Property taxes in California are very high even though property value is around one third of what it was. This affects seniors the most being in a fixed income. Also the interest on unpaid taxes is 10% a month which is outrageous. We have not been able to pay our taxes and with 10% interest adding every month it makes it almost impossible to be able to catch up and we only have one more year before we loose our house.

I'm very concerned about what fracking does to water supplies, for we've seen many other examples of how it pollutes water supplies with very toxic chemicals.

I have a questions about the classification and sale of junk-mortgage securitized bonds sold in the period prior to the Great Recession. Did the bond-rating agencies commit securities fraud by wrongly classifying these bonds as AAA? Same question about the banks and brokers who knowingly sold these bonds as AAA when they knew they were misrepresenting them? Isn’t that securities fraud? If so why haven’t they been prosecuted?

All Dentists refuse to accept public assistance (aka MediCare, MediCal, Welfare Insurance, etc.) for necessary dental work, so many people without money but with a lot of dental pain cannot afford basic dental care. However, Dental Therapist are trained to do basic dental work at low tuition schools (IE: Community Colleges) AND will accept public welfare insurance.

Voter suppression is as real today as in the 1960's. Many seniors, college students and minorities will be affected by this issue. Laws like these can change the course of an election. We need your help now. The deadline: Lets get this to State Court Judge Roger Simpson before 1 October. Please help.

Promoters of products on television must adhere to truth in advertising regulations set up by the Federal Communications Commission. Why do political commercials get a free pass on this. The Romney campaign is pouring countless millions into misleading and untrue ads about how President Obama has "raided" billions from Medicare, when actually the adjustments made by the administration were to cut waste in the program and have no adverse effect on benefits for seniors. We demand that the Federal Communications Commission start fact checking the accuracy content of ads saturating the airwaves and hold "liars" accountable. Fines, obviously will have little impact but a website with a "liars list" could work wonders.

Right now we've got to stand up to what is outs clean air, water, and clean food! There is an atmospheric release of toxic chemicals is planned for New Mexico in a massive georngeneering experiment without your knowledge. We the people of New Mexico need to to take a firm stand and start asking serious questions: .why is this test happening in New Mexico? .Why did the state of NM approve this atmospheric experiment .Why were there no public hearings, public notification, consent or oversight? Where is David Keith's environmental impact report? .Why is Bill Gates asking for this project to be funded by taxpayers? . Why are the people of New Mexico being used as guinea pigs? We need to take action NOW and protect our drinking water, our air, our blue skies before it is too late. The choice is yours to make and your decision will impact your children, grandchildren, your health, and the earths ability to produce food and whether your water supply is fit to drink. Don't allow potential acid rains to destroy New Mexico. Go to www.agriculturaldefensecoalition.org (go to georngeneering sections and scroll and print out a petition.) And learn more about these experiments.

The petition is about the fact that Global Corporations like Sharp pay Mexican workers about a dollar an hour, $50.00 a weeks wages when it costs $35.00 just for food. This is immoral and must be stopped. In the US it's about the same. Service jobs are about $9.50 an hour when it costs about $15.00 an hour just to survive. This evil and wrong.

As an American who has been laid off now for the last 4 years with no end in sight to establishing sustainable jobs for approximately 24 millions Americans due to the Republicans/Tea Party in the House standing in the way of any economical growth in this country. We are calling on the Republicans/Tea Party to stop holding this country hostage. If they care about the American people and have our best interest at the core of their ideology work with the President and pass legislation that will create jobs instead of divisiviness among the American people. Create jobs now, not hot air and terrorism!

Don Siegelman has been a victim of Karl Rove and some district attorneys in Alabama. He was character assassinated, and injustly sent to jail for crimes he didn't commit.

This is about the constitutional right to vote for every citizen. The results of a close election can be tampered with by preventing people from voting. Key battleground states (Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania) with a large number of electoral votes are requiring voters to bring a photo ID to the polls. This is a REPUBLICAN, not a Democratic Party effort. They have already been successful in making this the law in these states, effectively disenfranchising certain groups of voters (minority poor, elderly, students) who could be crucial for President Obama to win a second term. This is the intent behind the laws, which purport to prevent voter fraud. There have been practically no instances of voter fraud, so this is a blatant attempt to tamper with the vote, which is illegal, undemocratic and un-American. Republicans should consider the implications if it were a Republican candidate up for election and Democrats were tampering with a free and fair election.

Students who are in debt to the tune of around 90,000.00. And there single mothers who stayed when dad left with girlfriend and knew if they went to Florida they were pretty sure would not be found and forced to pay child support. I was told by my lawyer in 1988 who was a politician the laws were made by men for men! This is a very long story but my youngest son was determined to get a education. He started going to college and working, getting grants until he was about 2 semesters away from his bachelors, there was no more help. I had no choice than to sighn for a private loan. Which at that time was about what Made in a year. Minimum wage didn't even count as poverty. It was below poverty. Now I 57 disabled drawing 622.00 a month for mortgage etc. hate the thought of dying with him owing his life to the filthy rich who cares about no one but there selves. I was not even told how or what to do if I ever mentioned college. I am pretty darn sure I won't be around as cosighner for that loan I had to sign to get my son enough time to get it started at around eight grand now he is paying it but I think it is around 13000 now. I don't know how to write a petition I would love to see something done about the criminals called other names at wal street and mega banks. I am drifting off to sleep but guess I just had to put my 2 cents in.
