We object to the Seattle School Board’s proposal to place portable classrooms on the grounds at Maple Elementary for the 2012-2013 school year and beyond. We are currently the only Level 5, Title I school in the Seattle School District, and that is in no small part due to our cohesive scheduling that gives our teachers ample time to plan together and collaboratively. Further placing portables on our campus very much goes against the very open-concept classroom principles under which we plan, we operate, and thus, we succeed; portables on our campus would undoubtedly undermine the progress we have made and the potential success that our future holds. We call on the School Board to stand with Maple and help it continue its success, not hinder it.

Facebook has been flagging pictures of placentas as offensive, and deleting them. While placentas may not be as physically beautiful as the babies they are attached to, they deserve respect, and should not be deemed offensive. Placentas give life, and we need to see them to appreciate them!

Whether it's Newt Gingrich's poverty "code" about janitors or Rick Santorum saying nothing while a racist Florida woman tried to delegitimize President Obama by calling him a "Muslim," Republicans have either used, or allowed to be used, the Birther movement, and other thinly veiled or openly racist statements to garner votes of white voters afraid of minorities. We want each candidate to make a public statement that they will disavow use of racism, racial code, and also take to task any event guest, support group like a SuperPAC, campaign staff, or party operative using race for political gain. These candidates want to be president of ALL of the people of the United States. They need to defend ALL of the citizens of this country, even during the day-in, day-out of their campaigns.

On January 24, 2012, The Pennsylvania House of Representatives unanimously passed H.R. 535, a non-binding resolution declaring 2012 "The Year of the Bible." The resolution states that we have a "national need to study and apply the holy scriptures," a position which clearly favors Christianity over other religions and violates the separation of church and state as protected by the Constitution of the United States. As a Pennsylvanian, I wish to make clear that I do NOT support the Bible as the preferred state religious text, and I oppose the passage of a state resolution that formally declares the Bible as the word of God and asserts that strengthening of our nation occurs by "renewing our knowledge of and faith in God through holy scripture." H.R. 535 is not only unconstitutional, it ignores and devalues the great diversity of peoples and religions which actually constitute the state of Pennsylvania. This resolution, even though it is non-binding, sends a message about citizenship and belonging to Christians and non-Christians alike. This message about whose beliefs are legitimate in the eyes of the state is especially dangerous in our current climate of anti-Islamic rhetoric and strengthened federal powers of detention. H.R. 535 positions the state to take future action limiting freedom of religious expression and persecuting those who disagree with state-approved religion. I urge Pennsylvania's House of Representatives to repeal H.R. 535.

It Is to count the president votes only. Making votes from one state worth more that a vote from another state. It Is time to have one Vote count the same. One vote, one person all votes count. In more than one election the person running for President won the popular vote and lost the election ? This makes NO sense... We are the only place in the world, That can happen. We mush change this law.

Patients need the unique medicine that can do what other prescriptions cannot do. Legalize Medicinal Marijuana!

This is about an over zelous city goverment that has removed people from their homes on a false evalution of their properties. This is about The City of Bridgeports tax assessment scheme of evaluating property without doing an independant appraisal. This is about GREED. People all over America are fed up with it.

It has been noted lately the huge amount of profits Apple has made in the past couple years and the almost $100 Billion in cash reserves the company now has. Apple has done not only through innovation but through exploitation of the Chinese people.
