The mining industry in NV has been getting a sweetheart deal for far to long. With Nevada schools continually ranking near the bottom, we need to invest more in education in Nevada. Democrats introduced SJR15 to set a higher tax rate and to tax mining proceeds. This can add up to $780 million dollars into NV education, depending on the tax rate that is set.

Many North Carolina citizens need the health coverage expanded MEDICAID of the ACA will give us. I worked at Stough Elementary School with Governor McCrory's sister for 10 years, because of health issues of self & sons, & Broughton HS forcing my son to Drop Out when he was hospitalized, I had to quit work, I'm a widow & the only parent. My son's 4 year struggle is documented-Legal Aid & Duke Law filed the longest petition in NC history on behalf of my son. We suffer greatly without health insurance, we suffer innocently. Many more suffer with us. We need & deserve health insurance. There's no fair reason not to expand MEDICAID coverage for citizens. The money is already available. Please ask Governor McCrory to do right by us & our children.

To eliminate any notion of an Emergency Financial Manager in Detroit or any other city in the state of Michigan. As the citizens have voted overwhelmingly to remove the said position in the 2012 election, it is the obligation of our state's elected officials to follow the will of the people. Anything less may be considered a totalitarian government practicing taxation without representation.

I have career oriented/professional friends in their mid-50s to early 60s who have been underemployed/unemployed for several years or more. They are depleting their 401ks, unable to pay into their social security, do not have health care, and probably limited retirement. They will be unable to help their children, extended family, or themselves due to lack of income. A lack of jobs/income hurts everyone in the community. The Republican Congress ran on jobs and growing the economy. However, they have not created one job. Rather than create jobs, they cut jobs. The Republican Congress hurts the American people by constantly attacking, fighting, and disparaging President Obama because he is African American. The Republican Congress want to tarnish President Obama's legacy at the expense of the American people. They fight him on everything to the point of not accomplishing anything. Their behavior is grossly wrong, criminal, and treasonous.

One in three women as well as many men in the Coast Guard are going to fall victim of sexual assault and rape. We had enough of these attacks against our shipmates. Stand with members and veterans of the United States Coast Guard as we work towards eliminating sexual violence in the U.S Coast Guard.

I want the governor to stop playing tea party politics and accept the expansion of Medicaid as it is proposed in the Affordable Care Act.

Gut ownership is a constitutional right, but it is also a responsibility that incurs liability, for which all owners must have insurance.

The U.S. Federal Constitution does not guarantee the right to vote for all American citizens. We need a guarantee at the federal level that all citizens can and may, if they so choose, exercise their right to vote and that right may not be abridged.

Secondhand smoke is already proven to cause numerous health problems leading to a costly and agonizing death. Residents are exposed to life threatening secondhand smoke that literally travels through the walls of apartments, condos, and town homes without any recourse to protect their health in such a situation. These residents include children, veterans, the elderly, health conscious people, and pets and they deserve protection, particularly in these times of run away health care costs.

Please do not raise income taxes. It is hard enough on the working Middle Class to manage with the ever increasing expenses (food, heat, gas, ss tax, etc)... Many of us are not seeing any raises in our incomes either this year. Please reconsider...

We payed $60 for a game we can't even play. EA should give us what we want so there is no required internet-connection.

I am a current college student about to graduate with 3 associates degrees and I got a PCS in 2000, but attended and completed drug treatment. I would like you to pardon my record so I can get my medical license for a physicians assistant. That is the only thing on my record, It wasn't a person to person crime and I would like a chance to have a good life. Please pardon Terra Schaller.
