DESPICABLE BEHAVIOR!

This petition is to emphasize the childish nature of our politics and what they have become. For those who don't know, this is 2013 and still, we are forced to sit back and let Politicians make FALSE statements and LIE about each other. During political season (every 4 years) millions are manipulated into voting or not voting for candidates based on lies and deceit. Instead of letting this go on, I feel that we need to design a set of guidelines enforcing rules against smear campaigns and lying in Politics.

Currently the law in New Mexico for sexual consent reflects the ages of 13/16.

During World War II, President Franklin Roosevelt instituted Daylight Saving Time, called "War" Time. We no longer need "Victory Gardens" to support our current invasions. Messing with time creates problems and is unnecessary. We need to stop this archaic practice!

CA elderly and disabled on low fixed Social Security income unable to supplement by work are decimated by Governor Swartzeneggar's many cuts to avoid any tax to wealthy & corporations. Medi-Cal refused by doctors, and lost dental coverage poisons abscessed unable to pay. Renter's Rebate stopped with promise to pay but never was. Qualified are refused many programs short of funds like HEAP & HA section 8.

There are many people in Arkansas that cannot get a driver's license or apply for Social Security benefits because they have no proof of citizenship. Many have joined the military and have served our country honorably yet cannot enjoy the same protections under the law.

It's dangerous to allow only a few multi-media-mega-conglomerates to control all avenues deciding what information we receive. There used to be laws greatly limiting the number of media companies a corporation could own in order to protect democracy. Many years of Republican Congress eliminated these limitations. Now, only 5 (like Fox & Disney) feed us right-wing propaganda while calling it, "the liberal media".

A software monopoly is extremely dangerous in a world controlled by computers (government, military, voting, business, personal records). Stifling competition reduces innovation, job creation, price lowering, all hurting the economy. They're so powerful that, for more than a decade, the US and UK have failed to break them up or fine enough to affect them. They're rude, retaliatory, and capricious in business practices.

Fracking is a harmful practice with long-term problems. Drilling for more oil and natural gas does not change our dependence on fossil fuels. Mankind is changing the climate and now is a time to stop the damage by saying no to fracking.

La chatarra electrónica o basura tecnológica es todo el conjunto de residuos considerados peligrosos, provenientes de computadoras, teléfonos celulares, televisores y electrodomésticos en general que han sido consumidos o descartados.

test background

Last year, Connecticut became the first state in the country to give workers earned paid sick time off, so they didn't have to choose between their health and their job. But now, corporate interests and big business lobbyists are trying to take away the days workers have earned to go to the doctor, or take care of a sick family member. Masquerading as 'technical fixes' to the paid sick days law, a bill in the General Assembly would actually exclude more workers from the paid sick days law, allow companies to skirt the law by temporarily reducing their staff, and make workers use more time off than they need, forcing them to use up their earned time. We should not allow our historic paid sick days law to be eroded. Tell your state representatives to oppose SB 1107!
