Outsourced Visual Effects are displacing millions of American workers. Companies using foreign artists need to pay for the costs of displacing these U.S. workers, and these fees will also reduce the incentive for these companies to send these services out in the first place. Tariffs are applied to products because Union pressure forced the Government to apply tariffs for outsourced goods. The professions that are being displaced are not represented by unions, the government needs to get directly involved. Tariffs need to be applied to outsourced Visual Effects to provide income from the studios to help pay for the Government assistance that is being spent AS A DIRECT RESULT of their outsourcing. In accordance with some legal research already done in this area, the implementation of this tariff could use the "Countervailing Duty" (CVD) to accomplish this goal. This law is already in place, and would be the easiest way to implement this goal.

We have the right to know what is in our foods.

I believe that any public servant who gives his/her life serving their country deserves important recognition in order to preserve his/her legacy for future generations.

"Dean" was a young, easily influenced resident of a halfway house for alcoholics and addicts where I volunteered for many years. Over 10 years that I knew him, I saw our criminal justice turn him into a hard, possibly lifelong criminal by treating his drug problems with increasingly long incarcerations, rather than the mental health and substance abuse treatment he needed. "Dean" was like a lot of people I met at that halfway house. They told me that the majority of prisoners had drug and alcohol problems -- and for many that's why they were locked up. Now,we're hearing the call for more jail cells in Los Angeles. But a better use of our taxes would be to improve community-based mental health and substance services. And that would give "Dean" and thousands like him a better chance at a useful, productive. Please make this issue a central plank in your 2014 election campaigns.

Removing this rule will create a more democratic House of Representatives.

My name is Tammy Kevwitch and I live in Livingston, Montana. I was diagnosed six years ago with bipolar disorder and post traumatic stress disorder. I was more than willing to try psychiatric medications, but the drugs had severe side effects, so I quit taking them. For years I have managed my symptoms without drugs, but it's required over 20 hours per week of counseling, behavioral and cognitive therapy, plus lots of support groups just to cope with my illness. I became very active in mental health for myself and my community. In February of 2013, I was given a bottle to try of EMPowerPlus Q96, a non-drug micronutrient formula that crosses the blood-brain barrier. Most of my symptoms were resolved within one week and I've continued to improve ever since. I'm one of over 100,000 people who have benefitted from it. I'm now on a mission to save the state taxpayers millions of dollars and get EMPowerPlus Q96 into the hands of Montanans who need it the most.

Research on effects of consuming GMO food was NEVER initiated in the USA. International research demonstrates harmful, carcinogenic effects. "We, the people" should NO LONGER be lab rats regarding th effects of consuming GMO food! The reasons for GMO's and the trickery of having them are detailed. We MUST eliminate the SOURCE of the GMO PROBLEM!! Listen!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_z6lZ8q3Z_o

We have the right to know what we are eating so we can make wise, health conscious decisions about what we eat and put into our bodies. GMO's have been shown to cause a host of ailments in the bodies of both humans and animals including, but not limited to, GI issues and are not proven safe for consumption. Both my daughter and I have been affected personally by GMO's and have friends who have lost pregnancies because of GMO's. It's time we join 64 other world countries and label GMO's and understand they are not in the world's best interest.

One in three children now have a brain or psychiatric disorder. Psychiatric drug use in children has tripled in the last decade. Research suggests genetically-modified foods greatly interfere with critical brain nutrients such as magnesium. Animal research suggests major gastrointestinal inflammation is triggered, fertility is impaired, and tumors in offspring are concerns.

It's estimated that 70% of more of the foods in our grocery stores are or contain ingredients that are genetically modified. There is much controversy on the health effects of genetically modified foods. Packaged and canned foods currently are required to have ingredient and nutritional labeling. Why shouldn't consumers be informed if the food they buy, eat, and feed their children has been made in the laboratory? Join me in supporting labeling of Genetically Modified Organisms.

As a Social Worker in an outpatient Hematology-Oncology Clinic, I see numerous people without insurance, without prescription coverage, and who cannot afford their medications, some of which are life-saving.

GMO consumption is possibly linked to cancer, for one thing. Who doesn't have a family member who has been affected by cancer? Could GMOs have contributed? We can't even answer because we don't know if they are in our food or not.
