• STOP CHEMTRAILS NOW!!!
    Yes, I have been personally affected by CHEMTRAILS. So has EVERYONE ELSE in the United States. If one is a walking, talking, breathing, human being, one has been personally affected. THERE IS NO ESCAPE! This diabolical scheme requires millions or billions or trillions of dollars, and, as such, is probably funded by BIG WORLD BUSINESS and/or BIG WORLD GOVERNMENT. The chemtrails MUST be stopped, AND THEY MUST BE STOPPED NOW! Thank you.

  • Durbin: Help Stop Transfer of MANPADS to Syria
    On June 19, the House took an important step by prohibiting the transfer of MANPADS to actors in Syria. [1] House passage of the Conyers-Yoho-Welch-Amash-Grayson-DesJarlais-Nolan amendment showed that Members of the House understood that these are particularly dangerous weapons due to the possibility that they could be used by terrorists against civil aviation in Israel and elsewhere. [2] [3] [4] Recent events in Iraq have shown that there is no border separating Sunni insurgents fighting the government of Syria from Sunni insurgents fighting the government of Iraq, nor any boundary between different groups of Sunni insurgents. Illinois Senator Dick Durbin is in a unique position as Chair of the Senate Defense Appropriations Subcommittee. He could ensure that the House provision becomes law by including it in the Senate’s Defense Appropriation. References: 1.

  • Petition for timely financial aid refund disbursement at Seminole State College
    Every semester it is the same thing. Students begging for information regarding their student loan and federal Pell Grant refunds. We are told inconsistencies and flat-out lies by the administration of this school. This needs to stop. Having attended another college in Florida, I know that this problem is isolated to Seminole State College.

  • Expose the NRA (National Rifle Association), for inciting domestic terrorism in the United States...
    Aren't we all tired of these mass shootings &, those who are truly responsible walking away free? Join me by signing this petition to President Obama to set up a commission to investigate the NRA exposing the money trail through the lobbyists they send to Washington with cash to burn selling out America’s safety so weapons manufacturers can make money off of the blood of America’s children. If we don't protect our children, who will?

  • Fireworks, short term celebration, long term public nuisance
    The time of year that I and many, many others might enjoy the most has now become an any night, any time, selfish invasion of explosions and pyrotechnics. People with rudely awakened and scared kids, terrified and trembling pets in need of medication, elderly and/or people battling illnesses who need their rest, veterans with PTSD, and fire dangers all deserve better consideration. A common sense solution for a lack-of-common-courtesy problem.

  • Don't let Governor 1% Squash the Middle Class
    For 5 years now Governor Christie has cut taxes for the rich at the same time he cut services for the rest of us. The result is soaring deficits, reduced credit ratings, and un-employment higher than New York, Pennsylvania, and 40 other states. It is time to reverse course and ask those who have profited most by his policies to help those who have been hurt.

  • Sign and send the petition: Demand FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler hold public hearings on net neutrality
    In the past few weeks, an overwhelming number of comments have been filed at the FCC in favor of protecting an open internet and real net neutrality. Despite this, FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler has not scheduled large, public field hearings. Before Chairman Wheeler considers passing rules which could end net neutrality and open the door for pay-to-play lanes, he should face the American public by holding large, open public meetings across the country. In addition to voices from the grassroots, FCC commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel has indicated her support for more public input. Rep. Mike Honda issued a letter inviting the Chairman to hold public meetings in Silicon Valley. Further, Senator Pat Leahy took matters into his own hands and plans to hold a public field hearing for constituents in Vermont on July 1. Join the voices calling for Wheeler to hold large, open public field hearings. Sign and send the petition to the FCC demanding the Chairman come out and face the public support for real net neutrality.

  • Governor Jay Inslee: Protect Washington State Small Business from the Tyranny of L & I
    Our small family owned construction company is being ruthlessly and unfairly pursued by L & I for $38,000.00 in unsubstantiated underpayments, interest and penalties. We have never missed a payment, never had a claim and followed the direction of our L & I account manger to the tee. Still, there is little or no recourse for us other than extremely expensive legal counsel which we are struggling to afford and who have informed us it is doubtful we will win our case. We will be bankrupted, our seven employees will lose their jobs and our satisfied customers will be hard pressed to get their projects completed. State agencies like L & I should be responsible entities helping small business to thrive, grow and support the economy not destroy, defeat and undermine honest, hard working Washington citizens which clearly, using us as an example, they are hell bent to do.

  • Please don't gut Maui's workforce housing ordinance! We need it!
    I am a hard-working grandmother. I have a good job, I work hard, I raised children and grandchildren here on Maui, I try hard to save, I pray and I play by the rules. But for me and almost every family I know we cannot afford a house or a condo. We are all being priced out of our island, and in another generation many of our local families will be gone. Protecting our workforce housing ordinance is the least we can do to try and keep Maui, Maui.

  • Give felons a second chance!
    I am personally affected by this law. I have a possession with intent charge from 1991 and a obstructing justice charge from 2006. I went to addiction treatment and returned to school to earn a bachelor of arts degree in psychology and I am currently in my second year of working on my Master of Science in Counseling. I have worked hard, as others have, to change my life. I am so frustrated because after all of my hard work, I am still unable to gain employment because of my record. I have paid my dues and proven that I am rehabilitated!
