Rep. Peter Defazio has consistently voted against an assault weapons ban and other gun control measures like handgun registration and trigger locks. The Newtown massacre should have finally shown this otherwise smart and liberal congressperson that it is time to act, and act decisively to protect all Americans from the onslaught of senseless violence that has taken so many lives, but it has not. Defazio will only say it is time to begin a "national dialogue" on violence. Let's tell him that this is not enough - and there will be a consequence if he does not take a strong lead in helping us to end gun violence.

Fight the far right's 24,000 signed petitions threatening CNN and Piers Morgan, with the purpose of deporting him

Piers Morgan expressed his views, a First Amendment Right. To acknowledge a petition to have him deported would be an egregious assault on that Right. Ignore it, please.

Social Security and Medicare are benefits for which we have paid. Please cut politicians salaries and benefits before you make more cuts to these programs. Congress should have medicare as their health insurance.

The world's most useful plant should be cultivated in Minnesota, for medical and other purposes. Some studies have even shown that marijuana may stop cancer! We should allow doctors and researchers to utilize this common weed.

Soils are degrading as a result of poor agricltural practices such as overuse, single crop agriculture, and over use of synthetic fertilizers. This will lead to a decrease in agricultural productivity at a time when there is an increase in the world's need for food. I may also lead to problem like the "dust bowl" and increased desertification.

To eliminate the lifetime special benefits to elected officials.

Please contact your local politicians and request a stricter gun control laws for our nations. How many more innocents have to die before we become responsible as a nation.

The Forrester Family is seeking relief from outdated and disproportionate immigration laws that have permanently banned Mr. Forrester from the United States for life, because of simple possession of marijuana. We believe that waivers should be available to spouses of U.S. citizens so that the past mistakes of the immigrant can be weighed against the hardship to the U.S. family if they are never allowed to come. Please sign our petition to Bring the Forrester Family Together. Our children need their father.

Ownership has privilege and the ownership of American media by 5 or 6 media monopolies has narrowly focused the attention of the TV and radio industry using our public airwaves on a small, thin population band of young white men between the ages of 18 and 25. Most of this media is right wing and attempts to have a more diverse political media have been reversed by large industry owners switching left or politically moderate radio talk stations into sports coverage only. At least four or five left wing talk stations on the West Coast have been switched to sports radio focusing on the 18-25 white male demographic by the industry monopolies who appear to have absolute ownership of our public airwaves. Women, minorities and those who hold political views that are not extreme right wing are shut out.
