they're standing on a guy. he's not breathing

I was wrong, I trusted you to do what was right. With Obamacare I will finally be able to afford health insurance after 15 years without. I am the primary support for three adults with disabilities. They depend on me to be healthy for them. I'm not.

Around the world, bees are dying at alarming rates and new science is pointing to the world’s most popular class of pesticides called neonicotinoids (also called neonics), made by giant chemical companies Bayer and Syngenta, as the key factor in the global bee die-off crisis. These key pollinators need our help. Without immediate action to save bees, which pollinate two-thirds of our food crops, everything from almonds to strawberries could disappear from supermarket shelves. Europe has banned bee-killing pesticides but the EPA has delayed action until 2018. Fortunately, Representatives John Conyers (D, Mich.) and Earl Blumenauer (D, Ore.) just introduced a bill to give our bees a fighting chance. The “Save America’s Pollinators Act” will suspend the use of toxic, bee-killing pesticides until a full review of scientific evidence indicates they are safe and a field study demonstrates they do no harm to bees and other pollinators. The bees can’t wait, and neither can we. Please tell your congressional representative to co-sponsor the “Save America’s Pollinators Act” right now!

The Affordable Care Act has already saved me money by forcing my Medicare Part D Plan to cover a portion of my prescription expense while I'm stuck in the donut hole. On July 17th Rep. Collin Peterson voted to delay the Individual Mandate of the Affordable Care Act, a/k/a Obamacare. Why?

Our representative to Congress is siding with those who want to dismantle the Affordable Care Act. We deserve an explanation from her on why she voted this way.

This is a very confusing law, and it should not be carried out by the population, but by police officers only. What does "Stand Your Ground" mean anyway? The law should be abolished in every state in which it exists.

A newspaper -- an honest one -- was a marvelous place to learn about the world and to convey what is learned to the community it serves. But this is only true, of course, if the newspaper is of and for the community and if it values its daily report more than any pre-determined point of view. So it is alarming to me that the Koch brothers, the billionaire duo so actively engaged in supporting a particular political ideology, are interested in buying the Baltimore Sun and a dozen other newspapers including the Los Angeles Times, the Chicago Tribune and the Hartford Courant. A sale to the Koch brothers would indeed be a journey from bad to worse. The only way to restore print journalism for the civic good is to have it practiced and owned by those who live in and are dedicated to the community itself. Join me in signing a petition asking the Tribune Company not to sell to the Koch brothers, and to instead support the local ownership of American news organizations.
