DID YOU KNOW? The FAU Board of Trustees intends to close the Fort Lauderdale campus in order to save a mere 1.9 million. This amount could easily be made up by adding high demand courses to the campus. The FAU administration and Board of Trustees is consolidating academic programs on the Boca campus ultimately removing the presence of the designated lead state university for Broward County. The legislative money allocated to Broward County is being used to support the Palm Beach campuses. Nine hundred undergraduate and graduate students take classes on the downtown campus in professional disciplines including: Architecture Communication (Film, Video, Journalism, Animation, New Media) Graphic Design Urban & Regional Planning The faculty, staff, and students bring a dynamic presence to the downtown area. The Florida Public Archeology Network, Outward Bound, and Small Business Development Center also make their home at the FAU downtown campus.

The bill would give water rights that currently fall under native control to the power industry, and leave huge portions of both Navajo and Hopi peoples without any water access. They will have no way to water livestock, meaning that this bill will be a death sentence for thousands of sheep, goats, horses, and cows. Their way of life and livelihood depends on sheep, so this bill is an act of genocide.

The current gun control legislation seems to be designed by gun advocates, and fortified by their financial investment in, and lobbying of congressmen. We believe the citizens should be allowed to decide this issue, as they are the ones adversely affected by the unfettered, poorly regulated use of these lethal weapons. We request a national referendum on gun control.

With all this talk about cutting into State worker's and now Railroad worker's pension funds to feed the political machine, the question must arise: What about Politician's pensions? Anyone in the workforce, be it State, Union, or otherwise, pays into their own pension fund which they can not draw from until they reach retirement age. This is NOT an entitlement for them. Politicians, on the other hand, receive a lifetime pension for serving a single term (4 to 6 years in most cases) which is funded solely on our tax dollars! It is time we stand up and demand that these "public servants" give up their pensions first!

Schools all across our nation are refusing to let specially educated students (Children with down syndrome in particular) actively participate in sporting events. "We the People" are here to stand up for our nations next generations.

He was Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman...only he was at home being attacked by an armed man...and won...and have been wrongfully persecuted every since...was Ihe suppose to lose and lose his life to be afforded his legal and constitutional rights why is he not the victim...?

In the center raging unemployment, the Federal Government is in conflict with itself! The plight of the long-term Unemployed seeking jobs face a new barrier to employment, its own Government! Various Federal Government Jobs are now requiring positive Credit scores as a part of eligibility for the job during the background check.

A man on food stamps with a toothache pointed out a terrible irony: He can buy soda with food stamps, but not a toothbrush and tooth paste! We all agree: Health care costs are too high, the deficit is too big, taxes are too high, government should cut wasteful spending. Here's an idea: "Think Small." If Congress makes one simple change, it could greatly improve the health of many Americans. It's this: Congress, STOP ALLOWING food stamps to be used for soda; DO ALLOW food stamps to be used for toothpaste and toothbrushes. Soda is not even a food; it is the opposite of nutritious and has been linked to 10 diseases: 1. Extra pounds/obesity* 2. Liver damage/ increased risk for liver cirrhosis 3. Tooth decay (liquid sugar is even worse for teeth than candy) 4. Kidney stones and chronic kidney disease 5. Diabetes 6. Heartburn and acid reflux 7. Soft Bones = osteoporosis 8. Hypertension (high blood pressure) It doesn't matter if the soda is regular or diet. 9. Heart disease/metabolic syndrome 10. Impaired digestion (GI distress) *Note: Artificial sweeteners in diet soda also induce physiologic and hormonal responses causing weight gain. Diet soda is no more a "food" than regular soda.

Drug trafficer Burns executed FHP Trooper during traffic stop on I-75 in Manatee County, Fl. On 8-18-87. Burns was carrying cash of cocaine north. Found guilty of murder, he is still alive on death row... WHY???

To have the student loan forgiveness act passed to relieve debt of student through Wi and the entire USA.

We can scale the multiplier from the local level to the highest office. For example if a govenor of a state is found guilty of a crime committed while in office the multiplier can be 1.1, a senator 1.5, the president 2.0.

Justices Scalia & Thomas have lost their right to remain on the Supreme Court. They have become mouth pieces for the Koch Brothers and the Tea Party. They can't ajudicate any issue with any pretense of neutrality.
