. This race to the bottom by the USDA must stop. We are asking President Obama to end this hazardous to human health idea: 1. Vet the safety of chemicals in chicken processing plants. 2. Do not use any harmful chemicals. 3. Do not decrease the amount of inspectors. 4. Human health before profits for Big Ag.

The USDA wants to speed up the chicken processing line in poultry plants; in order to do that they would have to use even more chemicals so that even diseased chickens would be included. A poultry processing worker has already died from his lungs bleeding out; yet, the USDA wants to use more of these chemicals none of which have been vetted by them or the FDA?! In addition, they want to decrease their inspectors by 40%. This race to the bottom by the USDA must stop. We are asking President Obama to end this hazardous to human health idea and to vet the chemicals already in use. Human health before profits for Big Ag.

We the people of America demand that congress give up their Cadillac healthcare program at taxpayer's expense and go onto what most Americans are now offered -- Obamacare. Why should the majority of Americans do without decent healthcare when all of Congress is well taken care of by our tax dollars? I demand equal coverage for all citizens.

Representative Garrett: Don't deny the funds we need to rebuild. We are taxpayers, too.

Talk about extending the school day or the school year to improve the education of children is not designed to create improvement ,but to provide window dressing. The real way to improve education is to reduce class sizes.

Establish a Transaction Tax that would apply to all purchases and sales of derivatives, options and stocks at 1/2%. Reinstate the Speculation Tax that was dropped in 1966. Result... More financial stability and new revenue.

The cover photo of the Ki Suk Han subway tragedy showed a lack of both good judgment and journalistic integrity. I pledge to boycott the NY Post from December 10th-14th unless all proceeds from that day's newspaper sales are donated to the family of Mr. Ki Suk Han.
