I recently learned from a friend in Australia that voting is required there. If one fails to vote, a fine is imposed. ( I had an "AHA" moment - of course, everyone should be required to vote in a democracy in order to assure that the will of the people is carried out.) It certainly would lessen the chance that obstacles could be created to keep minorities/ the poor/ the young from voting.

A new book has been published, revealing what most of us knew;THE Republicans has planned to stop the Presidents agenda even during his inauguration, halting the most basic needs of our citizens, such as health care, Medicare, Medicaid, jobs and now talks about cutting food stamps and other social programs that benefit the less fortunate, while at the same time, the REPUBLICAN PARTY, doesn't want millionaires and billionaires to pay equal amounts on taxes as the middle class. The REPUBLICANS allow corporations to fraudulently use loopholes to dodge paying taxes. I want to get rid of as many of the house REPUBLICANS as possible, as many of the REPUBLICAN SENATORS as possible and DEMOCRATIC SENATORS who has a tendency to vote with them. We also need to squash the TEA PARTY and send them back to the 1950s AMERICA. It's a shame the the REPUBLICANS launched such a divisive campaign, before PRESIDENT OBAMA got his foot in the door.

people should sign my petition because the whole idea of medically unnecessary vaginal probes is really an outrage.

The number of doctor errors resulting in death is reported as approximately 200,000 per year. (In the US). The number of unreported doctor error is just that, unknown to the general public. It undoubtedly is far greater than the reported cases. Why should the public care? Because next time it may be someone in your family or perhaps yourself. Government Agencies set up to monitor these medical practitioners often act as excuse rs of these incompetent individuals. Most of the reported errors result from non technical problems such as failure to wash hands. This problem was highlighted in the early 1800's by a doctor Ignaz Semmelelwis, in a era before the germ theory was made known by doctor Louis Pasteur. These number if they represented war casualties would result in the surrender flag being hoisted. The book entitled "Coronary" by Stephen Klaidman gives an example of crass human greed by two doctors at the Redwood hospital in Redwood city California. These two "created" heart problems where none existed. Cracked open healthy individual's chests and gave them heart bypass surgery. Some 'patients' were too healthy and were simply sewed back up. They had an outstanding record of successful heart by-pass surgery, especially for such as small hospital. For this criminal activity, when finally exposed they were forced into retirement in Redwood City where they live today. No jail time. My own involvement with this situation began with my wife's death at the hands of her personal physician, (name withheld), who refused her any help whatsoever when she visited him for care following her emergency room examination.

Two weeks ago our house was burglarized. Jewelry, Credit Cards and a Social Security Card were stolen. The jewelry is gone for good, the credit cards were cancelled but when I asked Social Security to issue you me a new number they said I have to prove fraud before they will change it? When I heard that I could not belive it. So some thief can screw with my identity, try to collect on my taxes , open acccounts. Identiy theft is rampant but this was Social Securities Answer!

We no longer need "delegates" to ride their horses to a pre-determined location and cast a vote for all the folks back home. Many voters feel disenfranchised today and believe that their vote does not count and therefore, do not vote. It's time to scrap the delgates and make every vote count by electing all public servents by popular vote.

Because fracking has been linked to various cancers-including ovarian and testicular, spontaneous abortion, and air and water pollution, we must ban the practice. Like nuclear power, it is not viable without massive government subsidies. The clean-up bills should not be left to taxpayers!
