We may soon achieve immigration reform that is long overdue. The bill Congress is seeking to pass would bring millions who call the US 'home' out of the shadows and fully into society. However, for 1,100 people who are continuing to be deported every day, the bill will come too late. My husband Roger is one of those people. One day in February we were driving to the store when a state policeman pulled us over. He claimed he had a warrant related to the car we were driving, the car that I own. Instead of letting us go, they asked for our identification and told me that they'd be taking my husband to immigration. After three months in detention, my husband was deported back to Honduras, the country he escaped for his own safety. Roger was a loving step-father for my son and a dedicated partner with me. Now we are separated because of a trip to the store for toothpaste and my family is torn apart. We had high hopes that immigration reform could help with his status and keep us together but now we don't know what to do. I don't want what my family is going through to happen to anyone else. Why is the President still deporting people who even some Republicans in Congress say belong here, with us, with their families? It doesn't make sense and it should stop immediately so that those who qualify for reform are still here when and if it passes. - Carmen Yvette Martinez

By citizens' initiative Arizona should establish an Oregon-type vote-by-mail system.

The US, State and County governments cannot afford to support them financially.

Identity theft of social security numbers is growing by leaps and bounds. I now have to prove I'm "me" because someone chose to use my social security number to file taxes with the IRS. We're told never to carry our social security cards in our wallets to protect against theft, while always having to carry our Medicare cards for proof of health insurance. Stop using social security numbers for Medicare ID numbers.

Close the Prison in Guantanamo. It is contrary to the legal values of our country and puts American Prisoners of War at risk.

At present all corporate charters are state charters. Example the Disney corporation is chartered in the state of Delaware. I am doubtful that disney has even 20 people living or working in the state of Delaware. however, they have tens of thousands in California and Florida. All multi-state and multi-national corporations should be required to have federal charters. Thereby regulation and oversite will be much easyer to administer.

My family and others live on Max Hampton Street and we are concerned about those who choose to speed down this narrow street at different times of the day. Moreover, we would like speed bumps installed to slow down these vehicles while adding safety.

This petition will have longer hours of running trains. This is an issue because we pay more than the citizens of new york whom trains run all day and night. We need less drunk driving accidents and more freedoms to get around. Not only I but many others agree that if the cost of train fare raise we also want more out of the system.
