Establish food sovereignty and security for the State of Indiana. Indiana is one of the worst States in the Union in providing fresh, quality food to thousands of residents who need it. In addition, many urban and rural residents in our State live ten miles or more from a supermarket, farmer's market or food pantry. Establishing a local foods production and distribution law is the first step in reorganizing our food system to meet the needs of all of our residents and put an end to draconian laws that prevent access to fresh, healthy food and eliminate the rise of "food deserts" once and for all.

I have five grandchildren that I care deeply about, and am gravely concerned they, as well as the rest of the children in North Carolina, are being short changed by the only people who can fix what they have done.

I'm trying to send a message to the Sanders campaign about their strategy. Like all candidates their web sites are 'read-only' so I'm trying this route.

Darnell Earley, the unelected emergency manager appointed by Governor Snyder who infamously switched Flint’s water source to the polluted, corrosive Flint River to save money, has been rewarded with appointment as emergency manager of Detroit Public Schools. It's time to kick this man to the curb!

This petition is about child physical and sexual safety. The California Constitution states in part that all citizens have a right to seek and obtain safety. Yet children are treated as property, not as human beings and citizens. This is the most important social justice and human rights issue of our times.

Many lives are being devastated by the irreversible damage genital lichen sclerosus is causing. I have this disease and moderate a support group for it, so I know of its negative, life-changing effects. We need to know the cause and and at least have more medical professionals able to diagnosis and effectively treat LS - the average delay of diagnosis is two years because of misdiagnosis.

We don't find ourselves in agreement with Mitt Romney very often, but we agree with Romney's call for all of the presidential candidates to release their tax returns. In a year when the leading GOP candidate is a billionaire, and other candidates have shady finances, it is important to know this information before the first votes are cast. [The following is from the Huffington Post http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/mitt-romney-tax-returns_us_56a4e0bbe4b0404eb8f1ea95] Former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney on Sunday called on 2016 presidential candidates to release their tax returns ahead of the first nominating contests in Iowa and New Hampshire. In a Tweet, he said "4 years ago today, I released my taxes; became issue. 2016 candidates should release taxes before first contests." Romney released his 2010 tax returns and 2011 estimates four years ago, following the lead of former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, then his main GOP rival in the 2012 presidential race. The issue dogged his campaign throughout the primary and into the general election, as Democrats insisted Romney, one of the wealthiest candidates ever to seek the presidency, release more than two years' worth of returns. Then-Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D) later infamously claimed that Romney "didn't pay any taxes for 10 years." Although he has ruled out another run for the White House, Romney has remained active in the 2016 race. He recently affirmed his belief that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) is a natural-born citizen, contrary to Republican front-runner Donald Trump's claims otherwise. Trump, who continues to lead in New Hampshire, and appears to have some momentum in Iowa, has not yet released his tax returns. The businessman in October said he would release his tax returns when “we find out the true story on Hillary [Clinton's] emails." At a rally over the weekend, Trump bragged that he paid "as little as possible" in taxes, because that's the "American way" and he's not an idiot"

My father is a union member and works for the State of West Virginia through a state agency contractor. His retirement package and benefits have been systematically cut and devastated over the years; he deserves the benefits that he agreed to receive upon being hired over 20 years ago. We need both the WV Legislature and the Governor to advocate for labor over capital, and to stand for hardworking West Virginians rather than shareholders who seek higher profits at lower expenditures each fiscal quarter. We already had the right to work. This is a bad bill, and doesn't represent the will of the people. From Labor Reporter Paul Nyden: CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- "The West Virginia State Senate voted this week to approve a so-called right-to-work (RTW) bill. The vote, 17 to 16, was strictly across party lines. The bill will now go to the House of Delegates, which has 64 Republicans and 36 Democrats. Ken Hall, president of Teamsters Local 175 in South Charleston and the union’s International Secretary-Treasurer, said after the Senate vote on Thursday, “This is going to be the most divisive piece of legislation that’ll be passed in my lifetime.” He previously testified against the bill. The Senate vote would likely have been tied, 17 to 17, if Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin (D) had been able to make his own choice to replace Senate Majority Whip Daniel J. Hall (R). In 2012, Daniel Hall was elected to the Senate as a Democrat from Wyoming and Raleigh counties, which are heavily Democratic. After his election, Daniel Hall switched to become a registered Republican, which he had been before. That gave the Senate a Republican majority of 18 to 16. In late December, Daniel Hall announced he was resigning from the Senate to take a job with the National Rifle Association. Although he planned to appoint a Democrat, Tomblin said he would abide by a ruling from the Supreme Court about this issue. On Friday, the Supreme Court ruled Tomblin had to name a Republican to the seat, even though voters had chosen a registered Democrat. The House of Delegates, very likely to pass this bill, took up the issue this week. Tomblin has indicated he will veto the bill, but a veto can be overruled by a simple majority vote in the Senate. If it were a tied vote, his veto would stand. Thursday’s debate in the state Senate was often quite contentious. Several Democrats made strong statements opposing the bill. Meanwhile, Sen. Robert L. Karnes (R) began yelling and attacking union members sitting in the chamber’s balconies at the Capitol. Sherri Moore McKinney, an organizer for SEIU District 1199, stated on her Facebook page that she had “witnessed one of the most disgusting displays of unprofessional, disrespectful conduct on the floor of the West Virginia Senate that I have witnessed in more than 22 years of being there." “Sen. Karnes referred to the hard working citizens, union members and voters (in the gallery of the Senate) as free loaders. Shame on you, Sen. Barnes, Your disgusting words will never be forgotten.” Sen. Jeffrey V. Kessler (D) said many supporters of RTW don’t understand that under federal law a union must represent every worker in a given workplace. If a worker decides not to join a union and pay dues, as allowed under the bill the Senate just passed, then “at the end of the day you are getting benefits you don’t have to pay for,” Kessler said. “This bill encourages breaking up unions for political reasons.” Union contracts, Kessler also pointed out, routinely guarantee workers health insurance coverage, retirement benefits and greater workplace safety. Sen. Herb Snyder, D-Jefferson, called the legislation “the most divisive bill I have ever seen. It is nothing but an illusion.” He added, “When other states went to right-to-work, wages went down by 17 percent. It also hurts health-care plans and pension plans. This is for your children and for your grandchildren.” Meanwhile, the House next week is expected to begin debate on legislation to abolish prevailing wages for construction workers. The Senate plans to take up the bill after a House vote. Steve White, executive director of the Affiliated Construction Trades Foundation based in Charleston, opposed similar legislation proposed in the Legislature last February. He pointed to a study released in January 2015 by Dr. Michael P. Kelsay from the University of Missouri in Kansas City that found prevailing wage would: Cost West Virginia residents and their families between $51.3 million and $77.3 million a year in lost wages. Cost the state between $1.4 million and $2.2 million a year in lost sales taxes and between $3.1 million and $4.6 million in lost income taxes. Create a total economic loss between $44.8 million and $84.1 million annually. This year, the Republican Party has placed both these issues at the top of their legislative agenda. The proposed legislation to create a right-to-work law and end prevailing wages is sure to generate continued controversy in coming weeks and months. The Teamsters will continue the fight against these measures. "Right-to-work and prevailing wage won't help everyday West Virginians, they'll only further enrich out-of-state corporate interests pushing for their passage," a union spokesman said. "Lawmakers need to remember their constituents as they consider these measures."

We the residents of Del Rio Ranch are against the building of a Family Dollar store on the northeast corner of El Mirage and Lower Buckeye Rd. We do not want a business built right in front of our homes. We do not want increased unwanted traffic within our streets, increased risk of theft/and or burglary to our homes and to new houses being built.

What's happening in Atlanta, Georgia is nothing short of an unethical cover-up—and it's personal for thousands of parents whose children currently have a complex neurological disorder called Autism. In August 2014, Dr. Thompson issued a press release through his attorney stating, “I regret that my coauthors and I omitted statistically significant information in our 2004 article published in the Journal of Pediatrics. The omitted data suggested that African American males who received the MMR vaccine before age 36 months were at increased risk for autism.” Nevertheless, when the CDC scientists published their results in Pediatrics in 2004, they omitted the damaging data, fraudulently declaring there was no risk of autism from the MMR vaccination. Dr. Thompson has stated that as far back as 2001, scientists within the vaccine division of CDC have been aware of a connection between MMR and Autism in children. The effect was disproportionately observed among two groups of children: African-American boys and children who were born neuro-typical and who had met all milestones during the first year of life. Dr. Thompson has requested to testify before Congress about corruption at CDC and has handed Congress over thousands of documents showing widespread fraud in CDC’s vaccine division. U.S. Congressman Bill Posey of Florida requested information from the CDC regarding the study in the past, but the agency refused to hand anything over. Posey released a public statement saying, “The CDC can’t be trusted regarding investigating vaccine safety.” He even went on to say that the “CDC should be investigated.” We must call for an investigation first by getting Dr. William Thompson subpoenaed under oath. The CDC must be held accountable for fraud and corruption, which calls into question the validity of the entire body of research that families, medical professionals and policy-makers rely on when making decisions about the health of children. Once again, the CDC violated the public trust by concealing the link between vaccines and autism in all children.
