The so called "PATRIOT ACT" goes against everything this country stands for and the founding fathers visions, the Bill of Rights and we believe it to be an act of treason. The Declairation of Independence used some strong language. Strong language is needed now. Sacrificing our Liberty for a small measure of safety, we deserve neither. The PATRIOT ACT should be repealed and it's authors held accountable for this ball and chain.

This is to prevent the opening of slaughter houses that President Obama has given the go ahead to re -establish and to put a halt to horses being transported to Mexico and Canada to the processing plants. The slaughter houses are being re-opened to provide employment and the meat sent overseas to Japan and France . The medications our horses have had throughout their lifetimes renders them unfit for human consumption. Tax the !% and hold our corporations accountable, enforce them to make jobs available for Americans not Mumbai, China etc, bring back our jobs from abroad . It's criminal to kill when the solution of unemployment lies with government and corporate greed.The bill passed to re-open slaughter houses is totally bogus. Please don't murder our four legged friends who have fought on the front lines , transported caskets for our fallen soldiers , plowed our fields, carried us along in carts, made us cash winnings at the races and generally given us all round pleasure . Our horses don't die instantly at slaughter , they endure extreme terror and torture . Lets not allow such cruelty. Surely we are not a nation of such insanity . .

Many people are finding that they have to take care of an elderly parent or handicapped child and cannot work while doing this. They will lose jobs, homes, status and their ability to also take care of themselves. I have a masters degree, but my mom who is 90 years old has many problems and cannot take care of herself. I don't have any income. She only gets $374 in social security and that's not enough to maintain our home and I know several other people in the same position. Congress should address this by providing some type of assistance to those in theses types of situations.

Oil companies are subsidized by taxpayers while earning record billion dollar profits. Why? On average, the big 5 oil companies averaged 100 billion a year over the last 10 years! This corporate welfare has to stop immediately.

Legislators in WI should no longer be provided with premium healthcare coverage, premium retirement benefits and premium salaries at WI taxpayers' expense until ALL citizens in WI have decent paying jobs with decent benefits.

The only bi-partisan bill passed by Congress and signed by President Obama allows for the slaughter of horses for consumption. These animals are not bred for food. These compatriots helped us settle this country pulling wagons, plowing fields, carrying the mail, herding cattle and charging with us into battle. These animals are highly intelligent, communicating by telepathy. We are losing horses, polar bears, sea otters, seals, tigers, elephants, big apes. If you care about animals, stop the gratuitious slaughter of horses.

A multimillion dollar Federal Complaint lawsuit along with a Petition for Rule to Show Cause et al., was filed against the Political Machine in Illinois. Judge Darrah used his position and authority to protect the related conspirators, by dismissing the complaint saying their was no complaint filed (11 CV 6887).

On November 30, 2011 approximately 200 Occupiers were in arrested in Los Angeles. Their bail is set at a whopping $5,000! This is outrageously high and unjust. Why is it set so high? Please sign the petition and demand that the bail be lowered ASAP.

The Tennessee Medical State Health Board, illegally recieved medical records and the Board Members conspired with Lifepoint Hospital to suspend my medical licence. They used "experts' who were not qualified to be experts, because they themselves were under investegation, by the same medical board. Lifepoint Hospitals have allowed physicians who were hurting, maming and killing patients in order to keep profits up. Lifepoint Hospitals corrupt the government and use illegal process and any means necessary to eliminate competition. The Medical board sent its investagators to my place of employment to harass me and my employers. In ten years of investegation they have not been able to come up with one case of negligence or malpractice! Their actions are totally illegal and the State Court and Supreme Court refuse to evaluate the lack of due process and illegality of the medical board. I have asked the State Attorney General to investegate,but get no response.My life has been destroyed because of my ethnicity and my objections to poor medical care at expense of poor people. As a result I went through a divorce and the Judge who was corrupt incarcerated my attorney without trial, and then intimidated and coerced me, giving my ex-wife an asset to which she has no contribution and did not deserve under statutory law. The twenty first judical district of Tennessee is corrupt and this has been voiced by an assistant District Attorney and other attorneys.

We need to be able to tell where any product originally is made, not just “Distributed by” so we can chose to buy American Produced products and bring jobs back to America! If we could tell where the product originated rather than the worthless “distributed by” we see on 75% of the products AND preference buying “ American”, manufacturers would have to move factories back to America! BUT, we can’t buy American if we don’t know where it was made!

A provision in the National Defense Authorization Act just passed in the Senate would authorize the military to jail anyone it considers a terrorism suspect — anywhere in the world — without charge or trial. The measure would effectively extend the definition of what is considered the military’s "battlefield" to anywhere in the world, even within the United States. From Freedom to Fascism indeed. Who's to say what "terrorism" is? Is it Occupying government institutions? Is it surrounding the White House in protest of a pipeline? Is it sending money to a cousin in a foreign country whose neighbor is a member of a group our government doesn't agree with? Everyone deserves the right to the due process of the justice system. Locking people up indefinitely without them being convicted of any crime is already happening to foreign citizens, and now they bring it to us.
