This Petition Is To Inform Chicago's Mayor And It's Aldermen That The People Of Chicago And The People Of The United States Are Sickened By The Constant Acts Of Violence And Murder That Continue To Plague Chicago.

Our continued dependence on fossil fuels will accelerate detrimental climate change and contribute to ocean acidification. Grays Harbor should be a leader in innovative clean industries and trade.

Gun legislation is a farse and there are 3 million assault rifles!

Gun violence must be greatly reduced but gun owners claim that laws prohibiting any kind of weapon or ammo clip infringes on their rights. It's time to attach some societal responsibility to the right to bear arms.

Medical Marijuana needs to be legalized in every state. I myself have struggled with depression and insomnia that has only been cured by marijuana. I am not a criminal, but because of these ridiculous outdated laws, i am. I am not the only one who feels this way either.

Islamic humiliation, amputation des mains, châtiments corporels, viols et destruction des mausolées.

Bi-partisanship in the House and Senate is vital to the smooth running of government programs, the nation’s economy and passing important legislation. That is the only way to end our fiscal troubles, pass good immigration reform, and other important legislation.

I am a law abiding and licensed gun owner from Grand Island, NY. Given the fact that the NY Safe Act contained nearly 25,000 words, there is no possible way the State Legislators could have thoroughly read it and understood it given the fact they had less than an hour to do so. The Governor's obvious use of this platform to create publicity for his future run for the White House is unjustifiable. As a result, this law should be repealed immediately.

I live in Homer, IL and Sunrise Coal, LLC would like to open a room and pillar mining operation in Vermilion County and part of Champaign County. Sunrise would like to purchase their water (max 20,000 gallons of potable water per day and 500,000 gallons of non-potable water per day) from Homer IL, or an alternative source Sunrise claims to have. The purpose of the water that is being requested would be for showering as well as washing the extracted coal to render it saleable to an unknown source. The chemicals and waste from this process will be stored in a permanent slurry pond located on the mine property. The potential for any number of catastrophes to happen is unmeasurable. There are very few in the Village of Homer that want this, in addition to a large portion of farmers whom are opposed from the surrounding area that would be negatively affected from subsidence, air pollution, or well pollution. The IEPA has shown time and again that it cannot keep up with enforcing regulations, illustrated by the ongoing pollution in Murdock, IL. Stopping this mine all together with help from the State would bring the entire State of Illinois closer to keeping our water, air, and land free from harmful pollutants for generation to come.

Ahead of the confirmation hearing of John Brennan to head the CIA, Sen. Ron Wyden [D-OR] has demanded that the Administration disclose to Congress the Administration's legal justification for conducting drone strikes in Pakistan, Yemen, and Somalia. Urge Senator Durbin to publicly join Sen. Wyden in demanding this information be disclosed to Congress before the confirmation hearing.

We were all effected by GOP's attempt to suppress our vote and now they are using different tactics. They want to award electoral votes via Congressional districts. The problem being Congressional districts are not created equal and this would in essence give Republicans an unfair advantage while simultaneously discounting the vote of Americans who live in Urban Areas.

Citizens' groups and former state governors have successfully opposed high-rise buildings on the Olympia Isthmus, which block, or would block, spectacular views to and from Washington's majestic state capitol; which capitol overlooks southern Puget Sound, the Olympic Mountains, Capitol Lake, and the Deschutes River estuary. As a result of these efforts, the City of Olympia has designated the Isthmus as a park, and is seeking $2 million funding from the State Legislature to purchase key parcels to extend the park to the entire Isthmus.
