The interest rates on student loans are very high which makes it hard for students who would like to pay them back after graduation. Instead of making it possible for students to repay the loans by making the payments affordable, companies such as Sallie Mae will give a forbearance during which interest continues to accumulate and is added to your principle which is again charged interest. My loan for $47,000 has an interest of $57,000! The total reaching to over $100,000. Loaning banks should work with us on making payments affordable and have a low interest rate so that most of the payment goes to paying the principle. I don't believe that we can ever pay all out student loans under the current system.

Styrofoam has run its course. There are many other materials that can be used in its place without the toxic side-effects for the planet (such as molded cardboard and corn starch "peanuts", paper plates, paper cups, etc.). Businesses and individuals can use other materials, whether it be for take-out, package insulation, serving drinks or foods warm, etc. If you're looking forward to not having styrofoam floating at the mouths of rivers, in storm drains, or around dumpsters anymore, and if you want to make sure wild animals don't mistake it for food anymore (and of course, there's the ozone hole...), join me to illegalize styrofoam in California.

Maybe you've been there: You're sitting in a bus shelter -- the kinds with seats and roof, sometimes even walls -- and someone else lights up a cigarette. You get to inhale their secondhand smoke, even when it lingers after they've put it out. They tell you they have every right to smoke inside a bus shelter. Maybe they have so far, but we can change that, and have them step far enough away from the shelter that we won't be breathing their secondhand smoke even after they put the cigarette out, we won't still be breathing that smoke.

A 9 year old austic boy was put in a duffel bag by his teacher and put in the hall. Mistreatment of diabled people is far too common, but a child! In school! This teacher needs to be fired and there need to be strict rules in place against this. Read the article on MSN here http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/45770432/ns/us_news-life/ and watch the video.

This week following his endorsement, it was revealed Family Leader CEO Bob Vander Plaats solicited Rick Santorum for money to run advertising on his behalf. Any coordination between a campaign and an outside group is ILLEGAL. Join us and tell the FEC to investigate Vander Plaats for illegal coordination and pay to play politics.

There is no need for the Electoral College anymore. With the age of electronics, this an outdated program and should be put aside. As we review the Electoral College, it was unintended for the old western states, because of the distant to for the settlers to vote and to have their votes counted. Let's be a true democracy, "One man, One vote." Let's repeal this action, cause now the Electoral College, an be use for misuse.
