I'm disabled, and my health insurance is Medicare. I must carry my Medicare card (i.e. Social Security number) with me at all times, which greatly increases my chance of being a victim of identity theft. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services should adopt different id numbers.

As the Founder of the school and the one who wrote the charter application with Dr. Knowles, I know that the vision of the Eagle Arts Academy is unique and special and needs to move forward. Due to Dr. Nichols resignation due to health issues, we now only have two board members, and are required to have a minimum of three. To protect the vision and the school, I believe that I am the best candidate to be on the board and be Chairman, again. Thank you for your consideration and support. Gregory James Blount

I was driving down the road when I spotted a woman walking a severely emaciated dog. The dog could hardly walk and she continued to pull the leash and force it to walk even though it seemed to be in pain. I called 911 and they transferred me to animal control. Animal control told me to file a complaint online. This dog will most likely never be seen again and will probably die of starvation. We need to have some sort of emergency response for these animals. Whether it be a local police department or more accountablily from animal control, something needs to change. If it were a starving child, they would not have been forgotten on the side of the road.

School District 203 will be losing $ (9,450,444) because of this bill. Our children are our future, we should not cut educational funding this big.

When I put some grid connected solar panels on my modest Milwaukee WI roof a couple years ago, at the same time that I was trying to get our 30+ year old home to be as energy efficient as possible, I certainly didn't do it for the money. I did it as one tiny way to help the planet instead of hurting it. With our panels and other efficiency upgrades combined, our average WE Energy bills have been roughly half of what they used to be. I actually thought I might be helping WE Energies out as well, since I know sourcing more green energy is a goal for them. The current plan to raise fixed charges for all WE Energies customers, rich and poor, energy hogs and energy sippers alike, feels like a slap in the face, and is most frustrating since it will hurt low income and low energy consumers the most, take away financial incentives for both individuals and businesses to conserve energy, and is completely unnecessary, since by slightly raising the cost of energy consumed instead, they could not only meet their financial needs, but encourage conservation and green energy production at the same time.

I was born in a Constitutional Country or at least was lied about it- I was robbed 162 gold mines belonging to me and dad and Brothers and sisters; was robbed $74 million after discovering that bombs placed in US bases was CIA not terrorists, was robbed the gold and silver in 162 gold lodes belonging to my father and me (estimated 27 million ounces of gold and similar amount of silver-approx. $100 billion), I was robbed properties and estate of my mother sum can exceed $90 million, I was robbed technology under US patent 66809714 belonging to me Charles E willmore approx. $400 billion covers iphone, ipad, ipod, youtube, ebay, ebooks Skype, touch screen ATM machines , and some aspects of facebook plus several other claims yet untouched- worse the technology was robbed by bullying my lawyers , possibly kidnapping son of another lawyer and a string of dead-including machine gunned cousin, and machine gunned witness. iposted acclaim under the US Cnstitution totally legal and CIA did not respond-under UCC (Uniform Commercial Code Rules ) a non reply is acceptance of my claim of $335 billion -yet they continue robbing ! We need to protect inventors not only myself but all and have Human Rights restored to us. If we do not stop 'US govet agencies from robbing from independent inventors- soon there will be no incentive to invent and this would make us go back into the Dark ages as a Third world country we need to protect those that improve our lives-it is estimated that 100 thousand inventors were messed up by "government agencies in last few years"

A decision is brewing in Texas that could affect students across America. Texas Board of Education member David Bradley is trying to stop students from learning the facts about climate change. Bradley is pressuring fellow Board members to approve new social studies textbooks for K-12 students that deny the scientific consensus on climate change. Since Texas is the nation’s second largest buyer of textbooks, books produced for the state are often sold around the country. Therefore, if the Texas Board of Education approves scientifically inaccurate textbooks, students nationwide will be negatively impacted. Bradley said recently, "Whether global warming is a myth or whether it's actually happening, that's very much up for debate. Don't listen to anyone who tells you otherwise.” The broad scientific community in the US and abroad links the burning of fossil fuels to climate change with the same level of certainty with which it links smoking to lung cancer. Communities across the country, including Texas, are currently confronting climate impacts including flash floods, extreme drought and heat waves. Students have a right to be taught accurate information about the causes and consequences of climate change, so they can help develop solutions to the biggest global challenge their generation will face. Tell the Texas Board of Education to refuse to consider any textbooks for adoption that deny or censor the scientific consensus on human caused climate change!

BOTH responsible gun owners and non-gun owners demand action. The open carrying of firearms on the streets and in places like restaurants, grocery stores, malls, playgrounds, parks and neighborhoods intimidates the public, wastes law enforcement resources, and increases the risk that someone will be injured or killed from the accidental or intentional use of firearms. Open carry advocates create a potentially very dangerous situation. When law enforcement is called to a "man with a gun" call, they are responding to a situation about which they have few details other than that one or more people are present at a location and are armed. Consequently, the law enforcement response is one of "hypervigilant urgency" in order to protect the public from an armed threat. When ELECTED OFFICIALS do not take action to prevent gun violence, Americans will take matters into their own hands with their VOTES. Let these political candidates know that they will NOT get your VOTE unless they address gun violence and implement change. BOTH responsible gun owners and non-gun owners demand action. All 50 states now have some form of Concealed Carry; open carry is no longer a necessary option. The carrying of unloaded rifles has absolutely no defensive utility other than to be used for the express purpose of intimidation. Simply because one has the "right" to do something, does not make it the right thing to do.

The students and teachers at Cardinal Ridge Elementary School should be allowed to have a snack during the school day. A hungry child loses interest in the subject matter they are studying. In addition to the educational benefits, snacking meets a necessary physical need for the students. Since children have smaller stomachs than adults, healthy snacking between meals provides nutrients to help them meet their daily nutritional needs. The USDA reports that healthy snacks can satisfy nutrient gaps and provide up to 1/4 of a child’s daily energy needs.
