Everyone in the United States is being poisoned by the fluoridation of our water supply! It is against our Civil Rights to be medicated without consent! Because we all consume different amounts of water, the dosage is not controlled. Everyone from newborns, to people with compromised immune systems are being chemically treated with fluoride without sufficient need! Please refer to the following website for more information: www.fluoridealert.org/50-reasons.htm

I cannot stand every time there is an election that the amount of money spent just keeps getting higher. Congress has tried to stop this but it never seems to change. And the elected officials never get to do their work because they are always fund raising for the next election.

There is a Pledge you can sign on line called The Anti_Norgusist Pledge.

The peace and beauty of Theodore Roosevelt's Elkhorn Ranch in North Dakota inspired me when I was there. It also inspired TR to launch the American Conservation Movement. Ironically, this unique and historical place is now threatened by encroaching oil and mineral development. I'm calling on President Obama to exercise the Antiquities Act to create a protective zone around Elkhorn Ranch by making it a National Monument.

The Republican members of the House of Representatives pushed another vote to repeal the ACA aka Obamacare for the 33rd time instead of pushing bills to help with the current economy and create jobs. They continuously blame President Obama on these same issues when they are just as responsible for starting the process of creating these bills. We need accountability in Congress to get the job done.

Please, take a stand for the right to worship the Creator through the Holy Body: our gift from the Mother. Everyone deserves: A Free body. * No one controls your physical self. Free Speech * No one forces their words into your story. Free In Personal Energy * No one dominates your life force. Freedom * To worship and study "God as Mother" No one should be able to dictate your studies, worship or private ceremony between consenting adults, yet dozens of ordained ministers face years in prison for the practice of Tantra. Public funds have been wasted while hundreds of real sex crimes go un-investigated. Let's SUPPORT our Priestesses, Healers, Shamans & Body Wisdom Guides, thank you for signing!

Certain breeds are banned in local government and many are labeled as dangerous or viscous animals. This is a violation of rights and profiling and needs to be addressed on an individual basis.

Decision-making on the future of public education in my town is being handed over to outside interests who view charter schools as a lucrative “industry.” A Walton-funded plan, developed by a Walton-funded real estate venture, calls for closing or "turnaround" of dozens of DC public schools and using their property "as incentives" for outside charter operators, many funded by the Waltons. Public input has been relegated to a few neighborhood-based, summertime "Conversations," organized by a Walton partner. We call on the Mayor and the DC Council to exercise oversight responsibilities, investigate obvious conflicts of interest, and reject government by outside interests. ***Signing is not a vote for/against charter schools, for/against unions, or a statement about any particular reform agenda. It's a request that DC officials exercise responsible oversight before making drastic changes that will affect our entire city, not just school children and their families.*** Petition comments add to the power of this document. Non-residents of DC, particularly, are encouraged to comment with their signatures, so District officials will know why their actions matter beyond our borders.

Watching my younger sister fight MS daily and having to help her with her shots, It is about time that Washington woke up and fund reseach to find a cure for ths awful disease

I want all Americans to receive the same health insurance we give to members of the U. S. House and Senate.

Because Minnesota is a large Agricultural state the breeding of all animals falls under the Ag committee. To regulate the breeding of dogs and cats would open the door to the breeding of animals as food. According to the state consensus so far that would be a bad thing. To treat all animals in a human way would defeat the making of money by large corporations that raise our food. It's a very money in your pocket kind of legislation so it's not popular. There is a woman in the state that has been working on this for over twenty years. It's just plain shameful.
