Reinstate FCC Internet Neutrality RegulationsWith this sudden deregulation companies will be able to deny service to sites linked to their competitors, keeping consumers from looking at different services and deciding which company is best suited to their needs. This will also give service providers free reign to decide on pricing as well as increasing rates without having to conform to the government's standard, making millions pay more for the internet they have always had. If these deregulation efforts continue then companies will try to force us back into an old outdated media rather than innovate their own industry to adapt, something that has already held us back as a nation for the longest time.13 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ryan Alexander

Free access to medical marijuana to patients with financial hardshipsI am a medical marijuana patient on disability. I can rarely afford medicine because of the high costs. The medical marijuana law currently allows dispensaries to choose who gets free or reduced cost medicine. I would like to amend that guideline to make it state free medicine for financial hardship cases. These are patients at poverty level whom would go without medicine, such as people on disability and low income senior citizens. The dispensaries are non-profit and are supposed to be set up to help patients. The MA. DPH would decide which patients are financial hardship cases, and only those individuals would be eligible for free medicine.430 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Robert Cutler

Safeway - Label your GMO foodsThe FDA does not require the labeling of GMO (genetically modified) food products, leaving consumers in the dark about the ingredients in their food. Without knowing, consumers across the country regularly consume food that contains GMOs. Most of the food available on store shelves today contains GMOs—and they’re not without risk. For one thing, studies suggest that genetically modified crops require a dramatic increase in the use of pesticides and herbicides, which have been linked to serious health impacts. In addition, there may be other serious dangers, but we just don’t know - there is very little independent research done on the health implications of GMO consumption because the seeds are patented and the companies that own them prohibit their cultivation for research purposes. It’s time that we label all foods that contain GMOs so that consumers can make informed choices. However, some big food manufacturers, along with chemical companies like Monsanto, are spending millions of dollars to oppose labeling. Consumers overwhelmingly want to know what they’re eating, and grocery stores are beginning to heed the call – just last year, Whole Foods committed to labeling. Now, we’re calling on Safeway to side with its customers and label its brands too.99 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Sara Smith

Stop the Abuse of Mentally Ill Prisoners in SCI am a person with a serious mental illness. Five percent of the population suffers from a mental illness. Mental illness is not a crime; it is a brain disorder. Systematically torturing, abusing and neglecting prisoners because they have brain disorders is depraved and deplorable, and should never be permitted anywhere for any reason.30 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kathleen Pottle Brannon

Say "NO" to Tar Sands crude oil coming to New York!As a longtime Albany resident, I'm gravely concerned about my city. Petroleum company Global Partners wants to ship heavy crude oil, extracted from tar sands, by rail to the Port of Albany in New York and then down the Hudson River. A mere derailment or fire could irreparably damage New York's environment. And the site of the crude oil heating facility is right next to low-income housing, where the predominately African-American and Latino communities who live there will be particularly vulnerable. New York needs to take a stand on environmental justice. Tell the Department of Environmental Conservation to protect the Hudson River and low-income communities and stop crude by rail. http://www.timesunion.com/opinion/article/Editorial-Come-clean-on-crude-oil-5139332.php619 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Anita Thayer
