My petition is for affordable housing for what I consider the "lower middle class" in NYC. Landlords and rent guidelines are so biased. If you earn over $40,000 you're usually disqualified from affordable housing lotteries. You have no other choice but to waste money on broker's, security deposits and at least 1st months rent. Rents are sky rocketing in NY and after paying $1,300 or more in rent along with other rising costs in New York we hardly have any money left over for anything else.

Spur MA legislature to support our Governor.

a better deal for Minnesota residents

Education, economy, the environment. Last I checked we were free. Give us back our jobs so we can provide for our families and so kids are bot starving to death.

Dear Gov. Brown: With the failing struggle to maintain sprawl draining our municipalities' budgets, we must do everything we can to promote bicycling for local travel, which will reduce wear and tear on infrastructure and alleviate road and parking congestion. Yet careless motorists frequently "buzz" cyclists, with often dire results--worse, we often see posts and comments erroneously claiming that cyclists have no right to the road, and that it is permissible to engage in this sort of intimidation against them. Your repeated vetoes of three-foot passing bills have sent a signal to the population that cyclists are expendable and that only drivers matter to you. Please support--or initiate!--the next safe passing bill to protect the thousands of cyclists who are doing their part to protect our environment and our economy both. Note: A proposed amendment to AB 1371 would effectively result in a safe-passing law if signed by Gov. brown.

This would stimulate the economy and reduce the need for welfare (food stamps).

According to "The Influence Industry" column by T.W. Farnam in today's Washington Post, "Stan Collender, a leading expert on federal fiscal matters...said the fate of lawmakers salaries in the sequester falls into the gray area and the fact that they are left untouched is likely the result of 'some sort of internal, below the radar decision.'"

I think given current legislation mandating health insurance, that if a person has coverage through COBRA, where we pay the entire premiuim, we should be allowed to keep this plan until we get a new job that offers insurance.

Voter I D bill to requires voter identification of everyone registered to vote in the state of Arkansas

When voting for members of congress, lets send the message that we are tired of your inability to cooperate and get work done. Vote all of them out. Ask for term limits of 8 years and no more life long healthcare or retirement benefits for just serving one term. Like your fellow Americans, you need to work at a job for 20 years before your entitled to benefits.

The citizens of Alabama have the right to either vote up or down on the topic of lottery and gambling; thanks in part to the over imagination of the Alabama Supreme Court and the Attorney General, Luther Strange, the people of Alabama are being subjected over and over again to the political tug of war over something that can be settled once and for all by the people.

My only disposable income is my social security check and any price increases drastically reduce my purchasing power.
