In the wake of the George Zimmerman/Trayvon Martin disaster, we should learn from the tragedy and not move in the wrong direction to bring the potential for unnecessary loss of life to Ohio.

Based upon the unnecessary deaths that has happened within our state; I would like to eliminate and or amend the Stand Your ground / Castle law.....

The DTCC allows and enables securities (the actual, paper documents) to become digitized to facilitate ease of trading; the process is called dematerialization. I personally destroyed thousands of mortgage documents through the same process using a desk-top scanner. The banks have destroyed their ownership interest (security) in all the mortgages pre-dating the melt-down and beyond; the pink slip no longer exists. The banks are involved in a systemic criminal theft-by-deception; they don't own the loans they are attempting to mine through foreclosure, refinance, modification, short-sale, deed-in-lieu and reverse mortgage; in each of these processes they are tricking borrowers into returning the signatures they destroyed, in some instances, decades ago.

Healthcare coverage is one of the most important pieces of legislation accomplished by Democrats. Why would Representative Kyrsten Sinema vote with Republicans to delay Obamacare? I voted for Rep. Sinema with the trust that she would fight for Obamacare at every stage of its implementation.

Equal justice under the law! Marissa Alexander killed no one and got 20 years. A battered wife and mother, she fired a warning shot to scare off her abusive husband, and gets 20 years in prison. Meanwhile, George Zimmerman murders Trayvon Martin and was set free! This is NOT equal justice! Stand your ground didn't work for Marissa or Trayvon. Why? They are black!

You, First National Bank, are guilty of theft. You mistakenly entered the wrong house, removed all the belongings, changed the locks, and closed the house back up. Leaving a horrible surprise for Ms. Barnett upon her return from vacation.

Tennessee has stepparent and grandparent visitation laws, but none for other significant family members of minor children. When a marriage fails or a family member dies, it’s the children who suffer most and largely in silence. Let’s tell the Tennessee legislature it’s time to protect children’s emotional ties to ALL family members. Tennessee tiene leyes de visita para padrastros y abuelos, pero ninguna ley para los otros familiares significativos de los niños menores. Cuando un matrimonio fracasa o muere un familiar, son los niños que mayormente sufren en silencio. Digámosle a la legislatura de Tennessee, que ya es tiempo de proteger los lazos familiares emocionales de los niños tienen con todos los miembros de su familia

On March 21, 2010, your congressional body, the US House of Representatives, passed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, and two days later, President Obama signed it into law. It is a fact that the ACA is the law of the land. However, the House of Representatives has attempted to repeal the law almost 40 times since its passage, but has yet to create legislation to put Americans back to work.

There is no where to go when one has to use the bathroom. We are mostly a residential community consisting of many elderly people, some handicap, some pregnant and many children.

Just as food labels list fat, sodium and sugar, labels should tell the buyer whether or not the product includes genetically engineered ingredients. Anything less is misleading and leaves consumers in the dark about the food they're eating. GE foods are unlabeled, untested and potentially unsafe, yet most people don't even know they are eating them. Sign the petition to tell Florida's lawmakers to support the labeling of genetically engineered foods.

Right-wing legislators in North Carolina have outdone themselves again. They’ve passed bills to restrict women’s health care rights, cut benefits drastically for unemployed workers and reject expanding health care for low-income families. Now, they’re taking advantage of the Supreme Court’s ruling that gutted the Voting Rights Act and are trying to ram through the most restrictive voter suppression bill in the United States—HB 589. This bill would devastate voter rights for North Carolinians. It would shorten early voting periods, impose restrictive voter ID requirements, eliminate same-day voter registration, purge voter rolls more often and prevent counties from extending poll hours in the case of long lines. But it doesn’t stop there. It also would raise political contribution limits, reduce the amount of information donors from out of state are required to provide and make it easier for voter suppression groups, like True the Vote, to intimidate and challenge voters at the polls. This bill would be a disaster for North Carolina. Tell your lawmakers to oppose it.
