Lithium Ion batteries are subject to thermal runaway which can cause them to blow up or vent toxic gasses. The explosion is not the only threat. The electrolyte in these batteries is LiPF6 (lithium Hexafluoraphoshate). These batteries have no toxicity warning on them. Thermal runaway of LiPF6 releases it's fluoride ions into the air where it reacts and bonds with Hydrogen creating Hydrogen Fluoride (HF). Hazard Summary : Toxic by inhalation, in contact with skin and if swallowed. Extremely corrosive and destructive to tissue. Specialized medical treatment is required for all exposures. May be fatal if inhaled, absorbed through skin, or swallowed. The EPA labels fluoride as more toxic than lead and slightly less toxic than Arsenic. These manufacturers keep this information suppressed in order to maintain profit and because the FCC doesn't require them to label the threat. I don't know about anyone else, but I like to know what threats lurk in my home. So let's tell the FCC that we have the right to know what is being sold to us and label it.

Our public officials have become some of our biggest problems and always seem to forget what they were elected to do. They seem to think that once elected,they are entitled to a free ride for life.

Foreign Aid goes for more grants to people overseas from our government than the people that pay the tax money to fund them. We are facing a fiscal cliff and are funding other countries. We continue to fund other countries that want to kill us. THIS mismanagement MUST STOP NOW!!!! .

Ford, Fiat, Honda, Hyundai, Toyota, VW,et. al. are merely biding their time with compliance measures, and absolutely are not moving fast enough. Perhaps deliberately. Perhaps they do not understand the imperative of a collapsing Arctic at an ever-accelerating rate. Or the trillions of global dollars funneled to hostile forces. So we, the American Consumer, must take up that slack to accelerate mass production and beat our President's target goal of 1M EVs on the road by 2015.The sooner we kill Big Oil, the sooner we can break through to a new economy and the future It has withheld from us until now.

Pension and retirement safety and equality for all Americans!

I am a physician and my husband is a lawyer. We have been blessed with good jobs. However, we know that all Americans are not so lucky. I have nephews and nieces who work very hard and barely can make their payments each month. We must maintain our social safety net. There is more to life and humanity than making millions.

After Sandy, hundreds thousands of people whose phone service is dependent on digital fiber-optic cables powered by electricity were cut off, and many cell phone towers were not functional, yet Verizon and AT & T are determined to stop offering and servicing the older, but more reliable "copper" service which has its own power source and is less likely to be affected by storms. Being without phone service poses a serious health and safety risk. The phone companies are public utilities whose priority should be to serve the public and not merely to enhance their already huge profits.

We feel we pay more than our share of taxes.

These are amazing animals and killing them is wrong.We need to educate the farmers and the Legislature.

Farriers should be required by law to get licensed to shoe horses.

Tax only the Rich of Their Income, Their Capital Gains, & Their Inheritances!

Republicans want to raise the eligibility age for Medicare. Reducing eligibility for Medicare is a step in the wrong direction, moving away from universal health care. We can continue providing quality health care for all eligible seniors for decades to come by merely raising the Medicare tax from 1.45% of earnings to 2%. This tiny tax increase (about $250 per year for the median American family) will increase the resources of the Medicare program by 1/3.
