In Europe Monsanto has publicly stated that food labeling has Monsanto’s full backing and that Monsanto fully supports food manufacturers and retailers in their introduction of labels on genetically engineered food in Europe. We request that the Monsanto Company look carefully at its own principles, code of conduct, and previous statements, and reconsider its position on the labeling of genetically engineered food in California. We believe that the respectful and ethical choice is for Monsanto to publicly endorse California’s PROPOSITION 37 - the November, 2012 ballot initiative to require labeling of genetically modified foods sold in California. Monsanto pledges on its website to demonstrate integrity, respect, ethical behavior, perspective and honesty in everything its employees, contractors and management do. Monsanto also pledges to provide extensive educational programs, and to “ensure that information is available, accessible, and understandable.” In the U.S. Monsanto continues to oppose the labeling of genetically engineered foods, even though it would indicate they contain Monsanto’s own products. Monsanto currently complies with labeling regulations in the European Union. Why is the U.S. different? Why does Monsanto hide from us what they readily provide to the people of Europe? People have a right to know what ingredients are in their food. Millions of people are concerned about genetically engineered food for reasons related to environment, health, and/or social issues, and want genetically engineered food to be labeled. As a matter of integrity their concerns should be respected. Current regulations in California and the U.S. do not require labeling of genetically engineered food. California’s Proposition 37 would require that genetically engineered food sold at retail in California be labeled. 970,000 signatures were gathered in California to place Prop 37 on the ballot. Many more consumers in California, the U.S. and the world want to be told if their food contains genetically modified ingredients. We call upon the Monsanto Company to endorse Proposition 37, the California Right to Know Initiative, that would require genetically engineered food to be labeled in retail food products in California.

New Federal Subsistence moose hunting in the Hope Alaska area is depleteing the small moose population tremendously. A moose was shot up Palmer Creek Road at 2:30 in the morning.(That is illegal)Last year only two of the 4 or 5 moose that were shot were legal. Of those that were illegal were two cow. Cows allways have @ least 2 calves. The hunters were caught but if 2 or 3 were caught how many others were shot and not caught poaching. Moose hunting in the Hope Area has not been legal for at least 20 years because the moose population cannot bare it.

The Facebook page, "Heterosexual Awareness Month", was established some time in June. It has consistently posted anti-GLBTQI* messages and images, and takes part in fear-mongering and demonising the Queer community. It is a gathering place for those that openly hate queer folk, and they are trying to forward their mission with t-shirts, pamphlets, and booths/tables in public places. They are a vehicle of hatred and need to be shut down.

With our Congressional leaders examining "We The People", entitlements,in this hardship economy , let us carefully examine their outlandish benefits...and make adjustments. Let our leaders have the same healthcare benefits as "We". Let them have the same Social Security benefits as us, not an inflated Retirement Program.

As a part of any new legislation regarding Social Security, Medicare or Medicaid, let's eliminate or modify existing health care and retirement benefits for all federal and state employees, including Executive, Legislative and Judicial and branches of government, as well as the military, and bring all federal and state employees into the same system to which the rest of us are entitled.

Former Alabama governor Seigleman and his family have suffered enough. Don's primary crime is being a popular Democrat in a republican state.

There are too many ways for companies to get your money without your permission. A law needs to be passed to protect the right of the individual to keep other hands off their money. Charges and or fees should not be charged to a payment system without at least a verbal, recorded authorization. The "grab the money" and let them fight us to get it back system needs to stop, and stop now. The people that are hurt by it the most are the ones that can afford it the least. NO MORE ASUMED MONEY GRABBING. "Hands OFF"

Nearly 700,000 Michigan citizens signed a petition to put the right to collectively bargain on the November ballot for a vote of the people. The petition was approved by the State Board of Canvassers in March. Now corporate special interests are attempting to silence the voice of working people by not even allowing a chance to vote on this important issue. Working people are facing cut after cut to their wages, health care benefits, retirement security and safety protections. The best way to fight these cuts is to protect the right of every worker to unite with one strong voice. We can't let corporate special interests hold our judges hostage. We deserve a chance to vote. - Ashley Forsberg, RN Sparrow Hospital in Lansing

I feel that the production of all types of deodorant urinal cakes and toilet deodorizers should be stopped and even made illegal. Deodorant urinal cakes are a huge source of pollution and it is forever changing earth's drinking water. If many huge warehouses are filled with urinal cakes, ALL of them are meant to be dissolved into our water sources. It's bad enough that we have to deal with detergent, bleach and waste petroleum in our water but urinal cakes are stupid because they promote covering up something that just needs to be cleaned up. Deodorant urinal cakes are in every drop of water that we drink and it's going to get much worse, soon. Please boycott the use and sale of these stupid pollutants and force these chemical companies to stop manufacturing these pointless chemical poisons for your toilets. This poison can not even be used safely in ANY way. Every single one is meant to be dissolved in our water. This is bad.

At a town hall last week, Joe Walsh said, "There is a radical strain of Islam in this country, it's not just over there, trying to kill Americans every week. It is a real threat, and it is a threat that is much more at home now than it was right after 9/11. It's here. It's in Elk Grove, it's in Addison, it's in Elgin, it's here.” Elected officials carry the weight of their office when they speak and they have a responsibility to choose their words wisely. Walsh’s hyperbole and extreme rhetoric isn’t just offensive–it creates a climate of danger and fear.
