Parents at Premier Martial Arts should bring there kids to a karate school and park their car up to the building and come in. Unfortunately Enterprise Car Rental business next door takes up majority of the parking in the shopping center, therefore the children and parents have to park very far making it very difficult to the children to make their classes.

To help fund our state heroes in their time of need to help pay medical co-pays, medicine, medical bills of time missed from work after their vacation or comp time runs out.

H.R. 2286: MOMS Act provides comprehensive solutions, including a national consumer education campaign, so that families can make more informed decisions; federal research and national databasing of the most current, scientifically supported best practices; and improved education for maternity care professionals across the disciplines. It will also help to open up access to proven safer, less expensive options for maternity care, including birth centers (with a 6% national C-section rate), professional labor support (shown to decrease the incidence of Cesarean by 28%), and appropriate midwifery led care. The cost savings – including to taxpayers, who pay for about half of all U.S. births – are enormous: around $5 billion each year by cutting the national Cesarean rate in half, to the safer levels suggested by the World Health Organization and other health organizations! I urge you to support and cosponsor H.R. 2286 for all our families. Let’s end this maternity care crisis!

Congress has acted forcefully to bail out Wall Street from the ravages of the Great Recession, but little has been done to help Main Street. Meanwhile, our education ranking has fallen to #33 in the world, income inequality is #44, infrastructure is #23, and labor participation has declined to 63.2%. Just as we outlawed cartels that monopolized competition in 1890, it is time to outlaw dodgy tax haven practices that allow corporations to evade billions in taxes and have beggered communities across the land.

I work in a healthfood store and I still see a tremendous amount of plastic bags used and wasted. The chemicals these bags leach into our water supply and into the water supply of our marine life is toxic. Our land fills are overcome by so many non-biodegradable plastics that this is a first step in a long line of things we must do to start making a difference.

The reasoning for the ordinance proposed by this petition is that neonicotinoid pesticides have been shown to harm bee populations more than other pesticides, in that neonicotinoids continue to be toxic to insect populations such as bees long after the initial application, in a manner that has been compared by scientists to that of the chemical DDT. Bee populations are necessary pollinators of plants that humans depend on for food and an environment conducive to the health and well-being of themselves and other life.

Over two years ago, we came together around our shared dedication to building alternative philanthropic models, specifically those that support New Mexico’s most culturally and economically vital nonprofit arts organizations. We incorporated as Catalyst Club and began work on our first project: ArtBar – a membership-based nonprofit club in Downtown Albuquerque that would generate grant funds through the sale of alcohol. We are incredibly saddened to report that we will be closing ArtBar in July of 2014 after an incredible year of operations. The State of New Mexico’s Alcohol & Gaming Department has, through subjective and arbitrary interpretation of regulations, made it impossible for us to continue this enterprise. We are, of course, upset by the loss of ArtBar and of the beautiful micro-community that blossomed around it. We are most distraught, though, by the circumstances surrounding its closure. We want to treat this as an opportunity for meaningful dialogue and change. Please join us.

This bill is the best way for us to strengthen the voting rights that are fundamental to a healthy, vibrant democracy.

Nearly 90 percent of abortion providers have had patients fear for their safety, and 80 percent have had to call the police because of safety concerns.

Before we push through a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United and McCutcheon, we're going to need a transparency bill to reveal just how much money is corrupting our politics.

Harry Reid needs to stop hanging out with lobbyists, and spend more time talking to the voters.

On June 19, the House took an important step by prohibiting the transfer of MANPADS (shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles) to actors in Syria. [1] House passage of the bipartisan Conyers-Yoho-Welch-Amash-Grayson-DesJarlais-Nolan amendment showed that Members of the House understood that these are particularly dangerous weapons due to the possibility that they could be used by terrorists against civilian planes in Israel and elsewhere. [2] [3] [4] Recent events in Iraq have shown that there is no border separating Sunni insurgents fighting the government of Syria from Sunni insurgents fighting the government of Iraq, nor any boundary between different groups of Sunni insurgents. Members of the Senate Defense Appropriations Subcommittee are in a unique position to advance this legislation. They could virtually ensure that the House provision becomes law by including it in the Senate’s Defense Appropriation. References: 1.
