I have taken part in music programs when I was in school. A lot of kids that take part in art and music and science type programs tend to do better in reading, writing, math and science and it also helps keep kids out of trouble and gives them an outlet for self expression.

House passed gun law to take away local governments right to pass ordinances on gun safety.

Texas Senior Senator John Cornyn sits on the Senate Judiciary committee that is drafting comprehensive immigration reform legislation. Join us in calling on him to live up to the promise of opportunity and immigrant integration that makes Texas and the U.S. stronger, freer, and more prosperous.

Indiana has a 8.6% unemployment rate and adding to that are people being released from prison and needing jobs. Republicans need to stop this craziness and tea-party extreme right mentally-ill behavior and reduce their own salaries to minimum wage public workers for 1 year and see how far they could live. People need jobs and to be paid a higher, at least, minimum wage of $9.00 per hour.

Rafters entering the river system in Idaho or Oregon coming out at Heller Bar after being on the water several days should not have to be subjected to the expensive parking fee at Heller Bar. There should be fee, I agree, but the absence of pay phones, no cell service or wifi, no security and the lack of clean, stocked restrooms there, make the high fee ridiculous. The annual fee is 35.00, and river rafting can be a dangerous sport. Please reexamine this fee for out of state folks that DO NOT WANT the annual pass but need to have their cars delivered earlier JUST IN CASE they need to come out early.

Nevadans need to support all U.S. Senators; U.S. House of Representatives; President Barach Obama; all Nevada State legislature members that support a balanced budget in Nevada and in the U.S. Congress that protects low and middle income families; senior citizens; disabled people; and children! They need to protect Medicare; Medicaid; Food Stamps; WIC; Headstart; Student Loans; Veterans benefits; HUD low income housing; job training; infrastructure investment in our highways, bridges, roads, schools, teachers, policeman, and fireman. This sounds like a tall order but there are billions of dollars that can be saved and used to pay for the above benefits by closing tax loopholes on the wealthiest Americans and Corporations. All businesses sending jobs out of America should have their profits taxed higher than businesses that keep jobs in America! My husband and I live in HUD low income Senior housing in Henderson, Nevada. We live on my Clark County, Nevada PERS pension and our Social Security benefits. My husband is a Vietnam Veteran. I am on Medicare and Medicaid and Food Stamps. We need to take care of our most vulnerable Americans; not the wealthiest Americans and Corporations! Ed and Lois Denaut, Henderson, Nevada

The Patriot Coal bankruptcy will be a lost health care and pension engine for thousands of mine workers.

Because our immigration system is broken, there are currently 11 million immigrants living in the US with no way of becoming citizens. Most of these immigrants have lived in this country for more than a decade and have come to America to seek a better life for their families. They are Americans-in-waiting who are ready to fulfill the requirements of our citizenship process - to study English, pay taxes, maintain a good record and be of good moral character. Senator McConnell is the leader of Senate Republicans and he will have tremendous power in moving or blocking immigration reform. Recently, Senator Rand Paul said that he supports a pathway to citizenship for the 11 million immigrants currently living in the United State without papers -- but so far we have heard nothing from Senator McConnell. We need Senator Mitch McConnell to support legislation with a pathway to citizenship for these 11 million people. Instead of focusing only on the border, we need a new approach that is better for families and makes more economic sense. Tell Sen. McConnell to follow Rand Paul’s example and support immigration reform that creates a pathway to citizenship.

The most recent version of SB21 as of Tuesday still provides hundreds of millions of dollars of tax relief a year -- up to $1 billion or more -- for nothing in return. Read more here: http://www.adn.com/2013/03/19/2831929/our-view-dont-gamble-on-oil-tax.html#storylink=cpy

Raleigh's 2030 goals sustainable growth call for less sprawl and more compact, walkable growth in redevelopment areas. But this plan can only work if nearby neighborhoods are protected from the density impacts of increased car congestion and the bulk of larger construction. Mitigating these impacts in an area where road widening is constrained by stable neighborhoods will require a predictable plan for (1) contextual infill, (2) upgraded infrastructure and (3) improved mobility options that make it easier accomplish daily activities without driving. Given the high market demand in the Cameron Village Shopping Center area for more compact, walkable development in accordance with Raleigh's sustainable growth goals, the residents, land owners and business owners in the Cameron Village area call on the Raleigh City Council to initiate a detailed plan for sustainable redevelopment and mobility, updating and extending the Vision and Action Items of the Wade-Oberlin Small Area Plan. A Cameron Village Vicinity Plan would: 1. include design concepts for street changes that improve network efficiency and emphasize more mobility options for pedestrian, bicycle and transit access within and beyond the vicinity, 2. apply contextual design elements of the Comprehensive Plan and UDO (both adopted since the Wade-Oberlin Plan) to provide a more predictable blueprint for sustainable redevelopment in the area, and 3. specify near-term and long-term improvements and costs for infrastructure, streetscapes and enhanced transit operations.
