If they are getting the same health care options as us, maybe they will care about the options. Why do they deserve special plans?

In Juliana v. U.S., a group of youths, ages 11-22, filed suit against the US government for its affirmative actions that cause climate change, which have violated the youngest generation’s constitutional rights to life, liberty, and property, as well as failed to protect essential public trust resources. The fossil fuel industry and the Trump administration have requested multiple times that the case be dismissed, but all of these attempts have been rejected by the courts. The trial in the 9th Circuit of Appeals is set for October 29! Support these brave young people! Sign this petition and share!

Many who are disheartened by the state of our country and the state of our governing bodies and market structure feel lost. Many of us feel that our votes don't make a difference, especially with news of massive voter suppression efforts such as is happening now in Georgia, or of the Russian interference in our presidential election and the willingness of an entire political party to comply. Many of us don't know how to make an impact beyond posting our political opinions on social media. THIS IS THE UNDERLYING MOTIVATION FOR RED FRIDAY. Red Friday is an event with dual intentions. The primary goal of Red Friday is to bolster support for an elevated minimum wage. The secondary goal of Red Friday is to express national distrust in the government and market structure across the United States by disrupting corporate profiteering through economic disobedience.

The ridiculous profits realized by those who have monopolized the sources of information that would allow for informed consent of our countries governance has led us to a crisis not unlike our healthcare situation. They profit from misinformation and conspire against the citizenry for profits with total disregard for the responsibilities that were once implied by a license to use public airwaves.

People who work hard! Over 40 hours is a week have been robbed for too long. We need to put a stop to taxing overtime.

I was a healthy twenty six year old with a young family, no debt, a college degree and about to buy our first house. Then one day in December 2016 I went to work not knowing it would never be the same as that morning again. I worked at a horse stable and I had to lift a bag of shavings off the pallet of shavings into my wheelbarrow. It fell, I stupidly caught it and it immediately pulled me with it. All I felt was a pop and pain from the center of my spine down into my foot. Needless to say, everything was no longer how it was. My work had insurance but they still to this day have not given much treatment as they deny almost everything or delay my Physical Therapy which happens all the time even with a lawyer involved. The disability checks are very minimal and my husband at first had to help me so much all the time he missed work. We ran out of money and almost went homeless right before we finally received a HUD apartment. All this being said, I have racked up a ton of debt paying for food, gas, medical equipment/assistive devices because they again fight me on everything. I do receive SNAP, it is $32 a month because I have been forced into HUD housing and it counts against you when you have SNAP. For someone like me, my credit cards became the only way to afford food, but they all have a limit. Unfortunately SNAP will NOT include this an expense and if it did I could buy enough groceries for an entire month for my family. This situation I am in is not new anymore and the federal government needs to step up and help those who really don’t have any other options. Everyone should have enough food for their children and not be panicking all the time about food. Please stand up for those of us that did everything right and still ended up where no one wants to be.

I, myself, have been personally affected by this ban because i have smoked pot for 10+ years now and i am tired of being so damn paranoid and shit about getting caught and going to jail over it. weed doesnt kill people. other drugs do! hell alcohol and cigs are PROVEN to kill people and their legal and weed hasnt killed noone unless they drove under the influence and acted stupid. so why not legalize it but have restrictions on it just like alcohol?

Wildlife is under threat from human overpopulation and encroachment and deserves protection, not to be slaughtered.

The Des Moines Register says "In his almost 16 years in Congress, (Steve) King has passed exactly one bill as primary sponsor, redesignating a post office. He won't debate his opponent and rarely holds public town halls. Instead, he spends his time meeting with fascist leaders in Europe and retweeting neo-Nazis." Iowa needs to do better than this.

1. No tenure no pension. Members of Congress only are paid while serving. 2. Congress participates in Social Security. All funds in the congressional retirement fund be transferred to the Social Security system. All future retirement funds flow into the social security system and congress participates with all other citizens. Social Security may not be used for any other purpose. 3. Congress can purchase their own retirement and health plans until we are all covered by the same plan. 4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. It will be tied to CPI, SS, and minimum wage. 5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the rest of the citizens of our country. 6. Congress must abide by the same laws as the rest of the citizens. 7. All contracts with past and present congressional representatives will become void on 12/31/19.

So many of us have been deleted from West Hills for speaking out critically about issues. WHNC should not be used as a bully tool to silence critics. Every part of the EmpowerLA process is corrupt and held for power instead of for the benefit of the people. With the financial waste, you could help solve the homeless problem instead of providing a place for bored real estate people to protect their investments over the welfare of the people and we have had enough. Do what is right and CLEAN HOUSE at the WHNC.

Having just recently gone thru Hurricane Michael and not being able to get gas for generators and such because service stations had no power this is an issue every time we have a power outage. Many if not all of these stations have the gas they just can't run their pumps do to lack of power. By having backup generators lines out the streets and tempers are greatly reduced.
