Charge a extraction fee for all raw oil that's pumped and make it so that fee doesn't get passed onto consumers. This could also include natural gas that is brought to surface. Maybe way to check fracking.

Nafta has backfired on us and it's time to pull the plug. Let other Countries worry about their own economy and we will do the same. It was designed for a specific purpose and it hasn't worked for that purpose for us.

My family has waited 13 years and counting to come into the country, legally. And with retrogression, the backlog might only get longer. Millions of people, especially those of Mexico and the Phillipines, live in the hope of being reunited with family, and sometimes die in despair without their dream coming true. In his inaugural address, President Obama made it known that Immigration reform will be a priority for 2013, for the illegal immigrants. Powell Job's launched a website for undocumented immigrants, the Dream Act. But how about for those who have been seperated for months, years, or even decades due to immigration backlogs? The ones who have been patiently waiting to come into the country legally. Shouldn't waiting to get into the country legally be more rewarded? We need Immigration reform to unite families who have been forced to live apart for 5,10 or even 20 years due to backlogs! We need the government to focus on these individuals as well.

New Mexico has the highest accidental drug overdose rates in the country. Often people become addicted because of musculoskeletal pain that could have been treated successfully with physical medicine. Copay amounts for doctors of chiropractic (DC), physical therapy(PT), and occupational therapy(OT) are too high. This discourages patients from seeking conservative treatment first and causes them to resort to utilizing opioid drugs and surgery more often. The “Health Practitioner Cost-Sharing Rates” bill helps patients by reducing the copayment amount for a visit to a DC, PT, and OT to that of a primary care physician.

We demand that the state support of this horror be stopped immediately. For more information go to www.restorethedelta.org

If someone under the age of 18 commits a sex crime, they are put on the registry and no one will hire them or rent to them. They become disabled at a very young age and remain that way for the rest of their lives.

If portions of Act 10 wasn't seen as an obvious political move to defund the political opposition, changing the way Wisconsin counts the Electoral College votes will make it clear to this sophisticated electorate that Walker is at it again.

I belive that competition amounst the cable tv providers would bring the high cost cable tv and internet down to a more reasonable price. Currently I have Mertrocast Cablevision. I wish that I could get connected to Comcast. If there can be competion for electricity, then I think the same should happen for phone and cable tv.

President Carter put Solar Panels on the Roof of the White House to show support for alternative energy. President Reagan took it down as a symbol of his non-support of clean energy.

100 million Americans above the age of 20 did not vote in the election this year. let us take control of Our Government by sending them the message we should have sent them 30 years ago. Our Country is Our Country and our elected Officials have NO Right to give amnesty to people who will hold duo citizenship, break our laws, steal from our tax money. Let USA IMPEACH these elected officials who ignore our constitution, their duty to protect Us and their duty to follow OUR laws. IMPEACH THEM NOW or REMOVE THEM FROM OFFICE NOW.
