Texas ranks dead last in health insurance coverage for working Texans. It is shameful to block funds made available by the United States Affordable Care Act.

Thanks to legislation passed by anti-choice lawmakers and supported by Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, Virginia is implementing burdensome and medically unnecessary Targeted Regulations of Abortion Providers (TRAP). The Virginia Board of Health took a courageous stand to amend the regulations to allow women's health clinics to remain open. Ken Cuccinelli is trying to veto the Board of Health and shut down women's health clinics, limiting the continued availability of safe, legal, first-trimester abortion throughout the state. Virginia's women's health centers provide vital health care services like STD screenings, cancer screenings and family planning services, in addition to providing legal and safe abortions. Shutting down these clinics would restrict access to essential services, particularly for young, low-income, uninsured, and minority women. Tell the Board of Health to stand up to Ken Cuccinelli's bullying and protect women's health centers and women's access to comprehensive health care services.

Our goverment is out of control because elected officials no longer consider the people of the United States as there employer. They now work for a convoluted web of special interest groups raising money for a never ending congressional career. If Congressmen could only stand for re-election twice - it would be very hard to create a web of power to funnel cash. If we reduced campaign donations to no more than $100 per individual with no room for corporate donations, elections would be about the issues instead of name calling and political skullduggery.

We have been hurt by giving our son our Retirement Fund, we are an example of middle class going poor.What is the Goverment thinks...

Begin to have some "truth in politics" by requiring candidates to have factual basis for their statements, or personally admit they were inaccurate. The public is bombarded with false and misleading political advertisements every election cycle. The 2012 election year will be rife with lies given the influx of Super PAC money. While it would be optimal to rein in all false/misleading advertisements made directly, or indirectly, by a presidential candidate, the first step is requiring candidates to ensure statements they make during debates are factual. Additionally, forcing candidates to recant their false/misleading statements live, in their own words, provides great incentive to ensure their statements are factual when initially spoken.

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.
