I feel that they are people just like you and me. Our message to give out is that "Gays and Lesbians have a right to live as they choose, they don't have the right to redefine marriage for all of us."

I work with the working poor of Iowa, and daily see their inabilities to receive adequate medical and dental care for themselves and their families. IowaCare does not meet the needs of those who have very limited transportation and access to regional care in Des Moines and Iowa City.

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 EDUCATIONAL REQUIREMENTS 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 EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM.AND REMOVE THE INFERIORITY COMPLEX FROM OUR CHILDREN"S VIEW.

Any across-the-board pay cuts for federal employees must include the same pay cuts for all members of Congress and the president of the United States.

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.
