• Representatives: Pay attention to Constituents
    The gridlock in both the House and Senate seems to be controlled by Deep Pockets, not the majority opinion of the representative's constituency. I don't want to wait until November for a change...besides, I approve of how my representatives are voting. I want the gridlock to stop now and the representatives to follow the will of the people who have elected them in good faith.

  • Stop House Bill 3518! Don't let the State shut down Poker Clubs
    This bill would close down legitimate small local businesses that help employ people and pump money into the local economy. There are other issues more pressing. Cut unemployment and foster local business! Doing the opposite is what House Bill 3518 would do.

  • The White House should pay its interns.
    Where can an adult work 50 hours a week for no pay in 2013? The White House Intern program. According to the White House website, intern duties "include conducting research, managing incoming inquiries, attending meetings, writing memos, and staffing events." That is real work, Mr. President. It's not equivalent to a semester in college. The White House internship program puts many on a fast track to leadership, but is only open to the children of the wealthy. No one can work 45 hours a week and then make enough to pay the high rents in D.C. It's nothing to be proud of. We can do better. A federal court ruled correctly that interns for the film "Black Swan" should have been paid. We ask the White House to lead by example and pay all its employees.

  • Gas Stations: Provide Recycling Containers
    Whenever I go to the gas station to fill up my tank, I use the opportunity to empty out the garbage in my car. However, it's not always garbage. A lot of times it's items that could be recycled: aluminum cans, plastic soda bottles, paper, etc. If all gas stations provided receptacles for recycling, we could go a long way in keeping our earth green!

  • Prevent hiring discrimination against the LGBTQ community in Georgia
    Currently on Georgia's Secretary of State website it states "Sexual Orientation: There is currently no Federal or Georgia law prohibiting discrimination against employees based on their sexual orientation." (http://sos.georgia.gov/firststop/georgia_employers.htm) In order to ensure Georgia continues in its history of civil rights advancements and not fall behind the sweeping national movement to support and protect marriage equality, we must amend the portions of our legal code which prevent us from moving forward. Homophobia and discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is no different than racism. Just as the people of Georgia fought (and continue to fight) to eliminate racially discriminatory laws, we must continue to defend against discrimination against all groups, and this absolutely must include the LGBTQIA community. Simply put, we must not allow the legal abidance of discrimination.

  • Living Wage
    My petition is for a living wage. The current minimum wage of $7.25 nationally is not enough for people to live on. San Francisco made their wage $10.25. Even though that is good, many say that is even low since the price of housing is tremendous there. I have two jobs that pay $9.25 and $9.77 respectively and am barely making it myself. Also, each person in this country should at least receive enough money and resources to stay in a home, buy food and pay utilities. Although there are services in place, quite often it is not enough.
