Many states have passed "voter ID" laws to "curb voter fraud". There should be no law passed that would increase the difficulty of a legal voter to be able to cast his/her vote. There are very few cases of voter fraud reported in our ENTIRE Nation, and there is little if no evidence that leads even the most careful investigator to believe that any of these laws will "curb" the nearly-non-existent voter fraud. Also, there has been verbal acknowledgment by a Pennsylvania lawmaker that these laws have been enacted for political & partisan reasons.

The changes to the advanced training pathway for RACP / CICM dual trainees.

Rick Perry is requesting for the Texas Citizens to pay for his campaign when he was running for president; we all know that was a disgrace to Texas. We should not be responsible for his personal decisions. Secondly, Rick Perry said he will not receive additional medicaid for the poor and the middle class citizens in the state of Texas. This is outrageous & not encouraging to our citizens that need help here. We need help in Texas because the rich continues to press their feet on our necks here and it is time to stop. The republicans have bullied us enough. 3rdly, Rick Perry said he will not allow the people of Texas to have any part of President Obama's Health Care plan. Rick Perry knows we need help and have always chosen to look over us as if we don't exist. He acknowledges the rich and he will only show his face with minority people of color when he is in the midst of a campaign trying to get votes by deceit; the same way Kaye Bailey Hutchinson is and has done as a Senator. We do not need him in office any longer. We need a Democrat. Someone that is willing to look out for all people not just the rich people.

With Citizens United, the conservative Supreme Court expanded corporate political power by ruling that corporations could spend unlimited amounts of unregulated money to buy elections. However, last month, that same conservative Supreme Court restricted the power of organized labor by placing new requirements on how unions can spend money on political activity. According to a new ruling, unions must get opt-in permission from workers who are required to pay dues, but choose not to join the union, before those nonmember dues can be used for political purposes. This ruling overturned well-settled precedent, and gave anti-labor forces a victory well beyond what they were even seeking in the case before the court. Corporations and unions should face the same restrictions on using organizational money for political purposes. Tell Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid it's time for legislation requiring that corporations receive opt-in permission from shareholders before company funds can be used for political purposes.

Nationally our public school systems are failing our students. Parent involvement is not mandated. Our nations student's are required to attend school - but parents/guardians of failing students are not required to actively engage and support the learning process. Demand that Congress pass legislation that requires all parents of failing students to partner with the school system to support student achievement.

You tell them no sending the " Gift Cards" and they still send them anyway and your account is debited for 29.95 or so. Something "can" be done to stop this.

I have a friend whose family member is struggling to overcome a substance abuse habit and is in a recovery program. The funding received is General Assistance which is a tempory funding stream. Corbett's budget cuts this lifeline for these struggling people yet gives a 1.6 billion tax credit to Royal Dutch Shell, the 2nd largest company in the world. This family member will be out on the streets along with many others. Tell Governor Corbett and lawmakers to restore General Assistance.

Please stop the killing of 1,800 whales and dolphins and the deafening of 15,900 more by ceasing the operation of the Navy's underwater sound system in the Hawaiian Islands, the California and Atlantic Coasts, and the Gulf of Mexico.

Health insurance too expensive for self employed people. I have successful grown children that are self employed, but can't afford health insurance because its cost over $1,000 a month!!

Stop the use of high-frequency underwater sound for testing that will hurt whales and dolphins and kill 1,800 more

The i-word is dehumanizing, racially charged and masquerades as legal terminology, which it is not. There are terms like “unauthorized” and “undocumented,” and other precise, rational descriptions that can be used. The i-word denies people due process and is incompatible with ethical, professional journalistic standards. The i-word inflames anti-immigrant rhetoric, which morphs into anti-Latino sentiment. By dropping the i-word, newspapers can stop fueling hate and prejudice toward members of its own community.
