Everyone knows the dialogue in the public square has turned negative and acrimonious. Everyone expects better but is waiting for someone else to change things. This petition is a vehicle to engage our leaders and ourselves as citizens in taking responsibility for making change occur. By pledging to initiate and maintain a standard of fairness,moderation and reasonableness signers will be creating a visible commitment to action. Similar to the Pass It On movement all citizens and leaders will apply this standard to their interactions in matters of public policy and discourse.

Corpsman are given a comprehensive medical education. It is not worth much in the civilian world so they are only able to get a job as an aide or tech. They are not given the value and monies they should when leaving the service. They are able and do save lives and not just BCLS! Their education is far beyond the scope of a registered nurse. I am an RN with my BSN and MSN. I think there should be a college or two (three) that teaches Corpsman to RN. The professors might be previous Corpsman. At the very least it should be an accelerated program taking into account all they have learned with no need for repeat. Their are accelerated programs now for people with any type of Bachelor's to obtain eligibility to take the RN exam. We should give these talented individuals the opportunity to serve in the medical field. We know their is a shortage in the military for Nurses and this sure would help along with the need for civilian nurses. They should be guaranteed a spot in the program if they are in good military standing.

Everyone should sign this petition to help bring down the price of gas. When President Bill Clinton did this it caused the oil prices to plummet! By causing a glut on the market.

Saving our United States Postal Service. Benjamin Franklin was appointed first American Postmaster General in 1775; before America was even a nation we had the benefits of a national postal delivery service. The United States Postal Service is the one government agency that touches every American on a daily basis, democracy in action. But saving the USPS is not about nostalgia, it is about the best possible future for Americans and our economy. We ask our Senators to take the advice of Google and other 21st Century entrepreneurs: Keep six day delivery, keep door-to-door delivery, and repeal the pre-funding mandate. Vote against S. 1789 as written. Save our United States Postal Service.

This is about one of the ways voter suppression is happening in Ohio.

Let's tell Congress they work for us and are not privileged as they think they are. Let's tell them that they are ripping the government of money getting special treatment in health care and retirement benefits. They should pay into Social Security, Medicare, and stop getting paid when they stop serving in Congress.

Please help me stop the unending and intrusive telemarketing calls that pepper your life morning, noon, and night.

From barbarous wildlife trapping practices to cruel and inhumane methods of deterring nesting by Canada Geese, it would seem that the State of Idaho cares little for our wildlife. Yet this wildlife is just as important to the integrity of our great state as the clear skies, sparkling lakes, rugged peaks,and swiftly flowing rivers. Our values, as Idahoans, do not include barbarism towards any living creatures, human or otherwise. We must stand strong for what we believe.

Cruelty to animals is never justifiable, but it is particularly disturbing when it is done stricly for vanity and profit. A PLEDGE AND PETITION FOR A FUR FREE BOCA RATON We pledge to refrain from purchasing any and all Fur and Fur trimmed items and clothing including coats, hats, scarves, boots, shoes, gloves, pet toys, household furnishing etc. We support the Ban of the sale of Fur and Fur trimmed clothing and any apparel/household items in the City of Boca Raton, Florida and elsewhere. We urge the City Council to propose and make final a resolution of such a ban within the city of Boca Raton . We find the cruelty perpetrated on fur bearing animals to be barbaric, unnecessary, unacceptable and choose not to support an Industry that raises animals solely for the purpose of ripping their skin from their bodies and using it as decoration. Fur coats are not a necessity, they are a luxury item which causes extreme cruelty to living beings. Fur trim and other items made from fur are not necessities, they are decorative only. Of the 40 million animals a year slaughtered for the Fur Industry, 85% of them come from China, a country that has no humane standards at all. After being raised in unnatural, crowded conditions, at the age of about 8 months ,most animals are anally electrocuted prior to skinning, their bodies being discarded as waste. Horrifyingly, for the sake of efficiency, some Chinese fur farmers place animals into boiling water while still alive, so that their skin pulls away from their bodies easier. This has been recorded and documented by world wide news organizations and is available for viewing on the Internet for those people that are skeptical that humans could be capable of that degree of indifference to suffering. Even in America, there are no protections for the animals raised for their fur and they, too, are raised in horrifying conditions, electrocuted and slaughtered at a young age , their bodies discarded.

People want to rename Burien Skatepark "Jasmine Tully Memorial Park". Jasmine Tully hung out at the skatepark but didn't have anything to do with the skate community. She was not a skater or a biker. Her murder had nothing to do with the skatepark. Please don't exploit her death by renaming our beloved park after someone who didn't respect it.

On some military bases and in VA hospitals, Fox News plays on the public televisions all day feeding hate and lies to our troops and their civilian spouses and children. Fox News lies about our President, disprespects him, and should not be the accepted channel for television in our VA hospitals and on our military bases.
