Independance from oil, paritcularly imported oil, is vital for strategic political reasons as well ass environmental reasons and can help to be acieved by mass transport.

What does it say about the state of our water supplies and local political power structures when the public is compelled to accept water fluoridation amid persistent controversy? Are you ingesting fluoridated water – or do you live in the areas of Portland where residents may soon be railroaded by city government into having toxic fluoride added to your water supply? You might care to be informed beyond hype, propaganda, “science”, conspiracy theory or special interests. As is so often the case; follow the money. And you will also follow controversy. But the upshot is becoming; do our public servants have the right to compel the public to ingest fluoride – or any other such controversial ingredient dumped wholesale into your water supply? Some articles of opposition to water fluoridation have already been removed from the web. Other of those whose opposition squares off directly with those who seem to feel they have the right to impose their own propaganda or “science” have vilified documented research proving that fluoride is indeed a toxin.

Apply all of the truth in advertising laws to political campaigns and make it illegal to present lies or any other distortion as fact.

The Congressional members should have the SAME retirement and/or social security benefits as working class Americans!

It is ludicrous to impose term limits on the executive level of government and not to impose the same limits upon other elected officials This is a petition to limit publicly elected officials to two terms in each office at the federal and state level. Becoming a senator should not be a life-long career for any persons. Rather a honor and duty which one has the possibility to fulfill. Being elected to represent the public is an honor not a career path. What power will a filibuster have if that official only has 2 terms MAXIMUM to serve in any specifically elected office. Keep the public sphere public and end career politicians. This is the USA not ancient Rome. New voices are integral to the success of the democratic/republic process Perhaps this will be incentive for less greed in this branch, perhaps it will be more. But this is a strong message from the people. You have limits now.

I am sick and tired of Congress not working together to solve the problems of the country. The Republicans are trying to make the president fail and are just voting on a party line. We the people need to unite and remind them that they need to do what is right for the country. I hope both Republicans and Democrats will join me in expressing outrage at the behavior of our supposed representatives of the people.

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
