The Tennessean, Mar. 19, 2012: "Doctors who perform abortions in Tennessee could see their names listed online, and women who undergo the procedures could be unintentionally identified under a bill pending in the state legislature." The Life Defense Act of 2012, or House Bill 3808, flies in the face of every health privacy law that exists. It has no purpose other than to intimidate and threaten. Doctors and patients could be exposed to serious threats or danger. This bill must be stopped.

Glyphosate is a chemical that is used in many herbicides, but scientists are now finding that glyphosate is toxic and tied to a number of serious health-related issues, including birth defects and infertility. The wide-spread use of glyphosate is contaminating our water and our food, affecting both those that consume glyphosate-treated products and those that do not.

Below is the link to a list of the legislators who have signed a document pledging their loyalty to Grover Norquist and his organization rather than to the people who put them in office. This is one of the main reasons our Government is not governing. Regardless of political views, it is offensive to all voters that these elected officials should sign any pledge that effectively cuts off their ability to put their constituents first. Look to see if your legislator signed away your trust @ www.atr.org under the 'Pledge' tab @ the top of the page.

With Gas Prices reaching a level that could slow the progress of our economy, raising gas tax in MD would only make it worse on families/individuals in MD already struggling. If the legislature and the Governor can wait for the next budget cycle, that would be best.

DemocracyPlusPlus.com is attempting to facilitate a more personal and accessible civil discourse between citizens and candidates for, or holders of elected office. We plan on using a combination of live video streaming with a one-time-use login for individuals to pose questions, then vote for those questions that they feel should be asked. Our hope is that these debates and question-answer sessions will foster a greater interest in politics among citizens and lessen the gap between holders of public servants and those they serve. We create these petitions on behalf and at the request of individuals and concerned voters. To request a petition, visit democracyplusplus.org/petition.html

U.S. Bank, headquartered in Minneapolis is one of the largest lenders / loan servicers for home mortgages in the state of Minnesota.

Rush Limbaugh's blatant verbal assault on university student Sandra Fluke, during which he called her a slut and asked her to make a sex video, is not to be tolerated. Radio stations nationwide are canceling Limbaugh's show; let's let KLBM La Grande know that we want him removed from the air immediately.

The solution for the financial problems of the post office lies not in cutting workers pay and benefits nor to decrease the number of postal employees It lies in people in Congress to realize that the economic health of the country depends upon workers being employed at a living wage and fair compensation for injuries acquired at work.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09ybkkiH2Ho&context=C4f61fefADvjVQa1PpcFMDznQSUqPR7MPPjY9cWEGLnbut2AhABNU This country doesn't need Bills such as HR2309. It doesn't need more unemployed workers or workers not being paid a "living wage"

Protecting women's rights and civil liberties is very important at this time in our country. Healthcare is of paramount concern. Across the country states are halting funding to organizations that provide critical services to women. It is very alarming that a women's right to birth control is being threatened. If you are concerned that many government officials want to set women's rights back 30 years, please sign this petition.

STOP chipping away at the little gains that the 99% are trying to survive on. You refuse to place the blame for these deficits where they belong. Those who make over $250 thousand and upwards. Yet you attempt to persecute average working poor and those young people who want to attend college, seniors and low to middle income families. Enough is Enough. Get out of our pockets and go after the deep pockets they the money we don't.

We have been demanding reform on student loans, and on March 8, Rep Hansen Clarke (D-MI) introduced The Student Loan Forgiveness Act of 2012 (H.R. 4170). This is the government's chance to prove they care about financial fairness in higher education. We are calling on our U.S. Representatives to show their support and push the bill beyond committee.

Rush Limbaugh's reprehensible attack on Sandra Fluke, the college student who spoke to Congress about women's reproductive rights, calling her a slut and a prostitute and asking her to make a sex video, should be the end of his on-air career. He has in the past attacked African-Americans, Latinos, and other minorities and it is time for him to stop doing so. Let's convince KTSM AM 690 to kick him off the air in El Paso, TX. El ataque verbal de Rush Limbaugh en el radio contra Sandra Fluke, fue reprensible. Ella es una estudiante de universidad que fue a hablar sobre los derechos de la mujer sobre su cuerpo a el Congreso de los Estados Unidos. Limbaugh la llamo ramera y prostituta y le pidio que hiziera un video pornografico. Esto deberia ser el fin de su carrera como locutor. En el pasado el ha insultado a Afro - Americanos, Latinos, y otras minorias de Estados Unidos y es tiempo que deje de hacerlo. Hay que convenser a KTSM AM 690 la estacion de radio en El Paso Texas que lo quite de su programacion.
