Ban all raw log exports from both private and public lands. And yes I have been affected and so has all Oregonians

The nursing to patient ratios in Nevada are unsafe. We owe the people of Nevada better care than what they are receiving. Nurses are doing all they can to function in stressful situations where they are not always able to deliver the best care possible due to being spread so thin. It is time to pass safe staffing laws to protect the patients.

To stop all the money fro big oil and corperations!

Under the new regulations, NMFS/NOAA would be able to grant permits for ocean aquaculture in the Gulf of Mexico. There are numerous problems with ocean aquaculture that will have direct negative impacts on Louisiana and its residents. Offshore aquaculture can jeopardize the health and wellbeing of wild fish through spread ing disease and pollution, which in turn hurts our already struggling fishing industry. In addition, offshore aquaculture facilities will compete for space historically used for both commercial and recreational fishing, among other uses. For the protection of the Gulf and preservation of Louisiana's fishing industry, we urge you to prevent offshore aquaculture in the Gulf of Mexico.

Reasons you should want a trimester schedule: 1) More electives 2) More credits on graduation, making students more competitive when applying to higher education. (70 minute periods make the credits work out to the state requirements) 3) There's no middle/high school mixing. (High School is then different, making it an exciting new challenge for Middle Schooler's, and something to look forward to.) 4) Classes that are 2/3 of year turn into full year in semesters, forcing students to take classes they do not enjoy for longer, and thusly creating a resistance to learning. People like change in classes for more exciting experience. 5) Tris are longer classes. Therefore students have more work time with teacher assistance and better labs. 6) Having semesters is not popular among students, or parents. This means less money is donated because of less support to school district, and commuters won't want to come, losing the district even more money. The parents of commuters and the commuters students like Vashon because it's unique, it has a ton of interesting electives, and semesters makes less uniqueness and less electives.

98% of Americans are getting short changed. Most of the wealth is in the hands of the top 2% while everyone else is struggling. Wall Street is in great shape but many Americans don't have a job or their salary doesn't come close to paying the bills. Just when it seems like things couldn't get worse the Sequester will cut more jobs and services.

I belive animals are sentient beings and deserve our protection. The killing of animals is not sport, only war is equal competition.

State of Florida is planning convert the Florida Medicaid into a prepaid plan which means that all recipients have to sign up with one of the prepaid plans. There will be a decline in the number of Medical and other related fields providers and hence the recipients will have even less choices to get much needed medical treatments. This conversion to prepaid plan is targeted to reduce the cost of the program ? Even when the Federal government is paying 100% of it ? Please do not change the Medicaid to prepaid plan.

Do you think it's right for a publicly elected official to support a racist publicly? Our Black communities are suffering more and more each day. There is very little opportunity in these communities and your support of individuals and organizations whose goal is to destroy and isolate them will not be tolerated. The people of our economically underserved communities should be one of your top priorities, instead of joining forces with racist activists to further promote the destruction of an already down trodden community contemplate what you and your office can to support its growth. Our vote counts to and you need to earn it. We don't believe it is appropriate for a to Publicly Elected Official rally in support of racist individuals or organizations. Racist has personal beliefs which are not in line with American society as a whole. A Publicly Elected Official is elected by the people of the United States of America and has a duty to represent all Americans in that capacity. Any support of racist individuals, groups or organizations on the part of a Publicly Elected Official can be viewed as special interest activity or breach of fiduciary duties by the America people.

Our CoC is just now becoming cohesive once again. We have enjoyed the leadership, due diligence and variety of services from Thurmond Consulting for the past year. We ask for support from the general fund of El Dorado County, CA in the amount of $9000 to carry us through the next 6 months while we work to explore other funding streams and support systems.

Our current Voter Initiative/Referendum Laws in Idaho uphold the public's right to have a voice in government. The State House of Representatives will soon be debating a change in this law that will put geographic restrictions on how signatures are collected. This will make Voter Initiatives more difficult and is like taking away our 2nd Amendment Rights to defend against excessive governmental control.
