In light of the recent Sikh Massacre in Oak Creek Wisconsin and the Movie Theater Massacre in Aurora Colorado, We believe it is essential to strengthen our expiating assault weapon ban legislation here in California for the protection of our citizens. California Senator Leland Yee's Gun Control Bill SB 249 is an honest attempt to do this and needs to enacted, in this Election Year.

I have four grandchildren whose life prospects are dismal if global warming due to green house gases continues to be effectively ignored. The behavior of the US House, Senate, and President is unbelievable in the face of this threat. We should not vote for any politician who does not make clear his or her support for effective action on global warming. This is in fact a national defense issue.

Hank Williams Jr. played to a crowd of nearly 8,500 Friday night, August 17th, at the Iowa State Fair Grandstand. Following the song “We Don’t Apologize For America” a chant of “USA, USA” broke out amongst the crowd. Williams smiled, telling the crowd that he was their mouth piece, adding: “We’ve got a Muslim president who hates farming, hates the military, hates the U.S. and we hate him!” The Fair Board had to have known what they were signing on for when they booked this performer. They apparently did so with no regard for the values celebrated by the Iowa State Fair. Let them know that they need to publicly denounce Williams' ugly remarks and apologize to the people of Iowa for including this performer in this year's Grandstand line-up. The Board needs to acknowledge its serious lapse in judgment in scheduling this show and to promise that Hank Williams, Jr. will not be welcomed back to the Fair in the future.

The city council is voting soon to add fluoride to our water. They are trying to slip this by with out the people's consent. So far 3 of the 5 members are supporting this and there by they have the majority. The people have knocked down this issue 3 times before lets do it again! NO Fluoride in our water!

I've thrown out hundreds of dollars worth of food this year. Why? Hidden artificial sweeteners. They give me headaches, stomach aches and can make me ill for days. With the ever growing list of artificial sweeteners available, it's impossible for consumers to remember all the names. Even if it were possible, consumers would need to read the ingredient label of every product they consider buying to find the artificial sweeteners. Why? The FDA doesn't require that products containing artificial sweeteners place that information prominently on the front label where consumers can easily and quickly find it.

My petition is about reaching voters, mainly senior voters. Ads are on TV and the internet, etc. attempting to explain issues to voters in the upcoming 2012 Presidential election. But I have failed to see ads in NEWSPAPERS across the nation, explaining, simply, and precisely the differences in the political/social issues of the Democratic Party and Republican Party. This petition is directed towards ACTION by the Democratic Party, which in my opinion, needs to get their message across in the most broad, simple, and understandable language....to those seniors and other "independent" and "undecided" voters.....that for whatever reason...still may be confused on the issues between the two poliical parties.

This petition is to insure that the voters receive the truth in campaign ads aired on the televsion and radio, and ads sent in the mail.

Wyoming wolves will be hunted on a cruel and ruthless huge scale if Wyoming politicians and the Fish and Wildlife folks have their way! Protect the Wyoming wolves from this senseless massive hunt now!

You don't know what to believe in Political ads

Voter I.D. Is unfair to the poor and minorities. I am not effectd by this but I feel every citizen has the right to vote.

A state initiative to prohibit the slaughter of horses for human consumption was passed by the NJ Senate and State Assembly on June 26, 2012. “Prohibiting the slaughter of horses and the sale of horse flesh for human consumption will help prevent the feared start up of horse slaughterhouses since the federal government last year lifted its ban on funding of USDA inspections,” Senator Raymond Lesniak said. “It will also stop the transportation of horses from New Jersey to Canada and Mexico where they are slaughtered for human consumption.” To date Governor Chris Christie has not signed this bill. Please sign this position to encourage Governor Christie to act now to make NJ a more humane state.

Tony Perkins is trying to place to blame on the Southern Poverty Law Center for the recent shooting of a security guard in the arm at the Conservative Family Research Center by a disturbed and angry activist. When you continuously spout hate-speech, incivility and prejudice you should look in the mirror before passing blame.
