For the love of all that is right and just in this world, Jim Lehrer cannot moderate another debate. We need a moderator with guts. Someone who can hold his own. We need James Carville

Governor Mitt Romney practiced bullying tactics during the first presidential debate. He cut off the moderator, Jim Lehrer, and the President himself. The Commission on Presidential Debates needs to enforce their own rules on debates.

We are parents who believe that any new Boston Public Schools assignment process must provide children in every neighborhood with equitable access to a quality school.

During political debates I have trouble figuring what candidates are giving for answers. The biggest problem is remembering what the question was as the candidates drone on. All video broadcasters of political debates should display the text of the ACTUAL question asked during the answer period.

denial of early voting on weekend

Some Navy veterans say they feel like they have been stabbed in the back. Others returned their medals. Of the 400,000 Vietnam Navy veterans sick from Agent Orange in 2008, many doubted they would live long enough to get their medical benefits but wanted to fight anyway because they didn't want their sons and daughters who recently served in Iraq to go through the same thing. The problem started in 2002 when the Veterans Administration limited coverage of Agent Orange exposure to "boots on the ground." How many of the Navy Vietnam veteran Agent Orange survivors alive today will suffer and die from this neglect? The Blue Water Navy Bill HR 3612 was introduced to the US House of Representatives by Democrat US Congressman Lloyd Doggett and 3 other congressmen in Dec of 2011 after a study came out that proved these AMERICANS who served off the coast of Vietnam (and thus did not have "boots on the ground") were exposed to this harmful chemical. Now this bill has over 123 co-sponsors. However, Republican House Speaker, John Boehner, will not bring it up for a vote. A news investigation that aired on Sept 17 2008, ([email protected] ) revealed over 400,000 Navy veterans who served off the coast of Vietnam were dying from exposure to Agent Orange but are not eligible for receiving Veteran medical benefits. This report also referred to a study by the Centers for Disease Control showing cancer incidence rates are actually higher in sailors who served in the Navy than soldiers with boots on the ground during Vietnam. The seawater treatment system on the Navy vessels off the coast of Vietnam did not remove the high levels of Agent Orange. Navy veterans drank, cooked food, bathed, and washed their clothes in water tainted with harmful levels of Agent Orange.

We need your help to reinstate early voting and weekend voting in Ohio! To preserve our right to vote, we need to ensure everyone can before election day.

Yes, equality in the type of health insurances, retirement benefits, etc. for all Americans, which iINCLUDES members of Congress......think of all the savings to the public.....this would take a lot of publicity and push to get it through but if there is enough pressure exerted and the public demand is great, who knows, maybe it could happen....some members may rally to the cause!

four years ago i was paralyzed and hospitalized for 3 weeks. my doctor now suspects that my overuse of diet products, sodas, sweets, sweet and low, etc., led to the paralysis. there is evidence that these artificial sweeteners attack your nerve endings and also make leisions in your brain. i worked very hard with my physical therapist and was finally able to use a wheelchair, walker and now still have to use a cane. originally i had absolutely NO FEELING from my bust down to my toes (couldn't move at all, not even wriggling my toes). i have regained a little feeling, but still have neuropathy from my knees down to my toes. it is a very painful disease to live with and very debilitating. there is no guarantee that i will ever get better, and worse, my doctor said i could have another episode and maybe this time i wouldn't regain ANY feeling!!! my cardiologist said i have permanent damage to my heart, most likely from a stroke that they think i suffered at the same time. there is a group, headed up my mrs. betty martini, that is working very hard to eliminating this chemical from all our foods. this is a very serious problem for all humans!!!

I urge the citizens of Idaho to get behind free public education for all students kindergarten through the twelfth grade. Our state constitution says that elementary and secondary education is free but many parents in many parts of the state are paying fees to send their children to school. I thought our property and income taxes paid for public education.

This petition is about the use or non use of taxpayers dollars being used wisely by Mississippi County Commissioners. It affects all in many ways. Our safety, the protection of loved ones, our property. Protection is important to us!!!

REMOVE MONSANTO LAWYER MICHAEL TAYLOR AS COMISSIONER OF FDA. To be delivered to: President Barack Obama Most of us know that GMOs are bad for our health. We are trying to get things labeled as GMO, but it's in the hands of the FDA to enforce this! The FDA Commissioner was the lawyer for Monsanto! As long as this man is within Obama's administration, all food issues are going to be denied or ignored. I believe Obama cares about the health of the people. Michelle put in an organic garden for his family. I think he needs the support of the people to take down this giant. We need to demand that he ask Michael Taylor to step down now!
