Active sonar is dangerous to marine life.

I WAS BORN IN 1934. HISTORY WAS UNKIND TO ME AT THAT TIME AND IT STILL IS. THE SCHOOLS I ATTENDED WERE TAUGHT BY TEACHERS WHO HAD VERY LITTLE EDUCATION . THEIR CRITERA WAS THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN. THE HISTORY BOOKS WE UTILIZED WERE USED BY THE WHITE SCHOOLS FIRST AND HAD PAGES PURPOSELY TORN OUT. THE ONE MONTH A YEAR OF BLACK HISTORY IS NOT ENOUGH. THERE WERE BLACK PEOPLE HERE BEFORE COLUMBUS CAME..WE NEED THIS ISSUE FIXED TO SAVE THE EDUCATION SYSTEM.AND OUR CHILDREN FROM HAVING INFERIOR FEELING.

It's clear, after the signing of the sequestration on Friday, that our representatives are simply not listening to us - the voting public. Let's make our voices heard and tell them that we will not stop speaking out until the sit down and compromise!

We all are in danger of being completely ruled by Agenda 21 if someone does not stop it. This is the start of One World System to be headed by the New World Order.

My son Jake was given GHB, the date rape drug, at the age of 13 then sexually assaulted and raped while on a camping trip with his soccer team. His rapist was his soccer coach who is also a secret service agent. This continued for 6 years without anyone knowing or stopping it and Jake turned to drugs to heal his pain. We went to the police for help because Jake was over the age of 18 and police told us we needed him to get arrested so he could receive the help he so desperately needed. He has been arrested and he is not receiving treatment or counseling. Jake needs treatment and compassion for the crimes that have been committed against him. We need help before May 2nd, 2013.

The International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA) and the National Milk Producers Federation seeks to drop the FDA requirement to label milk and other dairy products as "artificially sweetened" when they contain sweeteners such as aspartame. Labeling must include all ingredients regardless of FDA safety approval. If approved these sweetners could then be added to any other food product and not be labeled.

We must not accept austerity measures that affect people who have had nothing to do with the current crisis. Banks and financiers have acted in the most irresponsible manner for the sake of greed and it is they who should suffer austerity.

With Obama listing people for extrajudicial assassination here and abroad, it seems other nation's leaders will soon be doing the same. The world can save lots of drone flights if these leaders all delegate their assassination duties to the UN for vetting and execution.

Now that Justice Antonin Scalia with his racially tinged rhetoric has exposed himself as a radical partisan, an activist judge in every sense, it is time for the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court to demand more impartiality and more decency from the members of his court. We call on the Chief Justice to repudiate Justice Scalia's recent comments and to demonstrate the impartiality of the court.

While employers' websites say that they can't respond to job applicants because they are getting too many resumes, employers claim that they can't find American workers and need to expand the H1-B program. With federal budget cuts, defense industry workers are being laid off in large numbers. Our returning veterans are getting training but are still jobless. Except in chemical engineering, half the women who graduate with a US engineering degree do not have a career in their fields. Age discrimination is rampant as interviewing teams feel threatened by their deep experience. We do not oppose foreign workers. It is simply a matter of survival for many Americans. Ask President Obama to veto Senate Bill 169 and put Americans back to work.
