Wolves are native, ecologically vital and beautiful members of the North American landscape. Wherever they live, wolves are remarkable, natural predators who keep their prey species healthy and strong. Wolves have been persecuted and massacred for centuries due to human ignorance, intolerance, and cruelty. It is the very opposite of the respect, admiration and protection they deserve. Wolves are highly social and very intelligent beings and, like all canines, they are loyal and loving to their families. As the late and most dedicated Alaska wolf field scientist Gordon Haber observed, if humans were as loving and devoted to their families as wolves are to their families, the world would be a much better place. Brutally persecuting and killing such ecologically vital, sensitive, intelligent and family-oriented beings should be labeled what it is: heartless animal abuse and criminal slaughter. In this modern era, with our deeper understanding of ecology and the inter-connected circle of life, the magic of biodiversity and amidst growing compassion towards all wild beings, to perpetrate such brutality and unjustified killing of wolves and other natural predators is hugely unethical and ecologically criminal. This unacceptable, horrid killing stands in blatant contradiction to the expressed desires of the wildlife respecting and conservation supporting majority of American citizens and decent people from around the world. Shame on Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Alaska. The ignorant, anti-ecology wolf haters in these states are a disgrace to the entire country, as are the politicians who are in bed with them. For example, corrupt and backward Idaho state officials have allowed a wolf killing contest there and have also hired a wildlife killer to slaughter two wolf families living deep in the vast Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness. Are Idaho wolf haters and politicians, and the persecutors and killers in other states as well, so lacking in decency and humility that they dare to tell the Creator He made a mistake by creating wolves? And they are correcting His mistakes? Vital and beautiful, wild and free wolves are not safe anywhere in Idaho, and that is a great sin against Creation. Idaho caters to animal abusers, wildlife persecutors and destroyers and provides one of the best examples of why America's wolves must be placed back on the Endangered Species List everywhere in the country. Too many cattle ranchers perpetuate deadly, hysterical myths and ridiculous exaggerations about depredation of cattle by wolves, which is statistically insignificant in every state. Wolves much prefer their wild prey. For instance, in the huge state of Montana, there are 2,500,000 non-native cattle. Tens of thousands of cattle in Montana die every year due to weather, disease, birth complications and from eating poison plants, for which ranchers receive zero compensation. In 2011, the US Fish & Wildlife Service confirmed only 74 cattle taken by wolves in the entire state. 74 out of 2,500,000... that is statistically nearly zero! And Montana ranchers are foolishly compensated for such tiny losses. The depredation statistics are similarly tiny in nearby Idaho and Wyoming. Yet, so many cattlemen constantly scheme and pressure federal and state politicians to kill wolves. Cattlemen should no longer dictate federal wildlife policy out West, as they have for so long. Many ranchers refuse to adopt proven, non-lethal methods to control the very tiny losses they experience from wolves. Instead, cattlemen are addicted to a culture of killing and having control over whatever it is they want to destroy. It's the same arrogance and brutality that earlier destroyed Native American people and massacred native wildlife throughout the continent. Decent Americans should no longer allow such brutality to be the American way anywhere. It is shameful and unacceptable that any supposedly decent American politician would listen to such destructive schemers and then serve their cruel, unjust, and immoral demand that innocent wolves be condemned to death. Isn't it time the United States finally atoned for causing such brutal destruction to both native people and native wildlife, instead of allowing such monstrous cruelty to continue? Instead of more persecution and killing, this country should create, without delay, a Peace Corps initiative to help heal Native Americans who suffer greatly from ill health, suicide and despondency; and to heal and restore native wildlife, all of whom deserve to live in peace, at last, in what is their native homeland, too. Until this needed change comes, past mistakes are repeated again and again within a broken system. To add massive insult to injury, the ranchers' non-native cattle graze on federal taxpayer subsidized public lands that belong to all Americans, land that should be a haven for America's vital wolves and other native wildlife, including native bison, grizzly bears, mountain lions, prairie dogs, wolverines, coyotes and so many other amazing members of the continent's rich natural heritage. The massive numbers of non-native cattle grazing unsupervised throughout the arid West cause tremendous damage trampling across fragile ecosystems where they do not belong. The cattleman's reign of terror against the wildlife and wild lands of the United States must permanently come to an end. And let it begin now by saying 'No More' to the federal tax-payer subsidized 'welfare ranchers' unrelenting campaign of the demonization and slaughter of America's wolves and their families. There are decent ranchers who respect native wildlife, including wolves, and who have adopted proven, responsible and humane measures to co-exist with them. These good and decent people are to be commended and supported, it's just that there are not enough of them. Ecologically ignorant hunters, selfish hunting outfitters, and sadistic trappers relentlessly ...

It would eliminate the limit for FICA with-holdings and require that such with-holdings be paid on all income. Presently, any income over~ $106,000 per year is exempt from FICA. This change would require high income earners to pay the same percentage as everyone else and would help solve any real or perceived issues of solvency of the SS Trust fund.

Recently the federal government and 49 state attorneys general concluded a settlement with the country’s five largest mortgage loan servicers that forces them to do more for their underwater borrowers. Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae are not parties to this settlement despite the fact that they own billions of dollars of underwater mortgage loans. We are calling on President Obama to force these quasi-government agencies to follow the terms of the settlement.

Gasoline and oil prices are double what they were a year ago. Even last year rich oil barrons were making billioms in profits and now they are quadrupling profits at the AMerican tax payers expense. Many American soldiers have sacrificed and died to protect oil american interests. We Americans have every right to control fuel prices. Many politcians, like Obama, receive lucrative donations from oil companies to ensure they control prices. It is time for American mass to control oil prices. Did you know Venesualians pay less than one dollar per gallon. For our country,s sake , please sign this petition to cut gasoline costs in half. We need 50 signatures by November 2012.

Our Congress is deadlocked and nothing is being accomplished.

Both my sons are vet of Iraq - the youngest ( NC Army National Guard) who was there in 2005-2006, has 70% disability rating for PTSD. The military has done little except throw $$ at him (where is the follow thru with counceling; a contact person to call when he goes "soldier mode" besides me, his mother?) I have called numerous times, going up the list, thru the chain of command and made it to the 2nd in command in NC where we live - she, a major, got an attitude with me! After I informed her that I out-rank her being an "Army Mom x2", she gave me a chaplin's number who never returned my call........that was about 3 yrs ago! Still, my son can go off out of the blue; has been in numerous fights ( some he instagated, some not); arrested numerous times (assault on an officer x 6 at one time because if you try to subdue him, he goes crazy - a soldier is taught to fight to the death and being 6', maybe 160 lbs - I've seen him defend himself against 4 officers, 2 security guards - all with his jaw broken in 4 places(!) due to an altercation with 2 seniors while at college. He was expelled asap from this state funded college with me receiving a call that he has NO right to be on this college campus since he has been taught hand to hand combat.........after he drove himself to a VA hosp (an hour away) and they couldn't handle this type of emergency surgery; he was taken via EMS to a bigger civilian hosp for surgery. After a few days admission, his older brother, a career soldier, stayed by his side and took him back to his campus apartment and stood as his security guard because he was in no shape to travel to return home at that time. To make matters worse - he was billed for the civilian hosp bill when since the VA couldn't handle his care, the military was responsible for any bills. This is just ONE of the many situations he had been involved in. I could go on for days!

The Sunshine in Government Initiative (SGI), a coalition of media organizations that includes the Online News Association, the world’s largest membership organization of digital journalists, is asking the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) to reconsider its new Press Lock-ups Policy, which could "inhibit the quality, accuracy and independence of news reporting." Under the DOL’s new policy participants would be required to remove their software, hardware, and dedicated lines from the DOL by June 15, 2012. Reporters would be required to use only government-owned software and hardware. The use of modern news-producing software would be prohibited. All transmission would be via the internet, not via a secure, redundant line. The DOL would own and operate the data lines, internet access and internet connections. As the government grows more concerned about cybersecurity, the proposed policy would create a single point of failure. The letter asks the DOL to reconsider or delay implementing the policy until it receives more input from the public and affected media.
