• Utah Lawmakers: Stop Plans to Drain Our Resources for Land Grab Lawsuit
    The Transfer of Public Lands Act (HB 148) demands title to 30 million acres of federal land, and the filing of 22 lawsuits claiming highway rights-of-way for thousands of miles of dirt routes, including some in our national parks. Our national forests, the redrock deserts and canyons surrounding our national parks, and even Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, would be managed to maximize short-term revenues. If the state prevails in its rights-of-way claims, our national parks, wild lands, and other scenic treasures would be degraded as existing protections are nullified or diminished. These initiatives will cost millions of dollars, harm our rural tourism economies, and not produce any lasting benefits for education or our children.

  • Make bandwidth-stealing auto-playing/auto-buffering streaming media website content illegal, just...
    It has long been illegal to send spam to fax machines because the recipient pays for the fax phone line and its minutes, and for the electricity to run the machine, and for the fax paper and ink or toner; and so sending fax spam steals those things from the recipient. Whenever one lands on a web page which contains streaming audio and/or video media that auto-starts playing (or that auto-buffers in anticipation of starting to play), the precious and limited bandwidth for which the site visitor pays his/her ISP is being similarly stolen. Only if the site visitor gives permission to use said bandwidth by clicking on a "Play" button to begin the playing of the streaming media content should any bandwidth be used for it; and so it should be illegal, just as it is with fax spam, for a website to steal bandwidth from site visitors by auto-starting/auto-buffering streaming media content. NOTE: Flash or Java/Javascript or Silverlight or other similar content which simply makes interactive the graphical elements of a website, while annoying, are nevertheless not the subjects of this petition. It is only music (background or otherwise), or either advertising or news videos, which auto-play/auto-buffer, and so use-up precious bandwidth for which the site visitor pays, that are the subjects of this petition.

  • Put a Stop to Daylight Savings Time
    We must STOP this ridiculous changing of our clocks twice every year. The costs in terms of serious errors in judgment that lead to myriad accidents involving motor vehicles, medical care, machine-operators, etc. as well as lost productivity (including groggy students) affect all of us and DO NOT justify whatever benefits Daylight Savings Time might offer. Please contact your State and/or federal legislators and encourage them to bring this issue to their respective legislative Congresses for a vote. If pursued at the federal level, ALL states would be affected by the change. However, individual states can also choose (and some have) to opt-out of this archaic, useless and dangerous practice of Daylight Savings Time and the havoc it wreaks.

  • Rockland County Legislature: Support NY SAFE Act
    Just like many of us, I have been deeply affected by the tragedy in Newtown, CT. After Governor Cuomo passed the NY SAFE Act, I was incredibly proud to be a resident of NY state. However, recently, I was troubled to learn that many of our Rockland County Legislators have voted in favor of a memorializing resolution to repeal the NY SAFE Act. Please join me in letting them know that we support the NY SAFE Act. In a March 11, 2013 the NY SAFE Act was supported by 61% of New Yorkers.

  • Reverse Mortgage for purchase of a property
    Texas is the only state that does not allow Reverse Mortgage through a purchase for seniors. An amendment to allow seniors to purchase a home with the assistance of a Reverse Mortgage will help seniors to live a more secure financial life.
