Harmless Pot Crimes fill our prisons, while Destructive Sex Offenders fill our neighborhoods. A SO's must simply register, while a pot smoker faces 10-25years for his/her first Federal offence. Women are currently the fastest growing prison population (3 out of 5 have children) Drug use is a treatable medical issue not a criminal one, where as, sex offences are an untreatable and incurable criminal issue, not a medical one.

Surviving spouses, especially widows, have been denied funds accumulated by their spouses during their working lives simply because they were too young. According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, a widow is, "a woman who has lost her husband to death and has not married again." Disabled widows are especially at a disadvantage because they no longer have the funds to make ends meet.

MR. PERRY DOESN'T BELIEVE TEXANS ARE AMERICANS "FIRST". HE REPRESENTS THE TEXAS WEALTHY 1%, AND PUTS "HIS" RELIGIOUS & PERSONAL VALUES INTO LAWS THAT ARE DETRIMENTAL TO THE FREEDOMS AND BEST INTEREST OF "ALL" TEXANS.

California prisons are full. Many are mentally ill people. Turn a few prisons into places to keep the mentally ill prisoners in and move the real criminals into the cells vacated by them. Exchange the jobs of prison guards for medical personnel. It would be cheaper and and more sane.

20% Pay cut for the President, Congress and House of Representatives effective Immediate. No more travel perks and pay 25% of their own medical! Both sides are guilty of playing politics with the economy and citizens of the United States!

Financial fraud, manipulation and malfeasance has become the standard operating procedure of the industry. A recent industry survey showed that more than 33% admitted that they have and will commit fraud to generate their personal income. As regulations get more complex, the regulators, SEC, CTFC, Fed simply cannot keep up with the gaming of the regulations by industry participants. I and many others have lost thousands with MFC Global and now Peregrine. Not a single banker or broker or executive has gone to jail. The industry simply pays a fine, that in comparison to their profits is minimal. It is time for real penalties to stop this fraud.

Today, I went to Team USA, to "like" it, and make a donation. How supprised I was to find the letters, BP not only was in the title, but was the first name in the title. I actually appreciate this corp for supporting our team and thank BP and all contributors, BUT to "name" our team BP is a travisty. A. This is a British corp, and B. this corp. caused the greatest menmade disaster t

The number of tornadoes are increasing every year and hiding in the tub or standing in a inner door way should no longer be the solution by FEMA. Now basements can be built in Texas - everyone should be told it is not only possible but energy efficient to do so.

Currently there are on going talks between an investor group(involving chris hansen, steve ballmer and the nordstroms) and the city of seattle as well as king county councils, to bring a new state of the art arena into seattle in order to have an nba team and an nhl team play in seattle. Mr Hansen and his group has a memoranda of understanding between the city of seattles mayor(mcginn), and his investor group on the proposal to build a new arena. Mr Hansen and his group are asking for $200 million in public bonding to aid in the construction of this new arena, and have agreed to pay all other costs of construction, a new nba team and any cost overruns or shortfalls throughout a 30 year binding lease. The bonds would be paid back via any taxes collected on use of the building. If you don't go to games, or set foot in the building you would never have to worry about being charged for it. If approved this deal would create 1000's of jobs and bring in billions of dollars into the economy in king county and seattle!This deal is about as good as it gets, yet the councils are dragging their collective feet and appear to be looking for reasons to reject it. Tell them you want it! Say yes! Bring back our sonics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mr Mayor its time you took a stand to support Gay Marriage
