The federal government has classified industrial hemp as a nacrcotic in schedule 1 along with cocaine and heroin, even though hemp is not a drug at all.. Remember the government film "Hemp for victory" (in 1943)? Hemp has over 300,000 uses. It can be used as food, fuel and fiber. We currently import hemp from Canada (which grows some 550,000 acres of hemp). Hemp is arguably the most useful plant on the planet, and the people of Washington state have a God given right to grow it. Free the people from this unjust legislation. Hemp for victory 2013!

State workers in the current retirement system have to work until age 65 before receiving their pension, regardless of their years of service. (This bill allows workers as young as 55 to retire, but they would have to have at least 35 years of service.)

Congress regularly legislates laws on social security, medicare, medical, federal/union/private state pension rights WHILE the whole time being seperate and inequal from those systems they invoke on the tax payer paying THEIR salaries. Only two years of work as a senator give congress full golden-parachute rides their whole life while they vote to freeze cost of living increases to police/emergencyworkers/military and they are not affected by the same draconian reductions they pan out. Let's require congress to work a full 20-30 years before vested in the SAME pension the rest of us taxpayers work.

Take all the money out of politics. Not only should we overturn Citizens United, but we also demand using only public money from our taxes to fund short, substantive campaigns. We demand free TV time for policy speeches and debates with the public's questions. There should be no more 30 second sound bites. Politicians would need to talk policy in the (let's say) six weeks of a campaign cycle.

Stop the influence of big money against your rights.

Get Corbett out of Harrisburg now before he sinks the whole state in bankruptcy.

Political adds on television can be misleading or totally untrue. This can result in the electorate voting against their own interests. One obvious example of this was when John Kerry, a true Vietnam War hero, was portrayed in smear campaign on TV, as a coward by the so called "Swift boat veterans for truth". The American people ultimately reelected the draft dodger and military deserter, George Bush. Television adds are very costly. Fund-raising to pay for these adds, is the leading cause of corruption, allowing politicians to be bought, like a commodity on the market. In Europe, political adds are not allowed on television, to prevent this type of manipulation by the powers that be.

The United States is in danger of becoming an oligarchy, ruled by powerful, controlling interests, rather than a true democracy. The Occupy Movement was a collective expression of concern over this trend. But it lacked focus and direction. This petition is intended to provide a central platform that can galvanize the country as a whole into action.

lifers in congress are subverting democracy while enriching themselves and their corporate masters. two terms in the senate and three in the house is quite enough. the founders fathers never envisioned a class of professional politicians working only for themselves.

There is currently NO way to obtain medicinal marijuana in Nevada legally, yet it is ok to Grow your own. If policies were in place on a state level, We could introduce to the hospitals, a research program & an alternative option for Post Cancer Treatment Medication and the TAX revenue will be poured back to the state in order to support under funded community programs. - "Why do we have to hide in the dark with a state issued license to grow for personal use, yet we are preventing those who don't have that option, the freedom of choice to have treatment" We already distribute to people and patients in need, why not take the revenue back and help everyone's future, young and old!
