Demand for early voting on weekends.

The Republican leadership of Ohio, in a very partisan move, have restricted the early voting hours this election year to 8-5 M-F, effectively making this a useless option for most working voters. Please join me in petitioning Secretary of State Jon Husted, who is responsible for this attempt to discourage voters, to shift their staff to provide broader hours of operation. I'm almost certain that they could adjust people's schedules to allow evening and weekend voting without increasing expenses, if they were only willing to be creative instead of obstructive. It should be easy for all Ohioans to vote, not just those who are wealthy and powerful enough to choose their own daily schedules.

Secretary of State Jon Husted is limiting the rights of Ohio citizens by not allowing weekend early voting throughout the state. Elected officials like Representative Johnson should show that they represent the people of their districts and not their political parties or special interests, and demand that Husted open up weekend voting to all Ohioans.

Why should earely voting be suppressed? What is it that anyone could fear? A result they may not like?

We saw last term now the Republicans stifled every good idea with the fillibuster. That can change if Harry Reid announces that all issues will be decided on by a simple majority. He didn't do it 4 years ago and see what happened. Let's remind him again, and again.

I think that the Government needs to lower the prices of the insurance premiums for drivers and also the price they charge to renew plates(small pieces of paper). Yes I have been affected by these outrageous amounts. I have been driving for over 50 years and have a Perfect Driving Record, and this is the first time I have not been able to get Insurance or plates because of the prices required. I think it is a shame how the people ar getting robbed.

On March 26th, 2012 my Daughter in Law who was 6 months pregnant was killed in an auto accident. The lady who caused this accident that devastated our family walked away with 2 Misdemeanors, 1 for Careless and Imprudent and the other crossing the center line. This lady should have faced Involuntary Manslaughter and lost her drivers license at the least. She received a fine and 48 hours in jail and Our family was left broken,a mother to suffer, a young husband losing his soulmate, her 3 year old daughter left without her mommy. This law needs to be reviewed so that people who are careless have to face up to their actions and hopefully learn from it so there will be a change and no other family will suffer the way we have.

We all deserve to know what's in the food we eat. GMO testing has raised substantial evidence that consuming GMO's causes major health problems. We have the right to know what we're feeding our families.

All workers should be able to join unions

I am an American woman with two daughters and a uterus which I have exercised private control over my entire life. As states erode women's right to choice, I call on my representatives and neighbors to buy back our sole and exclusive claims to the uterus for a symbolic penny. I no more abdicate my rights to self determination of this organ than to any part of myself.

My husband served 22 years in the National Guard and every year when "Veteran's Day" comes around he has to go to work because his work place does not observe this holiday, while I see friends and neighbors who never served a day in their life in the military get the day off. This seems to be an injustice to all of the men and women who have given so much of their time and their families that have given up much of their time with their (spouse, father, mother, etc..) while they served. I remember my children and I spending many holidays, birthdays, etc.. (without their father, my husband) while he was activated to take care of blizzards, floods, etc.. Only to not be allowed to enjoy Veteran's Day off from work that he so deserves and if he wants to get that day off he has to take a vacation day, which is not right! It's an insult! With your help maybe we can get this changed so that men & women who have served in any military be allowed to get the day off that they deserve. This is the least we can do to thank those who have given so much of their time, that have been there to help so many during disasters and emergencies and so that we can have and enjoy our freedom. Thank you!

Pennsylvania's Voter ID/Voter Suppression Law was put on hold by a temporary injunction granted by Commonwealth Court Judge Robert Simpson. This is only a temporary injunction, stopping its implementation for the 2012 election. Now we need to repeal this anti-democracy bill for 2013 and beyond. Send your message to Gov. Corbett and your state representative and senator urging repeal.
