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.

LABELING ALL THE FOOD I BUY , ALL SHOULD SAY PRODUCED OR GROWN IN, _____.AND NOT JUST DISTRIBUTED BY . WHICH TELLS ME NOTHING . THE PRODUCT IS SUBJECT TO THE USE OF ANTIBIOTICS OR HORMONES , AND IS OR ISN'T GENETICALLY MODIFIED. I BELIEVE WE ARE ALL ENTITLED TO THAT INFORMATION FOR THE GOOD OF OUR FAMILIES . .

Chickens packed tightly in battery cages which are stacked on top of each other to make it so the farmers get the most eggs for the most amount of money, never mind how horrible it is for the chicken itself. The chickens can barely turn around, have to fight for food and water, and defecate all over one another. Most organic free range chickens never step foot outside. They are kept in a long coop with is packed with thousands of birds and an open window, they have to fight for just some sunlight and fresh air. This is cruel and inhumane.

Oregon Republicans are playing games with the state budget - and it's time to stop. They’re blocking the health provider tax, which brings in crucial federal matching dollars for health care for Oregon’s most vulnerable citizens. They’re playing games to try and get their way on other issues. Let's tell the Senate Republicans to put vulnerable Oregonians first. In May, the Oregon House overwhelmingly passed the health provider tax on a bipartisan vote. This tax gets matched two-for-one by federal dollars and is crucial for balancing the state budget. Let the Republicans know that it’s unacceptable to take the sick and vulnerable hostage to their agenda.

Both branches of the legisture are totally indebted to interest groups. By limiting the Senator to two terms of six years each and the House to 6 terms of 2 years each, it will limit the 'good old boy" system and help restore us to Citizen office holders and not career office holders.

I'm a nurse, and it would be ideal for the nausea that patients suffer from and also help with patients who have no appetite and need caloric intake. And it's far more safer than alcohol.

If someone vets this before I do, just mark it no for pileon and leave the right-wing box blank. You can pick your issues and geography
