There is a bill, LB 543, to end the death penalty in Nebraska. I urge all state senators to vote for this bill.

Repeal this law because: It stops people at high risk from testing. It perpetuates and increases stigma. No empirical data are available regarding the effectiveness of HIV serostatus exposure laws.  - NIH It puts the person with HIV in danger of violence. It was written in 1989 when HIV/AIDS was untreatable. It is used as a weapon against people that are positive. Treatment decreases the possibility of spreading the infection by 97%. It makes everyone with HIV a victim. A person with HIV can be punished when no risk occurred. Reform this law because: HIV is now treatable and is considered a chronic illness. Treatment is available. Treatment decreases the possibility of spreading the infection by 97%. Tuberculosis has punitive actions that only make treatment the mandatory sentence. Since 2008, only 10 people have been convicted of exposure to HIV. Over 4,000 people are not in treatment and reforming this law can play a major role in encouraging people into care.

I found out recently that I can not afford birth control since Govenor Brownback increased the cost of this medication for state employes and their families. Also Brownback has made it so state insurance will not cover any of the cost for a woman to get a Hysterectomies in the state of Kansas. Brownback should not be aloud to push his Catholic views on state employees. Make it known you still believe in religous freedom and sign our petition today. Thanks

This would legalize home distillation or decriminalize small scale home distillation.

Children who attend full-day 4K programs achieve higher test scores in reading and mathemathics. These children are also more likely to graduate high school and commit less crime as adults. All at-risk chidren in South Carolina deserve the opportunity to attend these programs. Bill 3455 supports the funding of such programs.

Disablilty persons have been affected by paying for their own insurance. This money they're being changed could go towards milk, food and clothing for their children.

South Carolina should not punish its poorest citizens by not participating in the Medicaid Expansion as part of the Affordable Care Act commonly referred to as "Obamacare".

The cost of dental care is out of control and is not regulated. Most dental procedures are considered cosmetic when in fact they are not. Treatment costs can be bargained which is unheard of in other medical fields. Person A will be charged $10,000 for a root canal OUT of pocket after insurance. Person B with the same insurance will only pay $600 for the exact same procedure at a different dentist.. There is no regulation on the cost a patient can or should pay. My wife recently underwent oral cancer treatment and the cost was over $25,000 out of pocket. They botched the treatment but there are no laws that protect patients who have a erroneous procedure done by a dentist. There are no regulations that will protect them and no Lawyer will touch a medical malpractice case involving dental mistakes. The same procedure was done by a different dentist and it only cost $3,500 out of pocket. the costs for these procedures need to be looked at. This is Price gouging!
