• Daylight Savings All Year
    I would like it put to a vote to all citizens of Montana to either keep Daylight Savings all year long, or have Standard Time all year long. On March 8, 2013, Dr. Holly Phillips on CBS This Morning sited extensive studies (over 20 years) that show there is 5% increase of risk of heart attack each spring and then a 5% decrease in risk of heart attack each fall.

  • President Obama: Don't Appoint Villaraigosa
    After Mayor Villaraigosa joined "Fix the Debt," I started a petition asking him to leave the group because of their efforts to gut Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. I received over 22,000 signatures (14,000 on SignOn and the rest through the PCCC). Now the media is discussing Mayor Villaraigosa for a possible appointment in the Obama administration. Mayor Villaraigosa ignored us. He didn't care what we had to say. He was willing to ignore his constituents to pander to corporate interestes. His disregard for engaged citizens and all working and middle class families make him an unacceptable choice for a position in President Obama's cabinet. Villaraigosa has ignored the people who helped to get him elected and has presided over budget cuts and service reductions that disproportionately effect the working poor: The Metropolitan Transportation Authority cut nearly 1 million hours of service (citing efficiency) at the expense of working class residents who overwhelming rely on public transportation. African American transit activists fault Villaraigosa for not fighting for a Leimert Park stop, the heart of black culture in Los Angeles, on the Crenshaw Rail line. These are just a few examples of how Villaraigosa has balanced the budget on the backs of hard working Angelenos, and there are many more. We are asking President Obama to not appoint Villaraigosa to a position in his administration.

  • Prevent testing of anthrax vaccine in US children
    DHHS has had two federal advisory committees make recommendations on testing anthrax vaccine and other medical countermeasures in children, since 2011. The immediate goal is to expand the vaccine license to include children, and to increase the civilian vaccine stockpile. The vaccine might be used routinely in children, in future. However, antibiotics are the effective treatment of choice in an anthrax attack. Antiserum and monoclonal antibodies could be used in the event of antibiotic resistance. Vaccine, of unknown effectiveness, would only start to be useful 40 days after immunizations were begun. Why the government has spent billions on a large anthrax vaccine stockpile makes no sense. The US anthrax letters were determined (by the FBI) to come from the supply of a US army scientist. The US has never been attacked by a foreign enemy with anthrax. There is no credible evidence of an anthrax threat to US children. For these reasons, plus the existence of federal statutes and case law that prohibit testing dangerous products in children, who cannot give informed consent, this pediatric trial should not even have been considered. But DHHS has ignored these prohibitions and wishes to proceed with a pediatric trial regardless. Please read the Alliance for Human Research Protection (AHRP)'s report to the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues, which is advising Secretary Sibelius on this anthrax vaccine experiment, at http://www.ahrp.org/cms/images/stories/articles/children_anthraxvaccine_moral_cliff_final_2-28.pdf Please sign our petition and help get the word out! WHOSE children will be selected for this dangerous anthrax vaccine experiment, and for future "countermeasures" experiments? Meryl Nass, MD, Board Member, AHRP Vera Sharav, President, AHRP

  • Mandatory Treatment versus Prosecution for First Time Non-violent Sex Offenses
    I am the Dakota RSOL State Affiliate Organizer and have heard so many sad stories regarding the lack of confidential preventitive treatment and the division of so many families due to our current sex offender laws. As a teacher, I feel I let a student down because she choose to endure the abuse rather than share and have her abuser go to prison and the family be divided. We must demand treatment versus punishment to encourage children to report to STOP the abuse, provide resources, and CURE this epidemic.

  • "Entitlement" reform
    President Obama and Congress seem bent on reforming "entitlement" programs, but they are afraid of public reaction, as well they might be. Let's tell them how it can be done without hurting those who depend on these programs. FYI from AARP: "Social Security is NOT going bankrupt. Even in the unlikely event that nothing changes and the program's entire surplus runs out in 2033, as projected, checks would keep coming. Payroll taxes at current rates would cover 77 percent of all the future benefits promised. That's true for young and old alike, and includes inflation adjustments" FYI: Cuts to the Pentagon's budget can support these and other programs. The Pentagon's 2012-2013 budget exceeds the COMBINED military budgets of ALL other countries in the world. Even with severe cuts, the U.S. remains the most powerful country in the world.

  • The Education Governor
    The Kentucky Department of Education is trying to merge the school where my husband works, Jackson Independent School, with the Breathitt County Schools. We have a model school. Our recent report card score is in the 85th percentile statewide. Breathitt's percentile is 5th, very near the bottom. Their recent superintendent is in the federal penitentiary. If Governor Beshear really cares about education, he will ask KDE to give us the recognition for excellence that we deserve instead of destroying us.
