Washington State senators help join other senators in the other states in addressing a solution to military sexual assault within our own ranks, by suggesting legislation to strip military commanders of their power to overturn legal decisions or lessen sentences handed down by judges and juries at courts martial.

People are clear cutting property and leaving behind downed trees,piles of limbs and unwanted wood. Leaving behind eyesores and causing land prices to drop in the area near the cut.Some land owners don`t live near the area thats been cut so they don`t care about the way it affects others.

As a former Ombudsman for Miami-Dade and Monroe Counties and as a physician involved in long-term care, I am deeply concerned about legislation that is in committee in the State House to further weaken Nursing Home residents and their families rights to be adequately compensated for injuries caused by neglect by limiting corporate accountability.

Auger's Resort has exceeded their building density and are asking for a zoning change to allow more RV trailers and cabins on their site. The lake association believes that this would negatively impact the lake's quality, and we are opposing the expansion.

Jobs for Rockford Illinois! Please make jobs your number 1 priority!!! People are hurting too bad to be able to take anymore cuts!!!

PLEASE SIGN Petition Against Privatization and contact members of the MS State Legislature by calling the switchboard for both chambers at 1-601-359-3770. House receptionist 1-601-359-3376 or Senate receptionist 1-601-359-3267. Privatization hurts Mississippi workers and their families with loss of tax revenue, jobs and benefits, while costs and efficiency of services is not necessarily improved. Join with the Mississippi State Employees Union, MASE/CWA, as we fight against Privatization. We have tried this before and it does not work for Mississippi! Major companies such as Maximus and Lockheed Martin, that provide welfare services, are under review in several states for cost overruns and management practices according to the report, "Prospecting Among the Poor: Welfare Privatization" by the Applied Research Center of CA.

To continue to create healthier, safer air to breathe it seems like a Basic plan to cut down the amount of Cigarette smokers. To Triple the taxes/cost or even Quadruple the taxes/cost of cigarettes would definitely encourage young people to think twice before purchasing cigarettes. As a long ago reformed smoker I realize how precious each and every breath is. Both my daughters took an active part in Cancer Prevention projects and one of them was employed by the American Cancer Society for over 4 years fighting for Cancer Education and Prevention. A more prohibitive taxing/pricing in cigarettes would also possibly decrease the number of packs consumed by those whom still smoke. We need to take an even stronger stand for cleaner air for us and future generations to breathe. The "extra" monies garnered by increased cigarette taxes/prices could be added to current Health Care Insurers to lower the cost of Health Care in America and also strengthen our Education in schools to Stop children from seeing smoking as a "cool", adult (?) activity.

There has been an invasion of privacy, spying on and retaliatory actions against whistle blowers who have exposed the wrongdoings of the Federal Government and law enforcement officials. The right to privacy laws have been invaded and thousands of innocent and unsuspecting Americans are victimized daily by these vindictive acts. Please conduct an investigation of these unjust actions.

Our state recently received a failing grade for legislative transparency on the web. In addition, our public records law is broken. Journalists, concerned citizens, and others with a need – and right – to know how our government is working often can’t get the information they need. That’s just unacceptable, especially in a state like ours. This petition calls on the Legislature to make much needed changes so that Massachusetts leads rather than lags behind the nation in having accessible, searchable, and usable information about our government online.

The country will be devastated with these cuts. Except for the wealthy.

This petition is because the Acting Governor is trying to destroy us in Louisiana. He is not accepting any help from our President, like Obama care, plus the new laws he is creating is harming the community because he is locking up people for foolish crimes and the serious crimes are getting away with murder.
