Premium seating, whereby the airline, in this case Delta, charges a premium for window and aisle seats, has the effect of separating family members throughout the aircraft and thereby compromises the safety of all on board in the event of an emergency evacuation. Parents will go to their children first before evacuating the aircraft, thus compromising the efficient flow of passengers to the exits. Aircraft are certified to be able to evacuate the aircraft within 90 seconds. All FAA evacuations certifications are thus now invalidated now that parents are going to go their children first, before evacuating. Stop separating families on airlines!

SINCE THERE IS AN ENTRY LEVEL ENGLISH LANGUAGE REQUIREMENT ALL BALLOTS SHOULD BE WRITTEN IN ENTRY LEVEL ENGLISH. THIS WOULD ELIMINATE THE NEED TO PRINT BALLOTS IN OTHER LANGUAGES, REDUCE THE COSTS OF DOING SO, AND MAKE THEM EASIER FOR EVERYONE TO UNDERSTAND

I strongly believe that the State of Nebraska needs to re-evaluate the foster care system because they are too quick in pulling children out of the home when they don't need to be taken away. Yet, there are numerous others that are left alone in very serious and dangerous conditions however the State of Nebraska lets those children stay in the home. However, for a dirty house you get your children taken away and when you maintain it for a long time they think of other hoops for you to jump through as if you did something like seriously abusing them when that's not the case.

The greatest threat that we Americans face today is the career politician. Politicians get elected to represent constituents from their home state, but far too often they arrive in Washington and, although they may have had good intentions, they are sucked up into the whirlpool of corporate lobbyists and special interests groups and a system of career politicians who have forgotten who they work for. Somewhere along the line, Congress has turned from a group of elected people “Of the people, by the people, and for the people”, into a group of elitist who do whatever they must to remain in power. When and where did they get the idea that if you don’t agree completely, you don’t have to do anything? If you or I did that, we’d be unemployed in a heartbeat. Congress is at a stalemate, bogged down in Ideological mud, and everybody is slinging it. It is frozen, much like my computer sometimes is. When my PC freezes, I hit control/alt/delete and reboot it. That is what this country needs; to reboot or restart. How do we do it? Start with the brain, the idea center where it all begins: Congress. Do this, and then sit back and watch how fast they can overcome their ideological differences and reach across the aisles.

As a Realtor, I have four (4) clients in the unfortunate position of chosing to short-sale their homes after attempts at modification failed. BOA offers this option to their clients but, makes the process so daunting with delay after delay and requesting the same information over & over & over again that the properties end-up in foreclosure anyway. After several months of the madness, one client lost the fight even though we had an offer to purchase about 3-weeks before the scheduled foreclosure. And now, after EIGHT (8) months it seems another client is about to be pushed to the same end; this time, we have FOUR offers to purchase. At this rate, there's almost no hope for the other clients. Help me to help others across America who find themselves facing the same run around!

Money is being siphoned off to the top 1% of our society. Everyone experiences the negative effects of this very deep problem. We are asking the California State Legislature to allocate money to subsidize community centers for the purpose of coordinating the common people's goods and services, needs and abilities via computers. This could happen on an exchange basis using credits for products, skills and services rendered.

"As a music journalist with deep Arts & Entertainment contacts who could use a long term, on-going, life sustaining regular paycheck including safe, adequate housing & healthcare it's self evident that musicians properly coordinated, rallying for a cause can & do make a fiscal & social difference. Initiate now a national referendum to immediately create ongoing & forever national, regional, local resources with help from, by & with the music biz to address each community's specialized needs (jobs-health care-education-housing)"

We the people, need to limit all terms in Congress to one term because all Americans have been affected by the cozy relationship between large corporations and OUR government! The people need to make this pass by voting out anyone who tries to shelf this amendment.

The Post Office "losses" are due to a poison pill bill passed to prefund retiree health benefits for the next 75 years! Some can not stand that P.O. is color blind in hiring--too many "minorities" are getting good paying jobs because civil service exams can not discriminate.They want to close post offices and lay off hundreds of thousands of hard working employees. Also, Veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan should get extra bonus points so they can be hired. Benjamin Franklin understood how important the P.O. is to our democracy. We can not let this institution be privatized.

The proposed East West Utility Corridor from Calais, ME to Coburn Gap, ME feasibility study (postponement bill in legislature in ME) needs to have an environmental impact and a cultural Maine impact (eco-tourism, farming, retirement communities and way life should be. If you agree sign this petition.

The lies Republicans candidates utter regarding the energy policy President Obama put in place. Wallstreet journal, Citibank nd many more investment analyst are showing data how many wells were drilled during Obama's presidency, and yes already producing. The cautiosu President Obama knows how the "rich energy companies" have contracted the Chinese to produce to pipelines, the Indians to procude the ceramic covers for te pipes, ofcourse cheaper but untested or regulated. Great fr the republicans to keep the job market LOW and expose the general public to the dangers of explosions. So outsourcing and financing those Billionaires is more important than job and safety.
