Require Protection from Backflow of Toxic Chemicals into Our Drinking WaterThe backflow of toxic de-scalars and other toxic chemicals from boilers into the water used for drinking, cooking or bathing leads to ill health in those who use the water. The chemicals damage every organ in the body, potentially causing permanent disability and even death. One of the most egregious cases in Illinois was backflow of toxic chemicals from a morgue into the drinking water of school children.33 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Pauline Harding

Mr. President: Stop global warming; replace coal with Liquid Fluoride Thorium ReactorsLiquid Fluoride Thorium Reactors (LFTRs) are safe and can provide energy and water security for the entire world for thousands of years. LFTRs cannot melt down (they’re molten by design), they do not need backup power (as did Fukushima), they produce less than 1% of the waste of current reactors, they use abundant thorium instead of uranium for fuel, they can be used to generate hydrogen (as a basis for synthetic fuels to replace gasoline and diesel), they can be mass produced, they cannot be used to generate weapons material, and they can be used to replace oil as the energy source for the ever-growing desalination needs of the world. For background information of LFTRs, copy and paste this link into your browser's address bar: http://stopglobalwarmingpetition.blogspot.com/44 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Stephen Williams

California Legislature----amend AB-2588Airborne emissions permitted from some facilities in California subject to the "Toxic Hot Spots" Act (former AB-2588) have been found to deposit and accumulate on surfaces such as roofs, streets and sidewalks as well as into soils where the public is exposed. Some of the deposition/accumulation has been to hazardous waste levels. The Department of Toxic Substances Control and the local air quality management districts must be required to jointly address this problem.28 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Phil Chandler

Tell the FDA: No GE salmon on our platesThe FDA is poised to approve genetically engineered salmon for human consumption. We only have until April 26th to tell them no! This salmon would be the first-ever genetically engineered animal to sneak onto our dinner plates -- and it likely won’t be labeled! Please urge the FDA to conduct a full Environmental Impact Statement that considers the dangers genetically engineered salmon would pose to wild salmon and ocean ecosystems.34,723 of 35,000 SignaturesCreated by Peter Stocker

Stop or Label GMO foods, seeds, products & ingredients, GE fish from being sold in OregonGMO ingredients, food & products as well as GE engineered fish have never been adequately tested and are harmful to our & our animals health. Even though GMO's have been used for approx 20 yrs in ingredients such as corn, soybeans & wheat products - they are harmful & have not been adequately tested to prove they are not. My rabbit, cats & dogs when given food with GMO products in them right next to non GMO products will choose the NON gmo food every time!8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Therese
