    Requiring the same level of identification to VOTE as is required to drive a car, get on an airplane, or buy a beer IS NOT REPUBLICAN VOTER SUPPRESSION; what a crock of baloney!!! Get real people; get some ID so you can vote....then go exercise your rights and vote.....and maybe buy a beer!

    Romney keeps saying he will create 12 million jobs. Has he said where he will create these jobs?

    Yes I am sorry to tell you, that Trader Joes carry food with GMO's. Just read the labels. Unless a food store is verifying every food product in the store to make sure there isn't any GMO's, because a GMO can come in a lot of different forms. As an example, did you know ascorbic acid is a GMO and is used in many foods as a preservative. My suggestion is, read every label for yourself. Take responsibility for your own health. No matter what a company sells, they're in business to make a profit and only profits.

    Anything you buy that is prepackaged will almost always have GMO's, so avoid anything that comes in a package, although if you do buy prepackage food, look for any type of soy, everything made with corn in every form, canola oils, aspartame,sorbitol, sugar free candies, chocolate ice cream,
    look for cane sugar, otherwise all sugar comes from GMO sugar beets,
    most artificial flavorings, check the label for long chemical names, that
    you can't pronounce. Ingredients like cellulosr, mono,diglycerides.
    If you are really interested in avoiding GMO's go to this website to get
    a list http://www.foodinsight.org Hope that helps. I've been an organic vegetarian for 40 years.

    ALEC appears to be about the opposite of democracy: it is about giving the most powerful and well resourced individuals more power and resources even at the expense of the common good. We will never have a true democracy as long as organizations like ALEC continue to steal elections with money and dirty politics. Our children are watching and I know of at least one young woman who wonders if Romney will win even though he is telling lies. Is this what we want to show the world? The one who lies the most, wins? Sincerely, Ms. Baker
