A 22-year-old U.S. Army private was raped at a military base in Afghanistan and became pregnant. But military insurance does not cover pregnancy termination in case of rape—it's only covered if the pregnancy is life-threatening. So she had to raise the money and take personal time off to travel all the way back to the United States to have the procedure. Her mother, who was living on a fixed, low income, was her only financial support.

The Harnett County shelter used to have a program in which 501(c)3 animal rescues could adopt from the shelter on Tuesdays without paying the $25 pull fee. This was an incredible service to offer so that rescues could claim unwanted pets before the Wednesday euthanasia deadline. Some rescues will take several animals at a time, but that adds up to hundreds of dollars that is better spent on food, shelter, and rehabilitation. Harnett county has a high influx of unwanted animals that the shelter is unable to manage. The Rescue Me Tuesday program ensured that every animal possible avoided an untimely end from euthanasia. It is an opportunity for the burden of the shelter to be shouldered by volunteers in the area. And reviving the program sends a good message to Harnett County residents that the shelter is rescue-friendly and they care about animals! We need a good number of Harnett County residents and animal-lovers from the surrounding area to sign this petition encouraging Harnett County to bring the program back.

I am a small scale farmer in Sullivan County. I would like to legally preserve and sell direct to customers the foods that I don’t sell fresh. Currently I would have to use a certified kitchen do this. A certified kitchen is expensive to build or rent. When food is preserved with a ph. of 4.6 or less there is almost no chance of pathogens surviving the preserving process. Selling preserved foods direct to the customer at farm stands or farmers markets would benefit the farmer and customer by providing value added products for the farmer and providing local healthy less expensive food alternatives.

When candidates accuse each other of lying, I am left confused. How can I possibly feel confident in choosing a candidate in the midst of such a climate? Lying to constituents should be considered election fraud. Candidates and their backers should make statements based only on facts and be able to support their claims. There is too much at stake to allow them to be able to create the impression they want by misinforming voters.

Bank of America has permitted unauthorized use of a personal line of credit by the holder's ex-wife during a divorce. After years of trying to resolve this, while making payments to protect their own credit score, the account holder has been denied any reasonible remedy. Bank of America will foreclose after as little as one late payment, so should they not be held accountable for their own mistakes?

Since we are supposed to be a democracy, why can't we vote to have casinos to benefit our country, state, social security, medicare, national debt, etc. It would solve a lot of problems.

I am tired of all of the bickering & hate that has stalemated the government in DC. The corporate $'s have 'poluted' the Democratic process - as our Founding Fathers originally intended. Are we meant to be subserviant to Oligarchs or Corporations? The 21st Century Dilemma. It is time for a discussions about REAL change.
