Big Tobacco is doing it again. It was passed without notice by sneaking it into a completely unrelated Bill. Altria, the distributor for big tobacco companies like R.J. Reynolds spent more than $11 million dollars getting one tiny little paragraph inserted into a 5600 page amendment to a Senate Highway Bill. Only they and their Senate cronies even knew it was there. No hearings. No notice. No opportunity to be heard. No defense. No warning. The Bill reclassifies small tobacco shops as "manufacturers" and subjects them, and their customers to huge tax increases and regulations, and elminates a more than 200 year old federal exemption for rolling your own cigarettes. We have until April 22 to get more than 25,000 signatures. Please support your local mom and pop shops over big tobacco. This bill will shut down thousands and thousands of small businesses all over America and throw thousands more out of work.

Everyone would like a rational money system owned and operated by the people.

Dillingham Airfield is a haven for recreational air activities in the State of Hawaii. It is a special airport because it is non-towered, and readily allows general aviation, ultralight aircraft, gliders, parachuting operations, and military training to occur simultaneously. However, we the people of the State of Hawaii believe it is being mismanaged, and ask for special review, by the Governor's Office, of the DOT-A and all related offices in regards to the mistreatment of businesses and tenants on Dillingham Airfield .

Stopping Wall St. speculative traders like Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, etc. I understand by using a law already on the books to limit excessive speculative trading can lower gas prices approximately $.80 to $1. 00 + per gal. Even the Republicans are complaining about gas prices. Glive them what they want, lower gas prilces. It helps the ecomomy and President Obama, plus the 99%.

I am so frustrated that unions are not out there letting people know why unions are important. Even union members say bad things about unions. We need an ad campaign like the one Clint Eastwood did for the Superbowl that could show what unions are about. If we are to win the Walker Recall election here in Wisconsin, someone has to get that info to the electorate.

This petition is about the large differences between our state and US senators and congressmen and the people they are supposed to represent. They should have to pay for their own health insurance and they need to pay for their own cars and gasoline. They certainly get enough money from their salaries that are paid by the rest of us.

Many years ago (1883) I was driving an Limo in Beverly Hills, CA. I was driving a very high end Tax Expert to the airport. I asked him how we could solve our debt problems for good in the US. His instant answer was" 10% Flat tax on individuals and Corporations. He said in 3 years we would be in the Black and stay there.This would also free up a lot of money that would be spent and go back into the economy.

Granting felony's the right to work and apply for housing in America without their background causing them not to. People make mistakes and people also change, lets give them that chance to do so.

Why aren't federal taxes cut at the gas pump, on mobile phone use and, on heating our home...

Apple can lead the way in corporate patriotism by bringing the dollars made selling products to Americans back to America in the form of jobs. Apple can set the standard for companies that accumulate great wealth from selling products in the US and actually produce some of the products with an American work force. We love Apple for being user-friendly, and it can be US-friendly, too. Nice tribute- jobs for Jobs
