The Voting Rights Act is an extremely important piece of legislation that was passed during the Civil Rights era, but was unfortunately weakened significantly by last year's Supreme Court decision. Right now, Congress can improve and restore the protections which this legislation once served, by passing this important bill. Rep. Frelinghuysen should support this effort by co-sponsoring this bill.

The Private Option is a vitally important program to the working poor in our state. It covers people who are starting their own businesses, the self-employed, as well as students who are over 27 and looking to further their careers. It assists 215,000 low-income Arkansans who could not previously afford or were deemed "ineligible" due to pre-existing conditions to finally have health coverage, provide much-needed annual checkups, immunizations, mental health services, as well as saving an estimated 1,100 lives every year in our state. The program will also save the state money while injecting nearly a billion dollars to local health providers. As of February 26, there are 127,051 Arkansans who are currently enrolled and benefiting from the program, with a total of 189,000 applications submitted. The Private Option helps to lower the median age of the Arkansas Insurance Marketplace, which will help keep insurance rates on the exchange lower. As you may have heard, the Private Option is under attack by some in the legislature. Some of the more conservative members of the House of Representatives and Senate would like to derail the Private Option. This would kick these hard working Arkansans off their new plans, as well as cost the state money. Arkansas has a provision for a balanced budget. In 2014 alone Arkansas will save $89 million by implementing the Private Option. If the legislature successfully defunds the Private Option these savings will go away and one of two things will happen: 1) The legislature will have to repeal tax cuts, raising taxes on Arkansas families. 2) The state's budget will have to cut vital services to replace the money that the state is losing in lieu of defunding the Private Option, further harming our state. Please help to ensure that the Private Option stays available to our state by signing and SHARING this petition and urge our lawmakers to re-authorize the Private Option!

I am appalled by the efforts of the right wing of Congress to deny citizens the right to vote if they do not have a drivers license or passport. Many older citizens do not have these documents.

This bill would effectively eliminate airsoft in California. A Hobby which Includes many service members,business owners,veterans and re-enactors. The change would require all airsoft replicas (a hobby in which realistic-looking replica guns are used to propel BBs at participants to tag one another as "out") to be painted entirely bright colors. While aimed to prevent law enforcement from mistaking "toy" guns as real weapons, this further endangers law enforcement officers as real guns could easily be painted to deter an officer from protecting his or herself."

Every person's right to vote must be protected. Too many have sacrificed their lives protecting this freedom. It's a matter of honor, whether you agree with the person who suffers disenfranchisement or not. Protect the vote. Protect the majority.

This is an issue of fairness and important to preserving our democracy.

The guest bathrooms should be available to all individuals living in Kappa Alpha Theta because all attendants pay their fees to use all of the facilities of this house. Even if these bathrooms were only used for guests, it would still be a considerable hassle to unlock the doors for every single guest visit. If there were considerable damage being done to the guest bathrooms, such an action might be reasonable. On another note, the door to the Conversation Room should be reinstalled. Without this room there is an incredible lack of privacy in the house. All residents of this house should be able to receive private calls, take interview calls, etc. in a quiet, secluded place. The Conversation Room has always been such a place, and the room, as it stands now, serves no intermittent purpose.

The New Jersey Coalition For Fair Elections in El Salvador was started by members of Pax Christi, several prominent Labor Unions and concerned citizens to advocate for neutrality in the upcoming Feb 2, 2014 elections in El Salvador.

As students of Blacksburg High School, we feel that we would be limited in our academic success with only seven classes. Many students would not be able to take all the classes they desired, therefore limiting their own stride to become more educated people. Students who wish to take electives, fine arts, and career/technical classes will also be restricted in their choice because they will not have as many periods to do so. School spirit and morale will decline when students do not have a community that they enjoy participating in. If students DO take an eighth class after school as offered, they cannot participate in athletics and other extra-curricular activities that they formerly have. Therefore, having eight classes AND a lunch is the best way to serve the Blacksburg community.
