Political television ads skew the playing field for our democracy. They unfairly favor the wealthy and corporations who can afford skyrocketing costs of running for office, due to tv ads. Also, there is nothing ensuring truth in advertising, which harms the voter and the integrity of our elections.

No more money for unsustainable use of resources and young people to support war. Change the focus to mediation, solutions, and education. We can do it!

I'm pretty sure there are some civil rights attorneys along with the ACLU that will address this issue With Whole Foods. In the meantime no Corporation is perfect consider Ralph's and all those supermarket chains like Albertson's Von's market even Trader Joe's & Sprouts. While the above-mentioned sells organic products they continue to sell products that are processed for shelf life the same preservatives they put in wood finish are the same types of preservatives that Are in the foods All the MSGs And other deadly additives in the meats breads, the high fructose corn syrup Which is in almost everything they make from Tomato ketchup to bread products to cereal, Soft drinks, And on and on! What kind of company would sell artificial lemonade and then turn around and put real lemons furniture polish? Processed foods that these markets sale ARE the major contributors to childhood /teenage and adult type two and type one diabetes dementia Alzheimer's you name it! At least Whole foods specializes in selling healthy products such as organic whole foods so they have other faults. But what kind of CEO or major Investor Would oversee the immoral unethical practice, these major food markets practice? And who Does this adversely affect? Minorities especially African Americans which leads the nation everything from low test scores to heart disease to type two diabetes, Obesity, to you name it. I tell you, The ACLU, & Civl rights leaders and the NAACP needs to stand up or who ever is anointed stand up, fight to/ and do something about This Public travesty. Let's not just single whole foods out for their shortcomings Get ALSO with the CEOs that ushered us into these public epidemics Through selling the public processed goods FOUR DECADES! I do acknowledge and say Hooray! for farmers markets and other small businesses that specialize in organic products.

Jamaican citizens property tax has increase by 150%; this occurred due to loan furnished to the Jamaican Government by IMF for (u.s) $932.3 million, world bank $510 million and the Inter-American Development Bank $510 million. This decision has further created intense hardship,and the development for property confiscation. What happen in this country could happen any where, that is why we should partake and deter this decision.

NYS has NO oversight over title agents or title agencies despite the FACT that these entities are the cause of mortgage fraud and title fraud resulting in the mortgage crisis in NYS and other states. The NYS Insurance Dept., now known as DFS (Dept. of Financial Services) refuses to take jurisdiction over these fraudulent acts by claiming that NYS does not require LICENSES for these title agents/agencies who ultimately falsify property assessment values in order to MILK out mortgages on homes over 2-3 times the property value. They are also responsible for filing false deeds via fraud and deceit. ?Deeds can be filed out of chain of title by non-owners and illegally sold. NO entity protects the true homeowner, usually vulnerable human beings who are disabled, elderly, women, Afro-American, etc. There MUST be oversight and active immediate protection since the courts do not advocate for the victims.

I am concerned the United States is moving towards George Orwell's "1984." We are at risk of becoming as dangerous as the terrorists we are fighting. I believe we as a country need to investigate the surveillance activities conducted by the National Security Agency since September 11, 2001; the legal justifications for these activities; and decide what kind of country we want the United States to be.

The soon to be released GGNRA/NPS 2013 Pet Management Policy will affect all stakeholders who utilize portions of the 80,000 plus acres of parkspace in Marin, San Francisco and San Mateo Counties to recreate with their companion animals. This policy was formerly encapsulated in the GGNRA's 1979 Pet Policy, but is now under assault from the GGNRA and certain like-minded extreme environmentalist individuals and groups.

Since June 3, farmers and residents in Poland are in a stand-off with Chevron. Under the protection of security, and in a very tense atmosphere, Chevron took possession of land to install a fence and drill a well. According to the locals, this land has only been permitted for seismic testing. The authorization for drill testing was canceled in June 2012 and therefore Chevron has no right to drill. The Polish farmers are opposed to unconventional shale gas drilling because it could lead to the contamination of their water and land; during previous seismic tests on-site explosives were used and had already caused water pollution, it became unfit for consumption. Chevron refuses to listen to the famers and local authorities are refusing to resolve the ongoing conflict. We denounce Chevron Poland’s practices and urge them to STAND DOWN! Sign the petition and stand in solidarity with farmers in Poland!

President Obama's Fish and Wildlife Service has proposed stripping gray wolves of federal protection, thus opening the door to mass poisoning, trapping and shooting from helicopters. Gray wolf populations have not sufficiently recovered to enable them to survive the resumption of extermination efforts. They are a necessary species in the ecosystem, and we must afford them protection until they are recovered. Sound science supports keeping them listed, and not letting cattle ranchers and trophy hunters win the day.

Time and again I have seen people buy cartloads of junk food with food stamps, yet we have an obesity crisis in this country. Why should the taxpayers contribute to this, when we could contribute to good nutrition instead, and maybe reduce health care costs as well?

During the regular legislative session, lawmakers did not reauthorize Medicaid funding. So, on July 1, Mississippi Medicaid will no longer be funded. This will not only affect individuals covered by Medicaid but all who are employed in jobs that are funded in full or in part by Medicaid dollars. The defunding of Medicaid will result in thousands of layoffs and firings in the health care field.
