To bring about knowledge of the blatant distruction of our POLLINATORS and how important it is we STOP big companies from destroying our future for profit.

I run a start-up company with little capital. I believe my potential customers will be drawn away from my site if it is much slower than sites of larger companies who can afford the higher price of a faster Internet.

I depend on the internet for almost every facet of my daily life--from work to taking care of my family to paying bills, etc. Without access to the internet (or with a slower internet) I would not be able to do a lot of things that living life on-the-go necessitates. I keep in touch with family and friends; attend school; do research and, transact business with creditors and my business clients. The internet is the most valuable resource for my family and myself.

My God, it's the only level playing field left. I hope to launch a website soon to sell a product that I created . I can't afford a TV commercial or hire a sales force . I need the internet. Also my wife and daughter became very sick and we were able to research medicines and Doctors and reviews. I have been educated to many real life important issues by Moveon and other sites INVALUABLE!

The Problem: In New York State it is legal practice to withhold information pertinent to criminal cases from a defendant and his defense attorney until the very moment of trial. This is not because the information is unavailable; it is because the prosecution does not have to turn over such information earlier. For example, prosecutors are not required by law to hand over police reports, prior testimony, and any other evidence to the defendant until trial begins, and in some cases, not until the first witness takes the stand. A prosecutor does not even have to turn over evidence that might help a defendant or cast doubt on his guilt unless the prosecutor thinks it is important. This practice costs both taxpayers and the judicial system a great deal of time and money. The Solution: We request that the New York State Senate repeal Criminal Procedure Law Article 240 and enact Criminal Procedure Law Article 245. Such amendment would require that both the prosecution and defense attorney(s) provide each opposing parties with extensive discovery early in a criminal case. In addition, CPL Article 245 would include a mechanism for prosecutors with legitimate concerns about the safety of their witnesses or with on-going investigations to withhold or redact any evidence or information covered by the statute and to move for a protective order.

I am starting this petition to help clean up our planet and avoid plastic bottle overuse.

Jeanine Howard has just told every rape survivor, don't report your rape. She needs to be removed from the bench. She sentenced a rapist found guilty in a Texas court of law and who PLEAD GUILTY to raping a 14 year old girl to 45 days in jail and community service in a rape crisis center. Community service in a rape crisis center for a rapist is not justice and sends the wrong message to all survivors everywhere. Please sign this petition and share it with everyone you know. We need to have Judge Jeanine Howard removed from the bench. The chances of a rapist actually ending up in court and found guilty of rape is dismal. Then to give a convicted rapist access to more already victimized women, as a term of his conviction, is unconscionable. Because, especially if you've had multiple sex partners and an abortion, you pretty much gave consent with your past sexual behavior and you will not get justice. This is an incredibly important issue to address right this minute. Thank you.

I use the internet to access a wide variety of views, information, and vendors. I am extremely alarmed about how our lawmakers are equating money with speech and promoting the speech of those with money and suppressing the speech and opportunities of those without. This is a disaster for equality in America. This is another example of money buying exclusive access to our political and economic system. It must be stopped to preserve our democracy and free enterprise system.

I use the Internet daily to do research. If I didn't have options to go to small sites it would impact me greatly.

The deepest pockets have become the LOUDEST VOICES in determining where this country is headed. In doing so, they drown out the will of the voters. Join this non-partisan group of ordinary citizens who have put aside their careers and lives for months to bring together the many voices who are working independently on campaign finance reform so we can unite to get real change enacted. citizenscongress2014.org

From my morning news to kids homework and grade checking to communicating with their teachers; to coordinating soccer, piano and swim lessons; to shopping for grocery and other family needs from home to avoid traffic and lines and to save gas; to providing instant updates to my neighbors about safety issues and to communicate with my mayor's office about local issues - all of these will be impacted if I have to start paying to perform my daily functions. Please do not allow them to take away this right and freedom to live life without obstacles from us. Read More: 1.
