Keystone XL would carry 830,000 barrels a day of the world's dirtiest, most dangerous oil, putting American drinking water at risk and accelerating climate change. President Obama has the power to stop this disaster before it starts.

If people were charged 10 cents for a plastic and /or Paper bag ,they would start bringing their own bags. This would help our landfills, because it takes a long time for one Plastic bag to decompose and most people only use their plastic bags one time. We cut down mill approximately 14 million trees, each year for paper bags. They have a successful program in California and in Hawaii, why not North Carolina ?

Last Friday 1130 AM Twin Cities News Talk radio host Bob Davis told the Sandy Hook victims to "go to hell" for supporting sensible gun control. This outrageous behavior should bring about a swift response from all Americans concerned with saving the lives of our youth.

90% of the american people favor some form of gun control or at least a vote on the issue. If the congress won't vote on an issue so favored by the people lets not buy them lunch or haircuts. Lets save money by making them either do their job or at least pay for some of the freebees.

Congress made a bad decision by enacting "Sequestration" and does not have the integrity to step up and correct it in the face of it's obvious and disastrous effects. Last week, they demonstrated their ability to act almost overnight when they quietly overhauled their own Insider-Trading Law (to their benefit), and they can do it again when it will benefit so many ordinary Americans in so many different and vitally important ways. The unintended and devastating consequences of this ill conceived legislation are far beyond anyone's ability to foresee and it must be repealed immediately in the interests of America and the American People.

The SSC program has impacted the lives and futures of thousands of students in Philadelphia, including myself. The has allowed many inner city students to pave their way towards college and a successful career path, it would be a shame if the program was forced to close.

While grieving the death of her mother, 19-year teaching veteran Carla Hale was called into her principal's office at Bishop Watterson High School in Columbus, Ohio, and told she was being terminated for violating Diocesan Policy 45116.1, the code barring teachers from violating "moral laws." When pushed for specifics, administrators told Carla an anonymous parent had complained after seeing Carla's long-time partner, Julie, mentioned in her mother's obituary. Carla Hale was a much loved and well-respected teacher at Bishop Watterson. Please sign the petition to the Diocese of Columbus asking them to comply with a Columbus ordinance prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation and immediately reinstate her as a teacher.

Kentucky Home Birth Coalition is working to license direct-entry midwives using the Certified Professional Midwife credential. Kentucky Has a higher rate of home birth than the national average yet has no path to licensure for direct-entry midwives who provide the majority of care to these families. Women need access to quality maternity care regardless of their chosen place of birth. Certified Professional Midwives (CPM) are nationally credentialed midwives who are licensed in 27 other states and provide evidence-based and cost effective primary maternity care. More and more Kentucky women are choosing to give birth at home and need access to quality midwifery care. We urge the Kentucky legislature to vote yes to license Certified Professional Midwives.

I would like to send a huge "Thank You" to all of the U.S. senators that stood up and defended the constitution and my 2nd amendment rights by voting "Nay" on the gun control measures that were recently voted on in the U.S. Senate. These gun control measures would have done absolutely nothing to make our country safer. The only thing they would have accomplished would be limiting the 2nd amendment rights of law-abiding citizens.
