We should all be enraged by the injustice of being hammered by the fracking industry and the Legislature. This Legislature has simply turned its back on the citizens of Kansas. We are experiencing living in a state where the rights, property values, and fears of citizens in the fracking zones are ignored. Why? Because you and I are not as important to the Legislature as the fracking industry. I am one of the victims of these earthquakes. My house has $14,000 worth of damage so far! My basement floor is cracked, my foundation has slipped, my walls are cracked and it is getting worse with every new quake. I got one side of my foundation repaired but I am not repairing anything else. As long as the quakes are still happening I won't keep throwing my hard earned money at repairs though there is still much more left to fix. The Kansas Corporation Commission has the power to fix this problem. Any comments you leave will go to straight to Commissioners Apple, Albrecht & Emler and to Governor Brownback.

This issue should concern all Americans. Getting moneyed interests out of our election process is the only way that we will ever be able to have fair elections. When elections are bought, it hurts everyone except those who bought them and those who sold them. We must fight back.

While this Bill does not directly affect me, that matters none. Nor does it matter that this current legislation is not about Race, or perhaps your state. What's important is that no American, including Gay or Straight, should ever be denied a Right to Live and Love as he or she desires. Also remember, Slippery Slopes move from state to state, group to group. This is a time for healing, for growing as a Nation of Peoples, coming together as one. #Americans. We are a better People than how our "Representatives" have thus far demonstrated to the world. But, until you and I band together and move our country past all the nonsense coming from long-lost eras, we will not live free! Live now, in this moment. We will do it together.

We fought our hearts out to win in Iowa. Documented mistakes and fraud (not speculation) show that Bernie Sanders is most likely the actual winner in Iowa. In Grinnell Ward 1, One of Bernie Sanders delegates was switched to Hillary Clinton by the Democratic headquarters. Precinct secretary J Pablo Silva discovered that this happened the next day, when checking the precinct results in other parts of the county. ~ The Guardian 2/5/16 How many times did that happen? Iowa Dem. Chair Andy McGuire won't let our people check the data. We played nice. We can't let them get away with this or it will continue! It is time the Sanders campaign sued for access to all official paper records at the precinct level. Especially the tallies before they were entered Monday night into the computer application. In solidarity, Heidi Strand Bernie Sanders 2016!

I am one of approximately 20 million people who live within a 50 mile radius of the Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant. Having a 42 inch natural gas pipeline run within 105 feet of Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant is a recipe for disaster. The possibility of a gas pipeline rupture within 105 feet of the Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant is not a risk that our elected officials should ask us to take.

At every election tensions increase and accusations of fraud abound. The possibility that at some point in the near future this mistrust will erupt into violence appears more likely than ever during this cycle. To alleviate this, and to ensure that our nation's government remains one that is of the people, by the people, and especially for the people, we need reassurance that every citizen has the opportunity to vote and that every vote is counted.

I am supporting Senator Marty's bill in the Senate and Carolyn Laine in the House. We need a cost analysis that is done by objective and unbiased parties to convince the legislature that a Single-Payer type system is far less costly than the system we are using now. Please sign by May 31.

I am a Licensed Practical Nurse, and have worked in and continue to volunteer in the community health field. Ohio House Bill 294 is a political move and is not in the best interest of women, infants and children in Ohio.

Emergency Management is an unjust law in Michigan. In 2012 Michigan voters rejected Public Act 4 (Michigan Proposal 1) by a percentage of 53% No votes and 47% Yes votes. A few months later the Michigan Republican House and Senate passed a new law, Public Act 436 in its place. My city , Pontiac, MI has been stripped of its assets: Fire, Water, Police, Department of Public Works and Lighting. Currently the city retirees pensions are being targeted. This law should be abolished. This is the same law that brought the water crisis to Flint, Michigan.

Customers often request to get tattoos on either their neck or face. They are turned away due to the current law, which restricts tattooing these body parts. Professional tattoo artists will normally turn people away for other reasons (like aesthetics or provocative imagery) that will have repercussions on the customer later in life. These decisions should be left to the individuals, not as a matter of legal prohibition. The sale of merchandise, any merchandise whatsoever, is also prohibited under the law. Many tattoo artists are also fine artists who produce works of art. The prohibition of sales of merchandise prevents an artist of great opportunities to sell their art. Additionally, the sale of miscellaneous merchandise will help strengthen the local economy and generate additional tax revenue for the state. The prohibition of these small details have a big, and negative, impact on the tattoo community and the culture of the public with whom we create art.

The UN working group on arbitrary detention has found that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has been arbitrarily detained in London for more than five years and should be released immediately. [1] Anthony Romero, executive director of the ACLU, said: “In light of this decision, it’s clear that any criminal charges against Mr. Assange in connection with WikiLeaks’ publishing operations would be unprecedented and unconstitutional. Indeed, even the prolonged criminal investigation of WikiLeaks itself has had a profound chilling effect. The Justice Department should end that investigation and make clear that no publisher will ever be prosecuted for the act of journalism.” [2] Urge the U.S. government to end all criminal investigations and threats of prosecution against Julian Assange and WikiLeaks by signing our petition.

Mr. Fragozo, EUSD Trustee, has become a distraction and a deterrent to a positive educational climate and, has failed to uphold his oath of office. His immediate resignation is needed to help remedy this situation.
