Chris Culliver has apologized for his demeaning, homophobic remarks. Now I'm asking him to put his money where his mouth is and donate his Super Bowl bonus to Bay Area organizations that work with LGBT youth. Chris Culliver can turn hurtful remarks into helpful action by making this donation. Please join me in calling on him to do this. Elizabeth Wahl

By some estimates, more civilians, including many children, have now been killed by Obama's drone strikes than the number of people who died on September 11, 2001. U.S. drones are used for assassination without trial or oversight by any other branch of our government, and have been used to assassinate U.S. citizens as well as anyone else the Obama administration decides to target. Even John Wilkes Booth was given a trial.

Medicaid (MCD) expansion is covered 100% by Federal Govt from 2014-2016. Over 1 million Floridians would benefit and live longer, healthier lives. Over $20B in federal funding and 56000 jobs would come into Florida. MCD expansion is a win- win for Florida.

Anyone, public or private, profiting from people's imprisonment in any way (from prison work, etc.) is completely immoral and should be illegal. That anyone can profit from people being in prison (through companies like Prison Blues, and many others) encourages people who can profit to put people in prison and keep them there for as long as possible. Prison profit is a multi-billion dollar business, and is booming in California.

AT their current wages this will allow them to be paid $2,500.00 us bucks for each day worked. Why haven't they taken the pay cuts most middle class people have rrecieved over the last serveral years

The South Dakota voters have shown not once, but TWICE, that we support a woman's right to choose what is right for her body in regard to pregnancy, yet bills keep being introduced in attempt to ban or limit abortion. The newest is an attempt to remove holidays and weekends from the "eligible days" of the already absurd 72-hour waiting period before a woman can obtain an abortion. This makes the procedure nearly impossible to schedule, as there is only one clinic in the state that performs abortions. The legislators need to stop wasting taxpayer time, money, and resources in this endless battle that has already been fought and defeated.......TWICE. Stop stifling the voice of the voters, and accept what we are telling you: South Dakota is a pro-choice state and wants to remain that way!

You've already gerrymandered the districts at the state level to safely keep seats for your party intact and ensure wins in the state legislature and in the House of Representatives in DC but now are planning to win the 2016 Presidential elections the same way via redistricting the maps in WI, OH, PA, FL, MI, VA which are all controlled by gop legislatures and went to President Obama. In WI and PA, state reps openly admitted that Voter ID laws "would have made it easier to give the election to his opponent but in WI where we do not have Voter ID yet, that d/n happen and in PA where they DO, it d/n happen either so all these states are looking at now changing the district maps of the EC after almost 20 years!!! CHEATING!!!

As someone who is on SSD and has Medicare supplementary due to medical disability, I simply, along with millions of Americans who rely on our social safety nets for our very existence ,not to mention SS does not add ONE DIME to the deficit, STOP PUNISHING US!!! I have to take NINE RX medications a month to live and as it is, paying for my meds a month before our commercial insurance ded/coins is satisfied for other medical expenses, bills to keep our household basics and mortgage paid, we're always broke before the next payday. Without my SSD and MC, we'll lose our home!!! Cut the deficit on someone else's backs for a change!!!

NC Gov. McCrory says he wants to "change the basic formula and how education money is given out to our universities and our community colleges, not based on how many butts in seats but how many of those butts can get jobs." This would clearly affect a student's ability to follow their dream and will give NC too much control over their education and future. This would limit a person's ability to pursue basic happiness in a career by eliminating funding for majors in fields such as Gender Studies, English, Art, Dance etc. Tell him NO!!!

Debate is raging over next steps for immigration reform. One thing we know for sure is that something must be done. Working families are answering the call and taking the lead to make sure a roadmap to citizenship for 11 million aspiring citizens is included in any agreement. Immigrants aspiring to be citizens are Americans in all but paperwork. It’s time we modernized our immigration laws to catch up to that reality. It’s time to win citizenship for all, and it starts with your name right now.

In a nation that is continually working to eradicate bigotry and inequality, comments such as those made by Lauderdale County High School Head Football Coach Bob Grisham in the public classroom about LGBT Americans and the First Lady should not be tolerated. A coach's and instructor's influence is key to the shaping of a young person's world views and character- Grisham's comments do not reflect character that will advance our nation's youth. We must send a message to our public employees that we stopped tolerating this type of bigoted speech 50 years ago.
