The CT Department of Children and Families needs to take a stand to preserve families as they are and support parents in their choices to obtain special education support services and alternative therapies that their children need to address emotional, social behavioral challenges. Parents should not have to waive their rights to decide on providers or treatments for their children or for themselves in order to have the school and department of children and families put public dollars to work with services in place. Parents have a right to choice of providers and programming in or out of state. The practice of committing children to state custody on neglect petitions in these situations in order to avoid the cost of providing relevant and timely services for children in the care of their parents must stop.

Larry Summers is being considered for Federal Reserve Chair, the single most important economic position in the country, which requires a quick review: When Larry Summers was Treasury Secretary, he was the foremost advocate of effectively repealing Glass-Steagall and passing the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which led directly to the financial crash of 2008, nearly toppled the global economy and wreaked havoc at home. He then went on to a career of mismanaging Harvard so badly while behaving in such an openly sexist manner that he was forced out, before rejoining the White House Economic Council just in time to support a bailout for banks but not for homeowners. Our question for Larry as he considers taking the gig: Isn't killing the US economy once more than enough?

Fox 11 News has implemented an unfair contract on it's union workers and has cut their wages and benefits!

An Ohio woman returned from vacation to find that all of her belongings had been stolen, taken right out of her house. She knows who did it, but the local police aren't helping her. That's because Katie Barnett's stuff was not stolen by a burglar who slipped in under cover of darkness, but by a bank. First National Bank of Wellston foreclosed on her neighbor across the street—but got the wrong house, changed the locks and removed everything from Barnett's home. Meanwhile, the McArthur police chief has declared the case closed—even though Barnett doesn't have her stuff back and hasn't been paid. Katie estimates that she lost over $18,000 in personal property, itemized everything and has asked the bank to reimburse her. First National Bank has refused. Sign our petition to Eric Emmert, president and CEO of First National Bank of Wellston, demanding they reimburse a minimum of $18,000 to Katie Barnett.

We have seen countless national and local jobs bills blocked by the Republican Congress nationally and by PA Republicans statewide. This is totally detrimental to our state and nation Improvements in roads, bridges and infrastructure projects could produce countless jobs while increasing the tax base and general economy of PA and other states!

Financial cuts to Head Start, education, the Arts, and infrastructure is hurting the economy, not to mention those most vunerable.

The two Big parties have a monopoly on political power. They should be brought to court on Anti Monopoly and Anti Trust laws and be broken up like how the big monopolies were broken up a century ago!

In Mississippi our governor is trying to take away the Medicaid. Over 90% of our elders are on either Medicaid or Medicare, along with over 95% of babies. If they are allowed to take this from the people then who will provide medical care? We as people struggle to pay bills,taxes,buy food,and etc. Going to the hospital and buying medicine these days are extremely pricey and the people just don't have the money to cover this! I feel that this is a part of the "Just Let Them Die" Plan. Please sign the petition so our babies and elderly can continue to receive the health care they need... Thank You in advance, Dorothy Jackson
