When infringement of one occurs, others will follow. There should be NO modification or codification of any infringements whatsoever.

Congressional gerrymandering in Ohio by Republicans has ensured that they control 12 of 16 districts; even though our state is considered balanced - or "purple". These districts as drawn have no regard to city, county or township lines; such as Scioto County being split in half between the 2nd and 6th Congressional Districts.

The Cannabis Advocacy Community is a broad spectrum of voices including social justice, industrial hemp, and patient's rights. The Marijuana Task Force created by the Ohio House is not diverse - and also includes two architects of ResponsibleOhio - the corrupt Issue 3 campaign using the Ohio Constitution to create a cartel. This hurts Ohio as a state and Ohio's future standing in the national cannabis economy and policy.

Max Villatoro - Mennonite pastor, father of four, husband, community organizer - was unjustly deported in March of 2015. In January of 2016, Rep.

OK is far behind other states in adapting to climate change and in starting this new industry, key to the transition to renewable energy. This law is vital to helping OK catch up.

Michigan officials have failed residents of Flint, Michigan. A state-appointed emergency manager switched Flint’s water supply to the Flint River in an attempt to cut costs. The water from the Flint River needed treatment to make it drinkable, but officials didn’t want to spend the small amount of money necessary to treat it. Instead, they dismissed complaints about the water from Flint residents for months, as lead contaminated the city’s water. Now, thousands will deal with the effects of lead poisoning for the rest of their lives. Tell Michigan Governor Rick Snyder to ensure every affected citizen is provided with free long-term care.

The idea that the wealthiest few so control the legislature as to prevent it from imposing common-sense, data-driven taxation policies is harming the labor force and thereby the chances at Washington state improving economically. It's past time that the state of Washington enact a progressive income tax.

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.
