Hailey Owens, Springfield, MO., was Kidnapped and found dead in less then 3 hours. We the people should remember so such horrific crimes may never happen again.

Our middle school students want to reduce the number of throw away cups we use every day. Please use refillable bottles for water and a mug for coffee.

My daughter was placed and approved for adoption in Benton County last week. This was against my wishes. The judge and all parties involved acknowledged me as the biological father. I signed the putative father registry prior to the filing of the petition for adoption and prior to the birth of my daughter, but this did not ensure my rights as the father. The adoption agency involved assisted the mother in hiding the pregnancy, as did the adopting party. The adoption agency brags on its website that adoptions in Arkansas are much easier and only take six days to finalize as opposed to sixty or ninety days in most states.

As a resident of Detroit, i have been disenfranchised by the imposition of emergency manager and the filing for bankruptcy by the bankruptcy lawfirm that represent the creditors. Jones Day has no right to take over our city and our pensions.

We need to preserve Florida's Environment and protect its natural resources and water supplies for future Floridians to enjoy.

This coming Wednesday, February 26, the Nevada State Board of Education will vote on whether Nevada students will be taught climate science as part of the Next Generation Science Standards. But opposition from vocal groups to the new standards is growing across the country, including here in Nevada, in part because the standards teach kids the facts about climate change. State Board of Education members need to hear from parents, grandparents and science supporters immediately. This is a crucial moment that will determine whether or not Nevada students will receive a 21st science education, or whether they will be held back because of those who don’t “believe” in climate change and other accepted findings of science. At a time when climate change-impacted drought is threatening water supplies throughout Nevada, it’s more important than ever for Nevada students to gain a strong understanding of the causes and impacts of climate change so they can be part of the solution. Let’s send the Board a strong message that our kids deserve the best possible science education that includes learning about climate change. Please sign the petition calling on the Board to adopt the Next Generation Science Standards. If we act today, our children and grandchildren will thank us tomorrow! Sincerely, Gretchen Huie, Mom and Science Educator Zephyr Cove, NV

To repeal an amendment that promotes unfair treatment of faithful, financially and developmentally responsible non-custodial parents.

I run a specialty electronic cigarette shop in Ogden, UT. Most users of e-cigs are now FORMER smokers living drastically healthier lives by using pv's (personal Vaporizers) as an alternative to deadly, filthy tobacco. With Ray's proposed legislation, we would be banned from advertising, be held to manufacturing and sales standards that shops that sell beer and tobacco are not held to, and I oppose this blatant power-move and also oppose his fiction-based facts that he presents to constituents.

February 17, 2014 many of us lost a friend, amazing man, father, son and brother. If the law dictated helmets were mandatory for all riders, the injuries he suffered may not have taken him from us. Please help us to enforce The Jeddus Helmet Law. There should be no more heartache from losing loved ones.

My daughter is 7 years old and suffers from Crohn's disease. She has to take a terrible drug that is actually a chemotherapy drug. It is harming her liver badly. I am an insulin dependent diabetic, disabled veteran of the USMC/Desert Storm veteran and registered nurse. Medical Marijuana is a much safer alternative and there are MANY legitimate studies to support this. It's time to join the rest of America. We need to take back our freedom. Don't be afraid to sign this petition. THE PEOPLE OF KANSAS HAVE SPOKEN. RECENT POLLS INDICATE 70% OF KANSANS WANT MEDICAL MARIJUANA! Not to mention the extra revenue it would generate for the GREAT STATE OF KANSAS!

Recently I had to fly with my 9 year old daughter who has a life threatening peanut/tree nut allergy. Her peanut allergy is considered AIRBORNE and has a history of a reaction to being present in a room when a person had peanut butter crackers. I asked the flight attendant to make an announcement to just inform the passengers about her airborne peanut allergy. She refused. I specifically asked again and told her my daughters history and I only asked that she just inform the passengers of her allergy. I also stated that I was only asking to let everyone know, that I was not asking her to tell them not to eat peanut products. Just let them know so they can make an informed decision whether or not to do so. She told me that all airlines do not allow such announcements because of potential law suits of infringing on the rights of passengers to eat what they wish. I responded very calmly that what about the passengers rights to be informed of a life threading allergy ? What if someone did not know and opened a bag of peanuts and my daughter went into anaphylactic shock ? What if they would have easily not opened that product if they had been informed of such an allergy and it could have been avoided? What about the law suite of my daughters life threatening reaction and then the law suite of the passenger because they have to live with that guilt for the rest of their life? What about "your" own guilt at the refusal to make that announcement that could have saved my daughter from a life threatening reaction? This can all be avoided if they just make an informed announcement Just let the passengers be aware of the LIFE THREATENING AIRBORNE allergy...that is it.... It is that simple. KNOWLEDGE IS POWER...When you are informed, you make better decisions.... period

The State Department has issued their final biased report on the Keystone XL pipeline, and now John Kerry has to make his final recommendation to President Obama. We need to use this time to come together and say once and for all: "NO to Keystone XL!"
