Ban Plastic BagsLightweight plastic bags are ugly, they don't go away, few locales and fewer individuals recycle them and they kill wildlife when tossed into our woods and streams. We don't need them and we lived perfectly well without them only a few years ago. Missouri has a strong heritage of support for our state's natural beauty - these eye-sores have to go.127 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Aaron Dougherty

Tell Governor Parnell You Support Access to Your Fishing StreamsIn many states public access to fishing streams is blocked by the sale of land to private landowners who restrict access, require exorbitant fees, or rent space for short periods of time. House Bill 144 would protect and enhance the right of Alaskans to enjoy our unparalleled fishing streams into the future by helping ensure that fishing stream access is not sold or developed. The bill has passed both houses unanimously, and now we respectfully request that the Governor join Alaskans and Alaska’s fishing groups in support of this bill by signing this legislation into law. Polite letters to the Governor at sean.parnell @alaska.gov and [email protected] are encouraged so he knows the measure enjoys public support.

Protect Wildlife Health In ColoradoWe need to protect the natural movement, daily and seasonal, of wildlife in the US, by removing unneeded fencing, and altering fencing that is unfriendly for wildlife movement on public lands and give incentives to do so on private lands. We also need to make corridors over and under roads so that motorists are safer as well. This can create jobs in rural America, bring tourism to many areas, and increase the health of heard populations, which can increase hunting licences, and bring more tourism dollars.43 of 100 SignaturesCreated by GREGORY PHELPS
