It is important that women all across the great (geographically large) state of Texas have fair access to health care, as determined by their doctor and their own personal preference. It is not fair to restrict clinics and providers when the majority of cases require immediate and local solutions to issues that are difficult enough for women to decide. Politicians should not be involved in reproductive decisions and attempts of Texas Republicans to restrict access to health care to the large majority of Texas women is wrong and improper. Please stand with us in keeping medical decisions between a woman and her doctor.

One of the ways we voters have been kept in a democracy of limited effectiveness, is by keeping us blind to the true amount of public support towards any given issue. The first thing we need to do is find a way to remove the blindfold and make our government representatives and agencies face a public that can see issues in which the public vision is widely shared and when the public’s shared vision is or is not being represented. Polls are not good enough. Accuracy of polls can be questioned for many reasons. We need more than polling. We need a public way of submitting registered issue votes to the government and its agencies. Something that is much better than individuals calling, writing, and even meeting with representatives and public officials.

Right-wing legislatures around the country are turning back the clock on women's rights by restricting access to birth control and necessary medical procedures, including abortion. Rep. Conaway must show where he stands by making it absolutely clear that he will NOT support limits on women's freedoms!

Women have a fundamental right to self-determination when it comes to the healthcare choices they make. Why would anyone want to take that away?

unlimited, often secret spending from billionaires and multinational corporations has been a disaster. If we do not act, money wil continue to inundate our elections and overwhelm the voices of voters. This corrosive system can result in a government for the highest bidder, rather than of, by, and for the people.

WHEREAS the Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement ( hereinafter referred to as TPP) is being negotiated in secret as a “trade agreement” while 24 of the 26 chapters are about new enforceable corporate rights and privileges and restraints on government regulations on drug patent monopolies affecting the price of HIV/AIDS drugs among others, on the offshoring of jobs, on the preservation of natural resources, and on financial services, land use, food safety, energy, tobacco and threats to internet freedom; AND WHEREAS these new rules will be enforced through trade sanctions enforced by corporate –appointed tribunals which will have the power to sue the US government and other governments for compensation for losses caused by enforcement of financial, health, environmental, land use and other laws which they deem to have caused them financial loss; AND WHEREAS after Obama’s election US trade officials were instructed to withdraw from the TPP negotiations launched by President Bush and instead to sort out a new approach to trade which would fix the NAFTA model and prevent the corporate control of international trade of which TPP is an extreme example;

This Petition is about Saving Edward Snowdens' life. It is known that although President Obama has stated that whistleblowers should be protected, actions by the US government have proven otherwise. It is known that Eva Morales airplane was forced to land and searched. It is also known that recently reporter Michael Hastings died in a suspicious car crash. The US government has many high tech weapons developed that could cause the crash of a plane, as well as the technology to remote control aircraft. Americans do not trust their government or "elected" officials or the actions which they have taken.

The City of Arvada plans to give away land valued at over $1.1 million for only $10. In return, the City allowed the developer of a large, rental apartment building to receive an additional $1,000,000+ in tax incentives and other financial benefits. To enable this building, the historic Masonic Lodge will be demolished. The City is violating its own design guidelines for Olde Town, requesting waivers on 30 counts, including: limiting buildings in Olde Town to two stories, incorporating building design that complements the architecture of Olde Town, and minimizing the impact on historic McIlvoy Park.

I teach at City College of San Francisco, the best school I've ever taught at. The ACCJC, the accreditation commission, has fatally and unjustly revoked our college's accreditation (to take effect in July, 2014) for reasons that are politically and ideologically motivated. This outrageous attack on City College of San Francisco - one of the largest and best in the country - is an attack on all public education.

The sale of John Denver's "Windstar foundation" has upset many of John 's susporters including myself. we need "Windstar, to educate on the importantance on the environment. protection and conservation for future generations to come."

Unlimited, often secret spending from billionaires and multinational corporations has hurt this country and our election process. If this continues, this corrosive system can result in a government for the highest bidder, rather than of, by, and for the people.

Right-Wing legislatures around the country are turning back the clock on women's rights by restricting access to birth control and necessary medical procedures, including abortion. Gov. Haley must show where she stands on women's rights by making it clear that she will not infringe on these rights for all women across our great state.
