The people services that is already in place, e.g., social security, medicare, food stamp, etc., should be protected and their should be NO cuts on these programs. I have applied for jobs, still waiting on one, my husband collecting unemployment, we are going by due to getting food stamps, which it helps greatly until our situation gets better. We will be retiring this year, and our health is deteriorating not getting better..we hope to have funds available to be able to retire without having to worry on our circumstances.

When the mass murder occured in Conncecticut it was the final straw. Every mass shooting is appalling, but 20 kindergarteners & first graders litterally vaporized by an assault weapon.....we MUST insist on banning assault weapons and their multi round ammunition magazines. We are planning to deliver the petition to Congressman Lattas' office in Bowling Green on March 7th at 2:00pm

We are being poisoned by the foods we are being offered in our stores. Through the Genetically Modified Organisms we are being poisoned. This particularly affects children through their health and behaviors.

Reguirements of proof of weapon registration and background checks for purchase of ammunition; clearance of eligibility to make purchases; registration of all purchases into data bank used for checks. The focus is upon what is possible to regulate. Obviously, restriction of gun ownership and possession is not feasible, but control of ammunition is feasible to regulate. At 72 years old, I am tired of excuses and no courage to address a problem that has reached a national crisis and denial continues from NRA and greedy weapons industry.

Acrobatic gymnastics is a sport that thousands of athletes compete in worldwide, however, it is not yet a part of the Olympic Games. These athletes work just as hard, yet are under-funded and under-appreciated because they cannot hold an Olympic title. Help these talented athletes get the appreciation and funding they deserve by telling the USOC to include acrobatic gymnastics in the Olympics.

NYC Mayor Bloomberg has attacked the police and fire unions, mass transit union, public school teachers union and now the school bus unions. He told the governor of NY, Andrew Cuomo, to veto the very same job protection provision the mayor included in the contract he sent to the governor to sign. Why did the governor allow a mayor to tell him what to do? Now the mayor is claiming the protection is illegal and refuses to be involved in the labor dispute. The mayor wants to cut school bus runs so successful workers would be laid off every year, then recreate runs so bus companies could rehire the laid off workers as new drivers at beginner salaries, the protection prevents this sneaky deed. The NYC Council, NYC Comptroller, the police and transportation unions, sand parents of students are all against the the mayor's actions. We need to tell this governor to stand up against this malicious mayor and protect the modest middle class jobs in his state, which is the promised he made to New Yorkers when he ran for governor.

I am starting this petition, because I am sick of the life-time politicians we have in Congress. Congress continues to act as if the people don't matter, and only do things when it benefits them. The amount of rotation in Congress is at an all-time low, due to peoples disenchantment of our system. I believe if there were shorter terms and no life-time politicians for Lobbyist to corrupt, Congress might do more for the people that voted them into Office.

This petition in short is my own personal attempt to save America from itself and allow our nations wildlife and habitat to forever thrive under this constitutional amendment which I hope to have help incorperating into the Endangered Species Act, which is the only soverign voice that nature has among our laws to ensure it endours this age of industrialized expansion of capitolism. I want to ensure that our free market remains in tact allowing local businesses the right to affectively compete and prohibiting excessive corperate franchise expansion to areas that must be protected. It would also aid in teaching us as Americans that we must use our freedoms to build our homes and lives within the balance of nature, instead of us whining over such inconviences like local habitat and wildlife which might get in the way of our hunting hobbies, or golf courses. It's time to live responsibly and freedom and pursuit of happiness should extend past our own species, to the rest of earth's creations.

My name is Anita Rentz and I live in Marietta, GA. I am a citizen and I am very sick. Because I have pre-existing chronic condition, insurance is charging me too much. I am trying to get medicaid and I was told by the office that someone will call today and no-one called. I called Washington and I was on hold for hours. This is not possible for me because of my health), I left voice message for medicaid and no one returned the call. I left message for the case workers and they never replied.

Our childrens education should be top priority

The issues surrounding the use of armed drones are many and complicated and the consequences of using them tragic and far-reaching. Do we as a nation really condone the loss of innocent life in the taking of terrorists by drone attack? What are we doing in Afghanistan? Are we at war? Are we an occupying force? The war on terrorism has become a morass into which we are dumping our humanity. We must re-think who we are as a nation and fellow human beings.
