Apple: Stop promoting anti-choice extremists. If a user asks for family planning services, they should be directed to a group that offers full services, like Planned Parenthood--not to a hard-right clinic with an extremist agenda.

Whereas, it has become obvious the power of a media empire to corrupt all it touches (and it touches all spheres of public and private life), a fitting response in a republic is to assure the integrity of the findings of a thorough search of all relevant documents and testimony by appointing a Special Prosecutor in and for the State of New York in order that facts as honestly ascertained be candidly presented to a concerned citizenry.

I would support the addition of a privately funded on-campus stadium at Colorado State University and urge all stakeholders to remain open to that possibility while the committee researches the issue. I know that I am joined by thousands of other CSU Ram fans, students, alumni, and local community members that believe that building an on-campus stadium is in the best interest of CSU and Fort Collins. A stronger commitment to CSU athletics will mobilize increased public support, create a stronger brand identity in a crowded marketplace, and emphasize the popularity of our research programs, which unfortunately are sometimes invisible to many important constituencies critical for their political and financial support.

Over 15% of Montana residents don't have health insurance, including many children. Under the Affordable Care Act, new federal dollars have been offered to states to expand their Medicaid programs. In Montana, 64,000 residents could benefit from expanded Medicaid programs. Please accept the federal Medicaid dollars and help Montanans in need.

The legislative, state Senate, and congressional districts must be redrawn before the 2014 election, by either a non- partisan or bipartisan comittee. We will not accept defacto one party rule.

Amend the current ordinance that prohibits the ownership of chickens in Philadelphia.

Repeal the current ban on retail customers from being able to pump their own gasoline. Allow consumers to be able to pump their own gasoline.

New York's working families need greater access to qualified and licensed childcare providers. To make this happen, providers need help to ensure that they can keep their doors open. Childcare providers deserve a living wage with benefits such as health insurance and paid time off. They are responsible for molding the minds of the youngest and most vulnerable members of our society. Many providers have years of experience, along with degrees in early childhood education. Yet they are often considered merely "baby sitters" who are underpaid and disrespected. Child care providers and staff are essential workers and most importantly, child care is essential to our young children and families. Without an affordable, safe and healthy place for young children to go, mothers are less able to work and earn money to help support the family. Rising cost of child care are becoming unaffordable to middle class New Yorkers. Universal childcare can be fiscally to the economy; the program will encourage mothers/fathers to return to the labor force, or continue their education without having to worry about the cost associated with child care. We need universal child care, because our economy can’t recover if working parents are left behind. Nationwide, the average child care worker earns $12.24 per hour, far less than K-12 teachers. And in this competitive hiring market, other industries are raising wages and adding benefits to attract workers. Daycares are closing because they cannot keep current staff or hire new staff due to the higher wages and benefits in other industries. We need: 1. Increased subsidy payments to allow childcare providers to be paid for the true cost of care. 2. New funding to allow providers to increase wages and benefits for staff to stabilize the workforce and create more continuity of care for children. 3. Investments to stabilize existing child care programs, create new childcare programs, specifically in childcare deserts, to increase the number of quality and licensed childcare options for parents. 4. Fund Universal child care for all working families. Investing in these key areas will spur economic development by allowing more parents to go to work and school, while also giving childcare providers the resources that they need to expand their programs, invest in their staff, and continue to offer quality programs in their community. We successfully won major advancements in New York, but without additional state and federal resources, we will not be able to ensure that all parents have access to quality, licensed, and affordable childcare.

As a New Yorker concerned about the upcoming "fiscal showdown", I urge you to distance yourself from the corporate coalition "Fix the Debt" and support rebuilding our country and economy with these these economic proposals: 1. Raise $1 trillion in new revenue from the wealthy and corporations over 10 years and use it to prevent any cuts to critical programs and services, like Social Security, Medicare and education. 2. Make corporations pay their fair share of taxes. While corporate profits are at a 60-year high, the average corporate tax rate is just 12.6% - a third of their official tax rate. 3. End tax breaks that encourage corporations to ship jobs and profits overseas. 4. Eliminate loopholes that benefit primarily the wealthy.

Twitter already has a problem protecting users from abuse on this platform, and this move from Elon to own the company would only serve to harm the millions of people on the site. Twitter has become a platform, not just for our personal thoughts, but also a home for activists and a source used by millions to learn more about societal problems, and international and local news that isn’t covered by more prominent cable news. With Elon Musk at the helm of Twitter, he'll no doubt continue to use scare tactics against reports and journalists who critique him publicly. Because of the size of this $43B acquisition triggers an automatic review by the FTC, and there's still room to push them to put them to hear public input, and prevent this.
