• Make Higher Education Affordable
    As a student currently enrolled at the University of Vermont, I've experienced the overwhelming burden of higher education. I won't stand by while our nation's young people struggle to realize their dreams of a better tomorrow. The future of our country depends on the affordability of college today.

  • Remove Cannabis From Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act
    I have many medical conditions for which Cannabis has been proven effective. My husband has cancer and another relative has found Cannabis useful for TBI treatment. We are all productive citizens of good moral character and believe that we have the right to choose to use Cannabis instead of the much more harmful and addictive drugs presently prescribed. By not removing this plant from the top Controlled Substance list the Federal government is doing a great disservice to our society and causing people who do choose to use it illegally to be turned into criminals according to the current laws.

  • Protect Children From Adult Content In King County Libraries
    Adults may access content that is unsuitable for children, and potentially harmful for children. While there may be legitimate reasons to access that content, children should not be unavoidably exposed to it. If the Library wishes to provide a safe, educational atmosphere for children, it should take seriously its obligation to maintain that atmosphere.

  • Grandparents Rights in Alabama
    Grandparents who have a pre-existing relationship with their Grandchild since birth should have visitation rights. When the Grandchild has become self- aware, knows who we are and what we mean to him and is very familiar with their surroundings, they should not be restricted or punished un-necessarily. We believe it is in the best interest of any Grandchild that they be given the opportunity to visit their Grandparents. We believe Grandparents should be given visitation rights that are reasonably accepted by all parties. We believe the absence of a loved one, who has been such a big part of their Grandchild's life, is like experiencing a death, because the loved ones are here one day and gone the next. It happens too quickly already!

  • Gas Leak on Kennedy Blvd and Little League Lack of Safety
    The lack of proper maintenance for a housing development led to major gas leaks which forced over 170 people into the cold. Assistance was only provided for the ones that went to a shelter. Due to financial hardship and convenience many could only find housing with friends or family. There was a lack of equal assistance among all the residents. The livelihood and welfare of seniors, children, special needs children and animals were put at risk. For the families that were not put into hotels, we want credit on our rent. We want reimbursement for expenses such as the following: payments to family/friends to take animals and for any payment made for providing the residence shelter; paying expense for illness caused for being forced into the cold; and expenses for having to get our children to school when we had to live out of the riverside district. Hopes this brings light to safety concerns in these development will stop being ignored and safe apts being provided of individuals that are true need of assistance.

  • Stop BSL in WI
    More states are realizing Breed Specific Legislation is not the answer. It's time for WI to jump on the bandwagon of what's right and ban BSL for good. A dog's breed does not determine it's character & focus should be on the deed and not the breed.

  • Ban the Pesticide Bifenthrin
    There is a pervasive lack of understanding of the toxicity and prevalence of bifenthrin and most states are not looking for bifenthrin in urban streams. This is a silent killer that no one is looking for. We could have healthy urban streams full of fish and strong local economies if we properly manage our urban environments. Banning bifenthrin would be a large step in that direction.
