The Affordable Health Care at is a good start toward Universal Health Care.

We are calling on Governor John Kasich and Attorney General Mike DeWine to fully implement the Affordable Care Act in a timely manner.

Citizens of Missouri know that access to quality health care is a human right, not a privilege. We know that many Missouri residents will not have access to quality and affordable health care without the Affordable Care Act. Following the Supreme Court decision to uphold the law, some governors have stated that they will not implement the portion of the Affordable Care Act that expands Medicaid to serve the neediest of our citizens. We are calling on Governor Jay Nixon and Attorney General Chris Koster to stand for all of our citizens by committing to fully implementing the Affordable Care Act in a timely manner.

The US NAVY is conducting underwater sonar testing that is deafening whales and disturbing their sensitive communications between one another. We do not have the right to torture them this way.... This must stop

Idaho just passed a rule to allow hunting of wolves every day of the year. There were about 1,000 wolves in the state. The hunt that ended Sunday took 379 wolves. That leaves less than 625 wolves. With the new rule the new season began Monday. Hunters can kill up to 5 wolves. This is NOT hunting it is extermination of a species not based on any science.

Most purchases are automatically put into a plastic bag that is then discarded and adds to the pollution problem. We are calling for a ban on free non-disposable, non-recyclable plastic bags. Retailers may provide bags for a charge that will go towards environment clean up of plastics.

Some states in the South are refusing to implement two common-sense provisions in the Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare"). Georgia cannot join them, or it will place its citizens at a severe disadvantage and lose any status it still retains as the gateway to the New South. Unfortunately, Governor Nathan Deal and Attorney General Sam Olens are on record with misleading statements like: "Georgia must now work steadfastly on repealing this law and replacing it with reforms that help taxpayers," and falsely call the Act "neither affordable or accessible."

In 1986, Congress enacted the Air Carrier Access Act of 1986 to prohibit discrimination against passengers with disabilities by commercial airliners. However, recent federal court decisions have narrowly interpreted the statute to deny a private cause of action in federal district court. Congress clearly needs to include an EXPRESS private action in the ACAA to prohibit unjust, discriminatory treatment by air carriers.

Being single most of my adult life and having to pay my own way through school but having to still take out student loans to make my education occur, I have been paying over 10 years. I feel there should be a limit on how many years you are tied down to such debt if you have paid consistantly for 10 years. There should be a break off period. I will never get ahead for taking a chance on myself to have an education. It is not like I have a masters degree; only a B.S. (ironically). We need someone to help those of us who have paid and paid to not be a burden on society so that we don't become a burden to ourselves for having gone to college. HELP!!!

The military budget needs to be reduced by half and US Army bases around the world need to be closed. We have become an Empire and need to revision ourselves as a nation committed to the common good!

Electoral votes determine who our president will be, not the popular vote. The 538 Electoral voters are hand picked by the polital parties.This Red state - Blue state winner takes all approach is archaic and a dangerous concentration of power. Since 1944 every Gallup poll indicates the majority of Americans are in favor of an amendment to allow for direct election of the president. The 17th amendment gave us direct election of senators. It's time to take back the power of the vote and abolish the electoral college! To better understand how the electoral collage works: http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/Vote2004/story?id=199823&page=1

Effective immediately, retirement funds for all members of Congress and the Senate--past, present, and deceased--should be moved into the Social Security retirement system. They should live with the same retirement benefits as other American citizens.
