• United States Civil Air Patrol Saves Lives. Don't Let Sentor McCain Kill It!
    The petition is about continuing government funding for the Civil Air Patrol that saves lives.

We have already secured 938 signatures but our goal has to be 1000 by the end of today March 18, 2013.

  • Let's get GMO labeling mandatory in New York
    GMOs in our food were first available to the public in 1996. That is when I began to get sick. We deserve to know what the food we are eating is made from, especially when it can poison our health. What good is any other reform if future generations won't be around? This is critical to the health of our nation and our world—the future of our human community depends upon it. Come on, New York!

  • Protect our privacy, restore accurate caller ID to wireless phones.
    I would like to see caller I.D. restored to all of our wireless phones. Our friend's calls look like telemarketers when we see things like "Unknown, Out of Area, California, Nevada call, etc". These odd names show even when it's from the V.A. hospital calling to make an appointment with my husband. Many times I do not answer these calls. We're paying for the caller I.D. service and the wireless companies are making a "mint" off of us. Let's get caller ID back with real names of real people. Let telemarketers state who they are so we have a choice as to what call we want to answer.

  • Repeal FEMA Disaster Reservist Program
    Repeal the FEMA Disaster Reservist Program implementations and assosciated FEMA Qualification System. Currently, through Implementation of the above two programs, FEMA is losing an average of seven employees per day -- a number that will severely hamper future response efforts to national disasters.

  • Music Videos need a reality check
    Music videos are highly influential, to young people; much like commercials (but longer) they tell young people what to drink, what to wear, how to wear it, and how to live. The problem is that the images portrayed are many times degrading to women and the disadvantaged. I believe that music videos should provide a disclaimer to inform young people that the lifestyles portrayed are not realistic

  • The Labeling of GMO's
    We all deserve to make healthy food choices. We can't do that unless food carries a label as to it's origin.

  • Implement WV Barber Apprentice Program
    There is presently a shortage of Barbers coming into the proffession. With only one school in the State it is impractical for most to attend from far distances. I believe the program has been legislated in a previous years legislative session and needs only to have the curriculum approved and the program implemented. This directly affects me because I have a barbershop in Glenville and cannot find help with my client base.
