The disturbing reality is that the political establishment of Washington is not interested in representing the needs of ordinary Americans. They are much more interested in representing those of the wealthy and the powerful. Super PACs are able to spend as much as they want on political advertising, giving them significant amounts of power over the political process. They elect candidates of their choice while defeating those who would oppose their agenda. America’s corrupt campaign finance system is making the voices of average Americans harder and harder to hear. The majority of money going to these super PACs does not come from large corporations, but from individuals. The top 46 of these wealthy donors have given a total of $67 million, or two-thirds of the $112 million donated to super PACs this cycle. Titans of the financial services industry, energy executives and hoteliers are now pulling the strings in our government. The democracy that America prides itself in has been undermined. “Our goal must be a government that represents all of the people, and not just those wealthy individuals and corporations who can put millions into political campaigns. Ultimately, we must amend the Constitution to clarify to the Court that our democratic elections were never intended as a tool for special interests to drown out the voices of others.” –Bernie Sanders We are the American people, and we will not allow our voices to be drowned out by Big Money. We will be heard.

Some politicians want to hurt the city economy and cut police and other jobs by repealing the food tax. Support our city and join our movement against the repealers.

Defective implanted devices which have a recall but the affected patients are not told by their physicians or through the media until the damage has been done. My bladder neck mesh was recalled in 1999 but lawsuits cannot be filed before the year 2000. PLEASE investigate the FDA's practices as I am now completely disabled after discovering an additional diagnosis of endometrial cancer. Medical device manufacturers need to be held accountable for their malpractice methods that "quietly" pay off those informed affected but neglect to sound the alarm to all their remaining victims. My quality of life has diminished and could be permanently destroyed. No amount of money for pain and suffering could compensate me or my loved ones for at the age of 60, I will never be able to do any substantial work or possibly ever work again.

In a recent blog post, Mike Dante DiMartino, co-creator of Avatar: The Last Airbender, posted the following: "While we were working on Book 1 of Korra, Bryan and I pitched a TV movie version of the search for Zuko's mom to Nickelodeon. They weren't interested in doing animated TV movies, and chose to pick up Book 2 of Korra instead." Source: http://mikedimartinostory.com/2013/03/20/you-really-want-to-know-what-happened-to-zukos-mom/ While it is unclear from the context of the post why Nickelodeon was not interested in doing a TV movie of The Search, most fans strongly support this idea and would undoubtedly be willing to tune in in huge numbers and buy DVDs, making Nickelodeon a huge profit. It's possible the reason that they did not pick up the idea is that they didn't think it would be popular. Let's show Nickelodeon how profitable picking up a movie about the search for Zuko's mom would be and perhaps they will reconsider. Note that this is a fan-made petition and that the creator of this petition has no affiliation with either Nickelodeon or the creators of Avatar: The Last Airbender.

WE the People have the potential power to ask for a more comprehensive EIS review, but we have to act (again) NOW! Because Coal Backers are becoming successful with moving along their "narrow" EIS.

Abandon Obama care or modify it. Change Obama Care: Everyone working full time will be caused to work 28 hrs examples This is how Raley's and Bell Air treats their employees if your hours were cut to 28 from 40 hrs. They will lose their benefits next year because of Obama Care. Anyone with 28 hours is part time and all employees by Jan 1 2014 will have no benefits. almost all employers will opt out of providing insurance under Obama care the fine is cheaper than the cost of insurance $2k verses $5k cost the company for medical so everyone will be on Obama care. Gov. Subsidy insurance. Increase the fine to $10,000.00 for not providing insurance to employees. The unemployment rate went down because part time employment is up because they are trying to replace all full time employees with part time. How could you survive with 28 hrs. Wk. most people are holding down 2 part time jobs at minimum wage. Do the math $7.75 hr. x28 = $217.00 week x4.3 = $993.00 by the time you pay rent you have nothing left. It would be far better to require the employer to pay ½ toward their medical insurance. Than have all unemployed and supporting their medical because they won’t be able to pay the penalty for not having insurance. The 40 hour work week employment has dropped while part time has increased. True unemployment is close to 20%. This is not a friendly atmosphere to work in when you never know when your medical will be dropped. You will have all employees on Obama care because they will not be able to afford even the penalties. Current Obama care has lowered the middle class to poverty levels. Companies have already started to cut full time employees with 40 hrs to 28 hrs. Raley’s has paid an attorney $10 Million dollars for his services to break the union. With Obama care this will help the lawyer to do his job.. Solution: Abandon Obama care or modify it. Requiring companies with 29 employees or more to provide affordable insurance. To all employees full time or part time and to pay half of the premiums. Requiring employers to give employees with more than 1 yrs of employment 40 hrs work week. Restricting their part time employment to about 10% Increase fine to $10k for each employee not provided with affordable insurance. Raley's/Bell Air grocery chain vows to impose wage cuts Submitted by News10 Web Staff Monday, October 29th, 2012, 5:27pm Topics: News SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - As employees at one of Northern California's largest supermarket chains prepare to strike, the company says it will unilaterally impose a proposed labor contract that would reduce its workers' wages. The Sacramento Bee reports that Raley's supermarkets said it would implement its final contract offer on Thursday to the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union. Raley's said the union failed to offer an up-and-down vote to its members on the contract offer, which included a two-year wage freeze. Raley's worker Ronda Zanelli, a 32-year veteran, told the paper that no one wants to strike but that they are prepared to do so. It would be the first labor strike in the West Sacramento-based company's 77-year history. The company has announced that all non-management positions will have their hours reduced to 28 a week. Gary Burdette, Vice President of Operations for the local franchise, says the cuts are coming because the new Affordable Health Care Act requires employers to offer health insurance to employees working 32-38 hours a week. Under the current law they are not considered full time and that as a small business owner, he can't afford to stay in operation and pay for everyone's health insurance. There are 11 Wendy's restaurants in the metro. “It has a huge effect on me and pretty much everybody that I work with,” says Growbeck, who understands the reasoning and says other part-timers at other fast-food restaurants are facing the same problem. “I'm hoping that I can get some sort of promotion because then I would get my hours, but everybody is shooting for that because of the hours being cut.” Burdette says the decision affects around 100 employees. It was a tough one and he understands why people are upset, but the hour reduction is effective in two weeks for all non-management. Management employees will continue to have benefits as they are officially full time. Thank you Obama care for cutting my son's hours @ work. He is working @ McDonald's w/ 38 hours a week now 28. He will be job hunting now. CLOSE BANKS LOOP HOLE THAT LIKE B OF A PAYS NO TAX THAT WE GAVE BAIL OUT MONEY TOO. MUST PAY TAXES HAVE THESE TAX RIGHT OFF AND PAY NO TAXES MAKE CORPORATE TAX A FLAT FEE OF 10-12 %.A cancer diagnosis can be shocking; but learning that you have cancer when it is too late to reverse the damage is devastating. Often patients are too overwhelmed by the disease itself to consider pursuing legal action. However, the burden on an entire family's time, emotions and financial resources is immense, and if the disease could have been prevented by more thorough care from health care professionals, financial compensation should be required. This is another balloon ready to pop; false economy when most investors are buying homes from banks and not private citizens. Require all realtors one week before they can submit their offers to bank and submit all offers not the one they think will qualify.

Why are we feeling ill? The annual spraying of 20 billion tons of aluminum, barium, strontium, mercury and other toxic, carcinogenic and biohazardous material over cities/counties everywhere (including daily over Kauai Island an the Hawaiian Islands) is already having devastating effects on humans, the soil, the water, forests, eco and marine systems and all life forms. The short term effects have shown to be causing residents and visitors to have respiratory illnesses frequently as a result. But the long term effects are deeper, such as alzheimer's, neurological disorders and cancer. If the public were adequately informed on this topic, most would take appropriate action to put an immediate stop to these destructive activities

WORKING AT A FOOD BANK ,HAS OPENED MY EYES TO THE TREMENDOUS PROBLEM IN THE UNITED STATES.

Some members of Congress are proud that they are voting to make cuts to Social Security and Medicare programs. They say we all must make sacrifices. But they ask, once again, for those who can least afford it to shoulder the burden. Let Congress share some of that burden.
