This petition is being started because the time is now to get over these draconian laws against a plant that was once the number one cash crop in this nation. Its benefit as an industrial crop is well documented. As a medical alternative it is quickly becoming obvious that it is far more beneficial than harmful, and as a recreational drug, it is far safer(and less addictive) than any of the alternatives. The time is now. Stop the prohibition against this plant that is far too beneficial to be ignored any longer. Take a stand for the full legalization of cannabis, as an industrial crop, a medical alternative, and a recreational drug. Instead of locking people up, tax it, and apply that money to the betterment of our state.

I believe in sustainable, eco-friendly, healthy living. As well as financial and environmental sustainability of our state and industries. Legalize the growing of industrial hemp in Hawaii by voting YES on industrial hemp bill SB2175 HD2.

I live here in Minneapolis, MN in a senior building called Park Holmes Village. The chemicals came here from Montgomery, MD where the Police refused to stop the chemicals at Forest Oak Towers, a Senior Building, owned by the government. Park Holmes Village is a Senior building supported by the government, the same behavioral pattern exists here where the Manager and Management refuses to stop the harassers. The Police refuses to do a proper Investigation but threatens and abuses me. Other people are affected but do not know it is toxic fumes that causing the illnesses here. One harasser died here recently, several people were affected at Forest Oak Towers in Maryland and Ebenezer Park Apartments in Minnesota. The same thing is happening here where the Police refused to do an Investigation but threaten and abuse to stop the message that these chemicals attack the Nervous System to cause pain and disability plus focuses on any Vital Organ to disable and kill its victims. The behavioral pattern is that the second floor has tenants with chemicals to spray down to the lobby, community room hallways plus laundry room. The leader in under me in 110, he sprays all day and night , until I go to sleep, plus when I am asleep to disable me. I am only a messenger to report this terroristic act in a World Power country. Using chemicals to harm Human beings and animals is an terroristic act. This behavior must be stopped and a proper and covert Investigation must be done immediately to stop the networking and experiments of these chemicals. There was an terroristic act in Syria killing civilians with chemicals, stop this behavior here in America and get these chemicals to be tested and assessed to see what is causing pain and disability plus death among those that are vulnerable to these harmful substances. Maryland, Minnesota and Illinois are Democratic States of America. By neglecting to stop this behavior, it means supporting the creators of these chemicals to be successful as the Syrians and the Russians using chemicals to kill. You need to get chemical professionals to get these chemicals from one apartment, 110 Tom Hines, to stop it everywhere in Minneapolis, MN and everywhere in USA and the other countries of the World.

Potrero is our neighborhood and the removal of 53 spaces will seriously impact 53 households, hundreds of residents who will not be able to park near home.

December 2013 marked the 40th anniversary of the Endangered Species Act, one of the world's strongest and most effective wildlife protection laws. Unfortunately, just at this time when we celebrate four decades of success with the ESA, a bill that could rightly be called the “Extinction Act” has been introduced by anti-environment lawmakers in the House and Senate (H.R. 3533 / S. 1731). This bill would gut the ESA and put imperiled species at greater risk. This bill would harm imperiled species by: - Automatically removing them from the lists of endangered and threatened species after five years, whether or not they've recovered. - Letting politics win over science by requiring that state governors give their consent before species in their states can be listed under the ESA, and requiring a joint resolution of Congress to approve the listing of species as threatened or endangered. - Undermining citizens' ability to enforce the ESA in court and to help protect imperiled species by filing citizen listing petitions.

The difficulty and time it takes to be paid for services rendered is UNACCEPTABLE and needs IMMEDIATE RESOLUTION! Early Steps Providers owed THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS are unable to pay mortgages and other bills, buy Christmas presents, carry full work caseloads, pay taxes, etc as a result of these issues. These are billing issues the Providers have not caused, and should therefore not be penalized to resolve them by spending countless UNPAID hours begging Med3000 for our money!

My ears.

I have hit a wall of unfair financial calculations that has literally bankrupted me and has also kept me from receiving any aid that would be afforded to someone who earns what I do after Child support is deducted. For most Fathers or non custodial parents, the child support payments are automatically deducted from our paychecks and sent onto the MN Child Support Collection Agency. I am a contractor and working for a company. My Child support (56%) is taken out, leaving me a monthly paycheck of $1580. This does not have taxes taken out. After my home payment (which is on a home savers loan at 2% interest) and $175 to the bankruptcy trustee, I have $10 to purchase: gas, groceries, electric, trash pickup, heat, car insurance …etc. This does not include the taxes I have not been able to pay all year. I am not writing about the unfair family law rulings that disregard a fathers right to exist. The financial calculations I am referencing is the ones used for “in forma pauperis”, obtaining legal aid, Minnesota Energy Assistance Program. These guidelines put a single Father at a 3 month total gross income of $5,673 or below to receive assistance. This does not allow for the funds the Father does not even see in his paycheck. If I was a single person without children making $1580 per month, I would qualify. The child support is taken out before anything else. Before it is even mailed to the employees. I am not even talking taxes which would be the same for Fathers and single men. Fathers are penalized and support that would be afforded to the custodial mothers since the child support is not included in their income and placing them at a much lower rate, is denied the non-custodial parent. I owe over 2 months electric, all of this year’s taxes, now braces for 2 of my children. I need help and fairness. Fathers are forced into a continual spiral of worse case scenarios. I have to represent myself in court and am a legal punching bag. Bias in family law is very real, representing yourself means you shouldn’t even show up. The order will read whatever the opposing council writes down. My child support should show that. My ex makes as much as I do before the $1650 in child support she receives. ( tax free). For roughly $4700 per month. Deductions at the end of the year, only part of that is taxed. But yet, with the children she qualified for free legal aid, in forma paupris…etc I am told, I make too much money with a monthly paycheck that reaches me of $1580 before taxes on $3200 per month. Simply, Child Support should be deducted from a Father’s income if it is automatically deducted. Even if it is not automatically deducted, the amount would still be owed and collected. Please help the Fathers get a fair chance to have representation, pay their electric bills and ultimately have a life with their children. Thank you

Not only am I a regular facebook user, I am also a page administrator. I run several pages and since facebook has decided that memes, joke, and pictures of your favorite animals are "low quality" content mine and everyone else's pages have been strangled on their reach. Facebook wants me, and all page owners, to PAY for the fans that have ALREADY LIKED our pages to see our posts. It's not chunk change either. They want us to pay 30-400 dollars a DAY so a few thousand people see ONE post. How often have you read a meme or a joke or saw an adorable kitten picture on facebook and it has brightened your day? If you don't want that to disappear forever then you need to SPEAK UP NOW and tell facebook that you WON'T be pushed around!

This petition has been created to help others suffering from medical conditions when current medications do not work and the use of the cannabis plant may provide relief. As the creator of this petition, I personally have experienced multiple times when traditional prescription medications fail to provide relief from my ailments (anxiety, insomnia, ADHD). Working in nursing has shown areas where traditional Medecine lacks or it's side effects outweigh the benefits, and with your help we can bring forward an all natural SAFE alternative to pharmaceutical prescription medications.

I am a mother of a preteen girl and we have to protect our children. Continued support of R.Kelly is suggesting that his actions and behavior are acceptable and we DO NOT accept it. It is deplorable and his victims would agree. We need to stand up for what's right and stop glorifying a known pedophile.
