• Governor Brown: Save our State and protect a finite water source.
    My monthly water dept. bill is huge and I live in a home with only two people. This is distressing but I am worried that the over-population and over-building in California will create even more water shortages, especially in draught years, which are inevitable. It doesn't seem right to be in denial that there is no way to create more water which agriculture and cities depend upon.

  • US Ambassador Aponte: Stop Telling El Salvador to Sell Out Its Workers and Citizens!
    The Salvadoran Legislative Assembly is currently debating a Public-Private Partnership Law which would pave the way for the privatization of important public services. The US Ambassador to El Salvador, Mari Carmen Aponte, has been vigorously pushing the Salvadoran government to pass this law, even making threats that a $368 million development project from the Millennium Challenge Corporation will not be approved if the law is not passed. Please sign the petition to demand that Ambassador Aponte stop pressuring the Salvadoran government to pass this law.

  • Control the Bullets
    Control the Bullets. Its that simple. If you control the bullets and allow only enough for target practice and safety and self defense, the innocent children will not be shot. Its as simple as that.

  • Changing Howard County, MD's School Start Times to 8:00 AM or Later.
    When teens get the required 8.5 to 9 hours of sleep: • School attendance goes up, • Tardiness decreases, • They sleep less in class, • They get in fewer traffic accidents, • Visit nurses and counselors less often, and, • Report less depression and irritability. Starting school before 8:00 AM, without a doubt, undermines optimal academic achievement.

  • Tracking the Pack WOLF 832F LAW
    IN December, wolf 832F ventured out of her territory in Yellowstone’s Lamar Valley. As soon as she left the park, she lost its protections, and the wolf, a 6-year-old alpha female, was shot and killed by a hunter. Dear President Obama, US Congress, Governors, and State Legislatures, We would like to enact the WOLF 832F LAW. This law would prohibit anyone from injuring or killing a wolf wearing an expensive GPS tracking color. Most of the time these wolves are the ALPHA wolves in their pack. When they are killed, the pack is without it's leader. The ALPHA wolves are critical for the packs survival. Along with providing scientists with valuable information about their every move and give them insight into their lives.

  • Limits on Parole Board Discretions!
    My concerns is keeping people locked up to long is a mental issue. People wondering why people get out and committ crimes. The board and whom ever is behind this issue needs to solve the issues. Revision needs to be address. The Paole Board treats the cases and issues like slavery or slaves. People who has did the time that was required to come up for parole needs to let them out and have a second chance. Keeping people locked up is not solving issues. I believe that what ever time is for the one shall stand for all. Too much rascisim is over powering. We need help and we people pay taxes to house inmates. That's not right!!!!

  • Fewer than 100 Wild Red Wolves Remain in the World
    The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission recently approved a temporary state rule that allows spotlight hunting of coyotes at night throughout the state, including in the area inhabited by the only wild population of red wolves, one of the world’s most endangered animals. Red wolves and coyotes look a lot alike, even in daylight. In nighttime conditions, it is nearly impossible to tell them apart. At least two wolves have already been illegally shot. Tell the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission: Don’t let anymore wolves die! Stop all coyote hunting -- daytime or nighttime -- within the red wolf recovery area!
