My brother, Darin "Koncreet" McClintock, accidentally overdosed on Oxycontin at the age of 32. He was a successful business man and had been married for almost three years. Darin was prescribed Oxycontin because of a broken arm he sustained in a snowboarding accident. Oxycontin, in the same family as heroin and morphine, is a highly addictive opioid and is causing unnecessary and tragic deaths all over the country. Purdue Pharma LP is currently conducting a trial of Oxycontin on children aged 6-16 for moderate to severe pain, aiming to gain FDA approval to label the controversial painkiller for use by children as young as 6 and extend its patent on the drug, which is set to expire in 2013. Please join me in opposing FDA approval of Oxycontin for young children.

Ohio has the largest backlog for social security disability applications in the entire country. This is not something that happened yesterday, this issue has been given lip service for years now. According to Sen.(Dem) Sherrod Brown the current backlog is at 40,000 and continues to grow. Is this how the state of Ohio rewards its tax payers, by making them wait 3 to 5 years for something they paid tax money into ?

No taxpayer funded healthcare vouchers. We want true universal healthcare.

71% of cancer comes from environmental factors; the additives in our food, air pollution, the arsenic and other additives added to make cigarettes more addictive, current pestiides sprayed on our food etc etc. Hundreds of thousands of lives could be saved by making minor changes. In actuality its chemical warfare being pushed on Americans every day.

Anyone (including SuperPacs) stating false or misleading information in a television campaign advertisement, faces felony charges and prison time of not less than two years and a one million dollar mandatory fine.

Putting a reasonable cap on what apartments can charge for rent. Affordable housing shouldn't be just for the poor. I am in the process of trying to buy (and currently living with friends and family) because it was cheaper to have a mortgage, HOA fee, and taxes for a bigger place then to rent a small modest 1 bed apartment.

Fair taxes for everyone

The UN sends representives to other countries to monitor the voting process, I suggest we have the UN send delegates to monitor the voting process here in the United States to ensure every citizen that show up at the poles are able to vote.

With the cost of power affecting everyone and the hot dry summer affecting our atmosphere, why should the coal powered plants continue to be powered up when demand is low? Wind power should be the alternative to the dirty coal emissions used unnecessarily when demand is low.

There is a petition on signon.org asking congress to reinstitute the ban on assault weapons. This petition seeks to represent the people who do NOT support reinstating the ban.

A significant rise in the noise level from the increased numbers of helicopters and other aircraft during the last two weeks has become unbearable. Our quality of life and right to peaceful enjoyment is in jeopardy. East Hampton Airport has now ceded control to the FAA and by the End of August, the FAA plans to make the flight path over NOYAC, North Sea, Bridgehampton and Sag Harbor the only permanent helicopter/aircraft route to be used to and from Manhattan. The new proposed permanent route is for all helicopters to go North to South over Jessup’s Neck and the Morton Wildlife Preserve and over Noyac, North Sea, Bridgehampton and parts of Sag Harbor. The noise affects a wide swath of residential properties from here to the airport. Our property values will forever be negatively impacted by this noise and pollution.
