I am a Tennessee employee who has sat and watched the Tennessee legislature and state Chamber of Commerce for 3 years bully the average working man in Tennessee. In a state that has already "reformed" Workers' Compensation 3 times since 1994 and has seen premium rates decrease that whole time, yet another law is determined to overhaul workers' comp in Tennessee. Most cases where workers are permanently impaired because of job-related injuries, under the proposed new law, will see reductions in payments by 66% or more. The bill is being touted as creating a more efficient system that will put people back to work quicker and have them receive benefits faster, but no one is talking about these drastic reductions to the worker that has a permanent impairment or who may not ever be able to go to work again. There has to be a way that we can make the system more efficient without cutting the benefits to the injured worked and our legislature has people smart enough to figure it out if we only work a little harder. We should not harm these injured workers even further solely because we are in too big of a hurry and too short sighted to see how they will be devastated by HB 194.

We, as a family, have been directly affected by the change in "Residency Status" and my husband having to pay Utah State Income Tax when there are no jobs for him in Utah. 51 weeks is a long time to have to look and Florida was the State that had a job for him. He is close to retirement and we would like to stay here but may not be able to afford to.

Stop the destruction of public schools & giving our tax $$ to private schools, most of whom are religious run. They skim the "cream"( best students & athletes).and poor kids or w/ special needs are left to the schools that Republicans are destroying.

Huey P Long Medical Center "Charity Hospital" has been servicing our state since 1939. Our people need it to remain open.

We strongly encourage the Washington State Governor and State legislature to say NO to coal export trains and terminals in our state! The proposed coal exports from the Powder River Basin threaten Washington States rivers, streams, wildlife, communities and Native American sacred sites.

Midwifery and homebirth have always been legal in Texas. Study after study has shown homebirth with a qualified midwife to be safe. The choice of where and with whom a woman chooses to give birth is a fundamental human right. Please continue to protect that right.

Governor Branstad: Forget your healthcare plan that will cost Iowan taxpayers more and go with the federal Medicaid expansion that costs less and will cover more people. You were elected to serve Iowans, not the Republican party.
