The current DNR Wolf Advisory Committee is comprised almost solely of groups that are anti wolf and as such cannot be called upon to recommend policy that will keep a sustainable wolf population in this state.

The disastrous Citizens United ruling by the Supreme Court has allowed virtually unlimited spending on election campaigns by corporate special interests and the rich. Result: UNLIMITED CORRUPTION! Congress has failed to pass an amendment to address this urgent problem. If we don't act now and get more states to call for a U. S. Article V convention to bypass Congress and propose amendments to the US Constitution, for direct ratification vote by the states, including an amendment to overturn Citizens United, the damage to our democracy, economy, environment and our lives will get far worse. An Article V convention of states' delegates is the remedy the founders put into our Constitution for exactly this kind of situation.

It's about me getting banned. I lost everything, all the money wasted, my friends, everything. I really need to get unbanned..

I know that until we pass those two Amendments anything else that we do is really inconsequential and unworkable. We cannot pass laws limiting money and corporate power in the face of this Judicially Activist Supreme Court without this.

Glencore Xstrata locked out 450 employees at Gregory, Texas in October 2014 when the workers refused to accept cuts to retirement and health benefits and overtime pay. Glencore Xstrata should end the lock-out and return to the negotiating table with the United Steel Workers local 235-A.

The Barmitzvah that I attended moved me to think we all could use such a ceremony, shaping our self image as adults. I feel there is nothing similar and that we could benefit by writing the text, asking ourselves at the same time just what it is to grow up, and what we should be asking of our children. Turning it into a tradition wouldn't be so hard. And what a good reason to party!

To the East Hampton Town board members: East Hampton Airport was traditionally intended to serve local pilot-owned and operated aircraft for personal recreation and transportation. Yet, aircraft noise due to unintended and non-traditional users of East Hampton Airport -- commercially operated helicopters, jets, and seaplanes -- has grown to become an intolerable burden on the peaceful enjoyment of our homes and gardens, both near to and distant from the airport, upon our beaches, waterways, and preserved open space, and upon wildlife habitat throughout the East End. This occurred over time, without local design or consent, due to Federal Aviation Administration control over the airport. Attempts to protect homes by directing traffic over preserved open space and wildlife habitat are both unacceptable and a demonstrated failure. Now that FAA control has lapsed, it is imperative that the East Hampton Town Board immediately return East Hampton Airport to its traditional and intended use, reclaiming our precious peace and quiet, by imposing a curfew and excluding helicopters and other aircraft types noisier than the pilot-owned and operated aircraft for which the airport was designed and intended.

2014 The Cowboy Rides Away, and George Strait called an end to his touring, but I am not ready to see him go just yet. I didn't get a chance to go to any of the concerts on the "Cowboy Rides Away Tour", due to illness, so I would like to see him one more time, hopefully a 2016 reunion tour.

Tired of the rising crime rate in our city? Want to do something about it? Sign our petition to let our elected officials that we want this and want to be involved!

Ever since the City restriped Holly Street in July 2014 without giving residents enough notice and without an EIR, Holly residents have a tough time getting in and out of driveways and it is unsafe for everyone, children especially!

Dogs that are trained as service dogs are closer to their owners than even our beloved pets. It's cruel to separate veterans from their dogs who have been not just a source of comfort, but sometimes actual life savers. Allowing the vets to bring their dogs home with them is a tangible way of saying "Thank you for your service."
