People on cell phones and texting while driving. I have been hit at a red light by someone doing over 45 with 2 empty lanes next to me. Everyone you speak to has this horror story. 40 States have a Hand Free Law. We need it as well. The one who hit me was uninsured as well. My granddaughter was hit twice also uninsured.

USGS has developed an Earthquake Early Warning System that could give Californians a 10-60 second warning before the Big One hits. That may not sound like much time, but it's enough time to stop trains, delicate surgical procedures, shut down nuclear power plants, keep planes from landing, take people in elevators to the nearest floor, and for people everywhere to grab their loved ones and take shelter. The Japanese had a similar early warning system they attribute to saving thousands of lives. Mexico has one too. But State and Federal budget cuts mean it may take a catastrophic disaster before the funding is approved.

Not sure if this will be considered a petition, but very important.

I am tired of watching people die when they are just trying to live an everyday life. Unfortunately the NRA is in the pocket of Congress approximately 80% Republican and 20% democrat - I think this is too hot of a button for either candidate to handle - however we cannot sweep it under the rug. What did it for me was watching a Today show piece not long after the massacre in Aurora Colorado where people could buy assault weapons exchanging in store parking lots even Walmart even a missle launcher. I am personally involved only in the respect that I live in the United States of America and I ve had enough.

STOP THE TORTURE OF FARM & SLAUGHTER HOUSES. ABUSERS GET JAIL TIME AS WELL AS THE PEOPLE WHO KNEW ABOUT THE ABUSE.

School lunches are now too small and students aren't getting enough energy, especially those who are poor and can't afford barely anything for food at home, and those who are constanly active. Some better suggestions for developing healthier eating habits and fighting obesity: Snacks for students of all ages that include fruits, veggies, grains, etc., investing in school sports and many other "let's get moving" type activities, and so on. Also: Stop wasteful spending on foam plates in schools! It's bad for the enviroment and buying regular plates could save schools thousands of dollars per year, helping schools use more money on textbooks, new equipment, and much more. Plus, it is our right to eat how we choose, is it not?

Demands that Eric Holder dispatch federal poll watchers to states with voter-suppression laws and have representatives at all private electronic vote count facilities.

Community Education Task Force (CETF) members have asked that the Rochester Board of Education compel Comissioner Mary Adams to issue an apology for behavior unbecoming of an elected official. I urge you to sign this letter in support of Commissioner Adams' right to due process and in opposition to the the dubious tactics employed by CETF in pursuing their grievance.

My friend, Rachel Ronan, was wrongfully terminated after telling her work, Super Cuts in Mandeville, LA, that she would need time off to say goodbye to her son, a US Marine- who was to be deployed to Libya.

My family and business have relied on Apple products for decades. Overall, I think it is a good company. Yes, Apple makes some poor choices. But, what REALLY drives me crazy is that my business can't get iPhone and iPad service from CREDO Mobile! When using AT&T or Verizon, our dollars go to candidates who think I should not be guaranteed equal pay for equal work or that corporate executives have a right to determine what reproductive health care women have access to. So, doing business with AT&T is self-defeating. Yes, we could jump to other devices, but we rely upon iPhone-compatible tools. And, yes, we could jump to Sprint. But where we local, progressive, Apple lovin' business owners want to be is on CREDO -- where our business dollars will go to politicians who work to make our lives better, not harder. This as a win-win-win-win: CREDO gets thousands of new mobile and data plans; Sprint (which I THINK hosts CREDO) might get help meeting their iPhone quota; Apple sells devices to all of those hold-out progressives, and those progressive would be heard through their dollars and CREDO Action. Please join me in asking Apple CEO Tim Cook to finally set up an agreement for the iPhone with CREDO Mobile and give progressive business owners what they really want: iPhones on CREDO!

Corn is a widely used crop for food and as a food product used in the production of countless other foods. At this juncture with corn already being in short supply, ethanol producers are taking a scarce food and using it for fuel instead of feeding the populace.

It is absolutely unacceptable that Jase Bolger be allowed to continue in his role as Speaker of the Michigan House of Representatives. Bolger’s ability to lead and his judgement have been called into question by his constituents, Michigan’s newspapers, and even his colleagues in the House.
