I need a specific color to dress Mental health awareness day up, so Yellow is what I came up with, this is healthy and very uplifting.

Right now, Nebraska officials like Gov. Dave Heineman are blocking the expansion of Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act. As a result, about 50,000 low-income Nebraskans will be left without access to health care – except through the high-cost emergency room. With Medicaid expansion, these Nebraskans will instead have access to cost-effective preventative care to keep them healthy and working. This federal investment will also return between $2.3 billion and $3.5 billion to Nebraska’s economy this decade. Our tax dollars are leaving our state regardless of whether or not Nebraska takes advantage of this new program -- and Medicaid expansion is the only way to bring them back from Washington It's time to do the right thing for our economy, our health care system, and for our neighbors by providing health care coverage for all Nebraskans. Expand Medicaid in Nebraska now.

I'm starting this petition in order to provide better opportunities for our children's future through the reduction of student loan debt. Additionally, this proposal reduces our national debt by accruing loan interest directly by the federal government (at least $55 billion dollars over 15 years). This loan interest can be used to fund future loans as well as help pay down our national debt.

This law would disable the huge salary increases that congress has voted themselves over the years. They would be more interested in serving their constituents and not lobbyists if the constituents had the power to appraise and give salary increases by merit. This would go along with the system of checks and balances in our government.

"The New York State Committee To Legalize Marijuana” was organized to get Marijuana legalized and regulated in New York State. Our members are registered voters of New York State who want marijuana legalized. Every polls supports that fact. This petition is another way to tell New York State Politicians to give the people what they want.

The reason for this petition is the fact that if the members of congress had a financial interest in the well being and continuance of Social Security, they would be more willing to work hard on keeping it going and keeping it successful. They would be less likely to dip into the funds for other uses and less likely to terminate it or cause it to fail. The strength and continuance of Social Security is good for all Americans - young and old.

Our neighborhood has done enough to support the revenue for the Sheriff's office. We appreciate their work and time to keep us safe but it is time to fill in the "watering hole" and get the speed limit changed to a safe and appropriate 45mph on CR5!

My son attends Central High School and getting up at 6:00 is quite difficult. He has trouble going to sleep earlier. Check out this recent New York Times article: http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/03/13/to-keep-teenagers-alert-schools-let-them-sleep-in/?_php=true&_type=blogs&_r=0

This petition is an attempt to open the books to the public and renew trust in our school district. The public has lost faith in this administration's ability to tell us where the money is going and where it came from.

Our governor and Republican Legislators have torn Wisconsin apart and the citizens are sick of their crap.

To save the world, LITERALLY, from the hands of a few Big corporations that plan to dominate the world's food, cotton, paper and other resources by owning patented seeds and live organisms with tweaked and modified genes that puts our diverse and versatile world in grave danger and undermines the importance of democracy and human, plant, and animal rights, not to mention, the effects it has on Global warming as well.

Oppose legislation granting an exemption to state law, which will allow the development of residential properties in Kaka’ako Makai. Kaka’ako Makai is the last public oceanfront land in urban Honolulu and should be preserved for all the People of Hawaii to enjoy. Public policy was established in 2006 by the Power of the People with the enactment of a law prohibiting residential development in Kaka’ako Makai. This law stands today to protect this land from becoming another Waikiki. In April of 2012 Gov Abercrombie signed into law a land settlement deal that transferred 25 acres of prime real estate into the custody of Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA). OHA and their allies in the Legislature continue to seek an exemption from current laws prohibiting residential development in Kaka’ako Makai. If passed, this exemption to current State law will allow the development of residential property on 3 lots in Kaka'ako Makai. OHA knew of the residential restrictions when they accepted the Kaka’ako Makai property as settlement but now wants to change the law in order to develop residential properties. This action will also set a bad precedent for further residential development by giving other entities the opportunity to also ask for exceptions in the Kaka'ako Makai area. These developments will restrict open access to shoreline fishing, diving, water sports, as well as a waterfront promenade, picnic areas, and significantly impact panoramic views. Once you build residential, the land becomes private and only the residents can use the land. In 2006, when legislators passed the law prohibiting residential development in Kaka’ako Makai, only one lawmaker in each chamber opposed the law. In 2012 OHA's attempts to pass similar bills asking for exemptions failed to pass the legislative session. It is clear that the people have spoken. Keep public land for all the People of Hawaii.
