If we "Support Our Troops", then we should not cut any of their benefits. They risk their lives for us for meager salaries. Their tuition benefit is a means for them to prepare themselves for life outside of the military. Stop the cuts.

As a lawful gun owner, I have a right to own firearms based on my own personal preferences, not ones dictated to me by out of touch legislators in Albany. If this law is not repealed, I will have to ship many items out of state, where I will be unable to make use of them, until such time as I am prepared to move out of state with them. This encroachment on our civil liberties, protected by the United States Constitution, and incorporated against both Federal and State infringement, must not be allowed to stand.

We should not pay for fuel efficiency. The polluters should pay

Currently, there are 2 pieces of legislation (HB 1062, 1622) that have passed the Oklahoma House which would allow for school districts to arm teachers and principals. Bringing guns into classrooms incurs a great risk. We want our teachers teaching kids, not carrying weapons.

We all pay for these so called "entitlements" These are Paid Benefits Words count...... We need to own this not the Republicans .

Assault weapons have no place in the homes of citizens. Please support legislation that would ban the sale, distribution and purchase of assault weapons.

I'm currently receiving unemployment benefits (emergency funds) and my payment has been reduced by 10% due to the recent cuts.

When a person falls behind in child support, their drivers license is suspended, which can result in job opportunities being lost. In our current economy, with so many out of work and unable to pay child support, the pool of workers keeps dropping due to those otherwise qualified individuals not having drivers licenses. Additionally, each time they have to reinstate their drivers license, the state imposes an ever larger "fee" to do so. Eventually, they are never going to get a drivers license simply because it is too expensive.

The Congress is at best inept, or has been willfully negligent in keeping the minimum wage up with inflation. We are DECADES behind in this and MANY in our country are poverty stricken and as a result. Immediate action is required in this poor economy, yet none is being taken. Only the usual phoney "we should do something about this" propaganda we always get from politicians.

My desire is to get fluoride out of our drinking water. They should be concerned for the following reasons it causes the following Arthritis Gastrointestinal Effects, Bone Fracture ,Hypersensitivity and other serious medical conditions. The deadline is right away we cannot waste one more day with fluoride in the water. It personally affects me because I am seeing people drink something toxic and I do not know how to stop the situation. That's very depressing.

Texas Adoptees are denied their original birth certificates which open the door to their health, genetic and cultural history. SB 714 is a small step towards that information for some adoptees. Senator Donna Campbell, MD, an adoptive mother, has blocked the bill based upon false beliefs and ignores independent facts when presented. Please join us in drawing attention to the discrimination against adoptees in Texas.

The traffic on Redwood Road and Jamison Way will be negatively affected with the development of this project. Local residents and shoppers will be affected with greater traffic, cars backed up blocking intersections and driveways, and dangerous left-hand turns will be required to access the shopping center from both Redwood and Jamison. The safety of elderly pedestrians as well as families with young children and pets in the area will be jeopardized. Parking in the Village will only be increased by 41 spaces, half of which will likely go to employees of the TJ MAXX. The parking lot is already congested and inconvenient; consequently, many patrons and employees of the Village will choose to park along Jamison, a residential street already lacking parking. The parking issues, traffic impact, danger and inconvenience likely to be caused to the area have not been properly addressed in the current proposal approved by the Castro Valley MAC.
