I'm a NJ resident without gas because of Hurricane Sandy. The lines for gas are miles long in NJ and NY. It is time for BIG OIL to have the backs of their neighbors in NJ and NY to get us through this diaster. Additionally, Big Oil should pay for generators at every gas station to keep gas flowing during a crisis.

Many people are concerned about the effects of hydraulic fracturing on water supplies and the water table in the geographic areas where fracturing is conducted. Executives and PR folks and captive scientists of those companies doing "fracking" insist that it is harmless. They should prove it by consuming exclusively the same water that the people where they conduct their operations are forced to consume. If it's safe, they won't mind. If they object, we can ask why. If they won't say, deny the permit. If they won't do it, or stop doing it, or evade the requirement, suspend the permit immediately. Problem solved.

Since approved by Pres. Bill Clinton, N.A.F.T.A. and other trade agreements have cost America millions of good paying manufacturing jobs.

Politicians and every one in Authority should be held at a higher standard. God tells us in His Word to RESPECT those in AUTHORITY, therefore, they need to be held accountable for the lies that they tell. The lies that they tell can and often do affect people less fortunate.

In the wake of Hurricane Sandy and its aftermath, many voters will find it challenging or impossible to get to the polls on Tuesday.

As a consequence to the devastation caused by Hurricane Sandy, not everyone who is eligible to vote on Tuesday is going to be able to vote. This is an urgent matter to be addressed immediately -- before it is too late. We are affected as individuals, families and members of communities which have all been affected by the hurricane. It is likely that residents of areas that are without power will not have power back before Tuesday and therefore, will not be able to cast their ballots. Many are not in their homes and are not in proximity to their voting stations. In addition, it is likely that polling stations are not fully functional as a result of the devastation to many places along the Eastern Seaboard. Moreover, at this point in time, many people do not have enough gasoline to drive to the polling stations. It is imperative that everyone have an equal opportunity to vote. With lives as compromised as they are now, alternative arrangements must be made for those who are not able to vote on Tuesday.

Every year the president pardons a pair of turkeys on Thanksgiving and then sits down to a large meal including turkey for dinner. End this hypocrisy by urging the Obama family to set the right example for American by eating an all vegan meal on Thanksgiving. As a country the United States continues to become more obese, and have some of the highest rates of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, breast and prostate cancer, and osteoporosis in the world despite having some of the best medical technology. All of these health issues have been found to be related to the consumption of animal protein in our diet. Many of these can be prevented and some even reversed with a vegan diet. The Obama family can set the tone for lower medical costs and better health in America by consuming a compassionate all vegan Thanksgiving dinner. Please join me in asking the Obama family to have an all vegan Thanksgiving dinner.

We have suffered wage stagnation too long - we've exhausted ourselves working long hours & multiple jobs. We've allowed too many of our jobs to be sent to other lower wage economies. we are beyond the limits of human possibility. Workers ought to have a say in EVERY business in our country - it's not socialism - it's common sense and the Christian thing to do - "all are equal in the eyes of God".

33 years ago the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) was created to provide quality educational programming to the American people; they have done so with many award winning series (see links below). Unfortunately, many of their best programs are no longer available, or are only accessible via commercial DVDs or streaming, which make them inaccessible to low-income & bandwidth-limited schools & families most in need of what PBS has to offer. Today their federal funding is under threat; we're asking PBS, as a public service, to release medium-resolution subtitled versions of their past programming to download, distribute, & display for non-commercial purposes, so that everyone can make use of this great public resource, & appreciate what public broadcasting has to offer.
