All across the nation we are watching the GOP displaying outright bigotry and racism. Now we are seeing it in Colorado and it is an embarrassment! The Colorado GOP now must prove they are all not the bigot and racist as their Lori Saine is! Remove her or admit all GOP members are bigots. Please watch http://kdvr.com/2013/09/04/gop-lawmaker-brings-fried-chicken-to-poverty-hearing-in-silent-protest/ It is simply too late for any apology!

Just look for yourself at the variances in requirements in the 50 state laws regarding ownership and use and transport of firearms. Click on this link to see for yourself and judge this hodge-podge: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_laws_in_the_United_States_by_state We need a uniform system - to be developed by Congress and good in all parts of America and its possessions and territories. This whole system is out of date and out of touch with reality. There is undocumented but widespread profiteering from gun-running from the south which has extremely loose and lax laws, transporting stockpiles of weapons to northern cities for resale at blackmarket prices to those who should not have a gun. This pandering feeds on the fears and fantasies and cravings for security and power by those who know no opportunity than the rule of the jungle - to take by force. THE USELESS CARNAGE OF INNERCITY INNOCENT YOUTHS BY IRRESPONSIBLE GHETTO GANGBANGERS MUST END - BY OUR TURNING OFF THE SPIGOT OF SUPPLY OF WEAPONS TO IDIOTS.

I have been with my partner for 20 years and feel like a second class citizen in my own state and country. There are many gay couples in the state of Missouri that wish to have their voices heard and their love for one another accepted but are always pushed away. We are human beings and wish to be treated as such. We want our love to be just as important as you believe yours is. As American and Missouri citizens, we should have the same rights as any other American or Missourian. We deserve Marriage equality.

Halloween is not only an incredibly fun and candy-filled day for the majority of children (and adults) in our country, but it is an important tradition with a history that shouldn't be forgotten. An entire season revolves around Halloween with jack-o-lanterns, ghosts, and goblins filling our neighborhoods and stores with spooky delight. Not recognizing this day as a holiday (and giving the people the time to stop and celebrate accordingly) is a travesty-causing it to become a lost tradition. Let's not let Halloween be forgotten-rather, let's give it the attention and significance it deserves!

There is a real possibility that the United States will soon engage in military action that will result in the deaths of innocent Syrian civilians, on the pretext that Syrians are killing innocent Syrian civilians. There should be an adjudication of complicity by an international tribunal before one nation sanctions another through the use of deadly military action.

My daughter is an incoming freshman to UCSB and has been recruited by Cathy Neushul and Connor Levoff to play women's water polo. These are well-established and well-respected coaches from the Santa Barbara area. They have been coaching high school and younger for years and hold many national girls' water polo titles. They were abruptly, and I believe unfairly, kicked out of their coaching positions with only two weeks before the start of the school year. Please support them in signing this petition to get them reinstated as head coaches for UCSB Women's Water Polo. Please encourage everyone that knows and loves water polo to forward this petition and let our voices be heard.

BPA is in our plastic bottles and the lining of most canned foods and drinks. Years of research prove BPA to be a major carcinogen causing brain and other tumors, premature cell death, and it mimics various hormones in dangerous ways. CANCER IS AN EPIDEMIC IN THIS COUNTRY AND ITS CAUSES MUST BE STOPPED. The EPA today took BPA off its list of "chemicals of concern," along with several others including PDBE's. We want STUDY OF THESE CHEMICALS CONTINUED AND THEIR USES IN OUR FOOD CHAIN BANNED!

In March 2013 President Obama asked, the Israeli and Palestinian Youths to began a dialogue and now he will not set them an example of how to talk and not fight to proven that this Republic is still a: school yard Bully in the People House..

Depression, anxiety, agoraphobia, etc. can be just debilitating as any other disability just in different ways. I can personally testify to this and believe that some people may be able to lead a more normal and/or more fulfilled life if they could have the comfort and emotional support that a dog can provide with them when and where ever they are needed.

The City College of San Francisco Music and Theater Departments have launched this petition to protect $88 million currently dedicated to complete construction of City College's Performing Arts Education Center (PAEC). The petition asks the California State Legislature for a one-year extension on $38 million in state bond funding and calls on the CCSF special trustee and interim chancellor to respect the will of the voters of San Francisco, who approved two bonds for CCSF totaling $50 million. Almost $20 million has been spent on the Performing Arts Center (PAC) to date, The project, which has won both state and national awards for design and sustainability, is now shovel-ready. The petition to support completion of the PAC has already been signed by writers, actors and musicians including Laurie Anderson, Danny Glover, Lawrence Ferlinghetti and many others. Join us in this effort by signing this effort and asking lawmakers not to give up the PAC!!
