There was never a public discussion nor a VOTE on the events that initiated the ALTERATION of our FARMLANDS to GMO crops. This ISLAND of KAUAI has been DUPED! OUR health, and the health of our CHILDREN have been DISCARDED as if we were just experimental TRASH! Of all places on EARTH! this is, and has been such a ....(can't find a strong enough word)....as if (and I'm not discounting the idea) that an ALIEN RACE has decided to change us by OUR FOOD! Or, to eliminate us altogether. Sounds pretty nutty doesn't it! KAUAI , at present , is still one of the most beautiful places on our planet....and because a group of obscenely rich industrialists want to "play GOD" with the UNPROVEN chemical genetics of our FOOD....they BOUGHT our local GOVERNMENT, and perhaps more. THIS IS NOT A HUMANE THING, and needs to be STOPPED and REVERSED! ( Why didn't they do this in THEIR BACKYARD) I bet their wives and children would think them CRAZY, and end up in divorce!

Recently, Democrats have accused Republicans of a conducting a war on women. Reintroducing the Equal Rights Amendment via this petition would either make it clear that Republicans are supportive of women or are not. Action on this petition would be a win-win for women and would help women to decide which candidates they might wish to support in 2012 and future elections. If Republican candidates for office support the amendment, more women would realize that Republicans will act in their interests; if these same Republican candidates do not support the amendment, then women would understand that their interests would be protected more effectively by Democrats.

We are starting a store to help develop better values and social behavior in our Black and Latin youth, as well as poor White youth as well... Other ethnic groups welcomed as well...

If Republican policies are so good for the Nation, then why are the Republican administered States the poorest, least educated, and most lacking in health care in the Nation? It's a profoundly simple question that bears asking.

Today, elected officials repeat for political indoctrination purposes statements that are often unproven or untrue. For example, lowering of taxes on high bracket taxpayers create jobs. It is disrespectful to the public for leaders of our country to misrepresent facts so blatantly and without remorse or recourse.

Did you know that those who are living with disabilities are given an opportunity to receive additional income by working part time? The catch is that you cannot make more than $2000 a year. Wow; that's a month's worth a bills so; how can the disabled attempt to do better? Bottom Line.... 1.The disabled should have an option of receiving adequate continuing education/training prior to attempting to gain additional income. 2. The disabled should be allotted $25,000.00 the max gross amount for 4 to 6 years before support termination 3. Adequate Legal Aid should be appointed counsel for the disabled who are seeking independence. What to add something to the list?

A powerful network of right-wing Catholics is trying to ban Archbishop Desmond Tutu from speaking at Gonzaga University next month. Archbishop Tutu, who won the Nobel Peace Prize for his courageous opposition to South African apartheid, is beloved around the world as a powerful voice for peace and justice. But that doesn't matter to the extremists who've been waging a McCarthyist campaign of fear and intimidation on Catholic college campuses across the country. The Cardinal Newman Society, which led the opposition to President Obama's commencement speech at Notre Dame three years ago, is circulating a petition demanding that the President of Gonzaga University disinvite Archbishop Tutu—but so far this time they only have a few hundred signatures. Let's make sure Gonzaga doesn't give in to the Religious Right!

The American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) has helped extremist legislators mass-produce and rush to passage un-Constitutional bills in statehouses across the country, including regressive voter-ID laws, mandatory trans-vaginal ultrasounds and the discredited union-busting legislation in Wisconsin. These laws do not reflect the intentions of the people who elected these representatives and who pay their salaries with their tax dollars. Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Wendy's, Kraft and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation are among those who have already renounced their support of ALEC. We're calling on Verizon to follow suit and help end the unethical influence of multi-national corporations on America's state & local governments.
