The vitamin content of foods decreases significantly each day following the removal from their life source (e.g. the vine, the animal, etc.). Therefore, for products like juice, each day the product is in transit, and each day it remains on a store shelf before purchase, it is losing nutritional value. However, Nutritional Fact labeling does not reflect this reality: "Compliance with the nutrition labeling regulations is based on the date the product was labeled, not the date the product is offered for entry into interstate commerce." from the Nutritional Labeling and Education Act (NLEA) Requirements (8/94 - 2/95) This being the case, labels should include a disclaimer, such as: "This product will retain at least 95% of the listed nutritional values until the 'use by' date," or something similar. This way consumers will understand that these nutritional values are not static numbers, and that the products they buy may have a reduced nutritional value if they consume them after the 'use by' date.

We have now spent decades ducking the most serious issues facing our country and world. They include health, economy, jobs, taxes, election fairness and financing, gun control, "us-vs.-them" politics, labor, limits to states power and climate change. We need active vision and leadership to replace self-serving, short-sighted behavior.

Republicans want to require IDS to vote but will not show there tax returns

Charging a fee ($8.95/mo+) for over the air transmission and HD service to TV's bought with HD ready capabilities.

The entire country is in mourning because semi-automatic weapons were used to gun down many innocent people in a matter of seconds at the elementary school in Newtown, CT. The general public does not need these types of weapons to defend themselves or for hunting. At least pulling the trigger each time you want to fire a weapon might just save lives by giving others a chance to run or take cover. So people, are you with me on this?

Make gun ownership the same as getting a drivers license. The police will test you on gun safety ,and a psychologist will test for emotional stability. It won't prevent all crime, but it will make everyone aware of their resonsibility to their fellow man. Make this retroactive to current gun owners as well. If you have a gun, you must have a license to possess it.

We need to fund mental health so professionals can be more proactive and interactive with the mentally ill.

Let us have gun control. I am not personally affected.

Let's make sure Newtown, Connecticut tragedy never happens again.

Gun Control

The recent events in schools, shopping centers, public assemblies have once again shown that there needs to be a significant NATIONAL reigning in on the sale and possession of assault weapons AND the amount of munitions an individual may purchase. This is not about hunting or personal safety. It is about weapons that should be limited to combat situations: rapid fire, repeating fire assault weapons.

End NRA influence in our elections.
