The power outages of last fall and this past week along the east coast and the fires out west need out attention. We can help each other and the nation by encouraging all of our elected officials to do the following: 1. Start burying the power lines NOW-spend the money here. 2. Hire returning vets with many, many different skills to do that, to train to fight fires when needed, to rebuild the lost homes, businesses etc now and each year.

Whales and Dolphins are wonderful. They love humans, yet we keep hurting them for no reason. They are super intelligent. How do we know they are not smarter than us? They don't kill for no reason. They like to eat, so do I. They love to play, me too. Please stop harming these wonderful creatures. When I peer into a whales eyes I see beauty and a thought process. Dolphins are the loving. They love to follow ships and put on a show.

It should be the lottery winner's right to chose whether they want to claim their winnings in a public event or not. If a state is not going to allow a winner anonymity, then the winner should be able to chose when and where they claim the winnings. There is a big difference between releasing information and mandating a public appearance with photographs.

Repairing TEETH is the repair of the FIRST of the digestive organs. Those organs are A) TEETH B) STOMACH C) INTESTINE. WE THE SO-CALLED PEOPLE HAVE NO RIGHT TO HEALTH CARE COVERAGE OF OUR TEETH.

The Trans-Pacific Partnership is a trade agreement currently in negotiation with 11 countries including the United States. The TPP is cloaked in secrecy with a timetable targeting the end of this year. Based on what is known, however, it appears that the agreement essentially elevates large multinational corporations to the same level as a sovereign state and limits national and private citizen rights in favor of corporate rights.

My petition is about equal rights for equal folks. I also believe that this move will cause an immediate impact on the local economy of Las Vegas, Nevada considering all of the marriages that occur there already.

We the undersigned residents of Indiana fully support the Affordable Care Act and wish to see it implemented in Indiana as soon as possible.

I recently had a doctor's appointment for which I had to take my lunch break at work to attend. I was the only person in the waiting room when I got there at 1:25pm for my 1:30pm. After being there for 15 minutes and not being seen I was ready to leave as I was on my lunch break. Incidents like this have happened on more than on occasion and it is very frustrating. Our time is just as important as there's.

Gov. Jindal is threatening not to implement or participate in key components of the Affordable Care Act risking the health of thousands of Louisiana's residents. Tell him that Louisiana needs affordable health care.

I have worked at the Trane Company plant in La Crosse, Wisconsin for over 12 years. I take great pride in the work I do…when I have it. You see, outsourcing of good jobs at the plant has become an all-too-common occurrence. Three production lines at the factory have been shipped overseas to China and Mexico in the last five years and I have been temporarily laid off more times than I can count. Hundreds of good jobs in La Crosse are now gone and many of my co-workers have been forced to leave La Crosse in search of other work. It’s hurt local businesses and taken away badly-needed revenue from our schools, hospitals and libraries. And I know we aren’t alone. Millions of jobs have been offshored because of lopsided trade deals that have put the interests of corporations over the interests of working families. That’s why it is so important we get the next trade deals right and we have a chance right now. U.S. trade representatives are currently negotiating the Trans-Pacific Partnership Free Trade Agreement (TPP FTA), which will be the biggest trade agreement in U.S. history. To ensure this trade agreement works for working families and creates and protects jobs in the United States, I'm helping gather signatures for an emergency petition delivery from working families on July 9 in San Diego during the next round of the TPP FTA negotiations. Please sign my petition now to urge President Obama and U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk to negotiate a trade policy that creates good jobs in the United States, ensures all levels of government can Buy American, protects workers’ rights and stops foreign corporations from skirting U.S. laws to help their bottom line.
