Let's fight against obesity and diabetes, by taking the corn syrup out of a lunch that some children eat ever day!

With budget cuts to mental health care services, schools have begun the practice of pressing charges against special needs children for behavior directly related to their disabilities instead of offering required services and following educational federal mandates to practice a manifestation determination. My 11 year old son now has a criminal record for the school's derelict actions in responding to his specific disability. This is the second school to respond to my son's disabilities, not by offering appropriate services, but by criminalizing him and pressing charges for non-injury incidents. Bullying triggered my son's disability and his inappropriate responses were his reactions to provocations. None of my son's actions resulted in anyone needing a band-aid nor even a trip to see a school nurse(or any medical attention). Stop adjudicating special needs children for actions directly relating to their disabilities. Fund mental health care services, now.

I would like to see the Democratic National Committee or any democratic PAC, to use some of the advertising dollars, which in my opinion are a waste, to assist low income individuals with the funds necessary to obtain a state identification card. Many of the low income and elderly cannot afford the small fee, nor do they have the transporation to get to their applicable state offices to obtain the ID. Helping democrats DIRECTLY is more cost efficient than a TV ad which most people are immuned to at this point.

Congress wants to cut costs. They can do this easily by cutting the number of members in congressin half.That will reduce the cost of the house by half and cut the staffs that work for congress

Creating separate National Holidays to both register to vote and for voting day.

Free speech is one thing, but making ignorant and dangerous comments that could effect the rights and health of the nation's women is absolutely unacceptable. Take a look at this link for a more detailed description of what Fischer stated: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/08/21/bryan-fischer-todd-akin-legitimate-rape-absolutely-right_n_1818285.html Allowing comments like these to flow about freely will nearly guarantee survivors being shamed, medical access being denied, and further spread misinformation throughout an already uninformed populous. If people were to hear these comments and believe them, what would happen?

REQUIRE STORES TO DISPLAY MADE IN AMERICA ITEMS IN A SEPARATE AND PROMINATE AREA SO CUSTOMERS CAN FIND THESE MADE IN AMERICA ITEMS EASILY! IF MORE AND MORE MADE IN AMERICA ITEMS WERE SOLD, IT WOULD CREATE MORE JOBS FOR AMERICANS - THE DEMAND AND SUPPLY PHILOSPHY!!!

No American citizen should need a Photo I.D in order to vote for United States President. As long as you are 18 years old and a citizen it should be a right for any person, race, sex, to vote, without limitations. To many people have died, bleed, lost their lives in American history for any political view to stop any citizen the God given right to vote for the highest office in this land or any or political office. We should demand as a Country that as long as you are a United States citizen you should have the right to vote without limitations in the 21century.

The Blackfeet Constitution under Article VI-Powers of the Council, Amendment VI, reads in part under (k) that the powers of the council are responsible for the safeguarding and peace of the residents of the Blackfeet Indian Reservation. It is therefore your responsibility to enact the laws that ensure the safeguarding and peace of the residents of the Blackfeet Indian Reservation; not limited to the membership only, but also yourselves as duly elected officials representing all 16,000 plus members by enforcing such laws. As members of the Blackfeet Nation we understand the Civil Liberties of all Blackfeet members which states that all members of the tribe may enjoy without hindrance freedom of worship, conscience, speech, press, assembly and association, but we also see the need to enforce Ordinance 67 that states; "Whoever forcibly assaults, threatens, practices intimidation upon, or interferes with any Blackfeet Tribal Business Council, upon conviction be fined $500.00 and six months imprisonment in the Blackfeet jail" for the purposes of safeguarding and keeping the peace not only to ensure your safety, but the safety of all members of the Blackfeet Nation before it escalates and brings harm to not only yourselves or your families, but also to any individual member or families of the Blackfeet Nation.

In assisting seniors preparing their taxes, it affects them because they are already struggling; finding extra money to pay taxes affects their entire way of living. It is literally taking food out of their mouths and each year that it lingers by the next tax year it becomes compounded & their is absolutely no way out. It is so unfair that you have worked & been able to retire with a few dollars & the government thanks you by taking what little you have left. It's "unfair" that seniors with little income are scared into paying taxes with money they don't have. Paying taxes for seniors with minimum income pushes them over the edge & can be another reason for stress which lead to early death. I see it ever year & each year I see the tears & stress when they are told they owe taxes.

Over the course of the last several weeks, our governor has been asked about what he and our state will do to assist in the drought that will affect all of the farmers in our state, which in turn will affect communities and businesses. He avoids that direct question, and then launches into an attack of the President and brings the conversation down to partisan politics. Keep to the topic, Governor, and avoid partisanship politics on this state and midwest topic.

My niece Victoria Shante Nealy was wrongfully sentenced up to 10 years in prison for a crime she was forced to plead guilty without an attorney present. The Mississippi judge sentenced her to 10 years and suspended 7, thus with 3 years to serve. This sentencing is racially motivated at best. Victoria is an African-American female, single, with two beautiful little girls who is a wonderful mother and hardworker. She was working several jobs to support her children and ill mother. She is a christian woman who will do anything to help others with an infectious personality. She has never been arrested before, no previous criminal record. She paid the money back but still was given a harsh and cruel sentence. The same crime was committed by several white females in Meridian, Mississippi but were given only probation with no jail or prison time serve. Indeed, my niece's wrongful sentencing has devastated my family to say the least. We are outraged by this verdict. We are calling on the judge, Lester Williamson to overturn the sentencing of my niece and set her free immediately. We are demanding that the racially motivated unequal sentencing of African Americans, especially African-American females to end in Mississippi's criminal justice system so that innocent people of color will not become part of a growing and evil prison industrial complex. Shalom.
