With so many options within the realm of Energy products, wouldn't it make sense for the college campus stores to provide choices, which were actually healthy for their students? Instead of the high caffeine and sugar laden drinks which are currently available, there are healthy, energy-boosting, vitamin supplements which utilize antioxidants and amino acids to boost energy, enhance brain alertness, and improve immune health. Healthy energy products are the best long-term study aids available! Please ask UC Berkeley Cal Dining to make healthier energy supplement choices available.

The protected categories for federal contractors include sex, race, veterans & Hispanic surname. Statistics show that people over 50 are spending more than twice as long between jobs as the youngest members of the job pool, with the amount of time between jobs going up steadily with age. There is an assumption that older people or more experienced people are more expensive, but this is not necessarily true. Older job applicants need protection. If being over 50 were added to the protected classes for federal contractors, this would be a first step.

The media is controlled by big corporations and should be fair and balanced. We need to bring in legislation to stop bias.

An African American young female is shot and killed by a white boy who claims it was an accident. Why wasn't he arrested? Why wasn't he charged and let a jury of his peers decide his innocence or guilt? What kind of world are we living in that every time you open the newspaper or turn on the news, an african american is being killed by a caucasion and not charged or arrested, but if this was a white female killed in front of her home by a black male he would have been arrested, charged and 95% convicted of something!

Sen. Paul Ryan is proposing broad changes for Railroad Retirement. I am asking or maybe demanding that he stay away from any changes to Railroad Retirement.

In the wake of the Treyvon Martin case and several instances of abuse of authority have come to light.

Elected officials, and specifically members of congress, must be held to higher standards of conduct than those of elementary school children.

Because (most) members of Congress and the Supreme Court have become so removed from the many struggles of everyday Americans (in this case, specifically health care), it is our duty to remind them how that struggle feels. As such, their taxpayer funded health insurance should be rescinded, and they should be required to fully pay for that healthcare themselves.

California debt and bond reform

Surely in this day and age we can see what works best . Would the congress take a keener look ,if their health coverage was either paid for from their own pockets, or was as good as the least well covered from their constituency.

It is about helping seniors become more secure by being able to use their 401K's to pay off 1st mortgages at a much reduced capitol gains tax rate. It would free up much money to the banks and at the same time be veiwed as giving a break to seniors who have kept their mortgage contract agreement. Up until now the only ones given a break are the banks. Freeing up much money should spur more competition amongst lenders which should lower interest rates. This would also help seniors with medical expences.

Stabilize America. Make roads safer. http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJM199810153391617 Save Fuel: Daylight Saving increases gasoline consumption, something the petroleum industry has known since 1930. Less Heart Attacks And Fatal Collisions, according to , Charles Czeisler, M.D. Ph.D., of Harvard University, "We may not worry about cutting just one hour of sleep, he explains, but, as you'll hear in the video, "springing forward" significantly increases the risk of fatal car crashes and heart attacks." http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03/11/daylight-saving-time-health_n_1327202.html According to Gwen Dewer, Phd: "In 2009, German researchers published a study measuring daytime sleepiness in adolescents before and after the shift to DST. Not surprisingly, kids reported more daytime sleepiness the day after they set their clocks forward, and “night owls” had the most trouble. But here’s what’s interesting. The effect didn’t last for just a day or two. These kids suffered from the negative effects of daylight saving time for two weeks. What does this mean? The researchers figure that “class and school performance tests should not take place in the first week(s) after the transition into DST.” And if we we’re concerned about the effects of daytime sleepiness on adolescent test performance, what about the rest of it? What about learning new things in the classroom? Making everyday decisions? Getting along with your friends and family? Handling emotionally difficult events? We know that sleeplessness impacts all of those things, for kids and adults. If daylight saving time can disrupt our sleep patterns for up to two weeks, how much trouble does that cause altogether?" http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=7779869 And the list goes on.
