A foreign country's inordinate influence on our foreign policy and the wars encouraged by them.

Harrison Street is being considered by the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission as a possible "Historical District." While I appreciate the ideals that the commission stands for, as one of many middle and working class homeowners in this area, this move would be a great financial burden. A resident of this block asked for two quotes during a recent home improvement. When he had siding put up he was told regular siding would cost $45,000. The Historic approved siding would cost $120,000! As a young homeowner with a 2-year-old child $45,000 would be hard enough. The latter price would be near impossible! We have kept this area stable and within the spirit of neighborhood without this NYC-initiated move. We homeowners wish it to remain this way. Let individual homeowners decide to apply for historic value for their own homes. Leave the fate of their property in their capable hands. We need your help! We constituents are calling upon you now to speak out on our behalf!

There are some people who are working hard to ban Fireworks in Utah. Sign this petition to keep Fireworks and Aerial Fireworks a like legal! Let's keep America's greatest tradition Strong! Share this with all your friends let's make our voices heard! Some want to ban fireworks because of the fires. Most of these fires aren't caused by Fireworks. I believe Fireworks do more good than bad. Sure we'll have a few dry seasons, but banning fireworks isn't the solution. Education and some common sense is a better approach, than banning them all together. Other people want to ban fireworks because they feel it is annoying - Banning fireworks for this reason is the wrong approach.

The only way to restore a balanced budget; bring home the troops and end the useless killings--stop funding G.W. Bush's mistakes.

So much political advertising is misleading or outright false. Congress needs to clean up the lies and give us only the truth. The Supreme Court seems to think lying is protected speech, but political advertising must be truthful.

Tell Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda to permanently close all four nuclear reactors involved in the nuclear disaster. The Japanese people want the reactor site shut down but the Prime Minister will not listen to the thousands of protestors.

The Supreme Court has affirmed the Constitutionality and legitimacy of the Affordable Care Act. Republicans have been derisively referring to it as Obamacare. Ask your Member of Congress and Senators to refer to it as ObamaCares. We can throw the G-NO-P's ridicule in their faces and give a one-word characterization to the proper value of this law.

Since the Supreme Court has ruled on the constitutionality of the Affordable Health Care Act both major political parties have decided that this will be the dominant issue in the national, state,a nd local elections of 2012.

The Bill and Melinda Gates foundation continually uses their funds to support Monsanto. They need to stop supporting Monsanto and help those farmers support themselves, not buying seed and pesticides from a large and ethically questionable corporation.
