Another war would be very hard on our country. If talks would work it would raise our standing in the world as a country not always using bombs to get our way. Watching Iran carefully for 6 months while we work toward a settlement is not too much to ask.

The challenges posed by these negotiations are great enough without burdening them with further, probably deal-breaking, conditions. The point is to avoid war AND keep Iran from having nuclear weapons, not to make a war more likely - which is what Cantor's resolution is likely to do.

I and many others who have met Soering, read his books and reviewed the many articles about the case on his website believe strongly he should not have to spend the rest of his life in prison for a crime he did not commit.

To stop ALEC's operations, exposing them and their funders for all to see. Let legislators who accept their funds and push their legislation know that the American people support renewable energy.

With one out of three children overweight or obese school lunches have a heavy impact on children's health especially in the public school system where this is how many children receive their meals for the day. These lunches must have a much healthier balance of fruits, veggies, grains and meats to teach children healthy dietary habits that will lead to a healthier lifestyle! There are many benefits to changing these meals such as bringing in fresh local and seasonally grown fruits and veggies will lower the amount of sugars and sodium that are packed into canned foods used by cafeterias and will also stimulate the local economy. Also, eating healthier meals will have an impact of student performance in school and will help them stay focused and energized.

Since entering political office, Republican Governor Mary Fallin has been the leading promoter for privatizing Oklahoma's state park resorts & recreational areas. On January 31, 2014, Aubrey McClendon's Pointe Vista Development plans to complete payments on their 2008 land deal for Lake Texoma State Park, without complying with their contract to build a hotel and convention center. If Fallin and our state land commissioners accept this final payment, we lose our federally-protected park land and have nothing to show for it. Restore Lake Texoma State Park.

I am a concerned neighbor and a parent, who strongly believes that CHL's purposes will cause harmful effects to our community. This is a volunteer program for addictive juveniles and as addicts they could leave at their leisure and may cause trouble to our community in order to satisfy their addiction. As I imagine, this is not a problem that anyone would like to envision in their own community and that is why I seek your support.

Neuro-electromagnetic weapons work by blocking and re-wiring the neuro-transmitters in the brains of the victim. Like diversity in our DNA, there are some very common neuro-transmitters in humans and some very individualized neuro-transmitters. Creativity and other individualized properties, usually but not necessarily, depend upon individualized neurotransmitters. When NEM weapons are used against people, they lose coherence in speech, thought process and common motor activities and usually become a target of ridicule. But the neurotransmitters that are individualized to the victim and cannot be blocked give them good realization of their helplessness. This cruelty is hard to be described in words. Many times people around the victim are asked to cooperate either by fear of NEM Weapons or illusions of money while, of course, falsely justifying the morality behind retarding the victim. The victim has enough thought process to know the reality but inability to express himself makes it easy for everyone to ridicule him/her. It is very hard for people to imagine how this cruelty affects the victim. Many times some victims retain more control of their senses since they depend more on individualized neurotransmitters. In such situations extremely inhuman steps are taken to control the victim. Militaries of various countries are asked many times to force beverage companies to drug all bottled water and beverages in the city where victim resides so that chemicals required for success of NEM weapons could go into the body of the victim. When such actions are leaked, they tarnish the image of United States in other nations forever. Here is a very very brief and peripheral discussion of some of my experiences which of course, show different state of mind, as time advanced and I got more freedom. http://wilmott.com/messageview.cfm?catid=15&threadid=94796&FTVAR_MSGDBTABLE=&STARTPAGE=1

We believe that the solution to violence is compassion and connection, which can be taught through the Nonviolent Communication system of Marshall B. Rosenberg, which teaches us to explore the needs we have that are not being met and lead to conflict. We believe that through mandatory classes that teach us to have empathy for each other through understanding our needs and others' needs behind the issues of conflict, nonviolent solutions that satisfy our joint needs can be discovered. Violence affects us all in our society, and education is a major key to ending it.

Wall Street wants our schools. We say no. Public education is under attack from the same set of people who thought it was okay for Wall Street criminals to entrap school districts around the country in “interest rate swaps” that were sold as ways to guarantee steady income for the critical job of educating our kids. Instead they turned out to be massive drains on school budgets, for example, costing Philadelphia $331 million [1] and Chicago $150 million (and another $36 million every year). [2] In addition, so-called “reformers” are pushing kids to become test-taking automatons, while creating ways for for-profit charter schools, many of them online-only, to siphon off critical public school investments , short changing our children’s future to line the pockets of private, usually out-of-state, corporations dedicated primarily to the bottom line. No longer. We are joining with tens of thousands of parents, educators, community residents, faith leaders, and front-line union members to Reclaim the Promise of Public Education and sign on to the Principles That Unite Us. (You can see the full Principles here: http://www.reclaimpublicednow.org/home) These principles form the vision the drives our opposition to the corporate-funded education “reform” agenda that wants a market-based system of schooling based on high-stakes testing and Wisconsin-style attacks on front-line teachers. At their core, these principles envision a public education system seeks to ensure that all kids excel in school and everyone who wants to go is prepared to succeed in college. This, we believe, would be fulfilling the promise of public education. Please to take a moment to stand up and join in with the thousands of others demanding public schools that work for all of our children regardless of where they live, what color their skin is, and how wealthy (or not) their parents are. Endorse the principles by signing above. [1] “Too Big to Trust? Banks, Schools, and the Ongoing Problem of Interest Rate Swaps”, Sharon Ward, PA Budget and Policy Center, January 2012, page 1.

I am fighting for the rights of the most vulnerable children in a wonderful special education program, that is more like a family. These children have a right to be educated in their communities. They have a right to have their unique needs met. Please help me fight for the rights of our most fragile and vulnerable children, thank you.
