• Traffic Accident Cleanup Responsibility Act
    Ever notice all the debris on the side of the roads? A lot of this debris is left-over debris from traffic accidents. I believe the person in charge of removing this debris is the tow truck driver. I know they sweep up a little bit from the road, but a lot of it is left behind on the side of the road. Why can't the tow truck driver be prepared with the necessary tools to remove all the parts and debris. Throw it all inside the damaged vehicles, that's where it all came from to begin with.

  • Stop discharge of firearms in housing developments in North Carolina
    Many violators of firearm use in housing developments are discharging high powered rifles and machine guns. There is also the issue of poaching which is becoming common place because of lax laws. Streams are being polluted by the lead deposited in them which feed into the local wells. There is also the issue of Breach of Peace, devaluation of property and nuisance attraction by children. When poachers are in your backyard...it is time to take a stand! This would in no way interfere with the right to carry a handgun in a legal fashion or defend your property/life. Also, it would not interfere with firing at legally operated ranges.

  • STOP SMOKING IN PUBLIC SPACES
    The nation is moving in this direction already. First smoking was banned on airplanes; then in the workspace; later, extended to restaurants and even bars. New York City banned smoking in stadia and taxis and extended the law to include all public parks and beaches last year. Most jurisdictions have banned smoking in cars when there are children present. However, entering a public building or even walking down the street is still like running the gauntlet and hazardous to one's health. While smokers should be able to retain some rights, their rights should terminate at non-smokers' noses. If you can smell it, you're being exposed to carcinogens, which is simply not only hazardous, but unfair. Smoking causes 440,000 deaths in America annually and adds to the burden on the health care system and tax payers along with lost productivity in the workplace. I urge reasonable people to support the notion of further restricting smoking in all public spaces where others may be exposed.

  • A call to stabilize the SREC market.
    The Solar renewable Energy market has been severely hurt by over-production of Solar Electricity in NJ. NJ residents that invested in NJ's future are being hurt and workers who are employed in the solar industry are being laid off due to the lack of response from the NJ Legislature. They need to take action quickly to protect residents investment and workers jobs in the solar industry.

  • Fund and deploy SkyTran to eliminate need for foreign oil
    SkyTran is a personal rapid transit system that would allow commuters and others to travel in small, automated cars suspended above the road, directly to their destinations, without having to deal with slow bus times, other passengers, traffic, or set schedules: just get in the next available car, tell it where you want to go, and it takes you there, bypassing all road-based congestion.

  • Ban the use of plastic bags in grocery and retail outfits
    This petition is about the sensible use of resources with an eye to ecological preservation. People should sign it as a decisive step toward reclaiming the natural environment from corporate contmainants and preserving it against them. Banning plastic bags would be a great step in reducing unrecyclable trash, biodegradable sacks can be made from potatoes, corn and many of the GMO products we no longer want to consume ourselves. It would take much less petrolium to produce and ship biodegradable bags than plastic bags, which are mostly made from petrolium. This has worked in San Frascisco, now Austin, TX has banned plastic bags, it is our turn. If everyone brought their canvas bags to the store, each time they shopped, we as a consumer would have already decided this for grocery and retail outlets, but we forget, when we forget we no longer have the option if shopping for more than a few items. Please sign this... my friend started this for me. Please sign it and share it..If this works, my next petition will be to the city on making trafic flow better, I think it is such a waste of petrolium to stop at every light..

  • Worlds Oceans
    I feel we need more attention going towards cleaning the oceans and protecting fish breeding. There are very few protected breeding sites for fish, with protecting mating cites we can prevent the worlds oceans from going dry! Apple had a fantastic year in '11, a good slogan could be "Jobs for Jobs," saving the ocean and feeding you brain food! (needed to use the products!)

  • Free Tim DeChristopher
    Tim DeChristopher is a climate change activist who was jailed for obstructing what turned out to be an illegal Bureau of Land Managment land sale. No one else involved in the sale has even been investigated, including one of the Koch brothers. He has received a harsh sentence relative to his crime and has already been harshly treated on an actual whim of the GOP. He needs to be released so that he can work on his appeal.

  • Stop the New Nuke Power Loan Guarantees
    The Department of Energy is poised to give $8.33 billion in loan guarantees to the Georgia Vogtle double-reactor project that could irradiate the planet and bankrupt the state. But especially after the Solyndra bankruptcy, details of the deal are coming under intense scrutiny, at the Office of Management and Budget and elsewhere. If we stop this boondoggle there may never be another nuclear plant built in the US.
