On Saturday February 11th, Guatemalan President Otto Perez Molina declared that, following discussions with Colombian President Santos, he will present a proposal for drug legalization in Central America at the April 14-15 Summit of the Americas. Guatemalan Vice-President Roxana Baldetti will begin a tour of Central America to discuss the proposal with regional leaders and garner support for it, starting with Panama, Costa Rica and Salvador on February 29th. Unsurprisingly, the move was greeted by a quick rebuke from the US government. President Molina’s initiative is unprecedented and marks the first time since the launching of the War on Drugs by Richard Nixon in 1971 that a foreign head of state actively challenges the US-led policies of drug prohibition and try to build a coalition against it. A former general of the Guatemalan army, President Molina has impeccable credentials to launch such a move: he was elected in November 2011 on a law-and-order platform, pledging to restore security to the country. Guatemala is on the major transit route from Colombia to the US and drug violence has exploded there over the past few years, turning this already impoverished and unstable country into one of the most dangerous countries in the world. We all need to show our support to President Molina and his potential Latin American allies. We also need to put pressure on the Obama administration to ensure that it doesn’t stall Molina’s proposal, and that it allows a truthful debate to take place at the April 14-15 Summit of the Americas and beyond.

The Nebraska legislature is set to debate a voter ID bill today. We know that the bill, LB 239, makes it harder for Nebraskans to vote while racking up costs to fix a problem we don't have. Our state senators need to know Nebraskans do not support costly bills that make it harder for us to vote. Counties estimate they could spend $200,000-$600,000 more per election just to implement voter ID. About 10% of Nebraskans do not have photo ID. We all know grandparents who no longer drive or folks who use public transportation that simply do not have a government-issued photo ID. LB 239, the voter ID bill, will be up for a debate today or tomorrow. We need to let state senators know before they vote on advancing the bill that Nebraskans will not accept our constitutional right to vote being taken away.

Eight states have passed to allow gay marriage, we need to be the ninth state to do so. Tulsa has one of the biggest Equality centers in the world, we would be able to suprise the nation by passing this. And we also need Equality for all.

Prevent Auto Corporate entities in Arizona without return policies, from manipulating and deceiving consumers in the new purchase of automobiles. Currently they are protected by ie hiding behind the fact that there is no state law of rescission/return of the auto protecting the consumer. This is a call to the legislature to enact the law for return of automobiles with legitimate reasons within a reasonable time period of 2-5 days. The lack of such a law allows duplicitous corporate profit at the expense of the consumer. Having a law of rescission, the right to return an automobile, will require a higher standard in AZ dealerships that are not currently bound to any ethical or legal standard. This law already exists in other states. It is time that Arizona step up, get proactive.

Much has been said about the Indiana legislature's recent passage of a so-called right to work law. This petition takes issue with the name of the legislation. It is malfeasant to extend that right exclusively to anti-union corporations but not, as all faith traditions require, to unemployed human beings. Please support this new citizens' right to work legislation.

The Right to own property and exclude others from entering is the cornerstone of our republic. Our country was founded on landowner rights and those rights are defined in our U.S. and State Constitutions. Politicians need to understand that we recognize what they are doing. We see that they are denying landowner rights in favor of big business. Politicians need to know that we will not tolerate their continued manipulation of law. We will vote against any politician who does not protect landowner rights and public safety.

Palestinian women who also was arrested recently and the Israeli gave her 6 months administrative detention order, so she decided to protest the detention same way as Khader Adnan and she started an open hunger strike 8 days ago.

This Senate bill would discriminate against absentee owners who manage the renting of their unit themselves. This bill would mandate that the owner hire a real estate broker to manage the unit and have to pay40%-60% of the rental fees to the broker. This would cause many owners to sell their units and further bring down housing value. Owners would lose control of their legal property.

Governor Bev Perdue vetoed the voter ID law passed by the Republican legislators in 2011. We know they are trying to overturn her veto in 2012. Don't let in happen. Protect every citizen's constitutional right to vote.

Your Governor has done it again. He has allowed his personal feelings and beliefs to stop him from passing a law that would allow same sex individuals to be in civil union just like 2 people of the opposite sex. Who are we to judge?
