We have an epidemic of drug addiction and it's only going to grow if we don't make some major changes. We need to stop the revolving doors to our prisons and jails. It's been proven that sentencing people with addiction issues to jail/prison and releasing them over and over isn't working and it's costing taxpayers millions of dollars. According to the Minnesota House of Representatives, it costs approximately $32,700 of taxpayer money every year for each inmate as opposed to $2000 to $7000 for treatment. We need rehabilitation not incarceration. We need more treatment centers that people can afford without lengthy waiting lists so when a loved one says they want/need treatment they can get in somewhere ASAP. Waiting could mean more jail or possible death due to an overdose. Let's wake up!!

There has been a ban on firearms at the North Carolina State Fair for decades. Gun rights extremists are threatening to sue the state to force Fair officials to allow concealed carry on the fairgrounds. State Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler is holding firm on the no-guns ban, saying he “believes that guns would be detrimental to the Fair’s family-friendly environment,” and Governor Pat McCrory is backing him up. Please thank Commissioner Troxler and Governor McCrory for upholding the no-guns ban at the State Fair in the face of legal threats from gun rights extremists. Let’s make sure they know we back them up as they try to keep families safe at the Fair. Sign our thank you message now!

Nearly 70% of Ben Sasse's campaign financing has come from outside of Nebraska, with another $1.5 million coming from PACs who don't have to disclose their donors. Hardworking Nebraskans deserve honest representation in Congress. We need a Senator who will work in the interest of Nebraskans, not out-of-state donors.

It seems ludicrous to endanger the lives of so many people by lengthening the response time. If Newport has the highest concentration of people going to sea, it only makes sense for Newport to have the rescue capability at hand. Please sign to protect the lives of our sea going community.

This Judge has been deemed Unethical and publicly admonished by his peers for attempting to intimidate a public college in an effort to further his own son's career while trampling on the rights of other Father's who want to see their children.. John Nesbitt has refused to allow me to have custody of my child. He refuses to enforce his own order which allows me visitation rights with my son! Tell this unethical Judge to enforce his own visitation order or grant me full custody of my 16 year old son who wants to live with me or show one single reason why it shouldn't be allowed. Put up or shut up Nesbitt!

The EPA's proposed rule to restore protections to waters of the United States would clarify and establish protections for OVER HALF of the country's rivers, streams, and wetlands. Clean water is critical to public health, recreation, and the economy!

Dominus Holdings, LLC is trying to change their plans for 838 W Erie Street. They want to remove/reduce the set backs and make the buildings taller. Residents have already met, discussed and approved an architectural plan. We did not approve these changes!

To prevent the destruction of green belt land and nuisance caused by large goods vehicles using roads already at capacity.

As daylight shortens, commuters and trail users have to find alternative routes that do not include Delaware State Parks in the fall, winter, and spring. The affordability of new lighting technologies is making it safer to commute or recreate during night time hours. My recreational opportunities are limited between September and April because I work an 8 to 5 job.

Voter ID imposes an unjust and unconstitutional burden on voters. This is voter suppression and it is causing confusion and chaos. Voters who have voted all of their lives and fought for the right to vote face not being able to exercise their constitutional rights.

The effects of moving Joni Ernst into congress could be disastrous if she turns the tide on the XL Pipeline, a Koch Brother's scheme to make billions of dollars while we, the whole Midwest US population take the risk of a huge pollution of our aquifer and top soil ... two of the things millions of citizens depend on for survival and agriculture. She has stated multiple things against minimum wage increases as well ... the voice of the million dollar club at the top, no one should have to live in poverty while getting paid minimum wages.

This is a proposal for a ‘Water Consumption Tax’ when purchasing meat, dairy and eggs. A person consuming meat, dairy and eggs is responsible for massive amounts of water usage for the production of the animal products, far more than a person living a plant based lifestyle. In some cities, households are limited to only 50 gallons of water usage per person a day and fined if they exceed that amount. The same should apply to omnivores who eat animal products without consequence for the water crisis. The standard diet of a person in the United States requires 4,200 gallons of water per day (for animals’ drinking water, irrigation of crops, processing, washing, cooking, etc.). A person on a vegan diet requires only 300 gallons a day. It takes approximately 660 gallons of water to produce one quarter pound hamburger patty. At those numbers, it takes 2640 gallons of water to produce one pound of beef. Using that estimate it would take 6,600,000 gallons of water to produce one ton of beef; which would be equivalent to filling a 40 gallon bathtub 165,000 times. It is time for people who are consuming animal products to pull their own weight and to start being responsible for their impact to California's water crisis.
