices be heard as well. As an Oklahoman, I am calling on our Governor to support our ideas, needs, and wants as if, she herself, was an average citizen.

MBTA union employees were getting a 3.5% while Social Security recipients got none. We had about a four hundred dollar increase this year. MBTA unions pay little towards their health insurance co-pay + other medical costs. Seems unfare to raise fares on our backs.

WHY DONT WE START UP A LOTTERY , INSTEED OF GIVING OTHER STATES THE MONEY . DO WE REALIZE HOW MUCH WE GIVE OTHER STATES? THIS COULD GO TO THE SCHOOL SYSTEMS AND SOLVE A LOT A LOT PRBLEM THANK YOU DONALD SELF

to eliminate constant pork barrel spending. Jack Reed chaired a bill to manufacture magnesium presidential coins because he felt they would be gathered up by the pub as investments. Not only were these coins rejected overwhelmingly, they are being minted 24/7, and a new building has been built to store millions of bags of these worthless coins. The senate has slowed down the process by 20%, but intend to return to 100% minting after the first quarter. This is absurd! And Reed is from RI to make matters worse!

Rather than protecting banks or corporations first, children and the people and institutions that raise, support and protect them, need fostering first. No policies (housing, employment, educa- tional, medical, military, immigration, etc.) that endanger this huge, politically unrepresented population shall be advocated, enacted or enforced. If necessary, a constitutional amend- ment to this effect should be enacted. Not only morally is this correct, but in every way including economic, the nation's future does.

Energy should be removed from the commodities market because speculation is what is killing the recovery of the economy.

To pass The Liberty Preservation Act which calls upon state legislatures to declare Sections 1021 and 1022 of the NDAA to be inimical to the liberty, security and well-being of the people of (STATE), and [that the NDAA] was adopted by the United States Congress in violation of the limits of federal power in the United States Constitution..

Deputy Phil let a dog bleed to death after darting it in the artery. His position will be decided this Tuesday at a county meeting.
