Small websites are the method for my voice to be heard and my art to be seen (and purchased). If this is adopted, many like me will be silenced and unable to earn an income, which violates our rights and hinders our chances at the American dream.

An open Internet is very important to everyone. My daughter is home-schooled online, and slowing that down would make the whole thing much more tedious and time consuming. As an avid internet user, I would definitely leave websites that take way too long to navigate. The internet should not be changed so that sites have to pay to have faster access. I have a healing business and have a website, and I would not be able to pay to be in the "fast lane," so I'm sure that would impact my business. We need to keep Net neutrality and a level playing field for everyone. We need our representatives to convince FCC chairman Tom Wheeler to rewrite the proposal before the May 15 FCC meeting.

The Internet changed my life. I created a new career for myself in web work, designing and maintaining websites, and my web skills have been in demand in every job I have held since 1997. Using the web, I have been able to promote for my clients in an effective and inexpensive manner. I have been able to do vast amounts of research for every job I have held, plus a novel I wrote with my husband. Recently, I have been researching my family roots and writing for a family blog.

Personal health issues and concern for the public. People visit here from all over the world. Let's try to clean our air to protect our lungs.

Republicans backed the racist Nevada rancher. Republicans have told lie after lie about what would happen if gays marry, women are paid equally, minimum wage workers get a raise, and it goes on and on... But Democrats, who should be playing ads that show Republicans praising the racist rancher, talking down pay equity & being insensitive about raising the minimum wage (among other things) DO NOTHING. DEMOCRATS NEED TO REMIND US OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS UNDER OUR PRESIDENT AND SHOULD CONSTANTLY REMIND US OF REPUBLICAN HYPERBOLE AND LIES. Let Democrats know that you will NEVER donate to their campaigns if they are going to fight with one hand tied behind their backs!

The dangerous particulate matter spewed into the air by leaf blowers contributes to and aggravates respiratory problems and pollution levels.

The city of Huntsville needs public transpotation with more accessibility to buses, better routes and extended hours. The area could also benefit from new ideas and greener tranportation.

Fractionalization in the Jewish Community has never been good for Jewish people or the state of Israel. Friendly fire from with the Jewish community should not be tolerated as a substitute for difficult discussions and finding common ground. Leadership of organizations allegedly representing us need to be continually reminded we are a distinct, but very diverse multicultural minority and need to work together on important issues. Excluding Jewish voices or threatening to leave any group trying to represent a "big tent" group of people and positions is not easy, but there needs to be inclusion and the listening to the other even when there are difficult disagreements.

Mr. President, my name is Oren Kalman. I live in Israel and I am a teacher teaching coexistence amongst people and amongst the Fauna and Flora. The key to future generations is coexistence, in Israel and worldwide. Mr. President, you are a Nobel prize winner for peace. I ask you to stand against exploitation of the arctic. Save the Arctic from GazProm and Shell. A warm Shalom-Salaam-Peace from Israel!

Does a truly Intelligent species overpopulate, pollute, poison, rape and murder their own Planet, committing its own destruction as a species in the process? No, a truly intelligent species does not. Let us try not to be a footnote in Galactic History as a species stupid enough to commit both Suicide and Planetary Biocide at the same time.

I've watched enough water wasted on trying to make apartments aesthetically charming, but other ground cover that is more natural to our drought state should be used instead. There should be a limit to the amount of water used by apartment sprinkler systems - SPECIFICALLY sprinklers. They are rammed into by cars, not repaired, and not maintained well enough. Private water use is high enough. A tax incentive of a few dollars would stop this water waste easily.

As the president of BiNet USA, I work to advocate for bisexual people in America. As a friend of Larry Nelson, Brenda Howard’s surviving companion, I am deeply upset over the mistreatment of her legacy (Brenda passed from cancer in 2005). As a bi woman who has battled suicidality and survived sexual assault, I too represent the resiliency of the bisexual spirit in the face of poorer health and safety than our gay and straight counterparts.
