The stretch of 133rd/Gregorville road in Allegan county between Division and Patterson is in need of major repair/repaving. Vehicle damage due to the condition of the road is inevitable.

The Massachusetts state legislature in an attempt to kick the fiscal can down the road saddled our extensive urban transit system with the debt incurred by the Big Dig (otherwise known as the Big Trough) - an almost entirely vehicle oriented construction nightmare complete with the usual shoddy construction work and defective materials. Worse, they also insisted that the MBTA operate each year on a balanced budget. As a result, commuters, seniors, the entire MBTA ridership are saddled with an unworkable economic plan almost guaranteed to sink a vital urban transit system. As a consequence, promises to execute environmental justice mitigation projects for the communities affected (or afflicted!) by the Big Dig are going unfulfilled because, of course, there are no funds available. This would be easily rectified by the state assuming responsibility for the Big Dig debt and allowing the MBTA to operate as an ordinary business.

Robert Schiavelli of Long Island NY has been fined and faces jail time of up to 15 days for laughing on his own property.

There is a bill, LB 543, to end the death penalty in Nebraska. I urge all state senators to vote for this bill.

Repeal this law because: It stops people at high risk from testing. It perpetuates and increases stigma. No empirical data are available regarding the effectiveness of HIV serostatus exposure laws.  - NIH It puts the person with HIV in danger of violence. It was written in 1989 when HIV/AIDS was untreatable. It is used as a weapon against people that are positive. Treatment decreases the possibility of spreading the infection by 97%. It makes everyone with HIV a victim. A person with HIV can be punished when no risk occurred. Reform this law because: HIV is now treatable and is considered a chronic illness. Treatment is available. Treatment decreases the possibility of spreading the infection by 97%. Tuberculosis has punitive actions that only make treatment the mandatory sentence. Since 2008, only 10 people have been convicted of exposure to HIV. Over 4,000 people are not in treatment and reforming this law can play a major role in encouraging people into care.

I found out recently that I can not afford birth control since Govenor Brownback increased the cost of this medication for state employes and their families. Also Brownback has made it so state insurance will not cover any of the cost for a woman to get a Hysterectomies in the state of Kansas. Brownback should not be aloud to push his Catholic views on state employees. Make it known you still believe in religous freedom and sign our petition today. Thanks

This would legalize home distillation or decriminalize small scale home distillation.

Children who attend full-day 4K programs achieve higher test scores in reading and mathemathics. These children are also more likely to graduate high school and commit less crime as adults. All at-risk chidren in South Carolina deserve the opportunity to attend these programs. Bill 3455 supports the funding of such programs.

Disablilty persons have been affected by paying for their own insurance. This money they're being changed could go towards milk, food and clothing for their children.

South Carolina should not punish its poorest citizens by not participating in the Medicaid Expansion as part of the Affordable Care Act commonly referred to as "Obamacare".
