The MBTA wants to raise fares. It's been a time of record unemployment, people have been forced out of homes, many have gone bankrupt. Few outside the MBTA Union workers have received 3.5% cost of living increases and pay little toward their health insurance + minor co-pays for health services. The MBTA Board has to go back to the drawing Board for a better solution. Getting more off the backs of seniors + disabled peopkle isn't right.

Taxes,jobs and the economy.

The Oklahoma legislature is facing an agenda packed with urgent issues. Governor Mary Fallin has the opportunity to stand behind the people of Oklahoma on these issues by letting our voices be heard as well. As an Oklahoman, I am calling on our Governor to support our ideas, needs, and wants as if, she herself, was an average citizen.

Harvard study finds nearly 45,000 excess deaths annually linked to lack of health coverage. 60 excess deaths occur in Vermont. http://www.pnhp.org/excessdeaths/excess-deaths-state-by-state.pdf The study found a 40 percent increased risk of death among the uninsured.

All federal 'debt' is a direct result of having to buy money from a privately owned bank deliberately misnamed the "Federal bank." A truly federally owned bank is what we had prior to the 'great depression". The privatization of the federal bank on December 23, 1913 was one of the main causes of the depression.

New Jersey tax the highest property taxes in the country and in some area's taxes have almost doubled in the last 15 years.

Some cities are using mortgage settlement funds which should go to the poor and misplaced for housing, to help banks/lenders demolish 'underwater' houses! This is outrageous. Funds need to be directed to those who were/are foreclosure victims, to obtain housing they can afford!

As a group, large Corporations spend billions of dollars on advertising on the premise that we will buy into their products/services simply by "hitting" us over the head until we become brainwashed by their message (think Coca-Cola). Usually, the products that we buy are inferior to their smaller competitors in the marketplace. These smaller companies have much smaller advertising budgets, so are "drowned out" in today's noisy, relentless struggle for the consumers attention and subsequent hard earned cash. It's time a level playing field was introduced based on creativity and ingenuity... Products should be judged by their stand-alone quality, not available advertising $$$, equally pitted against one another just as true Capitalism originally intended. This would ensure that inferior products would be marginalized and superior ones would serve their consumers. Survival of the fittest, not the diabolically sweetest (think Coca-Cola).

The Complications from high untreated blood sugars are very costly: Blindness,Kidney Failure,gangrene from an untreated cut or scratch that does not heal because of the high sugars,this can lead to amputation and long,expensive hospital stays! Low blood sugars can lead to a person passing out, High sugars can lead to DKA (Diabetic Keto Acidosis) that usually requires inpatient treatment after a trip to the Emergency Room!! The Omni Pod is a tubeless pump that is easy to use and allows one to manage their Blood Sugars much better! This Petition is to have Congress l"LEAVE MEDICARE and SOCIAL SECURITY ALONE!" and allow us the great benefits of the Omni Pod. The Congress needs to change the wording on the Omni Pod to make it a durable item! They also need to change the Code numbers that they have assigned: Pod A 9274 and PDME 0784! to code numbers that make the Omni Pod a durable item! This will be a lot less costly than Medicare having to cover complications that could have easily been prevdented!
