The Clinton County Dog Warden Repeatedly Abuses His Power and Authority and Needs To Be Stopped. Hopefully a Petition will bring awareness to how big the problem is.

FOX coverage of news worldwide is extremely biased, controversial, and dramatic. It is important that viewers in Israel receive information that is a little more balanced, if not totally objective.

Let's get Congress to focus on proactive legislation!!!!!

Our dependence on foreign oil could be eliminated today, at once, if truly desired. We did it once before. A car driven 55 mph uses about 20 percent less gas than at 65 mph, and a whopping 40 percent less than at 75 mph. We could have less pollution, fewer accidents and deaths, lower auto insurance, and a kid-friendly planet. New Arctic and off-shore drilling promises to enrich Big Oil at the cost of more oil-spill contamination and an increasingly toxic world. Give your grandchildren a break. It's time to reduce speed limits.

My name is Leah Segedie and I’m a mother of three young boys. My youngest – just 11 months – is severely allergic to the top 8 food allergens: tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soy, dairy, eggs, seafood & shellfish. He is also allergic to all pet dander. When exposed to these things, Steven develops severe eczema that burns, oozes, and sometimes bleeds. He itches like crazy and cries for me to scratch it. This lasts for days at a time. At 9 months, I could no longer breastfeed Steven because my own milk was causing these severe skin reactions. The food I was eating was passing through to my breast milk and he was allergic. My motherly instinct to nourish my son the best way I knew how was actually hurting him. Steven is an example of an extreme case, but allergies among children are becoming an epidemic. In fact, since the mid 1990s allergies among children are up over 400%. When I was a kid, I don’t even remember anyone being allergic to food, but today, it’s about one in eight children. What is going on? One thing that is dramatically different is our food. The US government has allowed genetically modified organisms (GMOs) into our food supply WITHOUT a label since the mid 1990s. Today GMOs can be found in more than its 85% of grocery store items. Including infant formula. This is a major problem. Steven could not drink my milk, nor could I give him the nation’s leading infant formula – Similac – because it contained GM ingredients, and with it, the agrochemicals that GM crops are increasingly exposed to. Trace amounts of these chemicals are showing up in breast milk and infant formula. I’ve learned from experience that it’s extremely difficult to protect our children from GMOs – whether breastfeeding or using formula – and that major corporations like Abbott Laboratories (maker of Similac) are making this so by using GM ingredients. While the long-term health impacts of GMOs are still being debated, the negative impacts of our increasing exposure to the agrochemicals used in GMO farming are not. And when it comes to babies, the most vulnerable, we must exercise precaution. From a mom who had no choice but to turn to formula – and who was horrified by her options – I am calling on Abbott Laboratories to be a leader and remove all genetically modified ingredients from their formulas. This is not debatable if we want to protect babies. Join with me in calling on Abbott to remove the GMOs from Similac. And please share this with your friends. Together we can all make a difference. Let’s protect our children because they ARE the future.

It has been well over five years since Kentucky State Government Employees have been afforded a pay raise. Kentucky State Government workers are very committed to serving our people, are very hard workers and are constantly seeing the prices for goods and services go up along with the annual increase in SSI and Disability that citizens receive, but there has been no increase in State Government pay rates in years. We constantly pay for the goods and services others receive and in return have not been compensated for the hard work and services that State Employees give out. The time is now to start giving our most valuable employees pay increases.

Every year my Dr. test me for Diabetes and High Cholesterol. Humana denied me coverage because I was tested. I have neither of these diseases. I cannot get medical insurance because I have been denied. I want to know how many others that Humana had refused to cover because of a test. Medical Insurance companies are to powerful. They determine our fate. This needs to change.

As a transgender woman on SSDI/SSI and receiving Medicare, I am often denied the medical care I need as the woman I now am. That and in many states, I cannot get/ keep my current female designation on my driver's license; all because the SSA will NOT change my birth sex designation unless I show proof of sexual reassignment surgery. Several states, including Indiana and Ohio, now require just a letter from a licensed psychologist, psychiatrist, or MD to do so on a transgender individual's driver's license. Same with the US Passport. Rather than require proof of sexual reassignment surgery as they currently do at the SSA ; a letter verifying the individual is living " full time" in their chosen gender from a licensed psychologist, psychiatrist, or MD should be sufficient.

Human rights violations are being committed at the Guantanamo Bay detention centers. This fact is contrary to the ideals that have made America great, and represent a shameful chapter in our country's history. We demand that the illegal, unjust, and downright disgusting practices of torture and indefinite detention without trial be halted immediately. There is an honorable way to defend ourselves from our enemies, but this is not it. We call on the White House and the Congress of the United States to take any and all necessary steps to close the Guantanamo Bay detention centers NOW.

Don't charge more taxes to North Carolina Residents. This bill will make it harder for the people to register a vehicle. In addition to paying $68 (for title and tag) and 3% $$$ of the actual car value, people will be forced to pay wherever % imposed by the county they live in. This bill would easily add up to hundreds of dollars to register any vehicle in all North Carolina. Cmon let's make our voice heard! Let's stop secret legislation in NC!

Gun Control improvements: Urgent that you keep pressure for reform on despite setback. We are elders and our common wisdom sees this plain as day: ban assault weapons, magazines over 10 bullets and institute background checks.

The statutes of limitations for sexual abuse in many states are standing in the way of justice. They limit the amount of time victims have to press charges. In many cases the victims are not capable of coming forward until adulthood, many being very young and frightened. They should be able to press charges when they are ready, not told "Sorry, times up." The whole program for convicting sex offenders in the USA is terribly flawed. The system is not set up for individual cases, and it very much should be!
