It is time for the state legislatures to pass statewide rules and regulations to govern the medical marijuana industry in California. It is only in this way that we stand a chance of blocking the federal government from interfering with the rights and needs of medical marijuana patients and the dispensaries which supply them.

Under the Affordable Care Act, states are eligible to receive new funding to expand their Medicaid programs. Montana lawmakers have not yet indicated if they will accept the funds to expand Medicaid in Montana. Tell Montana state legislators to accept federal Medicaid dollars and protect the 64,000 Montanans that would benefit.

NO CHEATING, FIGHT FAIR!!! some states governors are planing to rig future presidential elections, with their proposals Obama would have lost to Romney eventhough he won the electoral votes, the voice of the majority should still count.

For too long we have been too complacent about the workings of Congress. Many citizens had no idea that members of Congress could retire with the same pay after only one term, that they specifically exempted themselves from many of the laws they have passed (such as being exempt from any fear of prosecution for sexual harassment) while ordinary citizens must live under those laws. The latest is to exempt themselves from the Healthcare Reform that passed ... in all of its forms. Somehow, that doesn't seem logical. We do not have an elite that is above the law. I truly don't care if they are Democrat, Republican, Independent or whatever. The self-serving must stop.

I understand that redistricting is sometimes necessary as populations grow, but unfortunately a lot of redistricting is taking place these days and not for the reasons that it was initially intended for. Redistricting for political gain, known as jerrymandering, affects what parties control the House of Representatives, it could also affect other elections as well. This is a democracy for and by the people, and the people’s votes should not be tampered with in any way no matter what party they belong to.

The undocumented population, who came here to work and not be criminals, have been marginalized by immigration laws and enforcement policies. This approach is perpetuated by the language of today's immigration reform discussion: "harsh penalties", "the end of the line", no pathway to citizenship until the borders are sealed, and the reemergence of EVerify. We must stop the criminalization of those who have been captured in the dragnet of enforcement to allow them to remain in this country with their families.

Equal laws for all. No "special deals for any government persons.

House Bill 2023: - is both unfair and unconstitutional. - singles out teachers and denies them an opportunity to have their voice heard in the political process. - is mean-spirited, unfair, and runs counter to the values we hold dear as Americans. This bill harms the education of our children - Kansas' future!

The 2012 U.S. Presidential Election displayed the continued long voting lines and forced provisional ballot voting due to voters being unable to vote before the polls closed. In the 21st century America has the technology to modernize its voting system to ensure that every legally cast vote is counted and verifiable by implementing EVoteTechnology.

This petition speaks to the Republican desire to gain as much control as possible of the political system. They do this because they do not have strong issues on which to run.

Stop siding with ultra-conservatives, and think of the people of Iowa. Stop partisan politics-playing so something can get done for the people.

Having Governor Kasich remove his selection of Todd Snitchler as the Chairman of the Ohio PUCO (Public Utilities Commission of Ohio) for constantly being openly unfair and absolutely against Ohio's law to generate 20% green energy by 2020.
