Energy is one of the leading causes for economic, political, and environmental crises in the world. By circumventing all need to deplete the earth of essential resources, and providing a means for the entire world to have free, clean, dependable energy, we can change the world into what few have even dreamed of. The technology already exists; all that is necessary is public and financial support, most easily navigated through public office.

I have close friends that are firefighters and they are all parents of young children, they should not have to be facing increased cancer rates because they choose one of the most noble professions in existence.

In 2011, my son was removed from my home due to a tragic accident, involving a faulty product. Everything the court has imposed, has been completed and three years later they, through, unethical practices,biased opinions and lies refuse to return my son home, to the only parent he has, and further continues to rip apart my family. I humbly plead for your support and help in bringing my only son home so that we can heal and be a family again.

Why are we so fixated on 4 million insured people who may lose their current and mostly sub-standard health insurance policies and ignoring the fact that 48 million people who have never had health insurance will finally be able to buy health insurance? The 4 million insured have had the ability to purchase insurance all along. Now, due to circumstances beyond their control, including the greed of insurance companies, they could potentially lose their current policy. But they still have the option to get another plan. The 48 million people that have never had coverage would not be able to get any health insurance coverage if it were not for the Affordable Care Act. End of story! Tell your lawmakers to stop putting politics ahead of the needs of the majority—that is not the way a democracy is supposed to work.

It's the right thing to do for the men and women who have to witness these terrible tragedies, and then to try and return to a normal life, and their jobs. PTSD victims need help. It gives many of these people a lifetime of nightmares, flashbacks, and can lead to suicide if left untreated.

Our communities are the toilet for the turbid water releasing for NYC. We must preserve our rights to clean water too! NYC has plenty of money to use another alternative than the cheapest one which is to use our Esopus Creek for their toilet bowl.

Tysean was my nephew who was a very good kid that consistantly worked hard in school and was right with God. This was a senseless act and we need to work hard on stopping these guns from entering the young peoples hands!!!!

Too many people illegal and US citizens are on general assistance and they obtain free housing, free food, free education, and free phones. I have asked for help in the past and have been denied. They are getting many more perks and driving better cars, etc, then I am and I work for a living. Something is not right with this. Need to crack down on those scamming the system and only help those that truly need it.

Hello, After the huge Typhoon hit the Phillipines, we now know it is due in part to the burning of methane at every frack well, when it is now a fact that the Bakken Shale methane flaring can be seen from outer space. This dangerous process of harvesting natural gas needs stopped NOW.

A group of Texas students in the Canyon Independent School District are being taught that they’ll be as worthless as chewed sticks of gum and used toothbrushes if they have sex before marriage. In a state where the teen pregnancy rates are among the highest in the country, sex education should include facts to keep teens safe, informed, and empowered to make responsible decisions. Instead, these students got a demeaning lecture intended to undermine their self-worth and stigmatize certain behaviors. Livid parents are demanding that Canyon Schools leave morality to the family and focus on the facts. If enough of us speak up, we can help them get this curriculum out of the classroom. Sign the petition to Superintendent Michael Wartes calling on him to remove the “Reality CHECK” abstinence-only program from the district.

Every single day I drive my car, I see people texting while they are driving. This is getting as dangerous as drunk drivers. I want the penalty for texting while driving to be equal to a DWI offense.

Many of the USA's current seniors (75-plus) and the advancing bubble of Baby-Boomers are going to drowned this country in medical debt and a have massive problem 'warehousing' its aged and infirmed. We must debate the issue NOW and pass legislation to protect health and financial viability of the generations behind us. We are at the door step right now and have no time to waste.
