The United States spends 41 % of the world's share of defense expenditures. President Eisenhower, a military man and a Republican, warned that the military industrial complex was becoming too powerful and threatening our democracy. The military/defense lobby subverts our democratic process and our ability to develop greater goals for our society.

Start looking out for underwater homeowners who are current but have no value in their home and are carrying an insane interest rate in this market

More and more women's health is at serious risk and great danger if the Texas ban on abortions continues. The fact that Zurawski was forced to wait to end a pregnancy and thus experience further physical harm to her body which could result in more severe complications and difficulty to conceive in the future is not only morally and humanistically disheartening, it is a violation of human rights. The right to choose is a very personal health decision dealing with personal freedom as to what one feels she needs for herself and her own body--medical decisions and actions that respect that woman's decision and support her in carrying it out due to the personal and difficult choices she has to make over risks to her health should not be made illegal. We need to do all we can to reverse the ban and make choice have it's rightful place, supporting the ideals behind the Center for Reproductive Rights ; personal health, freedoms and democracy are at severe risk if we don't remove such bans. (In Zuwarski's case, having the ban in place in a sense is counterproductive to many Republicans' fight for pro life: Ms. Zuwarski because of the ban is now at severe risk of not being able to conceive in the future. Decisions to put the ban in place is not in line with the ideals behind the idea of America; removing the ban can save lives and choice should be an option in a country founded on the humanistic , not totalitarian, concept of all people having inalienable rights -- life, liberty, pursuit of happiness -- and freedom to do what is personally healthy with their own bodies.

Minimum sentencing for sexual abuse needs to be raised in Montana to include more than just probation and include prison time.

Our brother Angel Luis Martinez Jr. inmate # 1897616 has been sent to jail for 50 plus years for something he did not do. He is sitting in a jail cell in Kennedy Texas. It was her word against his. He was not even put on the stand to defend himself and sent to jail in 2 days! This doesn't make sense! What happened to justice and being tried fairly in the court of law.

I support: 1. The ban of plastic water bottle sales on Northwestern University’s Evanston Campus. Through the following framework: 2.

The upgrade of water fountains to include bottle refilling stations. 4. The provision of free or inexpensive reusable water bottles to students.

We ask for your support in revising the currently unfair and impractical California Beverage Container Recycling and Litter Reduction Act (AB 2020). Make recycling fair for consumers and place the burden back on the bottling industry and sellers. All locations selling containers requiring CA Redemption Value deposits will accept container returns for redemption value refunds during their full hours. End the separate recycling centers that act as a barrier to redemption.
