This petition is about gun control in the state of Illinois. We have a non-logic organization known as the NRA that does nothing for its members and the citizens in IL and wants to pass a concealed carry law in IL with no restrictions attached. No, we will not tolerate this rediculious behavior from the NRA. We need to block this concealed carry law in IL until our state can come up with the concealed carry bill that includes a Universal background check for everyone who buys a gun in IL, an Assault Weapons Ban that bans any Military Assault Rife along with a ban on purchases on bullet magazines limiting purchases to ten bullet purchases only, a mental health background check included, so that people with criminal records, violent behavioral problems, or mental behavioral problems from buying guns. We also need to not allow guns in IL to be sold at Gun shows in IL. We also need restrictions on where people can bring guns with a concealed carry permit like not being able to bring a gun into School Zones, Malls and Shopping Centers, Trains, Buses, Parks, and other public places.

We have a serious pension issue in the state of IL and it is that we have a 96 trillion dollar deficit and our beloved governor of IL wants to consider cutting money out of half of the pension system instead of telling our IL Congress to find a way to fix the pensions problem. I have a relatives and friends who work for school districts and government employers in this state and i do not want their pensions cut out out.

My petition is about the Chained CPI increase in IL and other 49 states in the United States. We have a lot people who are on Social Security Benefits and they need a raise in the Chained CPI, so that they can live a better life and be able to afford their finances and take care of their families. The increase in the Chained CPI is worth it and it is not a waist of money to our taxpayers.

My intention of this petition is make our IL Governor, our state senators, State House members, and US house and senate members to pass a minimum wage increase of $10.15 per hour for the 50 states and a minimum wage increase of $11.15 per hour for the state of IL, because we need higher wages to work with and we need the minimum wage to include the cost of poverty with it. It will help our citizens in IL and other other 49 states and be able to live easier and better.

My petition is about expanding Medicare in Illinois from what it is now to Single Payer Healthcare. I think and believe that this state would benefit from single payer healthcare and help with some of the issues with Medicare and Social Security. It would make it where everyone in this state would be able to get Medicare for All. It would save the taxpayers of IL money and we would get better health care.

Making sure students vote in the Mayoral race.

Marijuana should be legal because its a natural plant and can be used for medical reasons such as treating a patient from (ADD) and also even cancer in some cases.

Congressional Salaries

These brave people who videotape and expose the abuse of animals, like cows too sick to walk to their slaughter, so they are forklifted, and veal calves (babies) skinned alive and then thrown, still living, still breathing, still suffering, into a pile to slowly die - are having their FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS TO FREE SPEECH VIOLATED by laws by big business that want to curtail their ability to document these atrocities. If these companies are going to abuse these sick animals, skin them alive and torture them, treat them worse than being in a Nazi Death Camp - and expect us to EAT the meat thereafter, then people should be allowed to show the truth of what they are doing. How DARE big business come in and place severe limitations on exposes and their reporters' ability to showcase these horrors!

A bill is about to pass allowing sick, diseased, and abused horses to be sold on a block as "meat". They will then be taken (malnourished, beaten, and miserable - most so sick they can barely walk) - not to be cared for and rehabilitated for a life that has been unjust and cruel to these elegant creatures, but instead, they will be led or often forklifted (when they're too sick to stand) to their place in line for slaughter. Horsemeat is already showing up in US Meatballs (prepackaged). Would YOU eat a horse? Would you like to see horses sold for slaughter - killed here, chopped and grinded up for parts/meat, then shipped overseas while rotting in some cheap refrigerator? Isn't it time we stepped UP to help animals? Is there going to be a dog-meat factory next (horse meat is legal in London, and dog meat is legal in Korea, so why not? where does it stop?). IT STOPS HERE. HELP STOP THE MADNESS HERE!

I see restaurants and stores throw away food all the time. I heard about a boy starting a petition to end this before in another state. All the shelters or food banks have to do in order to receive the leftover food is sign off on suing if a person gets sick from the food. Please sign this and show that you care about people and are tired of this waste!
