The U.S. Supreme Court is hearing legal challenges to the Affordable Care Act this week. A decision to overturn the law or any of its provisions could result in the loss of benefits to seniors, women, children and families. Recently, Attorney General Cuccinelli stated that unless there are criminal penalties, he would be comfortable breaking the law by not implementing the health care law —regardless of what the Supreme Court decides. After the embarrassment over his global warming lawsuit against UVA professors, we would have thought that the Attorney General would lick his wounds and lay low for a while. But he is continuing his crusade against the health care law. Since the Affordable Care Act was signed into law on March 23, 2010, Attorney General Cuccinelli has consistently opposed the new law with several lower court challenges. Instead of fighting foreclosure fraud and holding big banks accountable, Attorney General Cuccinelli has wasted time and taxpayer dollars fighting a law which already provides free preventive care, protection against discrimination based on pre-existing conditions, help with prescription drug costs, and a ban on lifetime coverage limits to hundreds of thousands of Virginians. And make no mistake about it; he has the full support of Governor Bob McDonnell. In fact, the Governor has found his own way to block the health care law by calling on the General Assembly to halt implementation of the Health Benefits Exchange—a critical part of the Affordable Care Act. Attorney General Cuccinelli calls his blocking of the health care law a “power struggle” between himself and the federal government. We call it: playing politics with the health care of millions of Virginians. And we want it to stop.

CHILDREN RIGHTS

MANY AMERICANS DIE EVERY DAY BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE, THEY CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE PREVENTIVE CARE, AND WHEN THEY ARE SICK NEED TO GO TO EMERGENCY CARE, SOMETIMES TOO LATE, AND IS MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE. NO OTHER DEVELOPED COUNTRY IN THE WORLD HAS ITS POPULATION WITHOUT HEALTH INSURANCE. THE REPUBLICANS AND HEALTH CARE CORPORATIONS ARE SPENDING MILLIONS TO REPEAL OBAMACARE, WHICH WILL PROVIDE AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE FOR THOSE 40 MILLIONS FELLOW AMERICANS.

Shouldn't you know if chemicals in your child's shampoo cause brain damage? I didn't know dioxane, found in Johnson & Johnson's baby shampoo was a carcinogen and they are not required to tell me. Health ratings of products are available, however, and Amazon should integrate them into the buying process. Problem: Toxic chemicals, such as neurotoxins (hurt the brain) and carcinogens (cancer-causing) are routinely put into personal care products such as soaps and cosmetics. There is little (if any) regulation requiring companies to remove toxic chemicals or disclose them. Here is a cartoon explaining some of the problem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=pfq000AF1i8 The Solution: GoodGuide.com provides the world’s largest and most reliable source of information on the health, environmental, and social impacts of consumer products. GoodGuide's team of scientists rates consumer products along the following scales: health, environment, and social impact. They then provide scores so that consumers can easily figure out what products align with their health, environmental and social concerns. As the worlds largest online retailer they can easily integrate with rating databases, achieve huge impact, and set a new standard for retail. Thanks!

Gov Christie wants to force the merger of Rutgers/Camden with Rowan University depriving the city of Camden of a valuable asset, students and alumni of their identity, all to further his own political agenda

cookies taste good

Being a concerned senior citizen (age 90), I am keenly aware of the agenda Gov. Christie has in mind that will infringe on my well being: ie., the issuing of school vouchers; negative health-care adjustments; the curtailing of funding for teachers and librarians that will result in job loss and will certainly affect the future of my grandchildren and great-gramdchildren!

All over the world, people want to flip someone off. This petition was created so for those who can't.

Please help to bring back this program & get our governor to do her job and provide an option for those who do not qualify for Ahccs in AZ.
