Dear Mr. Gates: Recently, a baby in Mississippi was cured of AIDS--the second person ever cured. But the NIH spends only 3% of its AIDS research money to find a cure and is facing cutbacks. Now is the time to act. Will you help by making a major financial commitment to curing AIDS? You will change the world if you do.

Senator Brown and Representative Kaptur, I’m writing to you today to bring awareness, and urgently required attention, to a public health hazard that has affected myself, my family, and countless others throughout the United States. In short, I'm speaking about the toxic effects from indoor mold and microbial growth within damp and water-damaged buildings. In 2004 the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) convened with the Institute of Medicine's Committee on Damp Indoor Spaces and Health to give recommendations concerning this issue. The committee recommended that the CDC conduct additional research and studies to address the many outstanding concerns from medical professionals, scientists and the public-at-large on the adverse health effects from indoor mold exposure and associative toxins in damp and water damaged buildings. In the report the committee stated, "Greater research attention to the possible role of damp indoor environments and the agents associated with them in less well understood disease entities is needed to address gaps in scientific knowledge and concerns among the public." The committee concluded that, "excessive indoor dampness is a public-health problem." Senator Brown and Representative Kaptur, I urge you to bring forth federal legislation similar to Ohio H.B. 251, The Ohio Indoor Safe Air Act, which will establish an indoor mold program to take action on this unaddressed issue that is affecting so many Americans and people throughout the world. Mold and microbial growth in damp and water-damaged buildings are an incredibly devastating, yet entirely preventable, public health hazard. It's time to start the conversation about the potential options for reform which would aid in addressing this issue. Thank you for your time and consideration.

State Action Is Still Needed to Prevent Unnecessary Foreclosures and Evictions! Servicers, through their document processing factories, continue to crank out false affidavits and mortgage assignments to wrongfully foreclose on hard working Illinois families!

On Tuesday, March 2, Governor Greg Abbott issued an executive order that is nothing but a grotesque political move. Contrary to scientific reason, all entities have been opened, and the statewide mask mandate has been discontinued. Abbott needs to reinstate the mask mandate and to reopen the state cautiously as informed by public health recommendations.

One of earth's seven natural wonders is being threatened by development of a massive shopping mall, theater, hotels and fast food restaurants. A recent report stated that the Colorado river in the Grand Canyon is the most endangered river in the country and we need to stop this development.

Tell The Obama Administration, The DOJ, and The SEC must do the morally right and progressively accountable thing for the PEOPLE hurt by Wall Street. What they did requires more than civil suit, it deserves "CRIMINAL" procecution.

To the Shoreline School Board: My name is Sarah and I am in the 3rd grade. I would like to inform you about why we should change the name of a Shoreline School District building to honor Edwin T Pratt. He was an accomplished civil rights activist and the director of the Seattle Urban League. He stood up for school desegregation and fair housing. He moved to Shoreline to set an example of how we can all be neighbors. On the snowy night of January 26, 1969 a snowball hit the window of his Shoreline house. He went to the door to see what made the noise and was shot and killed. His wife and his 5 year old daughter were home at the time. I think naming a Shoreline school district building in his honor would be appropriate because he rallied for all children to have equal education and desegregated schools. Thank you!
