Would you rather vote for a candidate financed by 200 dollar contributions from individuals or a candidate financed by corporations? Voucher Vendetta would be a website where citizens could register that they will only vote for candidates that finance their campaigns with contributions from individuals in the amount of 200 dollars or less. It will keep track of the percentage of voters registered on the national level, for each state and each congressional district. This way everyone can see how many people are participating. It can be successful with only 20% of citizens participating nationally. With 20% national participation there would be some states below 20% and some above. In a state at 25-30% there would be some districts below and some above at 35 or even 40% of citizens registered. Not only will third parties and independent candidates be able to target these districts, but "hundred dollar" candidates will be able to mount primary challenges to the corporate financed current major party candidates. It will also destroy the gerrymandered districts that protect incumbents because a current major party candidate could mount a successful campaign by becoming a "hundred dollar" candidate in district that is considered safe for the other current major party. Laws that limit contributions will not succeed because they will be written by those benefiting from the current system. The only way to stop the large contributions is to make them worthless. It won't matter how much money the corporations contribute if this money will no longer buy enough votes to win an election.

Genetically Modified Organisms (most of our corn, soybeans and cotton) are being grown and consumed in Mississippi and they have never been properly, independently tested. The first independent testing being done in Europe shows reasons to be concerned. We should not be unknowing guinea pigs in this mass experiment. We should have the right to know if the food we buy has GMOs in it.

Connecticut just became the first state in the country with a GMO labeling law on the books. But given the growing evidence about the dangers of GMO, it shouldn't be the only one. (See reference items 1 & 2 below.) 1. "Connecticut Approves Labeling Genetically Modified Foods," The New York Times, June 3, 2013 http://www.moveon.org/r?r=291399&id=71155-25726639-X0vMsux&t=4 2.

The destruction of my neighborhood

Due to the complete lack of long term studies and the lack of third party studies determining the safety of these products, the people of Utah should have the choice of whether or not they eat these foods. Labeling these products will not alter their costs or the costs of the alternatives and we the people should be able to choose between them.

Employees should be allowed to designate a beneficiary for their Social Security earnings that are deducted from their wages. The money that was earned during their employment and deducted from their wages should be given to a beneficiary upon their death. If there is no beneficiary, then the money should be left in the Social Security Funds.

This petition has two parts. Part one is to ban geothermal hydraulic fracturng (fracking) in Hawaii. Geothermal fracking creates earthquakes and threatens to contaminate our water tables. There is a clear and direct threat that geothermal fracking will be utilized as geothermal drilling is expanded in Hawaii. Part two of this petition is intended to restrict the purchase of Liquified Natural Gas in Hawaii to gas obtained from conventional wells vs wells that use fracking. For further information on Fracking in Hawaii visit http://HawaiiFracking.com

Label GMO products. We have a right to know and reject what we're eating and the right to reject that food from our bodies, kitchens, and dining tables!

This petition is designed to make Tennessee's citizens aware of genetically modified organisms and what they are. Big Food and Big Pharma do not want these labels on food because they would educate people on what they're putting inside their bodies. The facts are that GMO's cause cause cancer!!!! One of the most common concerns about the prevalence of GMOs (genetically modified organisms) in North America is whether they are safe for our children and families to be eating. Are my kids eating genetically engineered food? The sad truth is many of the foods that are most popular with children contain GMOs. Cereals, snack bars, snack boxes, cookies, processed lunch meats, and crackers all contain large amounts of high risk food ingredients. In North America, over 80% of our food contains GMOs. If you are not buying foods that are Non-GMO Project Verified, most likely GMOs are present at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. What if I only buy organic? Shopping organic is a great step towards ensuring that your family eats the healthiest foods possible. The challenge is that although GMOs are an excluded method under the National Organic Program, organic certification does not require GMO testing. Choosing products that are Certified Organic AND Non-GMO Project Verified is the best way to make sure you are getting the safest, healthiest, highest-quality food for your family. What are the most common GMOs? The most common GMOs are soy, cotton, canola, corn, sugar beets, Hawaiian papaya, alfalfa, and squash (zucchini and yellow). Many of these items appear as added ingredients in a large amount of the foods we eat. For instance, your family may not eat tofu or drink soy milk, but soy is most likely present in a large percentage of the foods in your pantry. GMOs may be hidden in common processed food ingredients such as: Amino Acids, Aspartame, Ascorbic Acid, Sodium Ascorbate, Vitamin C, Citric Acid, Sodium Citrate, Flavorings (“natural” and “artificial”), High Fructose Corn Syrup, Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein, Lactic Acid, Maltodextrins, Molasses, Monosodium Glutamate, Sucrose, Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP), Xanthan Gum, Vitamins, Yeast Products. I am overwhelmed by the prospect of changing our diet, where should I begin? Take a step by step approach. For instance, many parents find it is useful to begin with looking at what their family is eating for breakfast. There are many resources available to help you find non-GMO choices. Use the product search online to find verified products and brands. Social media can also be a great tool to find out about newly verified products and other people working to keep GMOs out of their home. Follow us on Twitter and Facebook to connect with others who are committed to eating non-GMO.

Citizens of our state have been bombarded by toxic chemicals in our homes and in our environments and on roadways. I hate the thought that I am also being poisoned in the food I buy.

People have the right to know what they are consuming. We have the right to make informed choices.

GMO's have long been around; however, it seems our state does NOT want to ALLOW GMO LABELING on foods and products! Join me by signing this petition to MAKE LOUISIANA LABEL ALL PRODUCTS CONTAINING GMO'S!!! This will be sent to the entire Louisiana House, the entire Louisiana Senate as well as Governor Jindal!
