To be delivered also to: Powys County Council, the Brecon Beacons National Park Planning Authority and the Welsh Assembly Government. We are convinced that a new second supermarket will detrimentally affect the economy of Hay-on-Wye’s small, and as yet intact Market Town. There are other proven and viable options to funding Hay-on-Wye’s proposed and much needed new school, and we are pursuing these with vigour as alternatives. However, there are just 1250 registered voters in Hay-on-Wye. We are a tiny, intact community with a fragile market and tourist economy - and no chain stores. Our High Street is precious and unique. We need your help to preserve it, and our way of life, now a rarity in Great Britain. Within a 4 mile radius of Hay-on-Wye, we delivered 3000 questionnaires (2 per household) to our local community and we now know that: 82% Agree that a new second supermarket will result in shops and local suppliers closing 75% Agree that a new second supermarket will result in people losing jobs 70% Agree that a new second supermarket will have a negative environmental impact on our town Please can you help us in our battle with big business over democracy? We cannot do this alone, we are just too small. DO PLEASE sign our petition…….! Many thanks

when asking for my support as a candidate for any office I will only vote for a candidate who is interested in finding common ground and working to remedy our problems and defend our constitutional rights. i will not vote for anyone who pledges to put his party or any narrow ideology before the needs of the nation and the people.

Research shows 90% of news/talk is conservative and 10% is progressive. When progressive talk KLSD-AM (Air America) in San Diego was considering changing formats in 2007, the devoted listenership rallied and petitioned, but Clear Channel changed the format anyway. The listeners were devastated, and continue to have no access to liberal views on local, terrestrial radio. This is the case in many places in America. Radio stations are supposed to serve the public interest in exchange for their free licenses, access to our publically owned airwaves. The FCC has a mandate to ensure radio is competitive with diverse, local content but it is shirking its responsiblity to the detriment of our democracy. Furthermore, the Congress and President Clinton made a grave error in 1996 with the passage of the Telecommunications Act which allowed corporations to own an unlimited number of radio stations. To understand what happened, see the new documentary films, Save KLSD: Media Consolidation and Local Radio" and "Broadcast Blues".

Military retirement pay is being taxed at an astounding rate by the Federal Government. I don't believe that military retirement pay should be taxed by either the Federal, State or Local Governments.

In 1983 the Iranian government directed terrorists to do something "spectacular" against the Marines on a peacekeeping mission in Beirut. It resulted in the Marine Barracks bombing—killing 241 American Marines. In 2002, the survivors and families of the fallen Marines won a judgment against Iran for $2.6 billion. Recently, investigators found $1.8 billion of Iran's money in a frozen bank account in the United States. We have two choices: 1) Pass HR 4070 and S 2101 allowing these funds to settle the judgment in favor of our Marines OR 2) Send the $1.8 billion back to the Iranian government to use for more terrorism YOUR CHOICE— Sign this petition, and call your Congressman (1-202-224-3121) to pass HR 4070 and S 2101. Thank you.

Las Brisas wants to build a toxic waste incinerator that will increase area pollution by 80 percent. Area medical societies argued that this plant will harm the public's health, particularly that of young children and the elderly. Signing this petition to the EPA will encourage that agency to refuse Las Brisas an operating permit because it will not comply with the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act.

We the People wrote the U.S. Constitution, and it's time we remember we can amend it.

We are Americans and this is our nation, our home. Power has been taken away from us through money and politics. When we see such anomalies as the Citizens United decision and the equating of 'money as speech' by our highest court, we know it is time to clean house and take back control of our government. We know it is time to take money entirely out of politics.

It's time to begin a War on Ignorance in America. We call on the US Congress and President Obama to marshall the forces of the US Government to raise the level of education, public discourse, and respect for intelligence in this country and worldwide. Makes more sense than a war on terror...

This slowly recovering economy has left many college grads with school loans to pay, garnished wages, and bad credit reports with very little job opportunities to prevent inevitable poverty to those who were just trying to earn a better life. Lenders, like Sallie Mae, are relentless in their efforts to take anything they can and this problem is causing permanent financial hardship for individuals that deserve better than this for their efforts.

When you receive SS, you are being paid one month late. (i.e. if you receive a check on 05/03/12, that is payment for the month of April.) If YOU DIE in April, EVEN ON THE LAST DAY OF THE MONTH, SS will take back the payment you were to receive in may. THIS IS STEALING!
