The air and water quality, as well as their abundance, are being threathened by foreign corporations with multi-national funding who can willfully plunder our State Lands. The return for the public is minor compared to the damage to the environment. The archaic laws underwhich these foreign companies operate with impunity were written in the late 19th century for the purpose of attracting people to the West. The intention was to lure prospectors with pick and shovel, not mega-corporations with land-movers.

The 2012 and 2013 National Defense Authorization Act allows indefinite detention of US citizens without charge for trial. This position is the move on repealing this language from the NDAA and maintaining the Constitution in Illinois.

HELP OPPOSE THE BARRIER BEING CONSIDERED ON WESTWARD IN BETWEEN THE NORTHFIELD ESTATES SECTION OF THE FOF.

This measure will provide health care for every Oregonian.

It's TIME to remove the injustice and massive hypocrisy over the legal consequences of marijuana for both, medical and recreational use in the state of Kentucky! With Kentucky's rich history of marijuana and hemp cultivation, our state should be at the FOREFRONT of the movement to END PROHIBITION! We can no longer afford the massive costs associated with the double standard that allows for the far more destructive use of alcohol while marijuana users are jailed and alienated from society, at unaffordable enforcement costs, rather than regulating and taxing it!

My petition is about not turning our clocks forward and then back again.

I am a Tennessee employee who has sat and watched the Tennessee legislature and state Chamber of Commerce for 3 years bully the average working man in Tennessee. In a state that has already "reformed" Workers' Compensation 3 times since 1994 and has seen premium rates decrease that whole time, yet another law is determined to overhaul workers' comp in Tennessee. Most cases where workers are permanently impaired because of job-related injuries, under the proposed new law, will see reductions in payments by 66% or more. The bill is being touted as creating a more efficient system that will put people back to work quicker and have them receive benefits faster, but no one is talking about these drastic reductions to the worker that has a permanent impairment or who may not ever be able to go to work again. There has to be a way that we can make the system more efficient without cutting the benefits to the injured worked and our legislature has people smart enough to figure it out if we only work a little harder. We should not harm these injured workers even further solely because we are in too big of a hurry and too short sighted to see how they will be devastated by HB 194.

We, as a family, have been directly affected by the change in "Residency Status" and my husband having to pay Utah State Income Tax when there are no jobs for him in Utah. 51 weeks is a long time to have to look and Florida was the State that had a job for him. He is close to retirement and we would like to stay here but may not be able to afford to.

Stop the destruction of public schools & giving our tax $$ to private schools, most of whom are religious run. They skim the "cream"( best students & athletes).and poor kids or w/ special needs are left to the schools that Republicans are destroying.

Huey P Long Medical Center "Charity Hospital" has been servicing our state since 1939. Our people need it to remain open.

I started this petition because I felt it would be helpful to myself and others. Please sign. Legalize Medicinal Marijuana in MARYLAND I just signed a petition to The Maryland State House, The Maryland State Senate, and Governor Martin O'Malley: Legalize the use of medicinal marijuana in Maryland as it is in the District of Columbia! This is needed by many and should be approved.
