  • Take Round Up Off the DInner Table
    We have what is called RR1 corn and soy being planted in our fields. For those of you who don't know about these Monsanto patented seeds, they contain the same substance that you see in TV ads with the home owner holding a container of Round Up and "killing" weeds for up to three months. That same substance is in every seed that is purchased from Monsanto by our farmers. I do not want to be ingesting Round Up soy or corn and avoid any product that contains soy or corn on the label . There is RR1 soy in Similac, a baby formula. Do you really want your children, your grandchildren having this poison put in their food. The FDA has no idea what long term lasting health issues may arise from ingesting these foods stuffs day after day, year after year. Congress and the White House for once has got to put the American People above the Monsanto Corporation and Stop the planting of these insidious seeds.

  • Set Term Limits
    We need to stop the corruption in gov't politics. One of the easiest and quickest ways to help deter the corruption is to set term limits of 2 terms for any of the positions. Remember there is a reason the president of the U.S. has only 2 terms. It is to stop total control and corruption.

  • Lift The FICA Cap
    Over 90% of all Americans are unfairly taxed on 100% of their income. The very wealthy often pay 1% or less. FICA caps out at $113,700 annual income. If the wealthy were taxed like the rest of us, Social Security would be solvent.

  • SUPPORT EAST BAY HILLS EIS TO PROMOTE FIRE SAFETY AND SCIENCE-BASED CONSERVATION
    This petition is sponsored by the Claremont Canyon Conservancy. The Conservancy is devoted to the cause of conservation as well as science-based prevention of the wildfires that have recurred in and around the canyon for the last hundred years. The Conservancy invites anyone who wishes to see how fire prevention and management through removal of stands of eucalyptus is consistent with conservation, reduction of greenhouse gases, and restoration of beautiful wildlands to walk the trails built by the Conservancy and UC on the south side of Claremont Canyon (signpost 29), where bay laurel, redwood, the rare western leatherwood, coastal live oak, and other species coexist, many springing up spontaneously after eucalyptus were removed over the past decade. The Conservancy believes that active involvement in the wild lands around which we live enriches all of us and the communities in which we live.

  • Survey to measure knowledge/understanding about employees legal rights in the workplace.
    The United States of America is a nation of people that as a whole understands the socio-economic value in guaranteeing people's rights in the workplace. Many laws and agencies have been established to safeguard these rights. However, I suspect the average working American does not know how to exercise these rights in order to protect themselves from their employers. I believe that we are living challenging economic times where employer abuse (whether it is verbal harassment, wage theft, or illegal discrimination) has become so rampant that it is imperative for individuals to understand what they can do benefit from the laws that protect them. My aim of this petition will be to measure my audience knowledge in this area and identify areas of need in order to make an educate recommendation for legislative changes.

  • Chemtrail/Geo-Engineering
    Have you looked up at the sky lately? "Everyone has seen crisscrossing streaks of white clouds trailing behind jet aircraft, stretching from horizon to horizon, eventually turning the sky into a murky haze". These planes are spraying and filling our air, water and soil with aluminum, barium and strontium. This is causing our global climate to change, farmers crops to die, reduced sun exposure and illness. This must be stopped!
