Fracking in California.

Under Article III, Section 3, of the Constitution, any person who levies war against the United States or adheres to its enemies by giving them Aid and Comfort has committed treason within the meaning of the Constitution. The term aid and comfort refers to any act that manifests a betrayal of allegiance to the United States. If a subversive act has any tendency to weaken the power of the United States to attack or resist its enemies, aid and comfort has been given. So ask yourself, "is holding a trillion + dollars in offshore tax havens something that weakens the power of the United States in this time of war?". If your answer is yes, then you also believe that offshore tax evasion is treason. Sign this petition to let President Obama know that you want off-shore tax evaders criminally prosecuted for treason!

THE PRESIDENT HAS A TERM LIMIT..CONGRESS NEEDS TERM LIMITS TOO. TERM LIMITS WOULD CURTAIL THE EFFECT LOBBYISTS AND BIG BSINESS HAVE ON OUR LIVES. THE NRA IS A PRIME EXAMPLE OF BUYING CONGRESS.

As a Florida Panthers and ice hockey fan, it sickens me that Panthers President Michael Yormark would consider the Redline Lady Panthers to be "entertainment". They are one of the many forms that females are sexually degraded by and for males to make money and are seen as the prime example of what females should really be like and the organization is trying to reinforce a correlation between males only watching sports and females only as objects. If they truly stand for the family friendly entertainment they stated, then they should present the team in that manner.

I am a single mother who raised her two children all alone. They both graduated from University of Florida; each received two degrees with honors. Though both had bright future scholarships, but the living and other expenses such as extracurricular fees at UF became too expensive. They both have a loan that is accumulating because of an interest rate of 6.8%. I was able to refinance my home when I lost my job, but my children are unable to refinance their student loan with lower rates. This isn’t fair; Elizabeth Warren introduced legislation to give students the same deal that we give the banks.

My nephew and all other aviators connected with his mission fly KC 135 Tankers (Boeing 707) which, since 2008, do not include parachutes for the crew. Our aviators and our airmen are at risk of intentionally being sacrificed! How can this be?

North Carolina is enjoying unprecedented growth in Feature Film, TV series and Commercial productions as a direct result of our competitive, easy-to-navigate, profitable and sustainable Film Incentive Program. Thousands of jobs have been created and hundreds of millions of dollars have been spent in North Carolina towns from the Atlantic coast to the mountains in the West. Now, our Program is under DIRECT THREAT as lawmakers consider pulling the Film Incentive under a sweeping "reform" platform that will literally drive a billion dollar industry to neighboring states like Georgia, where a stable program has helped to build a billion-dollar industry. If our Film Incentive Program is allowed to lapse or if it is capped and bogged-down in bureaucracy, productions will simply find friendlier markets (like Atlanta) for their work. The departure will be nearly instantaneous. HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS SPENT ACROSS NORTH CAROLINA... Since the Film Incentive Program started in 2010, nearly $500M has already been driven directly into every corner of North Carolina. These taxable production dollars immediately benefit vendors who supply goods and services to the productions wherever they work throughout the state. Restaurants, hotels, antique shops, catering interests, clothing stores, furniture outlets, car rental agencies, lumber and hardware companies are just a few examples of the established brick-and-mortar businesses that directly benefit from increased business due to the current Film Incentive Program. See annual reports here: http://www.ncfilm.com/incentive-reports.html JOBS... Since 2010, thousands of crew positions have been created, along with many more acting roles. With over 14,000 jobs and positions recorded in 2012, more North Carolinians are at work than ever before in the filmed-entertainment industry. Entertainment jobs are REAL JOBS. As it is in other industries (like construction or the IT Industry), producers, directors, actors, actresses and trades professionals may have more employers in a given year than their neighbors do. And they're working hard - it isn't uncommon for these creative professionals to log more than 2400 cumulative hours in a given year (compared to about 2,000 for an office employee)! Filmed-entertainment employees pay taxes and buy homes and put their kids in local schools. AND... THEY VOTE. The only difference is that they just happen to work around a camera instead of in a cubicle or behind a counter. LURING PERMANENT BUSINESS AND JOBS BY CREATING THE MARKET... Repealing the January 1, 2015 Sunset from our current Film Incentive Program will tell producers, studios and networks that North Carolina is truly (and permanently) open for their business. Once our program is finally stable, North Carolina will see infrastructure improvements (studios, post-production houses, et-cetera) and permanent jobs as companies flock to our state to service the incoming productions. No meaningful investment and infrastructure improvements will come to our State (solid-line business) if the productions (dotted-line business) taking advantage of the Film Incentive Program stop working in North Carolina. That is a cold, hard FACT. DON'T FIX WHAT ISN'T BROKEN... It is very important that North Carolina lawmakers know that the current Film Incentive Program is effective and that THE SPIRIT OF THE EXISTING LEGISLATION (HB 1973; HB 713) MUST NOT BE ALTERED. Adding caps and unnecessary bureaucracy (project oversight, script approvals, et-cetera) would immediately make our popular (yet by most measures, conservative), Film Incentive Program less competitive and would drive business to other markets. In places like Michigan and Florida, unnecessary hurdles and false ceilings repel production business. North Carolina is SMARTER and our message to lawmakers is simple: Film Incentives Put North Carolina To Work - REPEAL THE JANUARY 1, 2015 SUNSET TODAY!!! Friend Us. Tag Yourself in Our Banner.

I live in Washington, DC, not a state, not part of a state. I have no representation in the Senate or House and my vote can be over-ruled by representatives of states with fewer voters than DC. I live in the only country in the world where the citizens of the capital have fewer rights than people outside the capital. Many of us feel like we have been sidelined and have no voice in the current political discourse.

I am apalled to learn how horrible the fur industry really is. Its bad enough that animals are legally trapped, a slow and painful death, because some desire the 'clothes' off their backs. Now, I have learned that the fur industry condones the skinning of LIVE animals! I recently saw a video from PETA, which made me literally ill. Animals kept in cages and brought out, tied to a pole and the skin pulled off of them while they scream with the pain. A gruesome death, for sure. They don't deserve that. How is this allowed? Please tell our leaders to outlaw torturing animals for ANY reason!

Free Trade is not Fair Trade, it sends dollars abroad.

When we complain about the pollution of our Global environment by the fossil-fuel-burning manufacturers, are we willing to examine our contribution to this when we purchase what they produce?!

Having to wait on benefits for Medical Insurance 25 months before insurance is granted for people who are on disability . we should be concerned because many can not afford insurance and can not go to all treatments needed. I am personally affected by this issue . and several other people I know. Pre exising condition insurance very high . some I am sure die . and if we can get treatment sooner some people may be able to go back to work and save a lot of Government money in the long run. waiting to long for the treatments can be very risky to many ! Thank You and God Bless America .
