Since 2006, required (Chiropractic) CE hours have doubled, yet permitted Online (home study) CE hours have not increased - despite continued improvement in the quality of online education and many other states (and professions) often allowing most if not all, CEs to be completed through this medium. Allowing at LEAST 50% of TN Chiropractic CEs to be undertaken this way would help TN Chiropractors stay current in a cost-effective and efficient manner.

A small group of Tea Partiers are petitioning the California State Legislature to form the State of Jefferson. This effort would result in the poorest state in the Union, financially bankrupt as soon as it became a state. There are no provisions for schools, colleges, roads, law enforcement or fire protection. We can ill afford to remain silent and let a small radical group represent us without saying "NO"!

Members of my family travel for business and pleasure. Would our representatives like to prevent themselves as well as their family members dying from carbon monoxide poison?

While I could not personally have an abortion, it is not my place or anyone else's place to tell women how to conduct their lives. It makes me angry that this issue comes up with every election.

We need a concerted effort to stop this assault on reproductive rights and women's rights.

Everyone will be personally affected by this.

My 15 yr old daughter was hit by a car walking to PMHS August 29, 2014. She has always had a bus until the budget cuts made for the 2012-2013 school year. The walk is 1.3 miles, 100% commercial and during the morning commute. The buses need to be returned before someone's child is killed.

Before my 3 year old daughter was taken away from me 100%, I offered shared custody with no support to the father. I offered because it was the right thing to do, two created the child. That was not good enough for the father and the court. Still today I constant and continuously contend with deep rooted judicial corruption, abuse, misuse and lack of use of family laws. Incompetence and lack of accountability in family court and my local Massachusetts government continues to rule the day. My senator, state rep, congressman, attorney general and governor and it's agencies and commissions all say they have no power to intervene. Yet, they ask for our votes and promise accountability and change. Family Court needs a "head", judicial and political accountability . I am calling for a probate and family court reform and personnel cleanse. I am calling for tenure limits on Judges positions. I am calling on change for how long in time a Judge should be allowed to take in order to bring balance in each case. I am calling on the distinction from family court and criminal court - today they look alike. Parents and family come to family court and many walk out a criminal of this court. There is no way I could sum up 7 years and counting and no accountability or intervention. Mothers, fathers, children, all need your help creating a positive change.

My family business is in jeopardy because large corporations have out-ruled the mom and pop businesses in the nation.

The FDA does not require disclosure of the addictive properties of Oxycodone and other Opioids, either by the doctors or the warnings accompanying the prescription. This addiction is a rapidly growing epidemic, often leading to death, so immediate action is necessary. A family member was prescribed Oxycodone for pain after surgery and took it unaware of the addictive nature. He is now addicted and unable to stop .

I NEED TO MEET MY IDOL

Research shows that teenagers have difficulty sleeping before 10:30 pm, and that they need 8.5 - 9.5 hours of sleep per night. Moving school start times to later than 8:30 am improves student performance and graduation rate and lowers depression rates in teens. Yet high schools in Missoula start at 7:55 am. Additionally, high schools finish at 3:00 pm, which means that many teens are home alone for several hours before their parents. If MCPS high schools started at 8:55 am and finished at 4:00 pm, teens would be more likely to get needed sleep and less likely to get into trouble during the afternoons.
