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

Organic food has become a wildly lucrative business for Big Food companies that use their appointed members of National Organic Standards Board to push for more and more non-organic ingredients to be accepted for "Certified Organic" label.

The navy high frequency underwater sound-testing proposal for the next five years would destroy hundreds of thousands of dolphins and whales. This project must be stopped! The damage to ocean life would be devastating to all. Please don't kill the whales and dolphins in the sea. They are intelligent creatures...more that the Navy. They don't understand the important part these animals play in the world...especially with people with disabilities and scientists.

The people (congressmen) against "Obamacare" should pledge to refuse their government health insurance along with their vote to repeal "Obamacare" . It is too easy for the well covered to deny health insurance for the poor when they are taking advantage of a benefit for themselves. When my husband almost died from an infection we found ourselves bombarded with bills not knowing if we would be reimbursed by our insurance, he was but it took months - In our little town of western NY, almost every supermarket has jars on the counters collecting funds to help someone pay for their serious medical bills or organizing spaghetti dinners in the fire hall to pay for medical bills for someone. Would a congressman like to depend on spaghetti dinners to pay for their medical bills ?

What happens when you don't pay your mortgage? When do we start paying down our debts? Your part of our national debt is growing every minute. Oh, Congress didn't tell you that to spend more money now they have decided to mortgage our future and the future of our children? Too bad. Now is time for you to act.
