With Obama listing people for extrajudicial assassination here and abroad, it seems other nation's leaders will soon be doing the same. The world can save lots of drone flights if these leaders all delegate their assassination duties to the UN for vetting and execution.

Now that Justice Antonin Scalia with his racially tinged rhetoric has exposed himself as a radical partisan, an activist judge in every sense, it is time for the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court to demand more impartiality and more decency from the members of his court. We call on the Chief Justice to repudiate Justice Scalia's recent comments and to demonstrate the impartiality of the court.

While employers' websites say that they can't respond to job applicants because they are getting too many resumes, employers claim that they can't find American workers and need to expand the H1-B program. With federal budget cuts, defense industry workers are being laid off in large numbers. Our returning veterans are getting training but are still jobless. Except in chemical engineering, half the women who graduate with a US engineering degree do not have a career in their fields. Age discrimination is rampant as interviewing teams feel threatened by their deep experience. We do not oppose foreign workers. It is simply a matter of survival for many Americans. Ask President Obama to veto Senate Bill 169 and put Americans back to work.

At a time of severe economic hardship for Americans living at or near poverty, cuts to housing assistance programs will only result in increasing the numbers of individuals and families becoming homeless. This is not only an inhumane policy but one that will cost taxpayers much more to fix in the long run. As someone who has benefited from housing assistance, I know how vitally important and worth saving these programs are.

There is an elementary school that is trying to get rid of a program that allows students to display talent and discover talent. If I can get enough signatures to the principal, it may change his mind.

Deregulation of Barber and Beauty Industry. This is a crazy idea. The safety and public sanitation and infection control will be endanger.

Although I believe we need a credit scoring system to allow banks to make appropriate loans and good credit customers to achieve lower interest rates, I believe there are serious problems with the current system. The following are recommendations to make the credit system more equitable: ..Do not allow credit card companies to put anything on your credit card unless specifically authorized in advance. ..Allow your credit card to automatically expire after three months of non-payment. The reason is that many people relocate to find other jobs or out of the country and items are placed on their cards and then for 6 month the penalty and interest increase. In my case an $80 credit card charge for a ride to the airport to re-locate out of the country ran up to $850 with no notification. Now the credit card company will not remove it from the credit agency even if we pay the $850. We are talking about people who have good credit but destroyed by the credit card company with not remedy leading to huge losses in potential purchasing power and a slower economy. And it seem like usury to me.

This petition is to adjust the antiquated parking ordinances of the City of Las Vegas, Nevada to reflect today's common privately owned vehicles.

The Beaverton Police have started performing police stops on innocent people "en masse" while having no suspicion of a crime, and no way to possibly suspect them of a crime, only to find 99% of the people they stopped are innocent. These people are effectively detained, immobile, and forced to show proof of their innocence against theft, under threat of being arrested if they do not show their papers... A TriMet transit ticket. Has this happened to you? If you ride the Max, chances are it has. The Beaverton Police either board the train, or they wait outside the train. Sometimes they come on in rapid swat-like fashion, and they carry GUNS, wear the complete vest/riot gear, and they really get up in your face demanding the ticket. Why should innocent people be subjected to repeated police action? It would seem like the very laws preventing the police from harassing innocent people are repeatedly being violated by the Beaverton Police. What about the constitution? The 4th Ammendment protects against unreasonable search, saying the civilians are "secure in their papers". The 5th Ammendment protects against self incrimination. The Miranda rights provide that you don't need to talk to police. They have violated all these rights. Moreover... We FEEL violated by their actions. We FEEL like our rights of interaction with police... Only if they are investigating a real crime or have suspicion about you personally... have been stripped away, and if they can do THIS... What's to stop them from doing anything? Please..... We need your help.

Illinois State Senator Ira Silverstein is trying to pass a bill whereas if you have an unpaid utility bill in the City of Chicago, they can boot your car. If your car is booted you have 24 hours to pay the unpaid utility bill and boot fee otherwise your car will be towed and impounded. Once that happens you have 21 days to pay the entire utility bill, the boot fee, the tow fee and storage fee otherwise your car will be auctioned off. As you can imagine I am pretty livid about this. How dare a STATE senator introduce a bill that (right now) only affects the City of Chicago (MOST of his district is northern suburbs, Skokie, Wilmette, etc.) and targets the least of us, our seniors living off social security, those with low income, unemployed and underemployed?! No one purposely does not pay their utilities, that is the first thing people will pay when they have the money; no one wants to be in the dark, cold or without water. With this new increase in city water, this could affect more people that we realize. It doesn’t matter if you live in a house or an apartment, if you have a utility bill, you are affected. Again, this only affects the City of Chicago, but I’m certain this is just the testing ground, it can and if we allow, will expand statewide and possibly nationwide, so you don’t need to live in the city to fight against this bill. The bill was introduced January 10, 2013 and re-referred February 28, 2013 and the bill number is Illinois SB0036.

If your degree is costing you money every month but not opening up opportunities and increasing your salary, then why not get a refund? For-Profit Universities sell their degrees on the premise of increased wages and career opportunities; however, no one imposes any sanctions on them to deliver these promises. I firmly believe 'Lemon Law', etc. should be extended to a college degree. Many Universities are making promises they can't deliver (and don't intend to), and if their product was a car, etc. they would be in court every day for false advertising, selling a lemon, and practically stealing from eager students. Counselors at a For Profit School I attended promised me (via email, advertisements, and word of mouth) ridiculous career advancements and a starting $50k annual salary; however, after completing my bachelors I am still at the same job. Nearly two years have passed, hundreds of applications completed, and all I have to show for it is a $65k plus bill which costs over $600 monthly. I am a public servant and cannot afford a home because of this raising my debt to income level too high. My story is not a new one and I am certain there are hundreds of thousands of us, if not millions. Let us return our degree and call it even. We will not claim to have a bachelors degree or even mention attending a University. We return the degree and all its merits and get our debt resolved i.e. a full refund. This is a fair proposal.
