Smart meters are bad for your health ( they use Electromagnetic Radiation like microwave and cell phones,but in a much higher concentration). Besides, it is not mandatory to have one. I refused to have a smart meter and still have my analog meter. I had to pay $75 as an "opt out" fee plus $10 each month in addition to my electrical bills. The fees are supposed to go up, may be double, in 2013.

We should approach gun ownership in the same way we handle automobile ownership- licencing and mandatory liability insurance because mistakes will happen like accidently killing over 3500 children a year- every year. The NRA should provide the insurance for the gun owner/gun and help them reduce accidental gun killings by better gun management.

When I was going to college, students had little experience, and even fewer options than to borrow excessively in order to fund their education. This created a slippery slope, as many feel that regardless of their major they are guaranteed jobs on the basis of having an undergraduate degree. With the present state of the economy, many are now leaving their passions behind and instead choosing in-demand professions, or working in sales or retail. History will look at America's decline much the same way it saw the decline of Ancient Rome, Medieval Italian city-states such as Venice and Florence, and even enlightenment France and Germany. It first arises with a decline of the artist class, where financial constraints of the state cause many to abandon the profession. After this follows morality, Faith, and general progress leading to decadence.

The current issue with the fiscal cliff and upcoming debt ceiling that needs to be resolved by the White House, Democrats and Republicans is causing major problems on Wall Street. The Federal government has had been extending these issues for years with no final solution. This is bad business for America and the American public deserves not just an another extension but a fair bi-partisan law to fix these problems once and for all. Stop this irresponsible political maneuvering and game playing.

I was banned from Walmart (by their "Security") due to giving witness statement to police about their treatment of an alleged shoplifter.

We must take a big step along with our many small ones. The United States Bill of Rights works well to protect our fundamental freedoms because it's enforceable in court. There is now an European Bill of Rights that is enforceable in the courts of 47 countries as diverse as Turkey, France, Romania and Denmark which also works well. It is time for an International Bill of Rights that is enforceable in the courts of all countries -- this is humanity's written agreement to live together. Please go to www.internationalbillofrights.org and sign the document!

C-CPI-U Legislation

There are too many persons wearing badges that feel They can break laws trespass and violate civil rights of citizens to make or facilitate an arrest with out warrant or due process of law. If the police are breaking the law and violating constitutional liberty's Are we all at risk of corrupt or unjust police actions. We were given rights as u.s. citizens to protect us from unlawful activities of police officers and state ,government and any other agency that feel they can harass us as they feel fit to do. Our constitution is there to protect WE THE PEOPLE. We need to stand up and get our rights of this God given country back.

Andrew Carl Beach, age 24, was murdered on July 20, 2012, through a depraved, conscious and wanton criminal act. The crime is deserving of prompt and aggressive prosecution seeking a sentence that is commensurate to the crime that resulted in Andrew's catastrophic, violent death.

Congress and it's staff members do not get paid or back pay until they come up with a complete answer to the "fiscal cliff"

Maybe I am crazy! But if I did'nt do my job, I would'nt have one. It has taken how long to get nowhere? And how much does he make a year? I can't believe people in this country are'nt outraged. As it is now I have two jobs to try to make ends meet. These people have no idea how the middle class struggles. Time to find other employment Mr. Boehner!!!!!!!

The US Congress and the White House set-up a series of tax cuts and budget adjustments that would go into effect on or about January 1, 2013. As we approach that date, both "leadership" bodies have FAILED to LEAD and would rather talk about ideology vs. create "wise" solutions to this issue.
