Court Ordered Citizen's Arrest of Bush Administration OfficialsI am a former volunteer to get Obama and Biden Reelected. I worked my ass off every chance I got, and I got Obama and Biden reelected, and seeing this suing the President by the Republican House, it makes me angry, that my hard work might go down the drain, just because Republicans can't win! I'm pissed. So, if Obama get's impeached, I say let's arrest every top official of the Bush Administration, for war crimes, economic crimes, everything. They shouldn't bask in nice retirement while the President suffers. Let's recall Boehner too?2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Brian Flaherty

Stop Unlicensed Massage TherapyIntended to strengthen public protection against the unlicensed practice of massage therapy, sponsor a bill that proposes several changes to the laws governing massage therapy licensure. Currently, it is a class E felony to practice massage therapy without a license or to employ three or more unlicensed individuals to practice massage therapy in New York State. This should be change to 1 unlicensed person, and be easily ENFORCED. The Laws are not enforced accurately because the NYS Dept. Of Education Laws are not concise when they describe scope of practice etc. Stop Appearance Enhancement Licensee's from practicing out of scope, governed by Dept of State Division of Licensing. State, County, Town and Village municipalities, as well the Dept. of Licensing and Dept of Education Office of Professions, often cite jurisdiction as an excuse for INACTION. Clarify scope of practice so Alleged Lawbreakers cannot use loopholes such as Reflexology, "beauty massage" "Foot Rub" Back Rub" and so forth. There is an immediate risk to one's health when therapeutic massage services are performed by an unlicensed individual. The scientific system of activity of the muscular structure of the human body requires the application of licensed therapeutic techniques when kneading, tapping and vibrating from the hands seeks to improve muscle tone and circulation. When these services are performed by an unlicensed individual, cramps and other inflicted pain on one's muscles can adversely impact the circulation in one's body. Because this is a problematic issue, greater restrictions and enforcement are needed throughout the State to hold those criminally accountable who are not authorized to perform such services on other people. Greater enforcement and regulation of the massage therapy profession will keep the health of the public a priority. This is a public health issue since there are a mountain of contraindications such as High Blood Pressure, Varicose Veins, peripheral neuropathy , Fever, Cancer, and Inflammation, just to name a few.705 of 800 SignaturesCreated by grace Hyndman-McCarthy
