Elimination by removal of all racist Monuments in Public spaces supported by goverment funding

Syracuse Common Council has decided to hold Sound Garden to the ordinance that is generally used for pawn shops. By doing this Syracuse will lose an iconic store, that brings people in from all over the county to spend much needed money in our city.

It's time to stop discriminating against those who have made mistakes 5 years in their past. People change, and once your debt is paid to society, one shouldn't have to continue paying that debt for the rest of their life! With out good equal paying jobs, and equal opportunity to get those jobs, then we're just pushing them back into a life of crime.

I have struggled to get a degree and have spent the last 25 years unable to obtain a job with my degree and the 21K I borrowed has mushroomed to 55K. I soon will be forced into retirement and they will get 15% of my social security. Millions are in my economic trap.

This is a separate and unequal school district with no public oversight. It took Detroit schools and students, leased both from the emergency manager of DPS, and is a "failing district." Only Black students are in it, and its intended expansion also targets only Black districts. The DPS emergency manager loaned this experimental district $12 million from DPS, which is cash-strapped. I am an elected school board member who hears the cries of students and parents in this Jim Crow district. The district lied on its federal loan application. Return the schools to Detroit and end the EAA. It is destroying the potential of Detroit students.

I live near a busy street in the San Fernando Valley. It is sickening the way people speed and don't care if they hit a poor dog or cat. People have stopped in the past only to drag the poor injured, screaming dog onto the side of the road to get him out of the way. I believe that there should be a law that people must stop and get medical aid for the dogs and cats they have hit with their cars. At the very least they should stop and contact animal control. Many times people are killed by hit and run drivers and the drivers claim "Oh I thought I had only run over a dog." They run over people and don't stop because they think they can get away with the excuse "I thought it was only a dog." I believe that this law would not only help dogs and cats, but also help pedestrians who are getting killed by hit and run drivers all the time.

DARRELL ISSA IS HURTING AMERICA BY HIS FALSE ACCUSATIONS AIMED AT THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION. HE IS DISHONEST, SPENDING OUR MONEY. MCCARTHYISM AT IT'S FULLEST

FEMA, UCBerkeley, the East Bay Regional Park District, and the National Park Service have proposed a fire protection program for the East Bay Hills. Fire protection is necessary, however, the absence of a re-forestation plan combined with the extensive use of herbicides in the FEMA plan needs immediate reconsideration. The public in the East Bay has not had sufficient time to discuss this. Urge your political representatives, local, state and federal to intervene and extend the period of public debate until July 31, 2013.

I would like to see the counties in the State of Illinois receive electorial votes like states receive in the National Elections. It has become increasingly unfair where the biggest percentage of a state's population lies in large metropolitan areas. As it turns out, especially in Illinois, the wishes of the population in Northern Illinois overshadow the needs of the downstate population. A better sampling can be taken with the use of county electorial votes.

Worldwide, 1/3 of hived bees are dead or in danger of perishing from food growth mechanisms in place or practice. Pollination is being done by humans in China, an unsustainable activity. Investigate and stop or reduce whatever must be changed in order to resurrect a population of healthy, pollinating bees.

Medicare should be opened up to all US Citizens under 65 on a premium basis. Obamacare has not gone far enough. There needs to be a Federal alternative. Opening up Medicare to all US Citizens for a premium will not only apply the necessary pressures on the private sector providers to improve the cost of coverage, but it will also bring in necessary revenue to shore up the Medicare system for decades to come.

Let's get with the civilized world and implement single payer.
