$1 Billion for Clean Energy InventionsThe Gallery of Clean Energy Inventions includes 41 generators, 16 advanced self-powered electric vehicle innovations, 25 radioactivity neutralization methods, 22 space travel innovations, 10 technical solutions to water shortages, and torsion field school network. See https://app.box.com/CLEANENERGYEXHIBIT. $1 billion would establish a comprehensive proactive clean energy inventions evaluation and development organization headquartered in Nevada. Clean energy inventions would be much cheaper, healthier and better for our environment than obsolete energy sources like solar, wind, uranium, and fossil fuels. For example the $2.2 billion Ivanpah solar thermal generator near Las Vegas is inefficient and kills 28,000 birds a year!68 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Gary Vesperman

Reform Prop. 13/Educate Our StateCalifornia is one of the largest economies in the world, yet our public education system had been radically defunded over the last two decades. We are at the point where the UC system, once the jewel of California's public education system, is reliant on out-of-state tuition. California ranks 47th out of 50 in national per pupil funding of K-12 students. Prop. 13 has severely decreased funding for public education. Corporate entities use artificially low tax rates to increase their profits. That was not the intention of Prop. 13. The costs of goods and services rise over time. Corporate landlords should pay market rate property taxes so they can contribute their fair share to public education. We all rely on public education to produce the next generation of entrepreneurs, doctors, nurses and engineers. Let's educate the next generation.

Councilmember Tommy Wells- Mark up Bill 20-107 to Criminalize Elder Financial Exploitation by Use...Elder financial abuse/exploitation is becoming the crime of the 21st century as the growing senior population is increasingly targeted. Elder financial abuse/exploitation by use of "undue influence" must be criminalized in the District of Columbia. DC Councilmember Marion Barry introduced Bill 20-107, "Charles and Hilda Mason Elder Abuse Clarification and Expansion Act of 2013." The Bill was referred to the Judiciary Committee chaired by DC Councilmember Tommy Wells in February 2013. Councilmember Wells is letting Bill 20-107 die in the Judiciary Committee instead of marking it up to criminalize elder financial exploitation by use of "undue influence," as 14 other states do, and reporting the Bill mark-up out of the Judiciary Committee to the Committee of the Whole for an up or down vote before the CY '2014 legislative year ends on 12/23/14. "It was once said that the moral test of government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; and those who are in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy and the handicapped."

MAKE HISTORY! HELP ILLINOIS RATIFY THE EQUAL RIGHTS AMENDMENTEvery constitution written since the end of WWII includes a provision that men and women are equal citizens. The U.S. Constitution has no such provision. Attempts over more than 200 years have been unsuccessful. Equality is long overdue - in the workplace and in institutions throughout our society. This is a civil rights issue. Pass the ERA for your own sake, for your mothers, your wives, your daughters, your sisters! Help us make Illinois the 36th state to ratify the ERA. Tell the Illinois House of Representatives to vote "YES" now, during veto session.85 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Maureen Headington

Expel Senators McConnell & Paul! (@McConnellPress, @SenRandPaul)We believe that United States Senator Mitch McConnell, aka Addison Mitchell McConnell, Jr., and United States Senator Rand Paul, aka Randall H. Paul, M.D., have been derelict in their duties and responsibilities as a United States Senators under Article 1, Section 5, Clause 2 of the United States Constitution, especially in the areas of Safety & Security, and should be removed by their peers in the Congress for this dereliction.191 of 200 SignaturesCreated by David Davidson

Mandate that Institutions of Higher Education Make Parents and Students Aware of HIPAA and FERPA ...My son took his own life at his college in 2009 just two weeks after making a suicide attempt on that same campus. The written material given to us by his institution said they would call parents in an emergency. They did not. We want to save lives and prevent other parents from experiencing the pain and anguish of losing a child. We believe making parents aware that they will not automatically be called in an emergency can lead to an open discussion with their adult children before they go off to college regarding the best course of action to take in the case of an emergency.1,433 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Margaret and Delfin Go

TAKE ACTION NOW TO PROTECT CENTRAL AMERICAN AND MEXICAN CHILDREN AND FAMILIESAs people of conscience, we commend you for the anticipated Administrative Action you are taking to address our broken immigration system and the temporary relief it will provide to thousands of immigrant families. It is a long overdue first step toward recognizing the humanity and inalienable human rights of our immigrant sisters and brothers. At the same time, we are compelled by our conscience to insist that you include the thousands of still arriving Central American and Mexican children and their families fleeing violence and seeking reunification with their loved ones. We appeal to you to use your executive authority to grant them refugee status, Temporary Protected Status (TPS) or deferred action status per the recommendation of the United Nations High Commission on Refugees (UNHCR) [1] and Pope Francis who declared these children must be “welcomed and protected.” [2] At this moment, thousands of mothers, fathers and children, many of whom are fleeing extreme violence, death threats, rape, and persecution in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras are being held in US detention centers. The President must take action to release them and grant them immediate protection. We remain one executive order away from protecting children. Our hearts go out to the more than 60,000 children who have come to this country seeking protection, but who now face immediate deportation back to unspeakable violence in home countries, and away from family members already here in the US. How many child refugees must die after being deported, before the President takes action? We will not allow these child refugees to be sent back or taken away from families already here. If our government will not protect children, we, people of conscience, will. [1] Testimony of United Nations High Commission on Refugees (UNHCR) Senior Protection Officer, Leslie Velez, before the United States Congressional House Judiciary Committee , June 25, 2014 [2] Statement by Pope Francis, July 15 2014: “This humanitarian emergency requires, as a first urgent measure, these children be welcomed and protected." And that these measures “must be accompanied by policies that inform people about the dangers of such a journey and, above all, that promote development in their countries of origin.”114 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Bennett Falk
