The Public is the forth coequal branch of the federal government, and it is still unaware of this and how we propose to how to rectify this problem or issue in an active and positive manner for the integration of folks who want to help solve problems with knowledge and sunshine.

Gun violence must be greatly reduced but gun owners claim that laws prohibiting any kind of weapon or ammo clip infringes on their rights. It's time to attach some societal responsibility to the right to bear arms.

Bi-partisanship in the House and Senate is vital to the smooth running of government programs, the nation’s economy and passing important legislation. That is the only way to end our fiscal troubles, pass good immigration reform, and other important legislation.

Currently in North Carolina, state law does not restrict a public employee’s ability to leave state government and go to work for, or represent, a private entity. Many states have a "cooling off period" of 1-2 years before a public employee may go to work for a private interest they once regulated, but in NC that period is only 6 months, and it applies only to activities that qualify as lobbying. The Governor is tasked with making new appointments to the North Carolina Utilities Commission, which regulates the activities of privately owned utilities (e.g. phone, electricity, water/sewer). The North Carolina Utilities Commission, like other NC government commissions, has very few restrictions preventing "revolving door" politics. Conflicts of interest (or the appearance of conflicts of interest) can impact the integrity of the Commission to make fair decisions in the interest of the public. We are petitioning to ask that new appointees voluntarily abide by a two-year "cooling-off period" to indicate their commitment to unbiased decision-making and fairness in government.

The South Dakota voters have shown not once, but TWICE, that we support a woman's right to choose what is right for her body in regard to pregnancy, yet bills keep being introduced in attempt to ban or limit abortion. The newest is an attempt to remove holidays and weekends from the "eligible days" of the already absurd 72-hour waiting period before a woman can obtain an abortion. This makes the procedure nearly impossible to schedule, as there is only one clinic in the state that performs abortions. The legislators need to stop wasting taxpayer time, money, and resources in this endless battle that has already been fought and defeated.......TWICE. Stop stifling the voice of the voters, and accept what we are telling you: South Dakota is a pro-choice state and wants to remain that way!

Under the "winner take all" method, there have been elections where the candidate who wins the popular vote fails to win the electoral college vote. The "winner take all" method is the cause of excessive political spending and severe tensions in a few battleground states. This petition seeks to reduce to role of money in elections.

Our Sate Government has been taken Hostage by Big Money, Voters suppression and Gerrymandering to force the wills of the powerful and Rich who' Ideas are not the wills of the Progressive State. Individual Rights, Jobs and opportunity are being stripped away.
