We can't force Monsanto, ie big corporate agriculture to advertise that they are bad, sooooooo.........let's stage a grass roots movement to force USDA to create a 100% Non-GMO label. Every small/big producer can voluntarily advertise that they are 100% not GMO ! This gives consumers a choice and a way of voting with their pocket books.

Session after session, the Oregon Legislature has made stealthy contributions to business interests. But these giveaways come at a steep price to the Oregon budget, and these subsidies don't always bring the promised benefits. Right now, the Legislature is poised for another giant giveaway - the "Industrial Lands Readiness" program. It's outrageous. SB 246 A will make it the state's responsibility to pay the debt on getting land ready for industrial development. These costs belong to land owners, businesses, developers, and local jurisdictions. Never before have they been the responsibility of the state! Under SB 246 A, the state could pick up 100% of the costs of everything from buying land to building sidewalks. All to benefit big business, while schools and vital services continue to feel the budget squeeze. BlueOregon is partnering with Tax Fairness Oregon to blow the whistle. Sign our petition today to tell legislators: STOP THE BIG BUSINESS GIVEAWAYS.

The Carla Butcher Act would be a careful evalution for deviant sexual patterns. These sexual assessmnet questionnaires are often used to aid in the clinical assessment of sexual history and behavioral patterns. The military, will be able to profile new candidates wanting to enter and serve in our military, and weed out the candidates who have these mental issues with sexual deviancy. These test will stop or greatly reduce rape and sex crimes in the military. The government will be able to save money by keeping morale up, retention rates high and better national security.

Right now, the Senate Judiciary Committee is working on markup of immigration reform legislation -- and the barriers to a path to citizenship in the current bill remain too high. On Tuesday, May 21, faith leaders from across the country will hold a People’s Hearing on Capitol Hill to put a human face on the debate, press for improvements to the bill, and deliver to Senate leaders the names of all who've signed this petition. Faith leaders, DREAMers and other community leaders will share their personal testimonies about the impact of current immigration policy on families and the need for a fair, direct and affordable path to citizenship in the final legislation.

Income tax laws for the widow & widower. Yes, my wife past away and now since all of the children are grown and out of the house I have to fill as a single person. After 19 years,11 months, 11 days I don't fill single. I think this tax Law should be changed so all the widows and widowers can fill as Widows & Widowers.

The Health care crisis in the USA. Hospitals charge master prices. Stop this criminal practice.

Tired of obstruction and delay in Congress? Limiting Representatives and Senators to TWO TERMS motivates those in office to actually "do" something. Added bonus: eliminates the creation of political "dynasties."

A puddle forms and stays and never evaporates due to the street not being built correctly. It will stay for months, days, weeks, years, due to builder/city not doing a correct job. We know the water that stays behind will cause West Nile virus.

If an inmate is caught sexually assaulting, sexually battering, assaulting with intent to commit rape and they are arrested in prison, called an "In House Arrest" most of these cases are heard by the Prison Board/an Administration Hearing and a disciplinary action is handed out to the offender. The offense may be put on their arrest record, however, upon Parole or Probation they are not required to register as a sex offender. Them not registering is a public safety issue that needs to be changed for the safety of our children, the safety of us all.

Sen. Heitkamp will have a major role fixing our broken immigration system. We need Sen. Heitkamp to support a pathway to citizenship for the 11 million immigrants currently living in the United States without papers. Most of these immigrants have lived in this country for more than a decade and have come to America to seek a better life for their families. They are Americans-in-waiting who are ready to fulfill the requirements of our citizenship process - to study English, pay taxes, maintain a good record and be of good moral character. We need humane immigration laws that keep families together and make economic sense.

I want to repeal the William Bradley Amendment and have Congress enact a law that will be fair and stay within the boundaries of the U.S. Constitution. As the existing child support law stands, there is no relief or solution to resolving the financial burden. I believe both parents should be held liable for raising their children not the burden on the one parent. We need to work together to improve family equality not destroy it.
