The half billion in expenses Pennsylvania owes is mostly to pensioners. Legalization of cannabis will offset this cost and provide sustained revenue beyond the retirement of the Baby Boomers. It will reduce crime, reduce overall health expenses, and stimulate community development, especially in rural areas.

The manipulation of our constitutional process to allow the minority to thwart the will of the majority has seriously and negatively affected the state of our union. It is time for Congress to stop representing their own personal interests and to start representing "We the people." Stalemate and obstructionism are not acceptable and it's time for Congress to STOP IT!

Honorable Governor We, the consumers, are dumbfounded by the continuous rise in Gas Prices. The world supply suddenly has not shrunk nor did our President declare a war in the Middle East. The only explanation we have is price gouging. Please finish your inquiry on the last Gas Price Rise and make the inquiry results public. Also please start a new Inquiry on the recent up swing in Gas Price.

Child Protective Services do not keep families unified and the Government does not let Grandparents have any rights even if years of bonding with the child or children has been established.

This bill introduced by Senator Chapin Rose of the 51st District amends the Humane Care for Animals Act. This is another effort by the industry to shield their harmful and inhumane practices from the public and enforcement agencies. Ag-gag bills aren’t about silencing journalists and whistleblowers. They’re about curbing consumer access to information at a time when more and more Americans want to know where our food comes from and how it’s produced.

Next Tuesday (Feb. 26), a pivotal vote in the Senate could have a lasting and detrimental impact on the safety and security of our nation. On that day, former Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-NE) will again attempt to be confirmed as our nation's Secretary of Defense. Don't allow President Obama to pressure the Senate into accepting an unworthy and ill-equipped candidate for the Secretary of Defense -- a position that's vital to our nation's safety and security. .

Cubans are getting preferential treatment on the path to citizenship. Not only is this wrong, I believe that it is unconstitutional. I believe that even some of our more conservative friends may agree.

Everyone here in Michigan is affected. With many just barely making above minimum wage, why is the Gov. not doing something to lower it!! We live on a fixed income and at almost $4.00 per gallon, we cannot afford these prices. It is also winter so that means gas to heat our homes so we are all affected. You must help Michigan residents Governor!!

There was a vote on the Marriage Equality bill in the New Mexico House yesterday and two of our Democrat Representatives voted to kill it. Equality for all is the cornerstone of our country. Please let them know how disappointed you are in them.

CUNY child care programs serve over 1400 student parents and their children in 18 campus-based centers, and over 75% of these families are identified as being low-income. These families not only receive a high level of quality care and education through the CUNY child care programs, but many student parents receive financial support, provided through public funds, to enroll their children in campus-based centers. Thus the child care assistance enables many student parents find academic success while pursuing their higher degrees. Over the last several years CUNY Child Care has encountered multiple budget cuts, and this year alone we are facing a budget cut totaling $685,000. The loss of this crucial funding makes it difficult to maintain quality care and education each child and family needs, and also puts families at risk for losing access to these essential programs.
