Supporting these measures will put farmland back into production, give farm and production workers much needed work, and make products made from industrial hemp more available and affordable to all. Many products from paper, fabric, and particle board to plastics, paint, and car parts , as well as many foods and cosmetics can be made here in the USA from industrial hemp. Currently we rely on importing either the raw materials like paper or fabric or finished products from many countries. We can put people to work while saving import duties and taxes.

Cuts to Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid benefits would impact the most vulnerable among us. Let's stand up for seniors, veterans, the disabled, and future generations of Americans, and protect these hard-earned benefits -- instead of continued tax breaks for billionaires and Wall Street. It’s not enough to voice opposition to such cuts. We want Representative Huffman to sign the Grayson-Takano letter, making a firm commitment to vote against any cuts. The letter reads, in part, "We write to let you know that we will vote against any and every cut to Medicare, Medicaid or Social Security benefits." We ask Rep. Huffman to join the 28 members of Congress who have signed the letter: Brown, Cartwright, Castor, Clay, Conyers, D. Davis, DeFazio, Ellison, Faleomavaega, Grayson, G. Green, Grijalva, Gutierrez, A. Hastings, Honda, Kaptur, Lee, Lynch, C. Maloney, Markey, McGovern, Nadler, Napolitano, Nolan, Serrano, Takano, Velazquez, and Waters.

Spending cuts in schools have to stop! Without theses extra-curricular activities, kids loose their creativity in things they might have been good at.

Our economy has reached a very dangerous place, and we need to take action at all levels—from grassroots to Federal Government. The Glass-Steagall Act is the indispensable first step to both United States and global economic recovery! Glass-Steagall will immediately halt the onset of hyperinflation, remove government commitment to toxic debts, bar government bailouts, end Too Big To Fail, and again force the complete separation of commercial banks from investment banks which, 1933 to 1999, protected "we the people" from risky and predatory banking practices. The Glass-Steagall Act must be reinstated immediately so that an orderly reorganization can be started before the collapse of our financial system, and to allow for a transition to regulated banking without dangerous hyperinflation. Legislation to reinstate the Glass-Steagall Act has been introduced in the 113th Congress as House bill HR-129, and needs a concurrent bill in the Senate. That's why I created this petition to The Indiana State House and The Indiana State Senate.

The Koch brothers are the worst of the worst. Oil and gas billionaires, they're known for funding the Tea Party, buying elections, funding anti-science organizations, union busting, dodging taxes, and twisting democracy any way they can to promote their personal agenda. Now, in a stunning move, according to multiple reports, they want to buy the company that owns the Chicago Tribune, Los Angeles Times, and several other big newspapers to further their radical right-wing agenda and move fringe Tea Party ideas into the mainstream. They cannot be allowed to purchase the most respected newspapers in the biggest media markets in the country in order to peddle their discredited ideas and right-wing propaganda. People count on papers like Los Angeles Times and Chicago Tribune for real facts, real issues, and unbiased information. And newspaper endorsements in local and statewide elections carry substantial clout. The Koch brothers cannot be allowed to control these vital sources of information.

Mechanical vehicle failure causing accidents is less than 5%. Too many residents cannot afford keeping their older vehicles on the road when new car standards are applied to them.

Uranium mining is unhealthy to life on this Planet!

80% of supermarket food is GMO; people don't know that they are eating it...and it has already started showing dangerous effects on animals and humans.

Has anyone noticed how many residences are disallowing pets? Older citizens who live alone, and rely on their dogs for companionship and health benefits are being told they may not replace their dogs. After living in the same house for 45 years, with a dog, I've been told I will be evicted if I replace my aging dog when she dies. Now that's plain nasty!
