Coverage for eating disorders including Anorexia Nervosa is often restricted by health plans via strict medical necessity criteria, pre-authorization requirements, benefit limitations, or lack of coverage for residential care.

With Austerity (AKA 'sequester') measures being imposed on the American public in an effort to reduce public debt, we as citizens must demand that those responsible for cutting or eliminating basic social and human services are themselves required to participate in cost-cutting measures. Nobody should be exempt.

Thank you pointless, ineffective Congress. You can't even pass background checks on gun ownership? Well okay then. The 90% of us that want it now have a plan. We, the undersigned, want background checks, we want assault weapons banned and we want Walmart, the largest seller of guns in the country, to help us make it happen. Cause if you don't - we won't be shopping at Walmart anymore. So give you a taste of what we, the majority mean, we will be boycotting Walmart this Saturday, April 20th. Go to Target, go to Kmart, to Costco, to Publix, to anywhere else for just this one day. Get a taste of who Walmart's actual client base is....Walmart can help us fix the gun issue in this country - or we will shop elsewhere....

Linda Serafini-Gale is a bilingual/ESL teacher in a suburb of Houston, TX and worked with parents to help their children succeed. Born and raised in Los Angeles, CA Linda grew up noticing how her Latino friends were treated: directed to homemaking and shop classes in school, and called names like "stupid" and worse. In those days, none of her Latino friends dreamed of going to college—it felt beyond their reach. Yesterday, thanks to people power across the country, a bipartisan group of senators introduced a bill for comprehensive immigration reform. This is a major moment to celebrate—and it is a moment to act!

My appeal is for compassion for a choice for a peaceful death when options have run out or pain has become unbearable in a hopeless situation. I implore the people of Florida to take a look at the laws passed in Oregon and Washington State that I have included in this petition.

Our Congressmen are supposed to represent their constituents. By voting "No" on a Senate bill proposing very watered down gun regulations measures--closing background check loopholes and creating a Commission to study and report on causes of mass violence, among other things--these democratic senators have willfully ignored the 90% of citizens supporting such measures as a common sense step. Instead, they seem to have caved to the NRA and its threats of its financial power. Tell the DSCC that we will no longer contribute to its coffers until it publicly withdraws support for Mark Begich (Alaska), Mark Pryor (Arkansas), Max Baucus (Montana), and Heidi Heitkamp (North Dakota).

I am Immigrant enjoying been an American citizen for 39 years.

Billions of dollars are spent and thousands of Americans are arrested each year for a victimless crime which is becoming increasingly accepted by the public.

Failure to pass the watered down gun amendment when 90% of the public was in favor is unexplainable and disgusting. The so called representatives of the people should be all censured NOW.

Stand in support of immigration reform with a speedy, clear pathway to citizenship for all 11 million aspiring Americans.

State Senator Richard Woodbury (independent) has introduced an official resolution calling on the U.S. Congress "to pass a constitutional amendment to reverse the ruling of the United States Supreme Court in Citizens United V. Federal Election Commission." Citizens United was the infamous decision that said corporations have the same "free speech" rights as people and that has allowed unlimited campaign spending by corporations and individuals, drowning out the voices of regular people. Twelve states have now officially called for an amendment to the U.S. Constitution to overturn the Citizens United decision. It's time for Maine to join them. Ask your State Senator and State Representative to co-sponsor Senator Woodbury's resolution. And be sure to join us at 10 AM on Monday, April 29th, at the State House in Augusta, to present this petition to the legislature.
