Nearly 20 % of California's coastal marine ecosystems are now protected under the California Marine Life Protected Act. As the largest and most important estuary on the west coast of North America, the Bay was originally intended for inclusion under the Act, but marine protection has stalled at the Golden Gate. Critical marine and estuarine habitat, endangered and economically important species all urgently need our protection.

The US Navy recently revealed plans to station four drones at its Naval Base in Point Mugu, west of Malibu. Drone strikes have killed scores of civilians in foreign countries sparking widespread anger at the United States by those affected as well as responsible people all around the world. I certainly don't want some based 30 miles from where I live. 700 jobs, most of which will be transferred in from elsewhere, can never be worth my peace of mind.

i have seen this "administrative fee" on my bill. I also noticed that they include 2 on the first month, if you happen to start your billing in the second half of the month. This sneaky, unwarranted fee, represents almost 100 million in year in hidden fees to consumers.

After veteran is rendered disabled from an accident caused by the negligence of co-worker. The State of Minnesota allows for the garnishment of his disabilty check. I don't see any reason that they should seek such a large amount. Ther should be a limit on what they can take.

I am a former Cleveland Public School alumni, and a undergraduate of Cleveland State University, in the State of Ohio which is about to receive a major impact in education. *Teachers and Schools: Ohio will lose approximately $25.1 million in funding for primary and secondary education, putting around 350 teacher and aide jobs at risk. In addition about 34,000 fewer students would be served and approximately 100 fewer schools would receive funding. * Education for Children with Disabilities: In addition, Ohio will lose approximately $22 million in funds for about 270 teachers, aides, and staff who help children with disabilities. *Work-Study Jobs: Around 3,320 fewer low income students in Ohio would receive aid to help them finance the costs of college and around 1,450 fewer students will get work-study jobs that help them pay for college. *Head Start: Head Start and Early Head Start services would be eliminated for approximately 2,500 children in Ohio, reducing access to critical early education. Our children's education and 21st Century Job Creation should be our top priority, and these cuts should be stopped.

As a teenager, it's hard to connect to national politics when all that seems to come out of Washington D.C. is bad news. At the local level, it's an entirely different story. Teens turn to local government for a high quality of education, insurance of safety, job opportunities, and much more. At age 16, a teenager is old enough to work to support his/her own family and afford his/her own future. At age 16, one gains driving privileges. At age 16, one can be tried for certain crimes and pay certain taxes. At age 16, one should be allowed to vote in local elections. It's time to take a step towards youth enfranchisement and allow 16 and 17 year olds to vote in Takoma Park, Maryland in local elections. Please contact Ben Feshbach ([email protected]) or Tim Male, the sponsor of this initiative on the Takoma Park City Council ([email protected]) for more information. Notice: please only sign this petition if you are a Takoma Park resident.

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.

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.

Sequester and random cuts. I am on a limited income and cuts will increase prices and further reduce my miniscule spending ability.
