	The Big Issue (United Kingdom)
		The Big Issue is a magazine sold by homeless people in order that they can earn an income and regain their self esteem.
		However, The Big Issue is also a campaigning paper, raising issues that don't get coverage in the national press and more importantly providing a platform for homeless people to share their experiences and opinions.
		The Big Issue gives homeless people a voice in The Street Lights section of the magazine, which is written by homeless people about their own experiences.

		Big Issue is a magazine sold down the street by homeless people.

		The Big Issue's own investigation has revealed a trail of army bosses stonewalling and even lying to soldiers, and a refusal to release official figures or even acknowledge the existence of the Colchester Two.
		Despite this, The Big Issue can now reveal that the pair are not unique, as those in charge would like the public to think, but just two of many serving armed forces members who have turned conscientious objector (CO).
		When The Big Issue asked the MOD what decision it had taken on the Colchester Two, it said: "We are not aware of any CO cases during the recent operation in Iraq." It also failed to provide any answers to 17 other questions on COs.

	The big issue Independent, The (London) - Find Articles
		Every year, the US government's public health agency, the Centers for Disease Control, issues a colour- coded map charting the rise in adult obesity state by state; looking at the maps in sequence is not unlike watching a horror film about some ever-spreading toxic gloop.
		Obesity is no longer just a matter of freak-show news items about people who have grown so big they can no longer fit through their front door; the phenomenon is changing society from top to bottom.
		Big is the new watchword, for clothing, for cars (with steering wheels realigned to make space for expanding guts) - even, poignantly, for coffins.

	Citrus: Big-issue referendums rare in Citrus
		Because the issue is so important and divisive, and because the commission's voice is so potentially persuasive, many people wonder why the commission doesn't formally poll the people through a referendum so commissioners can better gauge their constituents' views.
		That means the Crystal River City Council isn't obligated by law to hold a referendum on the issue.
		The approved amendments no longer made a referendum vote necessary for issues such as eliminating a city department, and the City Council became the decisionmaking body.

		It addresses the issue of weight loss in the fat acceptance community, health issues, and the uncomfortable relationship our culture has with food.
		As far as I'm concerned, that's her personal choice, and since the issue is SIZE ACCEPTANCE, we should accept the fact that some people, yes, want to lose weight.
		The issue at hand with diets is that they take us out of touch with our normal eating patterns, which in turn takes our bodies out of touch with their normal metabolism and natural weight.

	The Big Issue
		Under such a system, administrations are obliged to look not at their people's needs, and the practical means of satisfying them, but rather at their own capacity to borrow.
		Social deprivation itself, skills rotting in idleness, chronic poverty, hunger and want in the midst of plenty, all have their origins in the distortions and needless disciplines that are forced upon us by the Debt.
		That is the extent to which the Big Issue, the Debt issue, should be dominating both the economic and the political debates in Election 2001.

		The 45th Anniversary Big Issue of SURFER Magazine, featuring “45 Years of Legend and Lore,” is on sale the first week of July 2005 at surf shops and newsstands everywhere.
		And of course because it is the biggest issue ever, the biggest surf publication in history, it is a grand affair just pulling it all together.
		We knew going into it that there was no way we could tell every story, and there are tons that just as easily could have made the cut, but the idea was to get people’s juices flowing so that they can remember their own stories.

	Bullying - the big issue for young people (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The last few months has seen a media frenzy over the list 99 controversy, the infamous list of banned teachers, but I believe the media need to take a closer look at other real dangers young people are facing in our schools.
		Of course sexual abuse and rape is a huge issue, but for most young people in the UK and throughout the world they face a far more common day-to-day dilemma - bullying!
		In my opinion the older generation has failed to notice that their actions are being closely watched and repeated in schools, playgrounds and other areas where young people hang out.

	On the Yankees beat: The Big Issue
		Everyone from Joe Torre to Ron Guidry to Jorge Posada to Derek Jeter says no. And they all took great pains to paint Sunday’s loss to Oakland in a positive light because the Big Unit recovered from a poor first inning and pitched five respectable innings thereafter.
		Since the rest of the starters have done well for the most part, Johnson’s shakiness hasn’t shaken the team’s foundation, nor dislodged them from the AL East race.
		So the team while carry the Big Unit for a while in the hope that he can return the favor later this season.
