Tea Party Congressman Steve Pearce votes against the needs of his constituents time and time again. He's one of the richest millionaires in Congress and a member of the minority Tea Party caucus that is holding the government closed. Now he told furloughed federal workers struggling to pay their bills that they should take out personal loans and go into debt while he continues to play politics with their paychecks.

Stop signs are about to be installed within the next two weeks. Once the signs are up, it is going to be very difficult to get them removed. The Stop signs will significantly impede traffic flow It appears the main reason for the Stop sign is for golfers to easily cross from one side of the gold course to the other

This is how we fix Congress to be the "Peoples" representatives as in "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more Perfect Union, establish Justice, insure Domestic Tranquility, provide for the Common Defense, promote the General Welfare, and Secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

WE THE PEOPLE are being held hostage against our will by members of Congress by the means of this Government Shutdown. Those responsible need to be brought to trial in front of the Supreme Court to face charges of Negligence, Fraud, Corruption, taking the government hostage, Treason, and a host of other charges. It is the National Guards' duty to protect the people from threats such as this.

I'm really tired of having Kirstie Alley's Body Thetans dripping all over the place, it's a health hazard, you know.

To have the 99% of the country's population let the House know they are not representing the people who elected them. And Republicans, we know you are the worst at this, and the most at fault here. I am so not voting for one Republican in 2014 and 2016.

Secretary Hagel: People who live on Georgia’s coast have protected the North American Right Whale for many years. NOAA has designated our waters as critical habitat for this rarest of whales, for it is here that they birth their calves. A dozen environmental agencies tried to stop the Navy from building a submarine warfare training range here that will produce a barrage of sound and traffic that should not be allowed in the Right Whale’s nursery, where it targets the most vulnerable animals. They failed. Only you can stop the Navy’s use of deadly sonar and underwater explosives in training programs over the next 5 years. Nobody else has the power to make these changes. You do. Please use your power to force the Navy to use satellite technology, extremely accurate but harmless to marine mammals. Make them use the “Listening Buoy” system of whale detection instead of positioning a sailor on top of a ship, looking for whales. By the time a whale is spotted by visual detection, it’s too late to prevent vessel strike, much less the excruciating sound of sonar, which travels 900 miles underwater and causes cetaceans to bleed from their brains and often, to beach themselves. Over the next five years, in the Atlantic, the Pacific, and the Gulf of Mexico, our Navy will kill thousands of whales and dolphins and destroy the hearing of five million others. Secretary Hagel, a deaf whale cannot navigate, care for its young, evade predators, or find food . A deaf whale is a dead whale. In the case of the North American Right Whale, there are only 350 whales left. The naval warfare range, built to last 20 years, will cause their extinction. It won’t take long. Mitigating the carnage will not compromise our national security. There are many alternatives--- underwater drones, satellites, smart buoys, and simulation techniques-- that can be used in training our naval personnel to maintain their place as the best in the world. In fact, to be the best, our Navy must use the new techniques, because 20-year-old sonar technology cannot detect the new enemy subs coated with sonar-repelling paint. Modern technology can reduce the toll without compromising national security. The staggering numbers of dead and dying marine mammals predicted by our Navy cannot be allowed to stand. These inhumane actions, used not in war, but in routine training for war, must stop. We are better than that. Whales have been on this earth for 50 million years. They are not our enemy. There is no compelling need for them to suffer impairment to their most vital functions. There is not need for them to die slow, painful deaths. There is no need for whole species to go extinct. You, and only you have the power to compel the Navy to change its course. President Obama appointed you in part because you, as a combat soldier, understand what our troops must face in defending America. In this, you are unique. Please use your understanding to direct our Navy to chart a humane course when dealing with other creatures that have as much right to live as we do.

I am embarrassed by the behavior of our "representatives" and could not attend a scientific conference in Washington - the conference was cancelled due to the shut down.

Domestic Violence Agencies Not Assisting and Following Proper Protocal for myself and my children. I have had to go to every agency advocate office & recieved no assistance. We now have no clothing, bed linens, wash clothes cleaning supplies etc. Due to the nature of the Apartment. I have all things photographed and all conversations recorded as me & my mentally ill daughter and son were denied rights.

Next week, the Public Utilities Commission Nevada (PUCN) is hearing from the public on the merger of Mid American and NV Energy. We need to make sure the PUCN knows that Nevadans support cleaning Nevada's air by decommissioning our remaining coal fired power plants and making investments now to build Nevada's clean energy economy.

The SCDOT Highway Safety Office has identified the intersection of West Carolina Ave., West Home Ave., and 14th Street, as one of the most dangerous in the state, having an especially high rate of dangerous right-angle (T-bone) wrecks. They've proposed constructing a roundabout there, which would be funded primarily through federal money already set aside for traffic safety. Roundabouts are proven to reduce fatal crashes by 89 percent. It’s the only solution with available funding. Some believe a traffic light would help, but that wouldn't prevent right-angle accidents. Others are concerned about construction or property rights. Those concerns pale in comparison to the ultimate issue: safety. The roundabout will allow for more efficient traffic flow and create an impressive entrance to our beautiful town while also reducing deadly accidents there. Please put safety first and support the construction of Hartsville’s roundabout.

Because we need to move to the middle and represent all citizens of the United States and stop this ridiculous posturing in Congress.
