With your help we can strengthen our movement to promote the legislation nationwide. Ask congress to help remove this roadblock preventing millions of students from generating IP, starting companies and creating jobs. Our goal is to reach to the most influential policy makers. Require our nation's public institutions to implement student-friendly IP policies in the upcoming Higher Education Reauthorization Act.

The Koch Brothers have put their fingers and $$$ into almost every aspect of our country. If you accept their contributions, you are no longer representing us, the people. Government run by corporations is not democracy, it's Fascism.

It was wrong what the Germans did to the Jews, wrong what South Africa did with apartheid and equally wrong what is being done to the Palestinians.

By investing $500 million in tax abatements for clean energy projects, Nevada has attracted $5.5 billion of capital. These investments provide a 10 to 1 return, providing Nevada with jobs and a long-term competitive advantage among Western states. Fortune 500 companies have also demonstrated strong returns from clean energy investments and are collectively saving $1.1 billion dollars a year and reducing CO2 emissions by 58.3 million metric tons, which is similar to retiring about 15 coal power plants. By developing and implementing our own plan to reduce carbon emissions, Nevada will harness more of our own natural energy resources, including improved efficiency and increased geothermal, solar and wind development. This will allow us to keep more of our money in Nevada by decreasing our dependency on out of state fossil fuels, which are subject to volatile price fluctuations while increasing our ability to export clean, renewable energy.

Net metering is an important policy that encourages distributed generation systems, such as roof-top solar, by allowing individuals and businesses to plug into Nevada’s grid system and receive credits toward their bills for the energy their systems generate. By supporting distributed generation, Nevada will continue private investments into the clean energy economy, harness our own natural resources and keep more of our money in state by decreasing our purchase of out of state fossil fuels, which are subject to volatile price fluctuations.

When becoming a senior, the students have more to focus on such as college and thus need more time away.

Organizing for Sierra Leone is an umbrella group of Sierra Leoneans seeking good governance, accountability and a better quality of life for Sierra Leoneans wherever they may be but most importantly for citizens residing in Sierra Leone. Most members and supporters of this organization would be better served if this petition results in a resolution that will solve this injustice. This is a petition to give Sierra Leoneans or dual citizens of Sierra Leone their constitutional right to vote in elections for every public office in Sierra Leone. Sierra Leoneans in the diaspora are interested to make contributions in the area of governance in Sierra Leone by seeking a leadership that can explore and deliver a vision to attain Sierra Leone's fullest potential. Diasporans have contributed immensely to the economy of Sierra Leone by their remittances to support family and small businesses. Diasporans can't just remain outside spectators or a pool for sustenance of an increasingly dependent population. Diasporans seek an economy where the people are offered tools and an enabling environment to attain their highest potential that would improve on their quality of life. We can partner with our fellow countrymen at home to select leaders with a vision and commitment to stem the regression in our quality of life, create upward mobility in creating real hope to fulfill our collective dream of Sierra Leone as the paradise God created for all of us. Please sign this petition to give a voice to a large segment of our countrymen disenfranchised because of their circumstances or due to a lack of vision to tap this valuable portion of our human resources. We demand our rightful heritage as Sierra Leoneans as well as our constitutional right to vote as citizens. May our dreams become reality for a better Sierra Leone. Organizing for Sierra Leone.

Hofmann Forest has been owned for the benefit of NC State University for 80 years, ever since "Doc" Hofmann purchased the tract for his newly founded School of Forestry. Now, however, the leaders of NCSU are trying to sell this huge coastal forest for $150 million, so they can invest the proceeds in Wall Street instead. And the buyer they've chosen prepared detailed plans to bulldoze 45,000 acres of the forest into cropfields (to grow corn which would feed corporate hogs) and another 9000 acres into golf courses and strip malls. This would be disastrous for wildlife, water quality (3 rivers flow out of Hofmann Forest), and the reputation of NC State University.
