Tennessee Gas is about to create a new 7-mile pipeline through our community and destroy wildlife areas and kill thousands of trees when they could use an EXISTING 1-mile pipeline that is already there and they already have rights to. This new pipeline will be used to carry fracked natural gas through our neighborhood and next to our school.

American Companies get tax breaks for creating jobs overseas. This should be stopped. Also, all companies that outsource American jobs overseas and lays off workers to do so, should pay that employees taxes, until the laid off employee finds a job. All taxes, City, County, Township, State, Federal. This way the tax base is not eroded or undermined by Corporate greed.

• With over 2 million prisoners, USA is on the top of the chart for total number of prisoners, holding 23 % of total global inmate population on the planet. • 67 % of people released from prison are re-arrested within 3 years of their release. Why Meditation in Prison: Prisoners share common characteristics, although they differ in age and social background. Most of them are highly impulsive and have low self-control. Meditation gives people a conscious choice and chance to become aware and in control of their behavior. Kundalini Yoga & Meditation are magnificent shortcut to restoring power, harmony & energetic balance in the human body and living happy, stress –free, fulfilled life. Successful Examples of Meditation in Prison Meditation has brought to the American correctional system /the practice has also been successfully introduced in Mexico, Australia, as well as in US women’s prison/ a way out of the debate about how to administer change from the outside by giving directly to the inmate the responsibility and means to change from within. Outcomes of Kundalini Yoga & Meditation National researches conducted over a decade in the US, show that meditation the practices lead to : • Improved executive functioning: o Improved self-control and self-awareness o Improved attention skills • Reduced stress and anxiety: o Decreased anxiety o Decreased blood pressure • Reduced misbehavior/aggression • Improved attention skills and social skills • Increased positive emotions We believe integration of Kundalini Yoga & Meditation in Prisons will contribute to improved self-control, self-awareness and decreased levels of aggression of prisoners and future crime prevention! This will create much more humane and effective prison system. We believe that every person deserves a chance for healing, in order to build a free, safe, healthy and happier future society!

Too big to fail has failed, we need to get back to what worked. Allowing Banks, to manage Insurance, Real estate, Stocks and Bonds, and the loans to support all of the above is dangerous as we have seen what happens. We need to limit commercial bank securities activities and affiliations between commercial banks and securities firms. Everything should be handled by separate entities.

Our youth are not getting the education they need to become healthy, self-sufficient adults. The CDC estimates that 1 in 3 children born in the year 2000 will have diabetes at some point. Preventable diet-related diseases are the main cause of death in the U.S. and account for more than $150 billion in yearly health care costs. Public education operates on the pretense of preparing students for jobs and the reality of preparing them for tests (which it does rather poorly). Education reform is overdue, and increasing healthy living skills should be a main priority of our nation's schools. Every student should learn about nutrition, food sources and affordable healthy foods. Another component of food education is basic cooking skills; as Jamie Oliver has suggested, every young person should leave high school knowing how to cook 10 simple, inexpensive and healthy meals.

It is time that unions don't carry all the load. It is time for Democrats to get off their butts and talk to people face to face and tell them the truth one on one!

The Proposed Zero Contributions Campaign Finance Amendment to the United States Constitution is a campaign finance reform effort to eliminate the influence of financial contributions on our elected officials.

With the Euro economy struggling, Republicans breathing down Pres. Obama's neck with all of their money to oust him, repeated efforts to create US jobs with republican opposition (unless it is for big oil), I'd like to appeal to my fellow Americans, to go out and buy something American. Recent data shows that productivity is down... which means that those of us who have been fortunate enough to work, are now tired of our overload... and this is going to force companies to hire.... IF... the demand for products stays up. So, go out there and be a good-demanding-American! Go buy something! But be planful... pick an American product, or American friendly product, or democratic friendly product, and help keep up the demand. Help create new jobs through your purchasing power, help "vote" through your purchasing power, help keep our economy going. Make it harder on the Obama haters to hate. Rise to this American Challenge! Show the Kock brothers, Karl Rove, Trump, Rush and the republicans who love to hate, that we are going to take back our country despite their twisted agenda.
