Wolves in the Lower-48 States Need Your HelpURGENT UPDATE: Earthjustice attorneys have heard that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service might put out its proposed national wolf delisting rule within days. We need you to act now! Any day now, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service may remove federal Endangered Species Act protections for gray wolves across nearly the entire lower 48 states. This would be a disastrous setback for gray wolf recovery in the United States. The recovery of gray wolves is an American success story, from their reintroduction in the northern Rocky Mountains to their comeback in the western Great Lakes states. But there are few, if any, gray wolves in the vast majority of their former range. If the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service removes gray wolf federal protections, wolves in the Pacific Northwest, California, the southern Rocky Mountains, and the Northeast will face even more difficult odds than they do already. It is critical that the administration not proceed with a blanket national delisting of the gray wolf, when wolves are still missing across so much of the U.S. landscape. Urge President Obama and Secretary of Interior Sally Jewell to maintain protections for gray wolves in the lower 48 states.369 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Doug Honnold, Earthjustice

Bring Some Sanity to the "War on Drugs"The so-called "War on Drugs" has turned a public health problem into a multi-billion dollars taxpayer boondoggle. Sen. Mark Leno's Senate Bill 649 would move California towards a smarter, humane, cost-effective system. It would reduce overcrowding in our prisons by allowing prosecutors to charge non-California drug possession as a misdemeanor, rather than a felony. SB 649 would free up funds currently supporting jails to be used for drug treatment instead. Studies show that in the 13 states that classify drug possession as a misdemeanor, treatment rates are higher and incarceration rates are lower, with no increase in crime.98 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Eddie Kurtz

Arizona Automobile Fairness ActArizona residents need work on reforming antiquated methods of collecting revenue related to buying and driving their vehicles. We request that our representatives in state government enact the following: * Eliminate sales tax on purchases / leases of new vehicles - this will encourage people to buy newer, safer, less-polluting, and more efficient vehicles. * Eliminate vehicle registration fees - this system is backwards and nonsensical, as you're currently rewarded for driving an older, more dangerous, more-polluting, and less efficient vehicle. This also means that nobody can ever receive a ticket for having expired tags on their vehicle, which only hurts the poor (and/or disorganized) population, and further burdens our law enforcement and judicial system. This also discourages people from registering their vehicles out of state, which is an all-too-common practice. Finally, this is one less annual bill to pay - with so many people living paycheck to paycheck, this only causes a downward spiral in their personal finances. * Change High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes to High Efficiency Vehicle (HEV) lanes - cars with higher fuel efficiency can use these lanes, tied to the MPGe rating of the vehicle. This determination will adjust each year as vehicles become more efficient. It doesn't seem logical that two people in a 10mpg car can currently use these lanes, while one person in a 40mpg car cannot. * Allow the sale of vehicles through retail outlets such as shopping malls, either direct to manufacturer or direct to dealer. More cars will be sold if a manufacturer or dealer were in a location such as a shopping mall where tens of thousands of people pass by, and this opens up former dealership land for the development of high density residential, retail, and commercial space. * Prohibit the current system of estimating insurance costs by ZIP code... this is unfair, as you could reside in a safe ZIP code and pay lower insurance but work in a ZIP code known to have more accidents... and you could reside in a ZIP code known to have more accidents and pay higher insurance even though you drive less, walk/bike to work, use public transit, or even work from home. This is unfair and discriminatory. * How do we pay for these changes? Shift the collection of vehicle registration fees and sales taxes to the gasoline tax. This will guarantee that everyone is paying their fare share of infrastructure construction and maintenance. Many Arizona drivers do not have their vehicles registered or game the system by registering their vehicles in states without registration fees, putting more burden on the rest of us who are law-abiding citizens. Anyone from out of state who is driving in Arizona, and anyone who is just visiting Arizona or passing through Arizona will no longer have free use of our highways and roadways. Everyone driving will finally pay their fare share for every mile driven, and will be rewarded if those miles driven are in newer, more efficient, safer, cleaner vehicles. All of these measures will have a positive benefit: manufacturers and dealers will sell more vehicles, helping the local and national economy; consumers will have incentives to buy new vehicles at lower prices, reducing their cost per mile to drive; Arizona residents will be financially rewarded for driving safer, more efficient vehicles; out-of-state drivers will finally paying their fare share when driving on Arizona roads. This is only fair... this makes sense... and everyone benefits. Please sign this petition, and please share it with everyone you know!76 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ben Bethel

Require Labels for Monsanto ProduceAs the engineering of seeds (either through genetic modification or cross-breading) has become bigger and bigger business, consumers have no way of knowing where the seeds for the produce they eat originate from. This buffers companies like Monsanto, which has elicited public criticism for questionable and aggressive business practices, from public boycotts. It also increases the momentum towards fewer seed varietals and subspecies being available for consumption. For instance, we used to have 307 different varieties of sweet corn available for commercial distribution in 1903. Today we have only 12. (Source: Rural Advancement Foundation International). We, the public, should have access to information on the origins of our food. Let's require grocery stores to label the source of the seeds for their produce as well as the location it was grown.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Florence Williams
