Revamping how the Illinois Department of Corrections spends our tax dollars. There is a lot of frivolous spending in all departments going on. School teachers gt paid not to come to work and everything is monopolized and the IDOC receives a kickback.

It's time that the University of Delaware and the Delaware State University provide more transparency on how they operate. The days of avoiding Freedom of Information Act requests by making decisions that affect the public in standing committees should end.

Take the pledge to be a positive force in the world of violence prevention.

This bill is HUGE in eliminating puppy mills and their aftermath. Once a USDA breeder in the state of Iowa either gives up or loses their license, they currently have no obligation to do anything for or with their remaining animals. County law enforcement currently has little ability to enforce any processes that would prevent neglect due to concerns about costs to the county. This bill would remove cost as a factor in law enforcement involvement, requiring any state or USDA licensed commercial breeder to file evidence of financial responsibility in the form of a surety bond or irrevocable letter of credit issued by a financial institution. These funds would be used to cover the costs associated with the rescue of the animals, should that become necessary. The same rights were given to agriculture animals through SF478 in the Iowa Senate just last year.

I, a citizen of Wake County, oppose Amendment One- the constitutional amendment to ban gay and lesbian couples from ever gaining marriage equality. It would harm hundreds of thousands of children, families, unmarried couples, and seniors.

Virginia is voting this week on a bill that would required that any woman seeking a procedural or chemical abortion, even those who are pregnant due to rape or incest, go through a transvaginal ultrasound. This procedure would require that a device is inserted into the woman's vagina. I am saddened to hear that the state's legislature is voting on a bill that would violate women in this way.

Every member of Congress makes more money than they are worth. To be truly representative of their constituents, their pay should be lowered and they should not have the ability to give themselves raises at taxpayer expense.

Gay marriage ! and stop discrimination !

cut all paid health insurance to state legislators.If maine can't afford coverage for maine residents it certainly can't afford to pay or coverage for afulent politicians.

Our lawmakers are taking funds that educate our children and giving these funds to corporations. We will continue to lose teachers and damage our school children 's future if lawmakers continue to cut education funding!

The General Assembly is poised to mandate transvaginal ultrasound before allowing a woman to have an abortion. As a part of this legislation the fertilized egg will be deemed a person. This is a smoke screen in their march to overturn Roe v Wade transvaginal untrasound before a woman can get an abortion
