Let's bring a level playing field to politics by overturning Citizens United. We are ALL affected by this.

I believe that too much money and time is spent during election campaigns. If we want to have greater say in government, we need to get big money, ie. corporations, out of politics. This committee would be a first step in the process.

Bird populations are declining at an alarming rate with an estimated 1 billion birds killed by window collisions per year in the US alone. Let's stop being the nation's example of the problem and be an example for the solution.

Safety on the roads is a top priority for everyone. If allowed to obtain a Driving Privilege Card, studies show undocumented drivers who have passed written, road, and eye tests are less likely to be involved in car accidents. Furthermore, Driving Privilege Cards will require these drivers to purchase car insurance and prove residence through proof of tax payments for two years. Driving Privilege Cards will thus improve the economy and increase tax revenue.

I have three children, two of whom were given devices for which they have no demonstrated need. Arlington has wonderful teachers. They deserve a 1:1 program that has been developed to meet their needs and implemented with sufficient training for them and sufficient transparency for the rest of the community.

To feel safe in my community and everywhere I must go to go about my daily business, it is essential for our community, our state and our country to be safer. We need to focus on making our lives free of fear. Please join me in working to make our families safer in this era of lack of equality and justice brought on by decades of neglect of our Congress and the Executive branch.

We have all been affected by the courage of a young man who decided what was the right thing to do. The information he gave us exposed the insideous invasion of our privacy. We should celebrate Edward Snowden and be proud that he is one of us.

YES, I AM VERY PERSONALLY AFFECTED BY THIS!! THE HOMELESS HAVE RIGHTS!! FIRST AND FOREMOST- HOUSING!!!! I lost my home by no fault of my own! I was NOT prepared for it. All the AGENCIES that I turned to for help said that I had to have children under the age of 18 or they have no funds, vouchers, no room, etc...It's been 11 weeks now. My son, daughter and myself living OUTSIDE, in our car. OUTSIDE LIKE UNWANTED DOGS!!! Even though I had a small income, it was not even enough to rent a 1 bedroom ANYTHING! We were disconnected from any of our so-called friends. We have no family to turn to. We are not drug addicts or drunks. We have no criminal charges or records. NOW MY CAR NO LONGER RUNS AND WE'RE STUCK UNDER A BRIDGE!! People everywhere are so detached and busy. They just look the other way. 47% of the State of Georgia has no HEALTH CARE. That's nearly half of our State folks! Wake up! I want people who want to help people in NEED!! It COULD happen to you!! No bed, no bathroom, no way to cook, no money and no help and SCARED OF MY SURROUNDINGS!! NO MORE RAPID REHOUSING!!! GIVE US YOUR EMPTY BUILDINGS FOR US TO REHAB!! WE WILL DO ALL THE WORK JUST TO HAVE HOMES!! Let's do something truly SEPARATE AND DISTINCT from all the REST!!! STOP THE HATE CRIMES!!! HELP ME NETWORK AND SERVE THOSE IN A CRISIS AND ELIMINATE TREATING PEOPLE AS JUST DISPOSABLE HUMANS!! ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS!!! DO AN ACT OF TANGIBLE KINDNESS, SIGN THE PETITION AND WRITE A HAND WRITTEN LETTER TO YOUR LEGISLATORS!! HELP ME STAY ON TOP OF THIS!! TAKE RESPONSIBILITY!!! YOU COULD BE NEXT!!!

Quebec law allows bilingual signs in stores. Costco is spitting in the faces of their English members for absolutely no reason whatsoever. It is time for Costco to show some respect for their English speaking members in Montreal! https://anglosigns.wordpress.com/2013/07/13/is-something-rotten-at-costco/

The cost of residential trash removal varies from household to household, as do the services offered. A recent poll showed NF citizens paying anywhere from $27 to $49 per month for similar services. Many small providers are merging with larger providers, who are then raising rates. The cost savings with a municipal contract with a private provider is significant. For example, the Town of Ellington (pop 15,000), CT contracts with one provider that costs each participating household $125 per year, which comes to $10.42 per month. For $10.42 a month, house holds receive a 96 gallon rolling cart and recycle bin, weekly trash pick up, and bulky item removal up to 4 times per year. Citizens may opt out and use the transfer station. Consolidating services will save money for everyone.

Many politicians and their staffers in Missouri use their positions as starting points to become high-paid lobbyists. The rules in Missouri on how long a person has to serve in public office or work for a politician in office as well as gifts and donations to politicians are the most lenient in the US. One politician didn't even serve his full term. He quit in midterm to become a lobbyist. There should be a minimum of 3 years waiting period with 5 being even better. Our state and country are being sold out due to greed. We need to take it back and stop the hijacking of our country.

House Bill 4052 would take power away from communities in order to protect corporate profits. Special interests shouldn’t be allowed to overturn decisions they don’t like made by local governments, but now they’re trying to prevent local laws that reflect our values, like making our workplaces healthier and requiring community benefit agreements when taxpayer resources are used in development projects. Protect local progress today.
