Brownback's tax cuts have backfired and our legislature is now scrambling to find a way to save the Kansas economy. Ending the prohibition of marijuana would increase state tax revenues and significantly decrease wasteful spending on marijuana enforcement, prosecution, and incarceration. (A $200 transaction can cost taxpayers and the government $100,000 for a three-year sentence.) Domestically grown marijuana is thought to be the second MOST PROFITABLE cash crop in the United States. Think about the kind of impact that could have on our economy! Look at the U.S. alcohol beverage industry. Ending prohibition on alcohol paid off nicely. In 2011, the industry generated $91 billion in wages and over 3.9 million jobs for U.S. workers. In reality, ending this prohibition would also increase the number of people moving into the state (or at least decrease the number of people we are losing to Colorado) and increase tourism leading to more outside spending with all Kansas businesses. This as a viable solution to our current economic nightmare. The rest of the country is headed this way, so it makes sense to take advantage of the enormous financial benefits of being a pioneer before the rest of the country catches up.

As Texas MoveOn members we have worked tirelessly to get the money out of politics, to empower the powerless and equalize the playing field for all Americans over the past ten years. Senator Warren speaks boldly about the values that could re-create our democracy in the image we long for. Her dedication to challenging the banks and Wall Street, lowering interest rate on college loans, establishing not just a minimum wage but a living wage, protecting our environment from the reckless fossil fuel industry and calling out both Republicans and Democrats alike when they vote with the lobbyists and against our best interests as Americans makes her one of the most progressive candidate we could elect as President in the 21st Century. But first we need to draft her to run. Sign this petition calling on Senator Warren to run for President in 2016.

Please impeach Brownback for violating the sacred trust between governor and people and for putting the will of lobbyists and corporate backers before the needs of the people.

The onslaught of money unleashed by the Supreme Court with Citizens United is destroying our democracy. That's why 45,000 Clean Money supporters joined Money Out Voters In and other Californians demanding California’s legislature put a measure on the ballot letting voters tell Congress to overturn Citizens United. The legislature listened and put Prop 49 on the ballot. Unfortunately, California’s Supreme Court silenced voters by removing it from the ballot. Now the Court is taking up the case again, so we must demand they restore Prop 49 to next year’s ballot. Please sign our petition now and share it with your friends!

The individual freedoms , quality of life , and financial stability are being irreparably damaged by incompetent leadership and corrupted politics. The residents of Douglas County being a tolerant, educated , and progressive population should not have to live under this nonsense.

I will abolish all property taxes and declare every Friday a paid day off for city employees.

I am a teacher at an elementary school that serves as a voting site. I see voters throughout each voting day. Two things are consistently true about the voters; there aren't very many of them, and they are typically older, retired people who have time to vote. Even though voting may be important to younger and middle-aged people, having to go to a voting site can be difficult or impossible for the millions of people who have busy families and who work long hours to make ends meet. In this day and age, on-line voting is extremely important in order for there to be fair elections. It is time to change our 200-year old voting process.

After resigning from the Police department in the mists of a sexual harassment lawsuit, and after being convicted in Federal Court on extortion, making false statements and violating gambling laws, and being sentenced to 7.5 years, he should have his $10,000 pension removed. It is also important to note, he was convicted for crimes he committed while serving as the Chief of Police of Savannah. "I don't know why, Mr. Lovett, you made a decision to dishonor your badge. Dishonor your name and dishonor your department. That is a decision you made a long time ago and now you are going to have to live with the consequences of that decision," ~Judge John Morse

The Proposed Federal Budget for the next year continues the madness of a bloated monster military taking 55% of total spending by the Federal Government and if you add on the Vet. benefits it takes 61% of all spending. Everything else takes the back of the bus to fight over the scraps remaining. It is time to change this madness and demand that the military stand down from the Federal feeding trough and change the percentage of spending to the vast needs within our nation, for our people and for our future. Limit the current bloated military spending to not more than 50% of the total budget including the vet. benefits and continue to lower the % to reasonable levels in the years to come.

More than 1.5 million Michigan workers — about 46% of the state’s private sector workforce — can't take a paid sick day when they're ill. As a result, they go to work while sick or send their sick children to school because they can’t take the day off to care for them. It's wrong to force working families to choose between a day's pay and their health. This commonsense solution is long overdue.

I've sit back to long now watching american be divided when it come time to vote. How corporation pay millions of dollars to divide the sleeping giant (which is us the common diverse Americans). See my theory is if we the sleeping giant stick together we will out vote all the other parties put together and some!!! The giant just needs to be awakened!!! All big business will have to come to us, then we will have a real say in what's going on in America!!! Let's open are eyes and see that the billions of dollars being used to campaign, can be redirected back into these communities that need it!!! We are not looking for a hand out just a piece of the pie that we earned!!! A diverse American Party would bring power to all the little Joe/Joann publics of America!!! United we will make change for the future!!!

Corruption in our political system is not the only issue facing our nation but it is, by and large, THE FIRST! We can fix the ongoing corruption at the federal level, but the states MUST ACT. Let's make New Hampshire the 4th in the nation to pass a resolution calling for an Article V Convention of the States. Let's get money out of politics, one state at a time!
