Americans have the right to know if the produce we are buying is GMO, also if the animals who provide the meat and milk and eggs we purchase have been fed with GMOs, and if the frozen, canned and boxed convenience foods have been prepared with GMO foods.

Durango CO is the process of bringing yet another smoking ban to bars and resturants in the city. The new ban would extend to smoking patios that many businesses in the area have. Many businsess spent money to build smoking areas when the first ban went into affect in 2006. This banned smoking inside workplaces, including bars and resturants, and you are no longer allowed to smoke within 15ft of the main enterance of a business. This new ban, that goes before City Council Oct. 16, has been lumped in with banning smoking in public parks and on the river trail. At the very least the issues need to be separated. Let the City do what they will with their property (parks, trails, etc.) but let the businesses determine what is best for them.

Most states have "usury" laws that limit the maximum interest rates that consumers can be charged for consumer transactions. However, due to a law originally passed in 1863, credit card companies can get around this law by simply incorporating in states such as Delaware- which have no limits on the interest rates that can be charged- and "exporting" whatever interest rate they wish to charge to anywhere in the country. This law should now be reprealed and local "usury" laws should set the maximum amount that consumers can be charged by the credit card companies.

Consider: Congressman Paul Broun (R-Ga.), a high-ranking member of the House Science Committee believes and espouses that the earth is only about 9,000 years old, despite proof to the contrary. Congressman Todd Akin (R-Mo), a member of the same House Science Committee, believes and espouses that a woman cannot get pregnant as a result of a "legitimate rape." Is it any wonder that the U.S. educational system is lagging in the sciences when compared with the rest of the developed world? Our policy-makers do not have the right to drag down our schools via their willful ignorance grounded in religion and wishful thinking. Our nation's future lies in the balance.

One of the biggest sources of corruption in today's politicians is their "lifetime legislator" status. Their focus becomes more on being re-elected term after term than serving for say 6-8 years then going back to their regular life. For many years serving in this capacity was volunteer work, not a career; it should go back to that.

Food that is or contains should be labeled. First, we have the right to know Then let the public decide via the market. Third, Candidate Obama promised thAt he would require gmo labeling.

Our politicians have been held hostage by the NRA for too many years. In the reflection of so many horrible gun massacres, it is unconscionable that we still legalize the ownership of assault weapons. Several years ago a study was made which proved that there are many more accidental deaths resulting from gun ownership than if they were limited. The NRA has successfully blackmailed most legislators, whether Democrat or Republican, from restricting the sale of assault weapons. What possible reason is there for ownership of these? To protect yourself or your property, if you feel you must, there is no reason to own anything more killing than a handgun.

Romney was a failure as governor because he increased the state's debt, made the state 47th in job creation, increased fees instead of taxes and ridiculed the state in speeches around the country while still governor.

Almost 300 Senators and Representatives have signed the "Taxpayers Protection Pledge" begun by Grover Norquist. It leaves no room for compromise on federal taxation and loopholes in order to reduce the debt and avert the impending financial cliff. We voters pledge that we will only vote for candidates who take a pledge to put the needs of the country above rigid ideology and reelection concerns. Candidates take notice: if you are unwilling to engage in the democratic process, including reasonable compromise, you will not get our votes. On this we will not compromise.
