Utah Citizens’ plan to clean up our dirty air. I. Transportation Reform • Expand mass transit through better funding, expanded service, and affordable fares that encourage increased use. • Ten-year moratorium on new freeway construction. • Statewide requirement for the latest emissions controls for all diesel engines, both commercial and public. II. Big Industry Sources • A ten-year moratorium on expansions and new fossil-generated power plants. This includes the oil refineries, Kennecott Copper, cement plants and any other heavy industrial point sources. • Mandate maximum pollution control technology on existing plants within two years. III. Smaller Industry Sources • Close Stericycle NOW. • Ban open industrial and agricultural burning. Includes ATK, metal recyclers, Hill Air Force Base, etc. • Phase out and relocate Geneva gravel operations at Point of the Mountain. IV. Regulatory Authority • Allow state and local governments to enact stricter air quality rules than the federal government. • Increase funds for the Division of Air Quality so they can do their job, including statewide monitoring and enforcement. • End the domination of the Air Quality Board by industry. Restructure with equal representation from health and environmental interests. V. Dirty Energy • Stop permitting tar sands and oil shale. Stop making Utah the dirty energy capitol of the U.S.! • Utah’s electric providers should give consumers more choices for clean, renewable energy. • Implement a strong energy efficiency building code for all new residential and commercial buildings. • Enact programs that encourage distributed generation and home/business heating (I.e., rooftop solar to power homes and electric cars, and geothermal heating) • NO tacked on utility fees for home generated electricity.

A toxic chemical was spilled into the Elk River above Charleston's main water intake on January 9, 2014 which has poisoned our water supply, putting hundreds of thousands at risk of exposure. Our friends and families have reported a chemical odor, vomiting, itchy eyes, and skin rashes due to exposure even after they were told that the water was safe for consumption after following West Virginia American Water's directions for flushing our water systems.

WSSC, the water and sewer utility for Prince George's and Montgomery Counties in MD, uses a tiered flat rate system. That means that the more you use, the higher your rate for the entire amount. So an individual living alone may pay $7.01 for 1000 gallons of water, whereas a large family may pay $14.08 or more for 1000 gallons because their overall usage is higher. This rate structure places an excessive, unfair financial burden on larger households. A true tiered rate system would be structured like tax tables: pay one rate for the first 5000 gallons, a slightly higher rate for the next 5000, etc. This would be fairer to larger households while still encouraging conservation.

We do not want a tragedy like the Trayvon Martin case to happen to a citizen of Georgia because of our "shoot first," "stand your ground" law. No citizen should be profiled and shot while their perpetrator is allowed to go unpunished due to such a law with unclear applications and loopholes. Therefore, we call upon the Georgia Legislature to repeal Georgia's "Stand Your Ground" law. Sen. Vincent Fort has drafted legislation to repeal this law, and we call upon you to support and pass the repeal of "Stand Your Ground" in the state of Georgia!

TO SAVE LIVES

For me, I've noticed, since about season two when Hook came on as a character, they've been promoting Hook this Hook that and slowly forgetting about everyone else. They were never ones to promote for my personal favorite character Neal, and I felt like less of a fan and person because they paid so much attention to Hook instead. This should never happen to anyone else.

I've been personally affected by roswell NM Berrendo Middle School shooting All of Roswell NM need this to happen so we can start healing!!!!

House Speaker John Boehner should be removed from office because did not attempt in good faith to resolve the issue of extending the Unemployment Benefits prior to the recess of 1/18/2014, leaving millions of American's in limbo on basic living. Boehner 'stretched' this issue out after he was asked to resolve the issue prior to the recess. This meant more people went without any income based on Mr. Boehner's priorities (pleasure before work).

Washington Heights is full of young kids. Parents in District 6 (the most crowded district in New York City) compete for a handful of available spots in local public pre-Ks. Mother Cabrini High School is closing at the end of this school year. We urge the City to acquire this soon-to-be empty school building and convert it into pre-K and kindergarten to serve our under-served neighborhood.

The San Francisco Bay Area's public transportation network cannot adequately serve the region's transportation needs. In response, employers and institutions around the Bay Area have begun providing bus services to their workers and students. These buses have been shown to reduce car ownership, eliminating 45 million vehicle miles travelled from Bay Area roadways each year, and reducing carbon emissions by 11,000 metric tons. The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) has developed a pilot program that would allow such buses to pay to use SFMTA bus stops to load and unload their students and workers. The program would allow San Francisco residents to continue to use shuttles to commute, while reducing negative impacts on Muni services.
