Almost everwhere people are experiencing dangerously severe weather. It is well known that the burning of fossil fuels, like coal and oil, cause global warming leading to climate disruption. Petition signers pledge to take action and to urge energy leaders in government and industry to do their part.

Rural Nevada is in a drought too. A natural area almost the size of Vermont will be turned into a dustbowl. And Southern Nevada neither needs the water, nor can it afford the 15 billion dollar cost. Besides; desalination would mean more water for everyone.

Utah legislators should reject the appointment of nuclear industry executive Dan Shrum to the state's new Radiation Control Board. This is literally a case of the fox guarding the hen house. His company, "EnergySolutions", is a company in deep financial difficulties scrambling to ram hotter nuclear waste past Utah officials. Ask the Utah senate to reject his appointment when it votes on August 15th.

Kentucky is number one on a list of the states with the most toxic air pollution from power plants. Nearly 80 percent of the air pollution comes from power plants that burn coal and oil. The three most pollution plants are the Paradise Fossil Plant in western Kentucky, the Big Sandy plant in eastern Kentucky and the Mill Creek Generating Station in Louisville.

In my own state, Iowa, I have seen horrendous floods in 2008 and the threat of massive crop failure this summer. I believe that President Obama can win re-election for himself and other Democrats if he explains the need for action on climate change to the American people. The Republicans will not act on this issue.

Emitting 565 more gigatons of carbon dioxide by 2050 will put us at a 2 degree higher temperature globally, we will actually emit that much carbon in 16 years, by 2028. This 2 degree change is "... a prescription for long-term disaster." according to NASA scientist James Hansen, the planet's most prominent climatologist. There are 5x more fossil fuel reserves than are needed to reach the critical 2 degree overheat level, 10x if it is 1 degree. These reserves are worth $27 trillion. Corporations and drivers will not stop voluntarily. This issue will not fix itself.

This petition is about ending the prohibition of Hemp. The uses of this plant are nearly endless. Paper, medical, clothing and fuel to name a few. The fact some large corporations are fighting to keep it illegal is the very reason it should not be. It's time that our governments do something about the nonsense of prohibiting the very product used as paper for the Constitution for the United States of America.

Reducing the effects of Global Warming and, Yes, The Earth is heating up!

To keep the ban on Uranium mining and exploration in Virginia.

Cement plants southeast of Fort Worth spew soot every day. Coal fired electricity plants do the same.

Tulsa's water supply has recently been treated with chloramine. If you drink tap water you have probably noticed. There are significant health risks associated with chloramine. Chloramines are derivatives of ammonia. Adding chloramine to the water supply can increase exposure to lead in drinking water, especially in areas with older housing; this exposure can result in increased lead levels in the bloodstream and can pose a significant health risk. There is also evidence that exposure to chloramine can contribute to respiratory problems, including asthma, among swimmers. Respiratory problems related to chloramine exposure are common and prevalent among competitive swimmers. Chloramine use, together with chlorine dioxide, ozone, and ultraviolet, have been described as public health concerns and an example of the outcome of poorly implemented environmental regulation. These methods of disinfection decrease the formation of regulated byproducts such as alkyl chloroforms, which has led to their widespread adoption. However, they can increase the formation of a number of less regulated cytotoxic and genotoxic byproducts, some of which pose greater health risks than the regulated chemicals,causing such diseases as cancer, kidney disease, thyroid damage, and birth defects.
