It's time our representatives passed laws that require that all of the oil and gas taken from out land be used in the US. The foreign owned companies that are taking all the profits are also wanting to sell most of it out of the country. Fifty years from now we will be without heat due to their greed and the incompetence of our government representatives.
Schools should never be for profit. Charter schools need to be closed down. Public schools need to be responsive to the public. Now that ALEC has decided to get the states to push for profit schools, this will be a big issue in the states. The rich want to limit your education, not support it. The two best and most successful things in the US are under attack by greedy businessmen; that is, public education and the post office.
It's about time that the government stop using dui as a money maker. Check points need to be outlawed and only reckless drivers should be pulled over for dui.
Another oil spill. Before long there won't be a single clean body of water in the area all because of the rich oil barrons who refuse to operate in a safe manner.
Only the most extreme religious right ( such as Boston bombers) and a few homophobes now oppose marriage equality. It will improve the US society and soon be so common that even politicians won't care to talk about it. Still, at this point in time it is good to hear Cong. Ryan on the record on the positive side. Those opposing marriage equality will someday be viewed much as George Wallace is for racial equality, a relic of an evil time and policy.
As long as an important Ohio legislator owns a for profit school, the state will be taking money from the public schools we vote to support and give it to the for profit schools. It is a shame, greed has no place in the schooling of the children in our community. And, no government tax dollars should ever go to schools that teach a specific religion. This is so against the basic priniciples of this country.
This is a great charter proposal. Headed in the direction of improving live for the residents of Youngstown. This is not the industrial pit of Ohio anymore. We must take steps to make it a safe, clean and nice place to live. Then small, safe businesses can move back in from the suburbs. Only the poorest and weakest communities are allowing fracking. They are being abused by the huge multinational energy corporations that just want to steal our gas for sale overseas and do it in a way that pollutes our water forever.
Something does need to be done to stop these wacko's and their gun fetish. It sounds way too much like in Germany in the 1930's when the Nazi's used public paranoia to take over the country.

Sen. Portman says politics played no factor in his vote
He is lying. Vast majority of Ohioans support gun control. He can not be trusted. Face it, he was George Bush's financial advisor. Can't be trusted.
