I am starting this petition in order to: 1. ensure that Oregon's recreational cannabis laws serve and benefit the people, environment, and the economy of Oregon with sustainability in mind, not just fiscal interests. 2. ensure the state of Oregon's tax dollars paying for the salaries of those serving the public aren't wasted on employees that have served in industries in the past that may cause a conflict of interest 3. ensure that the people appointed to these positions serve the public and state legislators ethically, intelligently, and without bias. I believe with these three points in mind we can write the best possible marijuana laws that will create a strong local economy, protect our invaluable environments due to the influx of growers and people moving to the state, and ensure that this medicinal plant isn't perverted by recreational use. This needs to be a public discussed subject that utilizes that vast amount of science surrounding the cultivation and use of cannabis's social, economic, health and environmental impacts. Thank you for your interest and please share and discuss publicly! Sincerely, Wesley Wagner (petition author) Oregon resident since 1991 [email protected]

I have started this petiton because I personally know how horrible some school lunches are. Many of my friends agree, and our class has started a persuasive essay unit, and many of my classmates have written about the topic too.

A dog beloved by shelter volunteers was put down today. As a member of a rescue group, my appeal to rescue the dog and accept all risk and liability was denied.

Because Joy Reid's show deserves not to be cancelled. She is one of the best at MSNBC and they will lose a large viewership without her.

The 35mph speed limit is too slow to be safe, and needs to be increased. There are sidewalks, crosswalks, and pedestrian crossing signals to keep foot traffic safe. There are 3 traffic lights that control traffic flow and they provide plenty of breaks in traffic so people can get in and out of local businesses. Those arguments for a 35mph speed limit bear no merit and do not hold water. Byram's only reason left is the stated goal of distracting drivers from driving so they will pay more attention to local businesses. Byram should not be trying to distract driver's attention from the road for the alleged gain of local businesses. Byram offers no proof that a lower speed limit does, in fact, achieve their stated goal. Is there any proof tha a speed limit of 35mph results in more business than a speed limit of 40? North of Shoprite there are no businesses, so why does the speed limit stay 35mph all the way to Lakeland Emergency Squad? I spoke to a representative of NJDOT in reference to my complaint. She was familiar with the section of highway in question, agreed with me and wished me luck. Byram, this is EVERYONE'S highway. Why don't you do the right thing and implement the speed limits I've suggested, as it was before the construction? People just want to get home. Drivers have enough distractions without Byram adding to them. Increase the speed limit. I was passed by 7 vehicles as I drove through there last Sunday at 35. My town's mayor was passed by a school bus Tuesday evening when he drove through at the speed limit. It isn't right for Byram to make every driver a law breaker. Please sign and share this petition now.

We The Undersigned; Petition The City of Nome, Alaska to rebuild Glue Pot on 224 East Front Street Nome, Alaska 99762. We continue to hold sentimental value to Glue Pot and would like to see it built back up and fully functional in it's previous physical address.

Current and proposed legislation and Executive actions to limit Carbon Dioxide are counter-productive, unnecessary and expensive. Check the facts, not the hype.

I'm starting this petition because a park (Moore Park) not too far from where I live got renovated. In addition to that, they attached another building to the field house at that park which is almost complete. If that park can get a complete renovation, Clark Playground can, too. 13 years without a basketball tournament is a long time and I wanna break that streak. It's long overdue!

Service Providers like AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, etc. are selling our private information to NSA. Innocent people are targeted everyday and they are treated inappropriately based on the information so gathered. This should be stopped.

On November 5, 2014 538 video copies of the full record of the Citizen Hearing on Disclosure (CHD) were shipped to all members of the United States Congress. Shortly after these 10-DVD sets are received, PRG's registered lobbyist, Stephen Bassett, will renew direct engagement of the U. S. Congress for the first time since 2000 seeking new congressional hearings on extraterrestrial related phenomena. http://paradigmresearchgroup.org, http://youtu.be/WZBN_9NMhUA

Sens. Warren and Sanders have offered progressives about the only hope we have of being represented by the next U.S. president. However, with Sen. Warren supporting Hillary Clinton, a "perfect storm" is in place for them to play "useful idiots" for candidate Clinton to coopt their progressive rhetoric and betray it as president. Unless Clinton's oligarch donors are stupid, we all need to stop her candidacy dead in its tracks.
