Marijuana should be legal because its a natural plant and can be used for medical reasons such as treating a patient from (ADD) and also even cancer in some cases.

These brave people who videotape and expose the abuse of animals, like cows too sick to walk to their slaughter, so they are forklifted, and veal calves (babies) skinned alive and then thrown, still living, still breathing, still suffering, into a pile to slowly die - are having their FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS TO FREE SPEECH VIOLATED by laws by big business that want to curtail their ability to document these atrocities. If these companies are going to abuse these sick animals, skin them alive and torture them, treat them worse than being in a Nazi Death Camp - and expect us to EAT the meat thereafter, then people should be allowed to show the truth of what they are doing. How DARE big business come in and place severe limitations on exposes and their reporters' ability to showcase these horrors!

A bill is about to pass allowing sick, diseased, and abused horses to be sold on a block as "meat". They will then be taken (malnourished, beaten, and miserable - most so sick they can barely walk) - not to be cared for and rehabilitated for a life that has been unjust and cruel to these elegant creatures, but instead, they will be led or often forklifted (when they're too sick to stand) to their place in line for slaughter. Horsemeat is already showing up in US Meatballs (prepackaged). Would YOU eat a horse? Would you like to see horses sold for slaughter - killed here, chopped and grinded up for parts/meat, then shipped overseas while rotting in some cheap refrigerator? Isn't it time we stepped UP to help animals? Is there going to be a dog-meat factory next (horse meat is legal in London, and dog meat is legal in Korea, so why not? where does it stop?). IT STOPS HERE. HELP STOP THE MADNESS HERE!

I see restaurants and stores throw away food all the time. I heard about a boy starting a petition to end this before in another state. All the shelters or food banks have to do in order to receive the leftover food is sign off on suing if a person gets sick from the food. Please sign this and show that you care about people and are tired of this waste!

Construction of the proposed Keystone XL pipeline would have detrimental impacts on American Indian treaty lands, waterways, and sacred sites. Additionally, the XL pipeline would present serious potential environmental risks to the the general well-being of wildlife, the Earth, and human health. Especially disconcerting is the threat of spills and their possible impact on the major aquifers that they may cross.

Cutting the U.S. Post Office services down by a day and stopping Saturday delivery to balance a budget that is held hostage by Congress in the first place is not acceptable. Strengthen what the U.S. Post Office and their mail carriers can do, not what they can't do.

Marijuana is a harmless herb that is being used to punish people from all walks of life and to help make money for "For Profit Prisons." It is time for governments both Federal and Local to reap the benefits of legal growing, sales, and marketing of Marijuana.

We in Central and Upstate NY depend upon our wells for water. Our communities are rural and so widespread, we have no other water source. Fracking, no matter how "safely" it is done, releases poisonours chemicals into our ground and, then, of course, into our groundwater.

Every American is affected by their no compromise attitude. They want the poor and middle class to suffer and they feel no effect not fair if they had to do without one check they would do their job
