We need better representation.

Cut Foreign Aid to help balance our budget. Take away the outsiders entitlements not ours.

I think we cannot have a true democracy unless the Senate allows votes based on what the majority of Senators want. The arcane rules of the Senate make it a club for the oligarchy rather than a forum for the will of American citizens.

Arizona residents need work on reforming antiquated methods of collecting revenue related to buying and driving their vehicles. We request that our representatives in state government enact the following: * Eliminate sales tax on purchases / leases of new vehicles - this will encourage people to buy newer, safer, less-polluting, and more efficient vehicles. * Eliminate vehicle registration fees - this system is backwards and nonsensical, as you're currently rewarded for driving an older, more dangerous, more-polluting, and less efficient vehicle. This also means that nobody can ever receive a ticket for having expired tags on their vehicle, which only hurts the poor (and/or disorganized) population, and further burdens our law enforcement and judicial system. This also discourages people from registering their vehicles out of state, which is an all-too-common practice. Finally, this is one less annual bill to pay - with so many people living paycheck to paycheck, this only causes a downward spiral in their personal finances. * Change High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes to High Efficiency Vehicle (HEV) lanes - cars with higher fuel efficiency can use these lanes, tied to the MPGe rating of the vehicle. This determination will adjust each year as vehicles become more efficient. It doesn't seem logical that two people in a 10mpg car can currently use these lanes, while one person in a 40mpg car cannot. * Allow the sale of vehicles through retail outlets such as shopping malls, either direct to manufacturer or direct to dealer. More cars will be sold if a manufacturer or dealer were in a location such as a shopping mall where tens of thousands of people pass by, and this opens up former dealership land for the development of high density residential, retail, and commercial space. * Prohibit the current system of estimating insurance costs by ZIP code... this is unfair, as you could reside in a safe ZIP code and pay lower insurance but work in a ZIP code known to have more accidents... and you could reside in a ZIP code known to have more accidents and pay higher insurance even though you drive less, walk/bike to work, use public transit, or even work from home. This is unfair and discriminatory. * How do we pay for these changes? Shift the collection of vehicle registration fees and sales taxes to the gasoline tax. This will guarantee that everyone is paying their fare share of infrastructure construction and maintenance. Many Arizona drivers do not have their vehicles registered or game the system by registering their vehicles in states without registration fees, putting more burden on the rest of us who are law-abiding citizens. Anyone from out of state who is driving in Arizona, and anyone who is just visiting Arizona or passing through Arizona will no longer have free use of our highways and roadways. Everyone driving will finally pay their fare share for every mile driven, and will be rewarded if those miles driven are in newer, more efficient, safer, cleaner vehicles. All of these measures will have a positive benefit: manufacturers and dealers will sell more vehicles, helping the local and national economy; consumers will have incentives to buy new vehicles at lower prices, reducing their cost per mile to drive; Arizona residents will be financially rewarded for driving safer, more efficient vehicles; out-of-state drivers will finally paying their fare share when driving on Arizona roads. This is only fair... this makes sense... and everyone benefits. Please sign this petition, and please share it with everyone you know!

Gun violence kills hundreds of Oregonians every year. Soon the Oregon State Senate will vote on four bills to reduce gun violence. • Senate Bill 700: Universal Background Checks • Senate Bill 347: Lets school districts limit guns in K-12 schools. • Senate Bill 699: No openly carried guns in public buildings • Senate Bill 796: Better training for Concealed Handgun Licenses Tell your State Senator to vote for common-sense reform.

Polls show that 91 percent of consumers don’t want the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to allow genetically engineered fish and meat into the marketplace -- yet the FDA is close to approving a salmon that was genetically engineered to grow faster. If allowed, this would be the first genetically engineered animal in the U.S. food supply, and the FDA said it will probably NOT BE LABELED, leaving consumers in the dark about what we are eating. At least 35 species of genetically engineered fish are in development and the approval of genetically engineered salmon will set a precedent that could open the floodgates for other genetically engineered animals (including cows, chickens and pigs) to enter our food system. To ensure the consumer’s right to know what they are eating, Friends of the Earth is asking grocery stores, seafood restaurants, chefs and seafood companies to demonstrate their commitment to sustainably produced seafood and consumer choice by joining our Pledge for GE-Free Seafood, a commitment to not knowingly purchase or sell genetically engineered salmon or other genetically engineered seafood should it come to market. Nearly a dozen major food retailers with thousands of stores nationwide have already taken the Pledge for GE-Free Seafood or otherwise committed to not purchase or sell genetically engineered salmon, or any products containing genetically engineered seafood. But we need more to take the pledge. Help us pressure food companies to keep genetically engineered seafood off their shelves and off our plates. Take action now!

As the engineering of seeds (either through genetic modification or cross-breading) has become bigger and bigger business, consumers have no way of knowing where the seeds for the produce they eat originate from. This buffers companies like Monsanto, which has elicited public criticism for questionable and aggressive business practices, from public boycotts. It also increases the momentum towards fewer seed varietals and subspecies being available for consumption. For instance, we used to have 307 different varieties of sweet corn available for commercial distribution in 1903. Today we have only 12. (Source: Rural Advancement Foundation International). We, the public, should have access to information on the origins of our food. Let's require grocery stores to label the source of the seeds for their produce as well as the location it was grown.

PA students can't afford larger class sizes, fewer supports. Districts all across the Commonwealth are grappling with layoffs, program cuts, and fewer resources. Students are watching, and waiting for us to do our part.

The city of Decatur, County of Wise need a recreational center to go to. A place for our children to be safe and play and hang out where they are off the streets. A place to encourage fitness and activity.

While Social Security is not currently in trouble, in several years it could become so. I believe it is necessary to make some changes that will secure the system for many years to come. I have seen suggestions that merely raise the Cap which would be a good solution, but I think we can make it even better by lowering the overall rate AND raising the cap thereby increasing the solvency of the program for a much longer time as well as increasing a benefit to the economy.
