We are being poisoned by the foods we are being offered in our stores. Through the Genetically Modified Organisms we are being poisoned. This particularly affects children through their health and behaviors.

This petition in short is my own personal attempt to save America from itself and allow our nations wildlife and habitat to forever thrive under this constitutional amendment which I hope to have help incorperating into the Endangered Species Act, which is the only soverign voice that nature has among our laws to ensure it endours this age of industrialized expansion of capitolism. I want to ensure that our free market remains in tact allowing local businesses the right to affectively compete and prohibiting excessive corperate franchise expansion to areas that must be protected. It would also aid in teaching us as Americans that we must use our freedoms to build our homes and lives within the balance of nature, instead of us whining over such inconviences like local habitat and wildlife which might get in the way of our hunting hobbies, or golf courses. It's time to live responsibly and freedom and pursuit of happiness should extend past our own species, to the rest of earth's creations.

At a time when climate change threatens continued life on the planet, UCSF plans on removing 30,000 trees from San Francisco's Mount Sutro. Take Action! Contact the Governor, the California Board of Regents, and the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. If they do not respond, take to the streets! Save Our Planet (S.O.P.)!

With community encouragement, our county recently turned down an offer to use fracking waste (undisclosed toxic chemical waste from hydrofracking) as de-icing 'brine' on our roads. Our water source, a well, is about 6 feet from the road. Chemicals used on our roads can stick to our shoes and run-off into our water sources. Legislation and oversight of this practice needs to be immediate and strong, yet doesn't yet exist. Let's get it started.

PCB recycling

Southern California Edison has never been forthcoming about the hazards of nuclear fall out from this ill-designed plant. It is a danger to all life in Southern California. We need more solar and wind energy, and not another dirty, unsafe nuclear power plant.

Many Americans are unable to afford a small home as they cannot afford the current building requirements. While it is feasible to build a small home with solar for under $30k including property, it is currently illegal to do so without costly unnecessary non-green systems, doubling the cost adding an additional $15k - $45k to the cost pricing the home out of reach for potentially millions of Americans.

In 2010, the Food and Drug Administration began paving the way for approval of genetically engineered (GE) salmon. The first transgenic animal approved for human consumption, GE salmon would open the floodgates for GE cows and pigs, which biotech companies are waiting in the wings to finally commercialize after years of research and development. Not to be outdone by the FDA, this year the U.S. Department of Agriculture has already approved three GE products. First the department announced it would allow unrestricted growing of GE alfalfa, which could destroy the organic dairy industry and block farmers from the export market since many countries won’t accept GE-contaminated crops. The USDA has also “partially deregulated” GE sugar beets and approved a new type of GE corn that is designed to be facilitate ethanol production. The biotechnology industry has genetically engineered a fish that grows at twice the normal rate, so it can get to market sooner and make more money, faster. The FDA doesn’t even do its own testing of genetically engineered animals: it relies on information provided by the company that wants approval. And because GE salmon are being considered as a new animal drug, the process isn’t focused on what happens to people who eat genetically engineered animals. So on top of the health concerns posed by raising salmon in crowded factory fish farms that rely on antibiotics and other chemicals, the FDA could be adding the unknown risks of GE salmon to the mix. It’s up to us to demand that our legislators take action by supporting and passing HB 1192 and other measures to label genetically engineered foods in Colorado. This is a joint effort between Food & Water Watch Colorado, MoveOn Denver Metro Council and MoveOn Boulder Council.

Thousands of people and downstream communities like mine, whose drinking water and environment would be at risk of radioactive poisoning, have spoken, and the General Assembly acted to keep the ban in place. For you to even consider flaunting the will of the people by "instruct(ing) state agencies to draft possible mining regulations anyway," is an affront to democratic principles and makes a mockery of your role as a public servant of the people not corporations.

A well can be fracked just fine with plain old water--why are we allowing Big Oil to dump their toxic waste in our watersheds? If you haven't guessed yet, it's because $$$. Frackers should be fored to use water and sand only, or justify the chemicals inserted into fracking fluid.
