The recent news that she was told to lose weight is shocking. Not only is it insulting to the Lady, but it sends a message to all healthy, curvy women that they aren't good enough. It's an outrage that can only be stopped by showing that the public doesn't need everyone in the spotlight to be size zero. So sign this petition if you love Lady Gaga, yourself or anyone at all!

Please stop privatizing the work of the US Government and Our State Governments. The Post Office, jails and public schools need to be properly funded, and not made into profit making businesses that cost the tax payers much more. Privatization is much more costly, and inefficient. Also, Somehow private companies will cut too many corners and their administrators are the only ones who get the benefits.

The senate has been plagued for years with this pandering, two faced, flip flopping rich, out of touch liar that keeps acting as the ring leader of Republican obstructionism in the U.S. Senate. Arizona would have received many times more grants and money we needed to get employment stabilized and education improved but John McCain doesn't see any need for us to receive needed funding because he is doing just fine. When did being a U.S. Senator become a life time career? He has been involved in every financial downturn since the beginning of problems in the fifties, was a member of the Keating Five Scandal, was associated with the repeal of the Glass/Steagall Banking Act of 1933, that was put in place to prevent financial corruption like what happened with Wall Street again recently, continues to want more deregulation of all ethical standards, and truth be known, his record in the Navy previous to him getting his fifth plane (that was destroyed) shot down would have gotten anyone else thrown out with a dishonorable discharge but his dad and granddad being admirals kept him from receiving the same treatment. I would like to see him gone and someone who is progressive thinking and not older than dirt in the U.S. Senate to represent Arizona, my state.

On wednesday 26 September 2012 the Austin Peay State University (APSU) Office of Career Services will be hosting a Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) recruitment event on campus. The CIA has a history of recruiting students and professors to stop communism, giving students new job opportunities, as well as a long list of repeated stopping of terrorists. Activities such as these are very acceptable and will be tolerated at APSU. We are calling on the campus administration to uphold the student code of conduct and allow the CIA on our campus.

I sat in a church where the church leader told everyone whom to vote for or go to hell. Later that day I went to another fundamentalist church and heard the same sermon: vote for my man who tells me what to believe, or you will go to hell. Even tax exempt church, mosques and synagogues who have schools are telling students who to vote for and whom they can visit and if the parents do not vote in the religion's candidate, the family will go to hell. There is to be a wall separating state and church, but many churches are threatening their worshippers with going to hell if they do not vote for the church-approved candidate. This is unAmerican and violates the IRS code on exempt status actions.

no more inside trading privilages for politicians at all

In discussions with my friends and relatives, including Democrats, Republicans, and Independents, I have found a nearly universal agreement on one basic theme: Our elected officials are consistently playing partisan politics, rather than working together to solve the economic crisis. The reality of the political environment, however, is sufficiently balanced that neither party can impose its solutions without negotiation with the opposing party. That is, real progress on solving our economic problems will require cooperation and compromise. I am therefor asking the candidates for President and Vice President of both parties to begin now to lead their parties away from the counter-productive, contentious partisan politics of the recent past into a period of cooperative political leadership necessary to address the serious risks to our country’s and our individual well-being during the present world-wide economic turmoil.

Currently a county commisioner in Wyoming is elected at large. This allows unequal representation in several counties where the towns and cities have no representation and money is unequally spent. If districts are formed rather than at large people will be equally represented. It takes an act of the state legislature to insure equality.

I have personally been devastated by this issue. Toxic chemicals in new carpeting caused me permanent heart damage, excruciating fibromyalgia, central nervous system damage, neurological damage, and the list goes on and on. We need for Senator Harry Reid to bring this act to the floor of the Senate, said act introduced by Senator Frank Lautenberg of New Jersey. Cancer rates, asthma rates, you name it, chemicals are adversely effecting our air, water, land, homes, workplaces and contributes greatly each year to our ridiculous health care costs. Please contact your congressmen and senators to urge the passage of the Safe Chemicals Act.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services states that styrofoam can be "reasonably anticipated" to be carcinogenic.

Hi everyone who wants to preserve the trees and wilderness in Glen Canyon: Rec & Park is planning to remove the first 60 to 70 trees soon and has already posted 30 day notices, so the clock is ticking, with tree removal to begin after October 15th.

Advocacy of religious hatred via speech, print or video and film that constitutes incitement to hostility and violence should be declared a hate crime and should not be protected under freedom of speech rights. The importance of respecting all prophets and holy books, regardless of which religion they belong to is essential for peaceful coexistence of Humanity.
