One Time Wealth Tax

The Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument has been proposed by a group of business, environmental, non-profit, and government organizations to preserve and protect the natural beauty of Southern New Mexico as well as historic sites including Mogollon Jornado, ancestral Puebloan, Spanish, Mexican, and Anglo - indigenous camps, petroglyphs, historic ranches and homesites, Butterfield Overland Mail route, World War II test and training bomb targets, and even places where Apollo astronauts trained. These areas in the Organ Mountains, Robledo Mountains, Sierra de las Uvas, and the Potrillo Volcanic Complex are threatened by development, mining, and potential abuses of the land. Previous attempts to protect these lands required an Act of Congress. Designating them a National Monument, under the Antiquities Act of 1904, requires only an Executive Order by the President. Protecting these special lands should be high on our list of things to do.

Is anyone else sick of falling back and springing ahead? Is it still relevant for the US to switch their clocks? Many countries do not observe it and even in the US certain states and counties within the states do not practice it. It causes more confusion than good. It messes with your circadian rhythm. Kids have difficulty with the adjustment. It just feels like an antiquated ritual that needs to end.

To raise the minimum wage in California and the nation to 10 $ an hour

This petition is to make people know how our courts have been and continue to be bought and sold by the wealthy when our judges and shady court practices side immediately with who has the most money without even doing background checks on them. I and many parents like me have been called a "flight risk" because I evacuated from Hurricane Katrina, a dangerous Category 5 hurricane. We had our children immediately stripped from us and given to the other parent who did NOT have even primary custody of the child(ren). These court cases were rushed through during times when the city was not fully up running and there was still martial law and price-gouging on rentals so people could not afford to come back and live. These victimized parents have ZERO rights to the children they once raised and cared for lovingly everyday. I want to push these crooks to overturn all these oportunistic judgements and let children be with their parents. New Orleans courts need to be investigated and held accountable for their actions regarding the evacuation loophole. Many children were taken away to live in other states by their parent who abused this system but evacuation is a "flight risk"? I think not.

The School Board of the City of Alexandria wants to replace our Jefferson-Houston Elementary School - pre-k to 8 with a new building. With that, they plan to open a parking lot that dead ends into our playground and basketball court. They will move both amenities and wrap the new drop off around the current Olde Towne Swimming pool, which will make all pedestrians that use the pool or the playground or basketball at risk from moving vehicular traffic.

The 128/95 & 93 highway Interchange needs an update. Navigating the interchange is dangerous and wasteful. Daily backups waste fuel and motorists time. This impacts the local environment far more than any new construction. Level of Service is an "F" grade, we need to fix it.

We collectively want our President to know that we have his back for the 2012 .

The current Common Area Rule (Revised March 2012) for the use of The Met tennis courts requires owners to gain access to the courts by either (1) going to the HOA office during business hours or (2) the security desk at the main entrance on Canoga Avenue as a result of the HOA decision to install locks on all of the courts. The courts were previously unlocked and available to all owners during available hours as a paid amenity (HOA fee).

slumlords like to collect on investment property but, wont invest in the property. They should be held accountable for their share of the investment property.

I would like to start a petition to encourage individuals to register any vehicle for a flat fee, maximum amount of $ 500.00 per vehicle with overdue registration of 2 years or more. It would give an incentive to individuals to bring current any past due or expired registeration. This can be done by offering amnestiy as a one time opportunity to register a vehicle that was too far behind and nearly impossible to abide by the vehicle registration laws. The procedes will provide a windfall for California and the education system without raising a single tax, in fact just the opposite effect as lowering taxes and business operating expenses. Once a party brings current an expired Registeration, it is highly likely that they will pay all future Registeration fees before they spiral out of sight again. So in short it guarantees future revenues for the State of California as well. Someone please help me get this idea to to desk of Governor Jerry Brown and fellow democrat.

My petition is about forcing truth in broadcasting. The recent reporting about social securuity was the straw that broke the camel's back with me. We need truth to make informed decisions. we need truth to ensure our democracy is maintained and sustained.
