• Affordable Care Act
    With the Supreme Court upholding the Affordable Care Act, which will allow all Americans to have health insurance by 2014, it's time for the Mississippi GOP to put aside their self-interests and think of the people of Mississippi. As an unemployed graduate student, I (and many others) would be unable to get health insurance without help.

  • bury power lines now
    Having underground power lines, as do many civilized countries, would provide for protection against storms and would prevent the endless strings of costly repairs, economic damage, human suffering and lives lost. A federal project to kick start the process nationwide would provide an economic boost, create thousands of jobs and help secure our country. Besides, it would look nicer.

  • Discrimination for Manufactured Home Owners
    Home owners of Manufactured Homes cannot finance or re-finance their homes. This is discrimination against over 20 million people in the USA. Manufactured homes are on a foundation, just like stick homes throughout America. Yet, the banks and lending institutions will not help us. This is discrimination!

  • Abolish Daylight Savings Time
    Daylight Savings Time is an antiquated system that causes more problems than it solves. It causes productivity dips during transitional times, adversely affects school children by shifting their schedules, and requires additional development for time-based computer systems.

  • Warren Buffet; Don't let BNSF hold public transportation hostage
    The Regional Transportation District in Colorado (RTD) was stunned when Burlington Northern Santa Fe demanded $535 million UP FRONT for use of the right of way for the North West corridor for the Commuter Rail transportation project. Warren Buffet's company bought the company for $44 billion. Charging so much for use of an existing right of way for public transportation is holding the Denver area's progress hostage.

  • Put your money where your mouth is, Congress!
    Congress in Washington is making decisions that effect millions but it doesn't have any idea what the impact of those decisions are. Many in Congress want to eliminate the food stamp safety net for the working poor. Eating on a food stamp budget for a week would let them feel what poverty is really like. They need to realize that food stamp recipients are not living the easy life.

  • Grand fathered in benefits
    Congress can not change benefits that people receive but they can change benefits for those not yet receiving them. Congress only can change benefits for new recipints. When a United States citizen works for his retirement it is unlawful for congress to change that civilians life as he has set up his retiring years.

  • Don't Make Cuts to Food Stamps
    The U.S. House passed a bill to cut food stamps (SNAP) by 144 billion over the next 10 years and make it into a block grant. The Senate is working on the SNAP legislation and asking for a cut of 4 billion. Sixty percent of food stamps feeds children and twenty percent goes to the elderly. Cutting any from food stamps in relation to the federal budget is like asking your child to give up his allowance to help with the mortage.

  • Gov. Corbett, PA State Legislature: Don't cut funding for Home and Community-Based Waiver Programs
    My name is Michael Pellicano. I am a quadriplegic who relies on the critical funding of the Home and Community Waiver Based Programs which help provide caregivers for the elderly, sick and disabled. The funding cut enacted by Gov. Corbett and PA legislature reduces care workers already low wages by $.45 an hour. These care workers receive no benefits of any kind. In addition this funding cut will hurt those most in need of assistance with basic daily care they are unable to do for themselves. Please tell Gov. Corbett and the PA legislature to stop these funding cuts.
