Save public employee pensionsGovernor Corbett aided by Representative Chris Ross (R-Chester County) have decide to create a false emergency in which they want to move current PA employees from a safe pension system to a risky 401k retirement plan that will cost taxpayers more money than the current pension plan. Many other states have tried this and decided to return to a pension system because it was too costly to the taxpayers. I have been a teacher for 18 years and have paid 7.5 % of my salary into my pension. If this bill is passed public employees could lose as much as $17,000 a year when they retire. Meanwhile PA lawmakers can retire with almost full pensions, some as much as $69,000 per year up to $89,000 per year. PA lawmakers also recently voted to increase their pensions by $6,000 a year per member. Please support me and other public employees in telling the governor this plan is too costly, risky,morally unethical, and unlawful according to the PA constitution. In my many emails, phone calls, and letters to Chris Ross he assured me changing the pension was unlawful according to PA's constitution. Now he is cosponsoring a bill that actually does this184 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Ed Campbell

Brian Maienschein: Support a ban on Fracking in CaliforniaWe know that fracking will waste millions of gallons of drinking water and inject millions of gallons of chemicals into California's lands and waterways. Our lands generate billions of dollars in revenue through agriculture. Our water supply is diminishing. We must protect California's water and food supplies.221 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Don Cherf

Don't let Halliburton write the fracking rules for North CarolinaA rule that would require fracking companies to disclose the chemicals they use in the process was set to be approved by the North Carolina Mining and Energy Commission. But after oil and gas giant Halliburton weighed in, the vote on the rule was delayed, and the commission is going to rewrite the rule based on Halliburton's feedback. The Mining and Energy Commission is supposed to protect the interests of North Carolinians, not out-of-state oil and gas companies. Tell the commission this is unacceptable.4,053 of 5,000 SignaturesCreated by Dave Rogers
