We the people want Genetically Modified food ingredients clearly labeled on the packaging

The people of Illinois have a right to know, ILLINOIS NEEDS GMO LABELING on all products.

Congress wants people who are receiving government aid to submit to drug testing. Congress is paid through the government, by we the people. In light of the recent arrest followed by a slap on the wrist of Rep. Trey Radel a system should be put in place where members are randomly drug tested and/or alcohol tested if they are working on the floor. We hire these people and entrust them with very important decisions. We deserve to have a sense of security that these decisions are made with sober minds.

There should be legislation that prohibits a company from firing or prevents it from hiring an individual because of a crime that was committed over 20 years ago. One's record should not be cleared, but it should not be used to discredit one's employability.

Rep. King has repeatedly shown his bigotry and racism while supposedly serving the people of Iowa. He has repeatedly made disparaging and hateful remarks about African-Americans, Hispanics, legal and illegal immigrants. And, adding insult to injury, Rep. King is on the House Subcommittee on Immigration! This is a situation that is of such untenable proportions, that simply removing him from the Subcommittee is not sufficient, he needs to be expelled from the House of Representatives. So we ask that the House of Representatives vote for the expulsion of Rep. Steve King from the House of Representatives, to help restore a sense of honor, dignity, and fairness for the House, and the people of his district.

"Citizen Koch" documentary was pulled from a national public TV broadcast because they fear upsetting David Koch, who has been a major donor to public television.
