As one of the leaders for the homeless society I hear so many stories of dysfunction in the families since their childhood that we need to rear our children with respect to honoring GOD for the future.

I have not been personally affected by this issue, but it would be a wonderful contribution to a much needed service in the community. The nearest Trauma Center is now far enough away that people are suffering and or dying before they can get proper care.

The community's support is needed to achieve our purpose to rebuild our church and show to the Central Diocese of the PNCC that we do exist as a parish.

We need clean energy and we need a safer Dixie Highway. The Dixie Highway Corridor Solar Project will give us both of these.

We are parents and treating professionals of children with autism who want our children and clients to have access to ALL proven methods of therapy prescribed by their doctors. There is a lobby to remove the options of other approaches (e.g., relationship-based) from insurance plans, thereby grossly limiting parents’ choice to only one treatment approach (behaviorism). Parents should have the ability to choose the treatment they feel gives their child the best chance for success.

Residents have asked for an asphalt path along the east side of Highway 75 from Saddle Road south to Ketchum. Pedestrian and bicycle safety is a concern in our community, especially during peak seasons. We need your support for this project as we begin discussions with Idaho Transportation Department. Please sign this petition.

The Senate has passed an anti-consumer bill designed to keep consumers in the dark about the GMOs in their food, and the House has indicated it will support the bill, even though Senate Ag Chair Mike Conaway admits the bill is "riddled with ambiguity." This bill would also preempt more than 100 other state food safety and labeling laws! It would delay labeling for at least another 2 years. It would exempt most of the common GMO ingredients. It allows companies to hide information about GMOs behind confusing electronic codes that discriminate against anyone without a smartphone or internet access. And contrary to claims by its supporters, this bill is not mandatory--it contains no mechanism for enforcement and comes with no penalties for non-compliance. If Congress passes this bill, opposed by nine out of 10 Americans, our last resort will be a veto by President Obama. In a campaign speech Obama gave in 2007, in Iowa, he said, “Here’s what I’ll do as President . . . . We’ll let folks know whether their food has been genetically modified, because Americans should know what they’re buying.” On May 20, 2009, Obama issued an Executive Order to heads of executive departments and agencies stating that “preemption of State law by executive departments and agencies should be undertaken only with full consideration of the legitimate prerogatives of the States and with a sufficient legal basis for preemption.” A court has already ruled that Vermont's law is constitutional. Vermont’s law is working. Corporations are already printing the words “produced with genetic engineering” on labels. If Congress is concerned about creating a uniform mandatory labeling standard, Congress should support a federal bill that is as strong or stronger than Vermont's law--not one that is unenforceable, full of loopholes, and allows companies to hide information behind confusing symbols. GMOs are required to be labeled in 64 other countries. But despite the fact that nine out of 10 Americans say they want this information, thanks to nearly $400 million in lobbying by the biotech and food industries, Congress wants to keep this information hidden from Americans. Please ask President Obama to veto this anti-consumer, discriminatory, deeply flawed DARK Act.

The Clean Power Plan to put limits on carbon pollution from power plants for the first time was just unveiled by President Obama. But dirty energy interests, together with their allies in Congress, are aggressively working to stop this crucial climate action policy in its tracks. The day after the final plan was released, the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, headed by infamous climate denier James Inhofe (R-OK), passed a bill that would effectively kill the Clean Power Plan. Among other things, the "Polluter Protection Act" would allow states to opt out of the Clean Power Plan, and prevent it from being implemented until all lawsuits are settled, which could take decades. This unacceptable bill will be coming to the full Senate soon, and Senator Kirk's vote will help determine its fate. Senator Kirk voted for legislation to undermine the Clean Plan earlier in the year. We need to make sure he puts the interests of kids and climate before polluters this time. Sign the petition to tell Senator Kirk to stand up for our kids and climate, and reject attacks on the Clean Power Plan!

This addresses a set of concerns raised by the recent spill into the Animas River. As a resident downstream from historical mining sites, I have some concern that my family and community may face future similar threats. As a resident in the region, I anticipate negative impacts on the local economy and on one of my favorite watersheds in the state. I am concerned about future similar events if the EPA is inadequately funded.

The Iran deal is a very good plan, and one that could keep us out of another unnecessary and costly war. For us and for future generations, this is a deal we should not pass up.
