Hunting dogs are being neglected, abandoned, starved and abused due to a loophole in the SC Animal Protection Law simply because they are hunting dogs. This is inhumane and goes against the intent of the original legislation. Why should a hunting dog be exposed to starvation, abuse and abandonment versus any other dog type or animal? The exemption needs to be eliminated and hunting dogs returned to the protection these laws were designed to provide.

I have watched a video, in tears, hearing those precious dogs scream in pain inside the gas chamber - small & large & healthy. PLEASE BE HUMANE & MERCIFUL & PASS A LAW, where all counties have to change to the needle.

Every year the Superbowl has a halftime show of some pop start they think can bring the house down. Why not let an awesome cult icon of pop culture take the stage and rock the house!? #WeirdAlHalftime2014

We need to enforce stricter gun laws that make it safer for our children.

Gun revision laws

This petition is about the protection of American workers of all walks of life. A.L.E.C. members are elected officials and private persons who are drafting "proposed" legislation that have changed labor laws across America at the state governmental level.

I work @ for a well known company that uses a point system 4 sick days and we don't get paid for it instead they make us use our vacation so by ears end you are stuck w/ not being able to take off w/ dire consequence's

This petition is for the protection of or nations future, the youth. Since Columbine shooting in 2001 our government had failed miserably to deter in school shootings. Now that the Sandy Hook massacre has occur states are taking law enforcement off the streets and into the schools, leaving everything else vulnerable to attacks. What's worse is that police are trained to arrest. Now students are being charged with felonies for fighting in school which often happens. What I am proposing is that we use privatized armed security in schools as well as movie theaters as a deterrent to armed shooters. The shooters only attack places where firearms are not allowed and frankly president Obama you cannot take every him off of the street.

Last election the people of Richmond elected Gary Bell to lead them on our city council. Now, special interests are trying to force the appointment of their losing candidate to replace Mr. Bell who is unable to take his seat. Local media, civic leaders, and many residents all support a special election to ensure that democracy prevails.

I think that the day after the super bowl is very dangerous due to the large amount of drunk driver coming home in the very early morning because the have to get to work the next day this cause many deaths from car crashes but if that Monday is a holiday many people wont leave that early because they don't have to go to work

America is affected by gun violence in every corner . . . that makes it personal to me and all who inhabit our land. Our voices must be heard and our representatives must listen.

Several states have tried to pass laws requiring GMO (genetically altered food and seeds) to be labeled for consumers purchasing food or seed for gardens. ALL of the state legislation has been defeated at the state levels by corporate food growers! WE Know this there will be a corporate backlash to these bills again, however, Massachusetts citizens will not be deterred this time. WE HAVE A CONSUMER RIGHT TO LABELING OF GMO PRODUCTS! The increase in learning disabilities, children on the Autusim Spectrum, depression in children over the past 15 years correlates with food changes made in the American food supply of GMO products, as as a variety of health problems in adults. Massachusetts Representative Ellen Story from Amherst has re-introduced 2 GMO Labeling bills. Massachusetts has 2 newly introduced bills: HD 133, An Act relative to the labeling of food. This bill would require that any food product exposed for sale in the Commonwealth that is genetically engineered, or derived from genetically engineered, be labeled as such. HD 134, An Act relative to the labeling of seed. This bill would require that any seed or agricultural products exposed for sale in the Commonwealth which have been genetically engineered, or derived from genetically engineered material, be labeled in a manner conforming with other existing labeling laws for wholesale and agricultural products.
