Rush Limbaugh has gone too far this time. He has always been a racist, misyginist, and fear monger for years, but this is too much.

H.R. 3553, the Genetically Engineered Food Right to Know Act has been referred to the House Committee on Agriculture. Typically, online alerts would ask us to contact our own reps for support. This way, we can address the committee Chair. We want this bill heard because we affirm the freedom to choose whether foods we are asked to consume contain GMOs or not. Will the US grant the freedom to label GMOs to any other country via the WTO, and not its own citizens?

According to the Energy Information Administration, the supply of oil and gasoline is greater today than it was three years ago. The demand for oil in the U.S. is at its lowest level since April of 1997. According to a report by Goldman Sachs, a major oil speculator, Forbes magazine said excessive oil speculation adds $.56 to the price of a gallon of gas. Exxon Mobil, the Saudi Arabian government, the American Trucking Association, Delta Airlines, the Petroleum Marketers Association of America and the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis agree excessive oil speculation significantly increases oil and gasoline prices.

Governor McDonald would mandate that an abortion provider perform an ultrasound on each woman seeking an abortion, and require the provider to offer the woman the opportunity to view the image. Forcing providers to perform this invasive, traumatizing procedure on a woman who has the ability and the constitutional right to make her own decisions about her body is a brazen violation of personal freedoms.

Jack's Meat Market on Derbigny St and Mandeville St allows public drinking, loitering, drug dealing and other activities that have negative affects to our community. Their operation helps enable crime in our neighborhood.

For kids they need to have some non school days to spend the time with parents. I hope many will sign.

We all know the horrible, misogynist, sexist diatribe launched at law student Sandra Fluke, calling her, over 3 days, both a "slut" & a "prostitute"; even getting so depraved as to demand on his radio show that, if the government would subsidize the cost of her (or any womans, for that matter) contraception, that she should be forced to post video of herself having sex on the Internet (said like a true "john", if you ask me)! He needs to both loose his sponsors and be banned from the air.

Rick Scott is cutting back on security at all Florida Rest Areas effective March 11, 2012. As part of his budget cutting policies, Rick Scott will reduce the armed security officer presence at all Rest Areas. He is changing the two single guard shifts from 4pm-8am to a single guarded shift from 8pm-6am. This one guard will work a ten hour shift and will switch sides every 45 minutes. On I-10 this will effectively leave the East and West Rest Areas unguarded for 5 hours during the night. The ten hour security shifts affect all the Rest Areas in Florida. Why risk public safety and tourism. The savings will not even make a dent in the state's budget deficit. More lost jobs will not help the state's economy.

This bill is seen by education experts as a devious and underhanded attack on your local public schools and hardworking teachers. Every credible parent group in Florida, including the PTA, is opposed to this bill because it will ultimately hurt students. In fact, this bill will only help private education companies and corporations who want to force taxpayers to pay them to run “for-profit” unaccountable charter schools. These schools are not held to the same standards as public schools. Even worse, the corporate lobbyists who are promoting this legislation were caught misleading the public and Legislators by saying parents support this bill. That is a lie. Again, every parent group in Florida opposes this “parent trigger” bill.

Federal Restricted Buildings and Grounds Improvement Act of 2011, or H.R. 347, is a bill that seems to be designed to outlaw protests near government buildings and restrict the Constitutionally protected right of American citizens to petition the government for a redress of their grievances. This bill is in direct violation of the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America. The First Amendment states in concise language that: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." As of March 1st, 2012, the bill has been passed to President Barack Obama to be signed into law or vetoed. According to the laws of the legislative process, the President has 10 days to sign or veto the bill. Please, President Obama, honor your Presidential Oath, protect the Constitution and veto this bill.
