Get Big money out of our political process allowing the citizens of this country experience true democracy once again.

The California Grant the (Cal Grant) offered to California residents attending universities may be in jeopardy. Governor Jerry Brown is considering reducing the grant by almost 44 percent, from a maximum of $9,708 a year to maximum of approximately $5,700. The Cal Grant changes being considered affect me personally and tens of thousands of other low income students attending independent, nonprofit higher education institutions like Loyola Marymount University (L.M.U.). The loss or reduction of the grant would be significant enough to make tens of thousands of students unable to return to the California universities in school year 2012-13. Brown is hoping the cuts will save the state money, but this will not be the case. Students who are forced to leave private institutions will most likely attend state schools, which are already reaching capacity, and could ultimately cost the state more money. This is because the state subsidy [the amount the state pays per student] for Cal Grant students attending institutions like L.M.U. is substantially lower than the total subsidy provided to the Cal Grant students in the UC and CSU systems.

Our national policy is to lessen the impact of global warming. Decreasing the burning of fossil fuels is part of that policy. By encouraging the export of coal to China we encourage the continued use of what is really a toxic fuel. Not only is the burning of coal bad for the citizens of China, but from that burning, CO2, Sulfuric acid, nitrous oxide and mercury will drift as airborne pollutant to the West coast. I am not sure that the increase in jobs is worth the increase in the hazards to our health and that of the environment.

Corey Safford has been housed at Cook County Dept. of Correction since January, 2010. Mr. Safford won his appeal after being charged in January, 1998 for attempt murder of a Harvey Police Officer. There were many errors found in this case. The Appellate Court and the Illinois Supreme Court Agreed, Mr. Safford's case was reversed.

The last beating just occured where he suffered broken bones to his face and suffered other injuries. In addition, the Jail will not allow Mr. Safford the proper Medical Treatment, his life is in danger as a result of the attacks and lack of medical treatment. The Jail Administration has been notified, however there is no action to resolve these issues.

The purging of Democratic voters from the polls is a crime that is currently being committed in Florida and Texas by governors Scott and Perry. Eric Holder seems to think that writing memos to governor Scott fulfills his role in the matter. Tell Eric Holder that the job of the Attorney General of the United States is that of the chief enforcement officer of the Justice Department, and as the Nation's head cop he needs to get out the handcuffs for criminals who break our election laws.

I live in Wisconsin and was part of the Recall Walker campaign, which failed in large part because Governor Walker bought his votes with huge amounts of corporate money; he outspent Mayor Barrett 8-1 (much of his money from out of state). It has come to the point where money can speak louder than citizens. Where will this end? Will we now have our politicians bought by Big Companies instead of elected by citizens? We need to stop large corporations and personally wealthy individuals from being able to finance candidates who support their agenda, or the individual vote will become useless.

The mouth of Arroyo Grande Creek is a "road" to the State Vehicle Recreation Area (SVRA). There are (or were) 6 Endangered Species here. Why do our tax dollars promote driving on Oceano Beach as a type of "recreation"??

Leaf blowers blow everything it hits into the air and into surrounding areas. Plus, they are loud. This is an example of total inconsideration to neighbors and all those close to scene of said leaf blower.

We need to consolidate the gains that we have made over the past 4 years. We always wanted more but to achieve more, we have to accept how difficult it is to accomplish the changes we want. An Obama-Clinton ticket will strengthen our ability to go forward and help us to renew our faith in our goals.

Why is congress not helping to create jobs. We the American people need to stand up and demand that congress put the American people first. Let us let congress no we will remember them for there no interest in creating jobs for the American people
