Afghan elected leaders do not want foreign troops in their country. US taxpayers do not want the occupation and cannot afford it. US should withdraw its troops and drones. Taliban will make some gains, but not succeed in defeating the Afghan government. US will not be responsible for Afghan affairs any longer. Currently our presence sets back the causes of democracy, peace, and reconciliation.

Fracking in New York could pollute our air and water, but fortunately the New York State Assembly just passed a bill to keep fracking out of New York for at least two years. Help us make sure it has the votes it needs to pass the State Senate and get to Gov. Cuomo's desk. Join us in telling the New York Senate and Governor Cuomo: we don't want fracking in New York.

I was illegally fired for organizing to improve conditions at the Walmart warehouse near Chicago where I work. Walmart's contractor, Roadlink, broke the law and Walmart's own Standards for Suppliers. We demand that they live up to the Standards for Suppliers and reinstate the workers immediately and that Walmart enforce its own Standards for Suppliers. We need to stop illegal retaliation for organizing in the Walmart supply chain! We need you to join us in calling on Roadlink to settle the unfair labor practice charges and reinstate me and my co-workers with pay now.

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.
