It's time that the MBTA invest in bigger and of course, clean energy buses for all of us who rely on public transportation in this city.

Congress is not productive. Nothing gets done. Congress' approval rating hovers around 10%.

We need decent jobs that are geared towards research and technology In our area.

Fluoridation of drinking water in Hawaii is a subject we need more education about in Hawaii. Fluride is a naturally occurring mineral, not "toxic waste" as it has been mislabeled. It protects children's teeth and is very safe when added in normal amounts (1 p.p.m.).

There should not be fluroid in my tap water. It is a chemical and calcifies your pineal gland in your brain. Its is a drug and if people want it they should have it from a doctor not their water! Please do some research and see for yourself the harm it is causing people.

Under the mistaken belief that wolves have recovered and can be turned over to state management, some in Congress are vocally supporting legislation to remove protections for wolves under the Endangered Species Act.

I suffered a stroke at the U.S. Veterans eye clinic Fayetteville, AR June 15, 2011, a doctor there had my wife drive me to U.S. Veterans hospital, Veterans Health Care System of the Ozarks. http://www.fayettevillear.va.gov/ (John R. Henley M.D. and Mark A. Elderle M.D.) there in Fayetteville, they did a scan on my brain, no doctor there at Fayetteville to read it so they sent it to Alabama to be read. I lay in the stench of my own feces and urine for 5 hours. My wife yanked me out of there and brought me back to Fort Smith, to Sparks Regional Medical Center http://www.sparkshealth.com/locations/sparks-regional-medical-center emergency room where I was given HUMAN care and hospitalized. My wife and I contacted Senator Mark Pryor http://www.pryor.senate.gov/public/ and Congressman Steve Womack http://womack.house.gov/ and ask for an investigation into the abuse at the U.S. Veterans hospital in Fayettevliie. For over a year now we have ask their help in opening an investigation and they do not return our phone calls and emails regarding investigation. I have had Parkinson's disease for about 9 years, I have since June 11, 2011, had 3 more major strokes, suffered many falls, broken my shoulder from a fall, and now bound to a wheelchair. In my opinion, Senator Mark Pryor and U.S. politicians care less about the medical care of U.S. Veterans. Seems to me they wish we would just die and go away. If you get a chance to speak to Senator Pryor, Congressman Womack, and Senator John Boozman, ask them to show you the letters I wrote and emailed them, also the emails my wife wrote them concerning the abuse my wife and I suffered June 15, 2011. I honorably served six years of U.S. Military service, Why am I being denied the investigation from the honorable service of my Government elected officials who are paid to represent "we the people who pay their salary" Lynn E.

Congress make decisions that will affect millions, without fully understanding the repercussions of their actions. They vote for cuts, perhaps thinking this will save the government money when in fact it ends up costing more in the long run.

My son is a being cut out of CA: Placer County Auburn Med Clinic who has The Psychologist he needs to continue keeping him stable.My son and I were Guarenteed he would always have this! My son should not be treated like this because he is now at risk.

The CdA School Board of Trustees made a sudden decision to remove PYP, a successful, community-funded program, from Hayden Meadows Elementary School without due diligence. The manner in which they made their decision violated their own code of ethics, demonstrated discrimination and fiscal irresponsibility, and violated Idaho's Open Meeting Law. We believe they should be held accountable for their unethical actions. We petition the board with this grievance to give them an opportunity to reverse their decision and proceed in an ethical manner that is consistent with district and state policy and procedures.

This is a petition opposing Barbara Walters' very inappropriate choice of Brooke Shields as a co-host of "The View." In addition to having no performing talent, Shields is an ultra-conservative supporter of Newt Gingrich whose fame comes largely through the money of her land developer father, whose developments have been ecologically destructive. She is not a "real woman" in touch with the issues ordinary women face every day and certainly not worthy of a show that has hosted the president of the United States. ABC already made bad choices in canceling "All My Children" and "One Life to Live" and replacing them with boring reality shows. We ask they please not ruin "The View" by hiring a vapid, undeserving host.

I am doing a senior project on Hydraulic fracturing for natual gas. It is dirty and the chemicals in this process get into our water and are harmful to us.
