Terminator Seeds are genetically engineered seeds that have been gene spliced to be "sterile." If sterile seeds are released into the environment, they could cross-contaminate other plants making them sterile too. Without the ability of plants to produce seeds, it could alter the environment as we know it; making it "slient!" There will be no food for the animals, birds, bees or even us. Everything would become dependent on corporations to provide seeds for us to grow our own food!

Head Start is a valuable early childhood educational tool. Funding is in jeopardy for this program. My son attended Head Start for 18 months. I believe it was instrumental in positive outcomes in his education from the first grade to the completion of his MBA in Hospital Administration.

A couple of years ago Fairfax County Government created "Controlled Lanes" that are open at rush hour and closed all other times. Everyday I sit in heavy or gridlock traffic during off peak times and see those controlled lanes closed when could be open easing the flow of traffic, why are they closed?? REVENUE! So cops can write us tickets. We as tax paying citizens paid for those roads and should have the final say on how we would like to use them! If you are sick of seeing those controlled lanes closed and creating heavy traffic help by signing this petition and get them open!

Within the last week, Minnesota's gasoline prices have jumped to the highest in the nation, even more than Hawaii. A month ago we were about 3.29 a gallon and now we have jumped to 4.45 a gallon and rising daily. They are claiming that this is because 2 refineries in Illinois have decided to do maintenance and are shutting down producton. Interestingly this is going to start before the busiest travel holiday season, between Memorial day and the 4th of July. This was definatly a preplanned action. There are not any gas stations that are running out of gas, they all have plenty and yet prices are going up daily. Minnesota has its own gasoline refinery which is suppossed to supply our gas. We are once again being ripped off by big Oil by their price gouging during the summer holiday season. What normal business would shut down for maintenance, during the busiest travel season. We own a small business and with these prices people are cutting corners and are not spending, this will cause a rippling effect to the Minnesota Economy. We need to speak out and devulge our minnesota elected officials with emails and phone calls to investigate this scam that is being run on the Minnesota People.
