The nation is tired of wasting both time and money in matters of government being obstructed by disgruntled legislators who's only objective is to hold the country hostage to their bitter objections and destructive agenda.

I was injured on Salt River Indian Reservation and immediately became aware of the very limited rights U S citizens have regarding protection on all Indian Reservations as they are protected by Native American Sovereignty, which really means they are a foreign country. Please write your elected officials and ask them to take action to enact laws to protect you while you are visiting Indian Reservations where you are not even always guaranteed payouts for jackpots.

Stop the obstruction of Chuck Hagel's nomination

Congress being on their job, it affects all Americans.

Without hesitation I will say that all of us will be adversely affected by those who fail to graduate from high school. Our State needs to correct the reasons that are preventing students from reaching their potential by not graduating from high school.

The MARC train is the only public transportation available to people to go to baltimore and the counties in between washington and baltimore on the weekends. It is very fast and convenient, should be made available to people on weekends as well as during the weekend. What during the week is a 20 minute trip for me to odenton takes about 2 hours on the weekend and someone has to pick me up at a very far bus stop in pointer ridge which is the only bus on weekends in anne arundel. Besides the PENN line the other Marc lines are just as important and should also be run on weekends.

Their is great concern from the public for the safety of tribal members on the Island and the future of the Police Dept. Robert Bryant (Chief of Police) has had numerous complaints filed against him from tribal and nontribal members.

As the father of four daughters I feel the time is now for us to look at reforming the "gun free zone".

My name is Vincent Pawlowski. I’m a a graduate student at the University of Arizona and father of two successful graduates of the public school system in Tucson, Arizona. I’m deeply concerned about the political attacks on quality, science-based teaching in Arizona public schools. Senate Bill (SB) 1213 is a direct assault on teaching the reality of climate science. The bill was introduced by climate denier Sen. Judy Burges. SB 1213 “encourages pupils to explore scientific questions, learn about scientific evidence, develop critical thinking skills and respond appropriately and respectfully to differences of opinion about controversial issues” including “biological evolution” and “global warming.” In other words, teachers would be allowed to present personal political or ideological belief, instead of the well-documented scientific truth. They try to make it sound innocuous, when in actuality the bill allows teachers to present personal political or ideological belief, instead of the well-documented scientific truth. The sponsor of the bill , Sen. Judy Buges, even admits to it saying she introduced SB 1213 to attack the teaching of the scientific fact of global warming. “It actually says in the textbooks that if you don’t believe in global change that you’re very misinformed,” Sen. Burges told the Arizona Daily Star. “There should be an opportunity for teachers to step up to the plate and give their opinion, if they have scientific proof, that it isn’t happening, that it’s a natural phenomena, without retribution.” Every major scientific institution in the world, including our own National Academy of Sciences, accepts the reality of human-caused global warming. It’s hitting the state of Arizona hard with 38% of the state facing severe droughts. Our children need to know about climate change because it literally puts them in danger and they will be the ones inheriting a world in which it is a stark reality. I appeal to my fellow parents, students, teachers, and concerned Arizonans: sign the petition to kill this climate denial bill in the Senate Education and Rules Committee and protect Arizona’s future. Thanks for your hard work, —Vince Pawlowski

Times Square's Marriott Marquis hotel sits on prime real estate in the heart of the city. But New Yorkers are on the hook for an unprecedented sweetheart deal worth more than $300 million. And that's the last thing hard working families in the city need, especially in these difficult times. Our city is supposed to work for all New Yorkers, not just the wealthy and well connected. We've seen one too many handouts for the rich. Let's get our priorities straight and focus our resources on getting New Yorkers back to work and rebuilding from the devastation of Hurricane Sandy.

"Fracking," defined empirically. The method of extracting natural gas from underground and the source of earthquakes, well and ground water contamination, open toxic waste pits, massive water consumption in a drought prone state, falling home values, vented airborne toxins and ozone depletion.
