They are killing too much of nature to build these condos leaving the towns looking gritty and then there's nothing nice to look at from the condos or anywhere I'm sick of trees not shading the streets and being cut down and condos being built its not pretty anywhere plants and nature was prettier.

We must stop treating Puerto Rico like a colony. The people of PR deserve dignity and respect. An unelected fiscal control board is NOT democratic. At a time when the people of PR are suffering, this bill would make the situation much worse. Draconian austerity measures will only exacerbate the conditions on the island by forcing more schools and hospitals to close, slash pensions, raise taxes, lower wages and restructure debt without the approval of PR's democratically elected government.

Dear Secretary Anthony Foxx, I commend USDOT for considering carbon emissions in the proposed performance management rule for congestion and air quality (Docket #: FHWA-2013-0054), and urge you to include a strong carbon emissions performance standard in the final rule. Specifically, the final rule should require all state DOTs and Metropolitan Planning Organizations, regardless of size, to measure, reduce, and report on carbon emissions from all transportation projects as part of their long-term transportation plans. Moreover, to make this new measure as impactful as possible, the congestion mitigation and system performance portions of the rule should be amended to account for people who travel via public transit, biking, and walking. Prioritizing a truly multimodal transportation system will help reduce congestion on our roads, improve reliability, and will assist the Obama administration’s efforts to reduce carbon emissions and protect public health. Your department has already been a leader in developing regulations and programs to boost the fuel economy of the nation's vehicle fleet, as well as reducing greenhouse gas pollution that puts our cities, economy, and transportation infrastructure at risk. You have also supported efforts to make sure our transportation system effectively serves all users well. I hope the final rule will build on that track record by including carbon emissions and counting all modes of transportation in measuring congestion. Thank you,

What Apple calls "modern popular music" is just irritating noise. You get 4 options, including silence, thanks to my initiative in 2014, but they can't seem to fix the problem that occurs when a rep puts you on hold: you have to endure noise that may be considered music by a 10-year old but they don't pay for AppleCare--their parents do!

We urge you to oppose two bills being reintroduced by Senator Mike Regan and Senator Scott Martin that seek to trample Pennsylvanians’ right to free speech, right to free association, their property rights, and their environmental rights. The bills are constitutionally suspect and could have far-reaching effects on protest, which has long been a cornerstone of our democracy. Senator Regan’s bill (a reintroduction of 2017-2018’s SB 652) would expand the scope of criminal trespass in Pennsylvania and impose harsh penalties on peaceful protesters, particularly those fighting to protect and preserve their environment and the health and safety of their families from the development of oil and gas infrastructure. The bill would turn peaceful protest at “critical infrastructure” sites into a 2nd-degree felony on par with sexual assault or aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. A repeat offense would constitute a first-degree felony on par with kidnapping, rape, and murder. Senator Martin’s bill, SB323, (a reintroduction of 2017-2018’s SB 754) would impose financial burdens on residents for public safety costs associated with public, free speech demonstrations. Uphold our democratic values and constitutional rights by refraining from co-sponsoring this legislation and by voting NO if it’s brought up for a vote.

The national student loan debt is an estimated $1.4 trillion dollars. This leaves most students in crippling debt for a huge portion of their working lives.

I implore you to let the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruling rejecting congressional district boundaries stand. We deserve to be fairly represented in Congress. It’s time to do the right thing and let the will of the people be heard.

Pearson, the multinational conglomerate that has a stranglehold on the testing industry, has been monitoring the social media sites looking for teens who post or tweet anything critical of these invalid tests. This is a gross breach of privacy, and if corporations are truly "people" then the Department of Justice must be an advocate for our children and investigate, prosecute, and ultimately convict, this greedy corporation to the full extent of the law.

Governor Cuomo, thank you for your bold and determined leadership. By concluding that fracking is too dangerous to proceed in New York, you not only stood up for the people of your state but for people in communities across the country who are suffering from the consequences of fracking. You have earned a place in history.
