That Republicans kept control of the House of Representatives and the ability to stall the Senate with countless filibusters may not be a problem in the next Congress if they are willing to discuss alternatives and to compromise. But, if they remain determined to continue the same course of "gridlock" as a means of not having to pass any bill not 100% to their liking, they need, finally, be dumped for Democrats or independents in the 2014 elections. President Obama was clearly given a mandate to resolve as many issues in his second term as he did in his first using compromise as a tool to address these issues. However, if Republicans continue their ideologic-based policy of no compromise, they need to be forced to accept the only wake-up call by the only means they seem to understand. The voice of massive defeat by vote of the American people. We can only hope.

Corporations are not people, and we must remove the corrosive influence of big money, anonymous money, on the election process.

Drone attacks in the Middle East

Time has come for NBC to retire Donald Trump from national television. His bizarre behavior and callous disregard for much of the citizens of the United States must no longer be rewarded by NBC with a national TV show. NBC should not need any incentive to do the right thing and drop The Apprentice but if you do need an incentive, all signers of this petition promise to boycott purchases from any advertisers of The Apprentice. Please do the right thing for the country and fire the Donald.

Saving money by not making arrests, taxing it as another income for out state. Medical evidence is out that it is not as harmful as we all thought. People are going to use this plant, regulate the sales and profit from this natural resource. Hawaii could export it to other legal states. Its all about choosing and freedom, educate the public let them choose to make it legal..

Each November, millions of people can't vote because they have to work. Others have to stand in line for hours. Everyone should get to vote.

Religious organizations that take it upon themselves to endorse a political candidate should lose their tax exemption. When they endorse a candidate, they become in effect a tax-exempt PAC.

Rick Scott took away six days of early voting including the Sunday before election day. He also purged the voter rolls. Rick Scott has been disrespectful to the citizens of Florida. He refuses to implement the Affordable Care Act. Rick Scott is contemptuous of the people of Florida. He needs to exit this office.

We are all affected by selfishness (separate self sense in suffering, nationality, race, religion, etc. in delusion, discrimination, destruction), damaging holiness (wholly wholesome world and way).

Abandon obsolete measures (inch, ounce, pound, gallon, Fahrenheit et cetera) and embrace measurement harmony on Earth.

Now that the Supreme Court has subjected us all to unlimited campaign donations with its Citizens United vs FEC decision, we are bombarded with ridiculous levels of television advertising. The 2012 Presidential election saw over $800 million spent alone, this does not even include congressional elections at federal and state levels. Lets use this money for our country, not annoying political advertisements.

Failing infrastructure is one of the biggest problems facing America. The experts say that investing in our infrastructure will not only improve public safety, but will create jobs which in turn improves our economy. I don't want our children and grandchildren to inherit an America that is literally fallling to pieces. The President has said we must "hold his feet to the fire." It is by demanding what we need for our country that we give Obama the support he needs to stand up to those who will continue to obstruct the President from making progress on this and other issues important for America. Please join us in insisting that our infrastructure is a priority issue for the American people.
