Housing for disabled Americans is horrendous.58 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Karen Ehrhart- Pereira

Gun ControlTo resolve the gun problem, my answer is to repeal the 2nd amendment. It is not being enforced as was it's intention -- "militia". Also it was written 200 years ago when a rifle fired ONE bullet and took several minutes to reload. I believe guns only belong in the hands of law enforcement and the military. As far as hunting, I don't see how killing a helpless deer is a sport!4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Judith Rosen

BLM: Take Better Care of Captive Wild Herds – Stop Warehousing ThemSeveral diseases are now rampant in Bureau of Land Management (BLM) wild horse holding facilities due to poor husbandry and overcrowding. Currently, none of the diseases is life threatening, but all of the diseases make the horses uncomfortable and can permanently disfigure the horses (papilloma virus creates bloody warts all over their faces), making their chances for adoption nil, and making them vulnerable to being sent to slaughter. In addition, the horses' hooves are not being trimmed. Some are in danger of being permanently lame from lack of trimming for over one year. Clearly space is currently limited, and conditions are untenable for removing any more animals from the range and placing them in the BLM wild horse warehouse system. For more information on the plight of our wild horses and burros and to support efforts to save them, go to http://wildhorseeducation.org1,489 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Marta Williams, Vice President, Wild Horse Education

Install an ATM outside Town Offices in HarpswellMy business will benefit from a centrally located ATM. The Economic Development Plan recommends installing an ATM at the Town Office as a way to support the local economy. Seasonal visitors don't realize there are no ATM's in town and many small businesses don't take credit cards. When vacationers don't bring cash or checks with them, they drive to Brunswick and many sales are lost.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Gail Kass, Harpswell Business Assoc. Board Member

Sexual assaults in the militaryI have not been personally affected but it shows a great deal of insensitivity towards women to put men in charge of the investigation. It is a great deal more difficult for women to talk to men about these issues then it is to women. Men can not relate to women in the same way a woman can. There is already a mistrust by women towards men due to theses bad experiences and now they are expected to tell MEN all about it. Two men in charge of the investigations have already been charged with sexual harassment at this point. Don't put the fox in charge of the hen house.6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Leda Carrero

Stop Insurance Companies From Practicing MedecineWe all know someone who has been hurt by the decisions being made by insurance companies. When they deny or delay proceedures that physicians are telling their patients this is the only treatment that will help you, and they refuse to pay and make the insured person go through treatments that will not and do not work. It not only hurts the patient it hurts us all. As it turns out the insurance company then has to pay for the treatment prescribed by the doctor after the treatment the insurance company reccomends does not work. So we the people now have to pay higher premiums to cover their mistakes. So the people of the United States need to file a class action suit against the insurance industry for practicing medicine with out a license.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Marty McAdams
