  • Permanent Revision to Extend Child Support for Special Needs Children
    This petition is about creating permanent new laws in both Federal and State law that extend child support for special needs children. Current laws for child support are not specific enough and are making it difficult for parents of special needs children who by law (both Federal and State) have throughout their 21st year to complete a high school diploma. Special needs students who receive child support need to receive this at least through th eage of 21 or longer if they are not yet emanciapated or self-supporting.

  • Save the animals
    KY is low on the list on animal welfare. The abuse is a serious issue. It is up to us to let the government know that life is important and the risk of animal cruelty leading to the risk of these same people harming people is possible. No animal should endure physical, emotional, or psychological abuse and it has to stop.

  • This is News: Give our fallen servicemen and women the respect they are due
    Our country is at war. Over 6200 young men and women have died in Iraq and Afghanistan and the numbers grow daily. Why then, does the evening news start with a story on Lindsey Lohan? Every newscast and newspaper in this country should devote a moment or space to naming and honoring these young men and women who die everyday. A photo and a sentence. They deserve it. And the people of this country need to see the reality of what is happening.

  • End Daylight Savings Time
    Daylight Savings Time is an outdated relic from another era long since passed. It is confusing, useless and unnecessary. DST disrupts your internal clock & biorhythms, in addition to it being completely annoying changing the time on every last appliance that has a time display. So along with other useless wreckage and lumber (ie. dial up internet, typewriters and betamax) it is LONG overdue time for DST to be thrown onto the scrap-heap of history!
