Congress: pass a budget that gives us clean energy and clean food.88% of Americans want global warming reduced - AP poll, Dec 2012 - and 92% of Americans want food labeled - NYTimes poll, July 2013. THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE MUST PREVAIL. This petition demands a FEDERAL BUDGET that requires military spending be cut by $200 BL - less than one third - to be diverted to this initiative, developing a CLIMATE INFRASTRUCTURE, due to the national security risks of our climate change threat, as recognized by military leaders. This would fulfill Lester Brown's PLAN B, as described in his book, Plan B, 4.0, focusing on the restoration of US soil, forests and fisheries, encouraging population stabilization worldwide, adding in the new concern of ocean acidification. This CLIMATE INFRASTRUCTURE would also require the implementation of all 50 of the 100% Renewable Energy blueprints, state by state, starting with the one published in the Energy Policy Journal, in March 2013 for the state of NY, by Jacobson et al. The lead author of this series of blueprints is Stanford environmental engineer, Professor Mark Z. Jacobson. These 50 blueprints are now available at www.theSolutionsProject.org . This CLIMATE INFRASTRUCTURE further requires parallel action legislatively, with the passage of climate bills S329 and S332, putting a price on carbon and eliminating subsidies to Fossil Fuel, making the market fair to accelerate renewables into the market to reach 80% renewable energy by 2030, and headed towards 100% by 2050. This CLIMATE INFRASTRUCTURE would also require the passage of an updated Farm Bill, ensuring America is headed to being a 100% organic agricultural nation by 2050, making our food sources humanely and locally grown, with biodiversity, and to appropriate scale. This ensures our agricultural soil is nutritionally sound, and can reabsorb atmospheric carbon, currently at an atmospheric carbon level of 400 parts per million, drawing that level down to 350 parts per million, as determined necessary by climate and earth scientists globally, to stabilize planet Earth, making it habitable long-term, for all living forms. This CLIMATE INFRASTRUCTURE, to be reflected in our FEDERAL BUDGET, would determine for we Americans, the necessary balance of human activity with the natural world, for a sustainable and healthy future, showing global leadership, on this increasingly dangerous and growing threat to our long-term well-being.54 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Priscilla Rich

YES widen sidewalks on Potrero Avenue!San Francisco citizens have taken part in years of planning for how to improve safety for all street users as our city grows. Wider sidewalks and bulbouts make walking more pleasant and crossing the street safer, especially for seniors and people with disabilities. Preservation of city-subsidized free parking shouldn't take precedence over pedestrian safety and a more walkable city. Details of plans for a better Potrero Avenue available at http://sfdpw.org/index.aspx?page=1673.135 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Sasha Vodnik

Rep. Bachus: Please Cosponsor the New House Immigration BillHouse Democrats have broken Speaker John Boehner's deadlock and introduced an immigration bill with a pathway to citizenship for the 11 million without papers. So far, over 180 House Democrats have signed on as cosponsors! But in order to get this bill past the finish line, we're going to need Republican support. The good news is that it's there. Your district's representative in the House, Congressman Spencer Bachus, is one of the 29 House Republicans who support immigration reform with a path to citizenship. His support for this new bill could be the tipping point for our movement. If he becomes a part of the growing group of Republicans who have already cosponsored this bill, we know more of his colleagues in his party will build up the courage to follow. We know Rep. Bachus is ready to listen to you and our movement, saying last summer that “because I don’t think we ought to have two classes of long-term residents, I support a pathway to citizenship.” But it’s just not enough. We already have a good bill waiting in the House, and we just need to get Rep. Bachus to stand by his words and come to our side. He needs to join the more than 180 House members and cosponsor this new immigration bill! We need you and other advocates in your district to pressure Rep. Bachus into supporting this bill. If we get Rep. Bachus on board, your district could make all the difference for the millions without papers across the nation. The momentum is on our side because enough votes exist in the House to pass reform today. But instead Speaker Boehner hides behind excuses, delays, and flat-out refuses to give us a vote. We've come too far to stop now. Tell Rep. Bachus to stand up for his district by cosponsoring this new immigration bill in the House and passing the path to citizenship for the 11 million!160 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Matt Hildreth

Rep. Labrador: Please Cosponsor the New House Immigration BillHouse Democrats have broken Speaker John Boehner's deadlock and introduced an immigration bill with a pathway to citizenship for the 11 million without papers. So far, over 180 House Democrats have signed on as cosponsors! But in order to get this bill past the finish line, we're going to need Republican support. The good news is that it's there. Your district's representative in the House, Congressman Raul Labrador, is one of the 29 House Republicans who support immigration reform with a path to citizenship. His support for this new bill could be the tipping point for our movement. If he becomes a part of the growing group of Republicans who have already cosponsored this bill, we know more of his colleagues in his party will build up the courage to follow. We know Rep. Labrador is ready to listen to you and our movement. In fact, Rep. Labrador recently said he thinks undocumented immigrants should be able to "become legalized in some way and that status could lead in someway to legal residency and citizenship eventually but just the same as everybody else.” But it’s just not enough. We already have a good bill waiting in the House, and we just need to get Rep. Labrador to stand by his words and come to our side. He needs to join the more than 180 House members and cosponsor this new immigration bill! We need you and other advocates in your district to pressure Rep. Labrador into supporting this bill.

Stop elimanation of boat size regs at Kaanapali and HonoluaMost of the boats currently operating from Kaanapali take their passengers to Honolua Bay. The removal of these restrictions could increase the number of daily visitors to the bay to over a 1000. This fragile bay is already at risk and these increases will absolutly cause further damage.12 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Stop elimanation of boat size regs at Kaanapali and Honolua

Rep. Southerland: Please Cosponsor the New House Immigration BillHouse Democrats have broken Speaker John Boehner's deadlock and introduced an immigration bill with a pathway to citizenship for the 11 million without papers. So far, over 180 House Democrats have signed on as cosponsors! But in order to get this bill past the finish line, we're going to need Republican support. The good news is that it's there. Your district's representative in the House, Congressman Steve Southerland, is a part of the group of House Republicans who have shown some support for immigration reform.

If he becomes a part of the growing group of Republicans who have already cosponsored this bill, we know more of his colleagues in his party will build up the courage to follow. We know Rep. Southerland is ready to listen to you and our movement. After talking to a DREAMer, Rep. Southerland said that his situation was "unique," and that "we must also honor immigration present and future." But, that's simply not enough. We need Rep. Southerland to understand that one DREAMer is not unique—there are 11 million aspiring Americans who are counting on him to stand by his words. We already have a good bill waiting in the House, and we just need to get Rep. Southerland to show his support by coming to our side. He needs to join the more than 180 House members and cosponsor this new immigration bill! We need you and other advocates in your district to pressure Rep. Southerland into supporting this bill.

Vote of No Confidence in Congressman Steve SoutherlandThis action reflects the dissatisfaction of many residents in Florida's 2nd congressional district because of the poor leadership shown by their U.S. Representative, Steve Southerland and his negative disposition towards Congress passing a comprehensive immigration reform bill; supporting the Affordable Care Act; and negotiations that recently led to the Federal Government reopening after it was shut down and America's national debt ceiling being raised.101 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Northwest Florida CLC, AFL CIO
