My daughter and her husband now have a baby boy, because they had the money to have IVF. Many others have no chance! This is a medical condition and should be covered by insurance.

There is a lot to do here in Maine other than provide huge tax breaks for the rich. I want my governor to focus on funding education, infrastructures, job creation, increased wages and poverty reduction. Maine must move forward.

Women who conceive from rape and choose to keep their children can be forced to choose between pursuing prosecution for their attackers or dropping rape charges in return for full custody of their children. Or, perhaps worse, must face the possibility of sharing parental rights with someone who has assaulted them. Tell Iowa lawmakers that this is unacceptable and legislation is needed to protect victims of sexual assault in our state!

If we don't act now, we will continue to wreak havoc on our food supply by destroying the micro-organisms and worms in the soil, eliminating milkweed (monarch's food supply) and potentially losing our pollinators through poisoning of our soils in general. There has been extensive research now which is available to everyone that may not realize the importance of this.

All citizens deserve equal rights. The citizens of Huntington County should stand up and DEMAND that out legislators vote the will of the people, not the will of special interest groups that fund their campaigns!

I suffer from chronic back and neck pain and I am forced to either live in pain or take addicting and potentially deadly pain killers. I know that marijuana is much safer and it isn't addicting at all. It helps with my pain, but I can't legally use it. I am personally affected, and I would get off all of the pain medication if I could legally use marijuana. Also, I know at least 10 more people in my same situation. It is also wonderful for treating insomnia which I also suffer from. I also just read about a man with COPD or chronic obstructive pulminary disorder who is now able to work and not be on oxygen anymore all because of medical marijuana. I have also been diagnosed with COPD.

New Jack City, The Wire and Scarface did not help their respective cities. More recently, when VH1 released Sorority Sisters, the African-American Sororities acted with such swift action, it resulted in a cancellation of the show. We have to do the same. Portraying our city, our neighborhoods and our residents as violent reinforces bad stereotypes in and around our community. The film will make it more difficult for us to attract high-tech industry, businesses, shops, cafes, gyms and programs for our youth. A movie like this will create a new audience of people that currently do not think of our communities as bad places. We do not need this. Sign the petition to stop the filming of "Chiraq".

I have too many clients struggling to make ends meet, and now our government is blocking much-needed Medicaid expansion. Grandparents raising grandchildren, as a guardian and not as an adoptive parent, are hit particularly hard. The government wants to use the grandparents' income in some cases when determining Medicaid qualification, and this holds up the process for children to get braces and the other medical assistance they need.

This issue relates to many other issues-undocumented people, civil rights, health care, poverty, and crime.

I wish to improve the budget shortfalls and employ all teachers and education personnel. All families and students should be allowed access to no cost or low cost books, equipment, field trips, and special events in a safe environment.

It's something that needs to be done

I work in the downtown area of Los Angeles and I see hundreds of homeless people living on the streets and most will go hungry because they don't have enough money to eat that day. Here's a way for you to help end hunger for the homeless. This money can fund food programs for them.
