In Los Angeles 2013, senior citizens are often found like deer in headlights --stuck in the middle of the road when the light changes too quickly for them to get across safely. Please Incumbent Mayor Garcetti, install senior buttons at our city crosswalks or we will all hang our heads in shame when grandma gets struck by a truck in a rush.

I decided as a hard working american that I have had enough of this congress. Congress is there to represent the people of this once great nation not lobbest and large coperations.

California has more than enough problems to deal with. We have Oil wells all over our landscape. Please don't add anymore environment devastating actions/enterprises in California.

Wall street was "bailed" out years ago when they accepted money and benefits from the federal government, essentially re-booting the stock market, providing them with a second chance and a leg up. Recently, I have discussed a Bill known as the "Excess" product Bill to local congress people, in hopes that it will pass and go national. In a nutshell, the Bill would provide proprietary (for profit) organizations a tax break to work with non-profits oranizations that help people in many areas of need. For example, a local university has a business class that begins on a certain date, however, the class remains to be completely filled. The Excess Product bill would allow people in need to take that course at little or no cost so that it is filled, giving the university a tax break to do so. Another example, a local wal-mart or grocery store is getting ready to re-stock its shelves and throw out food near expiration. Instead of wasting the food by throwing it out, the store would connect with a near by non-profit or food bank to provide the food to people in need. Another example, a retail clothing store is coming up on a new season of fashion trends. Instead of throwing the older clothes out, the "out of season" clothing items would be donated to a local goodwill or other non profit to provide needy people with clothing. This Act also applies to real estate companies, utility companies, trade schools and health care entities. The time is NOW that the people work together, stand up and fight for what we deserve and what we need to get America back to a higher standard of living so that progression becomes less of a struggle and people are given a chance to Thrive once again. We NEED the people stand up and provide signatures in support of this BILL so that it can become law, so that we can get our lives back! The Bill is in its Draft stages, and now require the people to support it. I can provide a copy of this to anyone who asks in the matter of truth and transparency.

I have been a loyal Target customer for years, but they are one of 14 U.S. companies that refused to sign an agreement to improve working conditions for garment workers. Two factories have collapsed in the last month, killing over 2000 workers. Ten European companies signed the agreement to contibute money to improve conditions; Target should collaborate with these European companies to provide a safer environment for these workers.

Monsanto is a large corparation that manufactures genetically engineered farming products. They have a monopoly on the american farming market and are trying to effect not only what we eat but are applying acts that are infringing on our rights. We need to show large corporations and our government that we run the country, not the other way around.

The natural gas and oil drilling process known as fracking has been shown to adversely affect residents' health, environment and quality of life in states like Colorado and Pennsylvania. Fracking is already underway in California, and within L.A. County. Urge our state government to ban the process.

Fracking is a dangerous method of extracting natural gas from geological formations that has the potential to pollute ground water with harsh chemicals and leaking natural gas. Since ground water is a precious resource in the drought-prone state of California, it would be unwise to trade our ability to drink clean water for a short-term supply of natural gas for energy. For an account of the damage that is possible, see the movie "Gasland."

An independent press cannot exist in fear of the government. Liberty cannot exist without an independent press.
