U.S. Veterans Hospital Patient Abuse 6-15-2011 Still Not InvestigationI 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.

Require Congress to take Economics CoursesCongress 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.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Susan Setteducato

Hold the CdA School Board Accountable for Unethical Decision-MakingThe 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.358 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Aggrieved Citizens

Oppose "The View" Hiring Brooke Shields as a HostThis 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.11 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Laurel Kornfeld

Guns Rights, Mental Health & Public SafetyI'm a former US Marine, a veteran of OIF. I understand our Constitution and the current economic situation we in Washington continue to endure. I value our freedom to keep and bear arms, as this right is the most potent in protecting all others. However, I have recognized that the root of the greatest threat to our freedom & liberty comes not directly from polilticians, or their backers; the true threat is the growing presence of mentally unstable citizens, who are still able to obtain firearms. An unbalanced individual is far more dangerous to themselves and others than anyone when armed. Since the funding reductions to Western State mental hospital, the number of officer-involved shootings in Seattle and throughout the region has risen. I suspect that there is a direct correlation between the growing number of mentally unbalanced individuals and gun violence. Persons unwilling or unable to remain appropriately medicated are a threat to our public safety. Gun owners are very responsible citizens; a group comprised of veterans and public servants. We don't like the idea of paying more for our weapons, but if it protects our future generation's gun rights, we'll gladly pay extra to support our mentally infirmed.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Paul Gerhardt

School LunchesI believe that the school lunches are disgusting. "There were only a few spots on the burger that wasn't gray!" Exclaimed Hailey Wood after taking a bite into a burger Monday, March 11th. Most of the kids don't even eat there lunch. They just look at it and throw it away. The other problem with the school lunches are that the high school students get as much lunch as the preschoolers. We need better school lunches.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Cameron Leavitt
