  • Let's Stop Animal Abuse With Senate Bill 6
    Animal abuse is a big problem in Oregon and there is not a big enough punishment for it to be threatening to abusers. We want to make the punishment bigger so that there is less abuse. We want this for the animals, but this is for the people too. Studies show that some animal abusers go on to do abusive and destructive things that can affect the people, for example setting fires. So if we put a stop to animal abuse everyone will be safer. The law itself allows five years in prison but there is a sentencing grid that limits the punishment to 120 days maximum. We want to change the grid and make sure that the grid matches the law so abusers get the proper punishment. This is part of what Senate Bill 6 says.

  • Denial of rights of the sheltered homeless
    The Schwartz Next Step Employment Shelter, under the management of the Volunteers Of America and Department of Homeless Services, is denying homeless clients entry, into the shelter, if they are, in possession, of any electrical or electronic devices. This includes, but not limited, to laptop computers, tablets, outlet adapters, extension cords. We are not to be, in possession of anything that requires electricity, with the exception, of a cell phone and charger. We have to go to the library in order to access the internet and information about housing and employment. We need to have those items that were purchased, by us, with our own money, and be allowed to use them, in the pursuit of happiness, as any free American citizen has the right to do. Being homeless and living, in a shelter is a difficult and trying experience, but it should not mean that your rights have to be taken from you, in order to live in a shelter.

  • Walmart: Label GMOs
    Walmart, America's largest distributor of GMO foods, has GMO labels on their products in the UK, India, China and other countries. Walmart is the largest distributor of genetically modified foods in the U.S. We have seen our children's health improve when we removed GMOs from their diets. Sadly, a large percentage of Americans do not know about GMOs, so we want them labeled! We are doing this for the entire U.S. population that has a right to know. Walmart has a chance to lead the way in America's freedom to choose their family's food by requiring labels here too. When Walmart got rid of RBST in their milk it changed the market. It made a difference for me because I felt I could trust them. I felt like Walmart cared about the welfare of my children and the health of our families. You made a difference before, and you can do it again Walmart! Signed, Moms Across America and supporters of labeling.

  • Full representation for Citizens of Hector, NY
    In early 2012, a member of the Hector Town Board suffered severe injuries leaving him permanently incapacitated. New York State Law clearly states that this seat is now legally vacant, and the Hector Town Board may appoint a replacement to fill the seat until the next General Election. However, the Town Supervisor indicated that there was no plan or intention to fill the empty position, and the seat would be left vacant until the end of the term in 2015. We believe it is unacceptable for the residents of Hector to lack full representation on the Town Board and ask the Town Board to appoint a qualified replacement, and State Law gives them the power to do so. We urge them to do so without delay. In our opinion, the most qualified candidate and the electoral choice of residents of Hector to fill the vacated seat is the next runner-up in the 2011 Town Board race, Bo Lipari. Please sign this petition ONLY if you live or own land in the Town of Hector. For verification purposes, please enter the address where you reside or where you own property.

  • Respect the massage therapy profession
    Please pull the Lifetime show "The Client List" from air because it promotes prostitution and gives massage therapy a bad name. Reputable massage therapists lose business because of bad publicity and tv shows like "The Client List" that depict the profession poorly.
