Our environment is already being impacted by oil and gas production and emissions. We will not be able to stop the ill effects of this process. Please place our ongoing initiatives into attracting businesses that are looking into new technologies and education support for our children to be able to compete in the new technology businesses.

100% no Fracturing zone in Washington state . It use's to much of our natural resources,(Water 1 million gallons a day). The chemicals used to mix in and the residuals that come out of the fracturing process can affect our drinking water be it underground or surface water and possibly depleting our aquifer. Polluted water leaves our people with long and short term health issues and expenditures, that the state of washington with have to cover. The people of Pennsylvania and Canada who are exposed to fracturing chemicals through well water and food supplies(cattle, sheep and crops ) are affected by the toxicity of the chemicals added to the soil and local water supply. Fracturing companies are out for profit and are not concerned with the long or short term effects of the waste product that they produce by the fracturing process and will claim to recapture the water that returns to the surface, but don't have the ability to clean either captured surface water nor the water left in the soil, to its original pure form it began with.

Passing legislation now to raise the minimum wage to $10/hr by 2015 is not only necessary, but long-past warranted. Many Americans left behind in the wake of corporate greed have been left no alternative than to accept positions with organizations that only pay minimum wage, no matter what skills or experience the employee brings. That has had the effect of throwing millions of workers into poverty. In the richest country in the world, where corporate profits and CEO compensations have never been higher, that has a stock-market that has come roaring back, to have millions of working families living in poverty is a travesty. Please, join me in telling our representatives that this is no longer acceptable and the minimum wage must be increased to allow our fellow citizens the simple luxuries of food and roofs over their heads.

Most are not aware that Tillamook PUD's proposed Front Street alignment for the portion of its new 115Kv electric transmission line designed to serve Oceanside will run right down Front Street. The alignment will preclude new development and redevelopment in this most historic part of the city. It will also curtail current employment growth as well as new job opportunities, devalue property and be a potential health risk.

Until the recent Michigan Supreme Court Ruling, Medical Marijuana Dispensaries have had a beneficial effect to all Medical Marijuana patients. Some even donated unused Medical Marijuana to charities such as Hospice. This should be allowed to continue.

Many Christians are under the false impression that Christians shouldn't get involved in politics or government. This is not true. The Prophets spoke truth to Kings all the time. Read Jeremiah 22. The prophet is warning the King to treat workers and the poor right!

In the State of the Union, President Obama called on Congress to raise the minimum wage and to tie it to inflation. This is a huge step -- minimum wage workers have been falling behind for decades. Raising the minimum wage and tying it to inflation will ensure we don't leave them behind in the future. Here in Connecticut, we know we can't wait for John Boehner and Mitch McConnell to agree. We need the State Senate to take the first step. It's time to raise the minimum wage. Sign our petition to tell the State Senate to raise the minimum wage and tie it to inflation!

Separation of Church and State

We can create export jobs by identifying what other countries need from the ground up instead of what they need from the top down. Our team has been successful in other countries but we can succeed in Ohio beyond our wildest dream. We need the help from our state government and our Ohio citizens to join us.
