The United States federal and state governments are not fullfilling their mission to protect the lives of Americans from illness and death by tobacco. Despite the loss of more than 430,000 Americans and more than a million innocent mourners annually the public health funds to reduce the harm from this epidemic are denied while tobacco taxes are increased. The President, congress, state governors and their legislators are asked to redress this unacceptable annual death toll from tobacco by directing that sufficient public health funds from the rising tobacco tax revenue be allocated to the programs and agencies responsible for tobacco harm reduction programs.

Politicians must let the Bush tax cuts expire. Period!

This legislation endangers the core freedoms of the citizens of the United States of America. We must petition our representatives to work to repeal this bill, the President has said that his administration will not act upon any clause that relates to the detainment of U.S. Citizens, however it still leaves room for others to act.

Saving the small American family-owned business from extinction.

The United States Post Office is under attack by corporate interests influencing goverment policies governing the USPS. The USPS is set up for financial failure on mutiple fronts. Some of the most destructive are a mandate to fund retirements of future workers that are not yet hired or born. Also a mandate to carry bulk mail and packages below costs for corporations. And refusal by governing bodies to allow the USPS to grow its business into identified profitable areas in information security. Politicians creating these mandates are catering to the financial interests of corporate carriers to reduce competition which will lead to an increase in prices for the services we all depend upon. Please help save this important American institution so providing information to others is affordable and impartial.

I believe all people running for office, should have to pass a basic appitute test, similar to the sat test students take to enter college. Too many of our present canidates, and also already elected officials, are not competent to do so. These offices are too important and effect too many American lives to have uneducated people holding them. Please pass onto to President Obama.

In September 2011, Governor Christie submitted a request for a federal waiver to the Center of Medicare & Medicaid (CMS) in Washington. He is requesting permission to give New Jersey's precious Medicaid program (the part that covers nursing home care) to private, managed care, for-profit companies. Most Americans are not super-rich, and therefore, depend on Medicaid insurance being there for them in their time of great need when either they or their friends and family need long-term nursing home care. President Obama's phone number is 202-456-1111, and Secretary Sebelius's phone number is 202-205-5445. Call now, as the waiver request is near the end of a 90-day review process, and time is running out. Please tell your friends & family to call too.

Scientists who know, Geologists, are studying the ground water before Fracking starts because they KNOW that it is going to injure the ground water as well as the earth and all who live on it.

Time Warner sends $4.60 a month to MSG for providing the channel. They should not be allowed to keep this money. It belongs to consumers. Further, there was just a seven percent rate increase -- the second in a year. No one believes they are defending the rights of the consumer and trying to keep costs down. This is a dispute between two huge monopoly media companies and the consumer is stuck in the middle with no leverage. ----------------

If you have Medicare and Medicade, you have to have an approved carrier. Well, this year the majority of the carriers have a premium ranging from $0 - $170 and deductibles ranging from $0 - $350. Most of them are $350. The click in all of this great plan is that they can change what you pay month to month for your medicines. In one sixmonth period you pay one amount lower then it changes to 4x the amount in the next six months or it can be staggered in various months over the 12 month period. So basically you really only have two choices to pick from and if you take opiates or any kind of medicines like xanax you can look at spending at least $200 a month just on meds, because some companies tier their meds now, according to President Obama’s plan. So if you have any kind of insurance plan. You really should log on to the website or log on to the Medicare website and double check your options avoid register shock when check out at the pharmacy.
