I'm an unemployed Healthcare worker who is trying to find a job in NYC. However, I feel I am being discriminated against simply due to my credit report. I am seeking a non-financial based position and I want my credit report to be kept private. I don't want my credit report being plastered in public. Nor do I want it to be used against me when I am trying to find a good job.

The US has no business joining with al Quada and other jihadist groups to take down the secular govt of Syria. This is a civil war backed by Islamic fundamentalists and fascist Arabic nations. The peacful protesters departed long ago. Tell Obama not to mimic Bush and get us involved in another war in the Middle East, which if "successful," would result in another fundamentalist theocracy, led by groups which are both anti-American and at sectarian war with other Syrian groups.

Glyphosate has recently been implicated in the drastic rise of autism in children. There is peer reviewed science and guilty verdicts in other countries proving the link between glyphosate and major health problems. Glyphosate is also responsible for community collapse disorder that were seeing with honey bees wich pollinate one third of our food.

Doctors without Borders is greatly concerned that they and other groups working in developing countries will lose access to inexpensive generic medicines that currently save many lives. Here is a link to their site spelling out what is being proposed and its devastating consequences: http://www.doctorswithoutborders.org/publications/alert/article.cfm?id=6789&cat=alert-article&ref=news-index

Make Jefferson's speech about seperation of church and state an actual constitutional amendment!

n26 which only has three trips in AM from Jamaica Bus Terminal to Great Neck Station, and while PM trip with last bus ending at 5pm heading from Great Neck Station to Jamaica. This is problem for many businesses in Great Neck, where people want last 5pm n26 to Jamaica to leave at 5:15pm or add one more trip like 5:15 or 5:20pm as last bus.

There's a bill making its way through the legislature right now that would give thousands of bright, hardworking students around the state a shot at the American Dream. (A-4225) would allow students who have attended high school in New Jersey for at least three years and have either gotten their diploma or GED to pay the same rates as their fellow residents at New Jersey’s public colleges and universities. Passing this bill isn't just the fair thing to do; it's the smart thing to do for the state and its economy. One of the main draws of businesses to New Jersey is our highly trained workforce. Holding back talented, high-achieving students who could join the next generation of engineers, teachers, and nurses is as short-sighted as it is unfair.

Senator Burr is effectively standing in the way of students who will see their student loan interest rates double on July 1st if Congress doesn't act to keep them low. In a floor debate with Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Senator Richard Burr (R-NC) objected to voting on a proposal that would keep interest rates low for the next two years. Instead, he's in favor of a "fix" that could see student loan interest rates skyrocket and create more debt for Americans -- much more than if student loan interest rates were allowed to double.

At a time when nearly three-quarters of all U.S. intelligence gathering and analysis are being conducted by private corporations, we as a country have approached perilously close to what Franklin D. Roosevelt described as "the essence of fascism." In light of recent disturbing public disclosures concerning the extent of intelligence gathering activities undertaken by U.S. governmental agencies hand-in-hand with corporate partners, both at home and abroad, it is clear that the time has come for us, as citizens and elected representatives, to take a cold, hard look at the behavior and practices that have developed from that partnership.

Men's Central Jail in Los Angeles has been violating the basic international human rights of its inmates for years. Abhorrent insanitary and abusive conditions continue to treat inmates like animals instead of people. Those responsible for continuing the cycle of injustice and violating a person's constitutional rights, must be held accountable for their actions. Help be a voice for those who's voice has been taken from them.

I helped to train the Iraqi Army during my second tour, and their concern is that many of the anti-Assad forces are the same terrorists they've fought before and who continue to target them. Senator John McCain's relentless pursuit of more war crystalizes the case against our involvement better than anything else has so far. During his recent trip to Syria he took a picture rebels who were members of a known terrorist group. His staff says he didn't know who they were, and no one doubts that. But that's the point: if a U.S. Senator can unwittingly pose for pictures with terrorists in Syria, how can we guarantee the arms he supports sending won't end up in the same place he did -- with terrorists? There are countless reasons to stay out of Syria, not the least of which is our poor tracking record attempting to shape the outcome of Middle Eastern politics. The President has taken important steps to ending two misguided wars started during the Bush Administration. He shouldn't move us towards getting involved in a third conflict the majority of Americans oppose.

Unemployment is at 7.6% and many of those people are on Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC); let the Congress live on unemployment and see if they can live with a 22.2% cut in benefits. Why should people who are unemployed be punished because the Congress can’t get what they want from the President?
