I am tired of the TPS District 7 school board member, Dr. Loid Jacobs, voting against things that will benefit our schools.I have 2 children who attend schools in District 7 and her voting record is a detriment to their schools.

Texas has the largest number of uninsured children in the nation. It also has the largest number of people living in poverty. These constituents need health care. Without access to services they suffer, as does all of Texas.

Do not pass Right-to-Work Laws or changes to the Prevailing Wage in Missouri. .These laws are necessary to keep Missouri wages fair and prevent out-of-state contractors from bringing in out-of-state workers and paying them lower wages. Cheaper prevailing wages for different counties says these workers should stay in proverty. Allowing unfair competition puts all workers in proverty.

Requiring mandatory ignition interlock devices to be placed on all vehicles of 1st time drunk driving offenders for the duration of their sentence. My 13 year old daughter was killed by a multiple repeat drunk driving offender at 3:00 in the afternoon when getting off of her school bus. Right now judges may require an ignition interlock device but are not required to do so. The average person caught driving while intoxicated the first time has actually driven 86 times while intoxicated. An ignition interlock device installed on the vehicle would help to discourage repeating the offense until the person changes their behavior voluntarily.

California Public Schools should be allocated budgets per student that cover cost of implementing Common Core Standards and the Technology to support STEM education. Budgets will consider new technology implemented in every school in the previous year and that is applied towards the schools per student cost. This will allow schools that do not have the proper equipment to catch up.

I have been unemployed for over 2 years, and cannot find job despite my fervent desire and abiity to work. My optimism that America will take care of its citizens is waning. Individuals, whether born and raised in America, who live in San Diego, CA and speak Spanish but have much less education than me can readily obtain employment, while I suffer from lack of employment because my primary language is English and I do not speak spanish as required by numerous job announcements. Also, I believe I am discriminated against because of my age. I am 55 years old.

Congress no longer works FOR the people. They work for corporations and their own interests. Their main priority is to make President Obama fail, which makes the country worse off. We, the people who pay their salaries, should demand work in return. Also if they don't want health insurance for all, single payer, they should not have health insurance themselves, provided by us.

Young women attending Colorado's institutes of higher education are particularly vulnerable to assault including rape. The legislation regarding on-campus CCW bans has brought stark and scary light to this situation. I attended CU Boulder where this issue was a sizeable concern and risk for women. One generation later, as my own daughter prepares to attend college, I don't see any appreciable changes to made women safer on campus.

I Joe Sangataldo was laid off 10/10/10 from the Vineland One Stop Center with six other Employment Counselors. We were federal stimulus full time funded Civil Service and UAW Union Employees. The County said the were short funds and had to cut. Acutal budgets I reviewed for the specific county budget showed no short fall in funds. I and my Co Workers were sending Adults to training, job searching, and advising several thousands of area unemployed to battle the lack of jobs. In Cumberland and Atlantic County NJ the UI rate is over 15% easy. It is almost at the bottom for jobs in the entire nation.

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. Basically a dispute between him and a neighbor who doesn't like him, Mr Schiavelli has been the victim of frequent calls to police by this neighbor, who uses the nuisance calls to harass him.
