Tooele County citizens elected officials Tooele County Commissioners are trying to remove. Let Tooele County Citizens vote on if Auditor and Clerk departments should be merged.

This petition is to support the candidacy of Tom Houghton for the 16th Congressional District in Pennsylvania. Joe Pitts is out of touch with the voters of the District. The gobbly-goo letter I got from him to explain why he didn't want the government to re-open was the last straw. He could have at least gotten my name right. It's time for the voters of the 16th District to say "No" to Joe Pitts. Tom Houghton has a deserved reputation as a consensus-builder who can help end the stalemate in Washington.

Too many people have worked to hard to make Lansdale a destination. We need to keep that going and Jack Hansen is not the person to do that because he has shown that politics are more important than community! We need to get him out of politics here in Lansdale!

With congress being the least productive in all history, cutting food stamps, veteran benefits, cutting off unemployment to so many, this a travesty. We the people need to make a stand.

On September 12, 2013 my family dog, Major, was removed from his home by the animal control officer for biting an individual. The individual was a contract worker that was working on cutting down a neighbors tree. The individual was advised by my father, the neighbor and his supervisor not to reach over the 5 foot chain link fence to pet Major. The current dog ordinance states that upon release from quarantine by appropriate authorities, should the owner desire to retain the dog the owner shall pay all quarantine costs. The dog shall not return to the city limits of Flatwoods, KY. This ordinance is unjust in that it punishes dogs that are protecting their owners. The way that section 11 of the dog ordinance is worded would allow for a dog to be removed from the home if the dog was protecting the home owner from an unwanted assault by biting the assaulter. This is simply wrong. Major did not have any complaints against him for running loose, biting or being a nuisance. The dog was simply protecting his property and his owners.

The financial crisis in the postal service is a manufactured crisis by Congress and the media. There is much misinformation about the financial condition of the Postal Service,but Congress continues to use postal service revenues to reduce the deficit even though the money is not from tax dollars.The biggest drain is the unique and burdensome requirement by Congress to prefund retiree health benefits 75 years in the future and to do this in a 10 year period. The Postal Service needs to be taken off budget and prefunding stopped.

It's not fair to cut the pensions of anyone, especially Veterans, stop spending all these billions of dollars to foreign countries, cut salaries of government officlals and see how they like it

My neighbor recently retired from the postal service and alerted me to this problem. Further research confirms that the postal service has been under attack by those with an agenda that intends to privatize our public services. The Post Office is already a cross between an agency and a business and is capable of self-funding through its business operations without taxpayer dollars. This service should be honored and nurtured, not bullied into unsustainable "prefunding" of its retirement program for the next 75 years over the next 10 years.

The USPS affects our daily lives, economy and jobs. It is unjust to force the failure of this national institution just for the greed of it's detractors.

If our leadership had to live under the same rules, laws, and programs, they would likely "fix" many of the problems in a quick hurry !!!

I'm signing this petition because the Postal Service has and can again be a services paid for by it's customers organization rather than a drain on taxpayer funds. The pre funding of retiree benefits is simply a means toward two ends. 1. Congress "borrowing" (steeling is more like it) money wherever it can like it did with Social Security. 2. Create an artificial failure so as to say "see, government is incapable of doing anything right and we should therefore "PRIVATIZE" mail service." Who will protect the sanctity and security the mail from theft and fraud? The companies that make billions at the citizen's expense? The Post Office Department (1792-1971) was created as one of the few government agencies explicitly authorized by the United States Constitution. The Postal Reorganization Act birthed the United States Postal Service on August 12, 1970. It replaced the cabinet-level Post Office Department on July 1, 1971. To enable the Post Office Department to serve all Americans, no matter how remote, yet still finance its operations largely from its revenue, Congress gave the Department a monopoly over the carriage of letter-mail by a group of federal laws known as the Private Express Statutes. Without such protection, Congress reckoned that private companies would siphon off high-profit delivery routes, leaving only money-losing routes to the Department, which then would be forced to rely on tax-payers to continue operations.

Don't kid yourself that we live in a democracy when it takes 60 votes to pass legislation by Senators who only represent corporate America. Should senators in North Dakota with a population less than San Francisco have more clout per capita than senators in California? Both political parties are to blame for the dysfunction and gridlock in the Senate. They believe in “rule by the minority,” not in real democracy, otherwise they would rid the Senate of the filibuster to pass legislation and to nominate Supreme Court candidates. To abolish the Senate, the reactionary House, gerrymandered by the Koch brothers, has to be restructured more like a parliament while still retaining independent judiciary and executive branches. Our Constitution is not sacred. It supported slavery. To abolish the Senate will take a mass movement like the civil rights movement. It will take amendments to the Constitution proposed by 2/3 of the states holding state conventions to require Congress to hold a National Convention. This path has never been taken before. It will take 3/4 of the states to hold ratifying conventions, which has only been done once before to abolish prohibition. I live in a city that lacks the resources to send police to homes that are being burglarized. I live in a country that rather spend money on guns than books. We need to focus on establishing democracy in America.
