I am pleading for your support to have Speaker of the House John Boehner removed from his position in the U.S. House. He is a total obstructionist to our country moving forward!

Give peace to all. Love each other. Hope for the best!!!

I'am a proud parent of a 2 year old baby girl. When visiting parks, and while waiting at bus stops I have witnessed adults smoking around children. These adults not only put my daughter at risk of 2nd hand smoke but also your children. It is our duty to defend those who cannot fend for themselves therefore a ban must be put in place to protect our loved ones

A written medical policy is needed for school buses in case of injury. My daughter Tyana went into asthma induced hyperventilation causing her fingers to stiffen and become locked. Her breathing was impaired severely from verbal bullying lasting over fifteen minutes on the bus. Students helped. I addressed the board of education in Marshall County Tennessee. They had only vague verbal instructions prior to this incident. They placed into writing a medical policy for bus drivers to follow. With as many children that have asthma today....it is important for me to make sure this petition exceeds my expectations to help all those who suffer injury of any kind on a school bus.

In the State of the Union, President Obama called for raising the minimum wage to $9 an hour. We need it desperately. Please, Congress, raise the minimum wage. I immigrated to Maryland from Cameroon in search of a better life. Today, I work as a day laborer, making just the minimum wage, $7.25 an hour. I do construction and other physical labor. If the boss tells you to go breakdown a wall, and you spend all day breaking it down. It's demanding. You use every ounce of physical strength and every muscle in your body, and when you get home you are exhausted. But you have no money to show for all the hard work. The money goes to rent, bus fare, food, and taxes. It's frustrating and it's scary. It's impossible to keep my rent paid, keep the lights on and keep food on the table on the minimum wage. It's impossible to save for the future. It's impossible to imagine supporting a family. Workers making the minimum wage are truly struggling. Please, Speaker Boehner and Minority Leader McConnell: don't block President Obama's minimum wage increase. We need a raise.

Fresno County cannot afford to continue to poor hundreds of thousands of dollars defending a lawsuit they know they can not win. Too much money is wasted trying to hide or delay the ultimate judgement against the Fresno County Jail. Investing dollars used to fight this class action lawsuit, would go much further if it were used to the improve and restore conditions of adequate healthcare and mental health services to constituitonal standards. Fresno Co. Board of Supervisors you have that power, we demand that you use it! Settle this lawsuit and see to it that the defendants of this lawsuit focus on the priorities on improving adequate inmate healthcare and mental health services to constitutional standards at the Fresno County Jail.

We have kept goats in the past that were like members of the family and provided us with delicious and nutritious milk, cheese and yoghourt. We live in Albany and would like to keep them again.

Lifetime benefits for all members of the House and Senate even if they serve only one term.

We petition the Obama administration to: publicly support Virginia Rep. Eric Cantor's stand that children of undocumented workers should get citizenship.

Charter Schools are private schools that receive federal and state funds. Private means you have to pay. Vouchers are to be provided for those that can't pay, however, those vouchers will be limited and may not be fairly distributed. Once the charter schools are set up in poor areas, the public schools in that area will eventually cease to exist. Your children's education is too important to let this happen.

Our postal system is the best in the world with a long tradition of keeping us in touch with the whole country and the world. Please DONT Dismantle IT. The US POstal system belongs to the American people
