For decades, WE THE PEOPLE have understood how we are being controlled by the fossil fuel providers of this planet. Why haven't more of us done something to stop the gasoline industry rip off? They don't get to hear about the alternatives. The small companies and foundations are prevented from raising enough backing by governments, like ours, that are too invested in oil to allow progress to limit their income, billions through gouging us at the pumps! now you have a chance to support a solution! http://www.blogger.comblogger.g?blogID=7067089276830432670#editor/target=post;postID=411348622711191843

The state of Ohio does not offer grants to start up a small business only loans and I think this should change

It's bad enough many Republican incumbents throw the middle class to the gutter. So do fake Democratic Progressives.

Seventeen states and the District of Columbia representing over a third of the U.S. population have legalized the use of marijuana when recommended by a physician, six states have marijuana initiatives on their November ballots and yet the candidates won't answer to the overwhelming support of the voters to answer on this topic.

I'm a veteran, I live in charleston south carolina, i'm also a single parent, disabled, and poor. I'm both sad and mad at the way society treats the poor especially veterans, being poor has not stopped me from living a life full of experiencess, friendships, laughter, and love. Being poor has no bearing on intellect, morals, courage, or honor.

The Republican party and Senator Jerry Moran blocked a program that would have given jobs to our veterans

Why not sell advertising on postage stamps, save the USPS, and keep the stamp rates from going up, up, up. I would just as soon look at the new cars or a soda can as a dead celebrity or a yellow bird.

You need to restore the medicare cuts as they are hurting the elderly.

We've recently heard from folks in South Dakota who are outraged that Senator John Thune voted to block a billion-dollar veteran jobs program and want him to explain why he abandoned our veterans despite their high rate of unemployment and homelessness. It sounds like MoveOn members would be interested in signi

END THE AFGHANISTAN WAR NOW. Protect our brave men and women from senseless death and wounds while proudly serving our country. There is no feel good patriotic win for the Afghanistan war. US fatalities: 2125. Coalition fatalities: 3190 as of 2012. Wounded data based on monthy reports from the Department of Defence: 10,369 as of February 2012 - iCasualties.org “This is the longest war in the history of the United States of America. The Afghani government is mostly corrupt. War in Afghanistan has tested the resolve, capabilities, and strength of the allied military forces. Moreover, our efforts at nation building have largely failed.” Congressman Jason Chaffetz, UT “After nearly 10 years of fighting, the progress in Afghanistan has been diminutive and alienated the peoples of Afghanistan. This failed strategy is not worth one more drop of American blood. I believe that if we are going to leave, we should leave; otherwise we are doing a great disservice to those soldiers who continue to fight and American families at home who will continue to suffer the loss of their loved ones. Furthermore, The current centralized government system and the regime of Hamid Karzai is hopelessly corrupt and not representative of the Afghan peoples.” Congressman Dana Rohrabacher, CA February 2012, I sent a letter to the President, signed by 87 bipartisan Members of Congress to accelerate the withdrawl of our troops from Afghanistan by the end of next year. "I believe it’s time to end this war and bring our brave servicemembers home." Congresswoman Lois Capps, CA "I can't find a whole lot right about what's happening in Afghanistan," Congressman Bill Young, FL “Our soldiers and their families shouldn't be the only ones sacrificing for these efforts, and that's a large part of why I will continue to push for the immediate return of our troops.” Congressman Chris Murphy, CT “Through fiscal year 2012, the United States has spent more than $549.5 billion, and the war effort will cost another $88 billion in fiscal year 2012.” A better solution is available — "to get our troops the hell out of there. The real solution, is staring us in the face." Congressman James P Moran, VA “At a time when we have so many of our own infrastructure needs and budgetary challenges here at home, we cannot afford to be in the business of nation-building in places like Afghanistan. “ Congressman John Carney, DE American soldiers are dying in Afghanistan on average 31 a month or one per day. Our brave men and women are not disposable commodities. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! Help us get them all home – Alive would be best – the sooner the better!

Indianapolis Power & Light, wants to keep this dirty and deadly coal plant operating for decades into the future. Worse yet, it wants my friends and family to contribute hundreds of millions of dollars in upgrades the plant needs to continue operating. Indianapolis Power & Light is expected to make a decision about the Harding Street plant soon. Let's make sure the company knows that Central Indiana residents don't want to pay more for electricity to extend the life of this dirty coal plant, which spews air pollution right into downtown Indianapolis. According to their own website, Indiana Power & Light calls itself "an industry leader in environmental stewardship;" and their website displays intentions of going green. But pollution from its Harding Street coal plant is not green. The clean air task force has estimated the pollution to cause 76 premature deaths, 120 heart attacks and 1,300 asthma attacks each year in Central Indiana. The EPA's Coal Waste Data sheet reports that the Harding Street Station now has two hazard ponds. According to the National Inventory of Dams (NID) criteria, “high” hazard coal ash ponds are categorized as such because their failure will likely cause loss of human life. "And if Indiana Power & Light moves forward with the costly plant upgrades it is considering, Indianapolis and surrounding areas we will be stuck with this dirty air pollution for decades." We can't allow that to happen."

There is no reason at all to be fighting in Afghanistan or elsewhere for that matter, and it is time to bring all our troops home - NOW. It will not happen without the wholehearted support off the people and the threat of impeachment. Also there are thousands of Foreign troops in the U.S. ready carry orders like gun confiscation, expressing views not in line with present mandates of the government. These troops have no qualms shooting us expressing ioinions.
