Senate Democrats accepted — an amendment to the Farm Bill that will dey food stamps to those who have managed to pull their lives together after making a mistake-- it will deny food stamps to anyone EVER convicted of a serious felony.

I have had 2 young horses stolen so I believe that they went to slaughter. Don't let this happen to anyone else!

After taking millions in tax payer money from the state to create jobs, ESPN is now planning layoffs. More than 100 employees, and maybe as many as 400, are slated to be let go from their Bristol, CT headquarters. This is unacceptable. ESPN took our money to create jobs, they cannot turnaround and fire employees instead. Tell ESPN not to let any of its workers go!

On My 20, 2013 an EF-5 Tornado that was close to 1-1/2 mile wide and about 17 mile long, cut through the City of Moore and Southern Oklahoma City in OK. Two elementary schools were in the path and were flattened. Ten children (9 years and younger) were confirmed killed by collapsing walls in hallways. The federal government can take the lead in providing States with funding for underground shelters for such schools in the area known as 'Tornado Alley', frequented by tornadic activity (specifically 17 States identified as such).

Negative impacts on GM foods: The use of genetically modified plants and animals has already become commonplace in today’s society without many people being aware of it. The lack of consumer consent in the choice to eat genetically modified foods creates an ethical dilemma. Safe for Consumption? As much as “70 percent” of food prepackaged in a normal grocery store contain genetically modified foods. Are they all safe?StarLink cornmodified corn that was found in stores, which were never intended for human consumption. It was designed specifically for pig feed.Flavr Savr tomatogenetically modified tomato that rot longer.but less resistant to pests and easily caught diseases, which made the crops even more costly to grow and thus higher price for consumers.Pharmaceuticalsas pollen spreads, genes from pharmaceutical plants have made it into the food supply.these drugged foods are more commonly being fed to animals that are raised to be slaughtered and consumed by humans.AllergensBT toxin, designed to kill pests that eat crops, caused allergies and other responses.

MY PETITION IS ABOUT GETTING JUSTICE WHEN AND WHERE IT IS NEEDED AND OR DESERVED! TRAVIS ALEXANDERS FAMILY DESERVES THERE JUSTICE AND MAYBE A PROFESSIONAL JURY WOULD HAVE ALREADY GIVEN OUT THE DEATH PENALTY TO JODI INSTEAD OF THEM NOT BEING ABLE TO COME TO A DECISION! PLEASE HELP......

The North Coast Community needs a fully funded, fully functional 2 year accredited junior college to serve the needs of local citizens to have access to public education at relatively low cost. Graduating high school seniors from Fort Bragg and Mendocino Unified School Districts deserve the option of a proper junior college path to a 4 year education and beyond. Our community is somewhat isolated and needs this fully functional and fully funded junior college.

My Credit Union helps my community by giving back its profits. Don't let the IRS take away their not-for-profit tax status!

Massachusetts currently has a parental consent law in place for those who want their teens to tan. Many teens tan before vacations to avoid sunburn, for acne, psoriases, eczyma, depression, etc. There is a lot of scientific data supporting the health benefits of moderate gradual tanning. The government should not ban something that MIGHT or COULD be harmful.

Yes our hole planet is being effected.

The "multiple use" concept in our National Forests and other public lands has left our natural wildlife and habitats behind again. Too much motorized access for timber, mining, recreation and unrestricted hunting and trapping have kept habitat, especially wetland habitat, from adequate protection and recovery. In particular, active beaver-managed wetlands are known to provide multiple benefits for all species including threatened and endangered species of both plants and animals. The cyclic nature of undisturbed beaver-created openings in the forest are far more productive and effective than "micro-managed" attempts to create habitat artifically with "wildlife openings" that are regularly mowed or burned, "beneficial" forest clear-cuts or artificial dams that are expensive and require maintenance. These natural wetlands also improve all aspects of our regions' hydrology including flood mitigation, drought relief, pollution and sediment reduction and forest fire suppression and yet have far too little protection in our ever-expanding world of roads, trails and other development. Goal: up to at least 10% of our publicly owned natural (relatively un-altered/undeveloped) landscapes which would also increase habitat and ecosystem continuity. This would not mandate the elimination of trails or even roads or other access but would require the above protections to be 1st priority and uncompromised to the greatest (peer-reviewed) extent practicable.

There is a soup kitchen, that is well placed, in Norwich. Which i go to. The neiborhood around it wants it out of their neiborhood.
