We need to make our voices heard by Attorney General Schuette and to get some action for the hundreds of victims and family members of victims that have been hurt and killed by Doctor Farid Fata. To date Bill Schuette has responded with nothing but boiler plate responses that don’t address what the issues really are. Bill Schuette is not a victims rights advocate as his political propaganda advertises him to be. We need Bill Schuette to step up to the plate and do the job that he was hired to do!

All Americans are being harmed by the Shutdown and the chaos over raising the debt ceiling limit. The recent actions by a few extremist Congresspersons is criminal behavior. Those who overtly block democratic process are unfit to serve. The Justice Department must defend the American public by stopping these few who have selfishly and unnecessarily inflicted economic and social harm on the many.

United Healthcare is dropping thousands of primary care physicians and specialists from Medicare Advantage plans and as of February 1, 2014, hundreds of thousands of senior citizens will not be able to see their physicians and these doctors will not be able to provide care to these patients. Continued high quality uninterrupted Healthcare of senior citizens in our state should be top priority and this action must be stopped.

[UPDATE: New York Times Public Editor Margaret Sullivan has responded to this petition: "The Times Is Working on Ways to Make Numbers-Based Stories Clearer for Readers" http://publiceditor.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/10/18/the-times-is-working-on-ways-to-make-numbers-based-stories-clearer-for-readers] Economist Dean Baker writes: "It is the media’s job to inform the public about the budget. They are clearly failing badly. A major reason is very simple. When they write about the budget they almost never put the numbers in context. As a result, readers might hear that we’re spending $15 billion on foreign aid or $400 million on the CPB [Corporation for Public Broadcasting] and think that this is a lot of money...But it is not a lot of money for the federal government. This point would be immediately apparent in every news report on the budget if the standard practice were to report budget items as a share of the budget instead of in dollar terms. Telling readers that spending on CPB takes up 0.012 percent of the budget immediately tells them how important this spending is to the government. Telling readers that we’re spending $400 million on CPB tells the overwhelming majority of readers almost nothing... Fortunately the New York Times has a public editor, Margaret Sullivan, who takes journalistic standards seriously. There is good reason to believe that if enough people were to raise this issue with her that she would look into the issue and press the matter with the paper’s editors. If the New York Times were to change its practice for budget reporting most of the rest of the media would almost certainly follow. The NYT is recognized as the preeminent newspaper in the country. Their standards are taken seriously by everyone." -"The Tea Party and the New York Times Shut Down the Government," Dean Baker, Truthout, 14 October 2013 http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/19402-the-tea-party-and-the-new-york-times-shut-down-the-government

Vermont Tech has a large tobacco-using population, whether that be smoking, chewing/dipping, or other means. This proposal restricts our personal freedoms and cultural values, as well as those of our peers. We are also concerned that if this proposal were passed, future enrollment at Vermont Tech would decline.

I've been hitchhiking the U.S.A. over 11 years to use less gas & spread conservation efforts & trust. I believe it is better for people to have the choice to work together & to conserve. I am tired of being told "If I see you out here on the side of the road again you're going to jail." Righteousness MUST prevail!

The reason I'm starting this Petition is to have my name cleared from a case file on me through DCYF agency. In Rhode Island That existed 19 years ago. I was never charged with any crime on this matter. This file is preventing me from having my grand daughter in my custody.

The disfunction in Congress is no longer tolerable!!!! It's time to make a serious change in the status quo!!!!! Let's show our employees in Congress that we are their boss by saying in one loud and clear voice, "You're Fired with Cause!!"

To save the United States.

Social Security has been the single-greatest anti-poverty program in our nation's history. However, the program is in danger of disappearing due to insolvency. So many of our seniors are struggling just to survive. After decades of hard work, they live on budgets that should make us, a country with so much, ashamed. Eliminating the cap on Social Security tax is a common-sense and relatively painless way to benefit us all. -- www.facebook.com/kickingassforthemiddleclass
