Religious institutions should be held accountable to the citizens who subsidize them. There is absolutely no good reason why churches, especially large and highly profitable ones, should not be paying taxes.

The documentary about the Koch brothers is the type of programming that PBS should revel in and definitely show.

The very purpose of public television is to have a media outlet on the airwaves that is not biased by special interests and corporation. Viewers need the information in Citizen Koch to understand their democracy and make better decisions in the voting booth and with their wallets.

10,000 signatures needed! Please join VVSA Humane Society in Bridgewater, VT in protesting the actions of Brazilian Mayor Marcelo Pamplona who used spay/neuter funds as bounty for the slaughter of dogs in his city: $2.50 per male dog, $5.00 for females. In this impoverished area, it is enough to have caused the needless suffering and brutal deaths of hundreds of animals at this time. There are still dogs on a nearby island, that are slowly being starved to death. For pictures of the dogs and rescuers, go to: http://vvsahs.org/article_details.php?IID=50 (More articles and info at: http://vvsahs.org.)

Unless world leaders and top scientists focus their full attention on solving the ongoing problems at the Fukushima Nuclear Plant then life as we know it will not continue. Fukushima continues to spill radioactive waste into the Pacific Ocean and if this spill is not contained swiftly then the Pacific Ocean and everything it touches will be contaminated with radiation, which will result in the deaths of millions of people. Those of us living in the Western U.S., like myself, my family, and my friends, will lose our lives and our loved ones early as radiation sickness spreads.

I'm a beekeeper so I am deeply concerned about neonicotinoid pesticides and systemic genetically modified organism acting as honey bee killers are not being properly regulated. I hope state leaders in Pennsylvania's State House are smart enough to eliminate our local PA supermarkets as the end-user delivery systems for pesticides in our food by passing GMO labeling laws in PA. We are being forced to consume toxins without giving our consent. Remember what happened with regard to the hazards of smoking and being exposed to second-hand smoke without consent? Pesticide traces in the urine of children eating conventionally grown produce? Unacceptable. Pesticide traces found in fetal umbilical fluid? Unacceptable. We need GMO labeling laws now. This is the first step in recognizing that the problem of pesticides is a major health threat to human beings, too. I am reaching out to Senator Shirley Kitchen and Senator Peliggi to support Senate Bill 653 in the upcoming legislative session. Please take action. GMO labeling laws in Pennsylvania now.

We citizen taxpayers of Country Club Hills, IL are dissatisfied with the handling of the $40,000+ bank deposit which as stolen from City Hall on or about April 30, 2013. We demand full disclosure about the reporting of the theft, the investigation and timeline, and not to be referred to the Human Resources Department. We demand to know what steps have been taken to offer identity theft protection to those whose checks were stolen. We demand to know why deposits are allowed to become so large and what steps have been taken to ensure that this irresponsible practice has not continued. We demand to know that whomever was responsible for securing the deposit has been disciplined in accordanced with the City's progressive disciplinary action policy. We citizens and taxpayers deserve to know what happened and what is being done with our money.

For at least six years, all sectors of the Hayward Community have been asking for solutions to improve the downtown area. There is a perception that litter, public nuisances, and other issues are related to outdoor meal programs, although evidence does not generally support this connection. Now, the City is proposing a new permitting process which would allow outdoor meal programs to continue, albeit subject to highly restrictive conditions. Encroachment permitting and other statues already exist in Hayward. Instead, it is time for a centralized center which promotes efficient, productive solutions and moves meals and services out of public spaces.

But that's not how our current immigration system works. Under our current immigration laws, immigrants currently living in the US without papers have no way to fix their immigration status and pursue the rights obtained through citizenship. These immigrants -- many of whom are American in every way but on paper -- are doomed to a life in shadows. They are prevented from doing things many US citizens take for granted, like driving, working, applying for credit cards, and even from visiting sick family members overseas. The Senate just passed an immigration bill that will would fix this tragedy by creating a pathway to citizenship for these 11 million Americans without papers. Through this pathway, students, workers, family members, and even some immigrants with deportation orders under the previous broken system would finally be allowed to pursue their American dream and eventual citizenship. Advocates have been fighting for these reforms for years, and we have never seen a better chance for making these dreams a reality. But some anti-immigrant members of Congress -- lead by legislators like Rep. Steve King -- are trying to kill reform by destroying the path to citizenship and promoting inhumane policies that would keep these 11 million people in the shadows so they "self-deport." Our movement has reached a tipping point and we need your help to finish the job. We need you to tell Rep. Trent Franks to support immigration reform with the pathway to citizenship, now more than ever. It's time for Congress to pass this bill. Please tell your representative to vote YES on immigration reform with a pathway to citizenship for the 11 million Americans without papers.

Please tell your representative to vote YES on immigration reform with a pathway to citizenship for the 11 million Americans without papers.

We have the right to see this documentary. We, the taxpayer help to pay your bills and we own the air ways.

I would like our local PBS station to air Citizen Koch so that people can see the agendas those with wealth have on our programs that many view.
