Michigan's roads are in dire need of repair. Potholes are causing damage to our cars while lawmakers twiddle their thumbs. This is unacceptable. Sign our petition demanding our lawmakers fix Michigan's roads immediately!

Gas stations are charging upwards of fifteen cents and in some cases a dollar more per gallon for the use of a credit or debit card. This should be a "cost of doing business" or a they should charge a small percentage of the TOTAL sale not per gallon.

The abuse and neglect of dogs has become a world-wide epidemic. The overbreeding, lack of birth control, and abandonment of canines has contributed greatly to this serious problem. I want to see all dogs have a chance at a safe and happy life by solving the problems that we humans have created for them.

CNN legal analyst Sunny Hostin said the law has not caught up to technology and called it an assault on a woman's right to privacy. "I think the courts got it wrong," Hostin said. "The spirit of the law makes it clear it is about the person's privacy." Read the full article here: http://www.wesh.com/national-news/Massachusetts-court-Upskirt-photos-legal/24827980

Senate bills 1301 and 1784 would undermine the Northwest Forest Plan, the Endangered Species Act (ESA), and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) across Oregon's National Forests and BLM O & C lands to prop up "too big to fail" mega tree fiber operations owned by some of the wealthiest families in Oregon. Senator Wyden's goal is to more than double current tree fiber extraction levels upon 10 million acres of publicly owned federal lands throughout Oregon. SB 1301 would sunset in 2029 and SB 1784 has no sunset date. Current laws are already failing to recover 3 iconic endangered Northwest forest species - the Coho salmon, marbled murrelet and the Northern spotted owl - from extinction. Senator Wyden's tree fiber extraction bills, 1301 and 1784, could place the nail in the coffins of these 3 ESA listed species and Oregon's last stands of ancient forests.

Every dollar spent at the gas pump in Citgo Gas Stations buys the bullets and the guns, the tanks and the tear gas, used by the Venezuelan Government to commit every imaginable violation of Human Rights against the people.

I have watched my family and friends work so hard without getting ahead.

Many of us who live in the coastal resort areas of South Carolina, like Hilton Head, and Charleston, rely on out-of-state tourism revenues. We feel that allowing concealed firearms into places that serve alcohol is a recipe for tragedy. We also believe that posting "no guns allowed" signs in restaurant windows sends the wrong message to visitors, and will have a negative impact overall.

I would love to see the minimum wage increased. While in graduate school, I did substitute teaching(not minimum wage), beauty consultant(min.+ small percentage for making the owner rich), and waitressed for min.+ tips. My daughter is a delivery driver, minimum wage and she has to pay her own gas. Pizza Hut is lucky to have a driver with a math degree. Many teacher's aids in schools do not make the minimum, they make less than the substitutes. Many companies do not even allow their workers to work full time, so they don't have to pay benefits. Most people have or are looking for a second job to make ends meet. LET'S BE FAIR! :)

According to its 2013 Annual Report, “As a leader in the healthcare industry, Johnson & Johnson is committed to supporting the development of sound public policy in health care.” Yet the company opposes state governments’ efforts to make pseudoephedrine a prescription drug, as it was until 1976. Pseudoephedrine is used to manufacture methamphetamine. Since Oregon and Mississippi removed pseudoephedrine from the over-the-counter category, methamphetamine production in those states has fallen by 96% and 99.5%, respectively. The other 23 states that have tried to pass similar legislation have been stymied by the efforts of the Consumer Healthcare Products Association (CHPA), a lobbying and public relations firm. Johnson & Johnson is one of the biggest supporters of this organization. Drug companies earn about $605 million a year on the sale of pseudoephedrine. The failure properly to regulate these sales costs society much more. A 2009 study by the Rand Corporation concluded that methamphetamine abuse costs the nation between $16 and $48 billion annually. These billions are paid by the public for jails, hospitals, police and foster homes to address the consequences of methamphetamine abuse. Since drug companies that benefit from these sales are not paying for the negative health and social impacts of their product, the public is in this sense subsidizing these drug companies' operations. As a stockholder, I am appalled that my company chooses to make money from easy access to a drug that leaves children burned and dying, facilitates crime and domestic abuse and leads to ruined health. Mississippi and Oregon have shown that making pseudoephedrine available by prescription only substantially mitigates the terrible consequences of methamphetamine abuse. Johnson & Johnson’s support for efforts to defeat this sensible legislation is not the “love” it advertises; it truly tarnishes the image of Johnson & Johnson.

A package of harmful bills attacking access to women’s health care just passed the Alabama House and is poised to be debated in the Senate. These bills were designed to block access to abortion at any cost -- and it's clear that legislators haven’t gotten the message: People don’t want politicians to interfere in a woman’s personal, private decisions. Meanwhile, Alabama is facing budget shortfalls and lack of funding for education. We need to politicians to focus on the issues that impact all Alabamians, and not these dangerous bills. Act now to tell Alabama Senate leaders to reject these unnecessary and unacceptable bills.

Under one provision of a tax bill in Congress, businesses would no longer be able to take one-time tax deductions for all of the billions and billions they spend on marketing. A top advertising industry lobbyist said it was "a dreadful idea." So we know it would be effective. With advertising spending expected to increase, just in the U.S., to $160.8 billion in 2014 -- much of it targeting children, promoting unhealthy foods and products, or encouraging over-consumption -- closing this loophole that incentivizes excessive marketing would be a much-needed reform. Business expenses such as rent and utilities are immediately and fully deductible because at any moment in time they are essential to being in business. But because money spent on advertising can pay off over many years, this reform would require tax write-offs for advertising to be spread out over time as well. The reform is projected to increase federal tax revenue by $169 billion over the next ten years. That's revenue that could help fund important education, health care and other government programs.
