End Hemp ProhibitionHemp is an incredible versatile plant with a plethora of uses including rope, high quality paper, food products, and clothing. As an excellent alternative to cotton and timber, it can easily be grown by farmers anywhere, with a very low environmental impact. Yet, due to smear campaigns and lobbyists of the timber industry in the past, hemp is currently treated as its THC-rich cousin, marijuana, and cannot legally be grown in the United States without a nearly impossible to obtain permit from the DEA-- despite not being a drug. With its incredible potential benefits to the environment, farmers, and the people, the need for hemp legalization is strong. It's time to end the madness, and end hemp prohibition.126 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Grace

Ten Year Limit for Supreme Court JudgesWhen a Supreme Court judge leans to far right or left politically it hurts all citizens of our country. We have in the past seen the extremely elderly judge sleeping instead of listening to very important issues, refusing to retire when he no longer should be sitting on the bench. Judge Roberts, himself, at one time believed no judge should have a life time position as a Supreme Court Justice. That of course was before he became one himself and now the right wing leaning Roberts changed his mind since he is one and now believes it should be a lifetime position. No job other than this one comes with a lifetime guarantee, and niether should this one. In order to keep our country fair and our constitution safe we must occasionally clean house. When a judge asks if he is expected to read the many paged Obamacare health plan we have a problem. When a judge refers to the 'Healthcare for all" as 'Obamacare,' doesn't want to read it ,how can we rely on these judges not to be biased? No job should automatically be a lifetime position and certainly not one that affects all Americans as does the position of a Supreme Court Judge.8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Debra Istvanik-Strotman

Oh crap (literally): USDA to privatize poultry inspection?The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) currently inspects all chicken and turkey carcasses for things like bruises, bile and feces before they are sent to further processing. However, the UDSA is now considering a pilot program that would eliminate that inspection and allow private poultry processing plants to do whatever they want. The USDA is holding a public commenting period on this proposed change right now. Please sign the petition opposing the privatization of poultry inspection before the public commenting period ends.25,071 of 30,000 SignaturesCreated by Chris Bowers, Daily Kos

Animals have rights to!Animals mainly poultry that are raised to be butchered are crowded into on space and when they die they are walked on and pecked at. Animals that produce the things we use are treated with very little space or freedom. They are treated with cruelty and yet not a single person seams to care or chooses not to speak up. Animals need respect too.28 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Rose Wirkus
