Currently only the legislature can pass Medical Marijuana Laws. The only way to be heard is to contact your local representatives. We need current laws for a modern world. Change the structure of our legislative process to include the people. Allow the issue to be put to a vote for all Kansans to decide.

We firmly believe that carrying concealed firearms is a right that should be reserved on college campuses only for duly initiated law-enforcement officials.

The citizens of Warrington township and surrounding areas are opposed to the building of a Walmart in our town and urge our legislators to take every step possible to preserve this land in a way that preserves the beauty of Bucks County.

True Transparency in Judicial Selection to promote real merit based appointments to the Bench. We claim that our system is merit based, but political insiders and persons with narrow experience and limited tenure abound.

This petition would require restaurants and bars to recycle glass, aluminum and plastic beverage containers. This is an industry that goes through hundreds of pounds of glass,aluminum and plastic, which end up in trash sites. This is incredibly irresponsible. The U.S. recycles 28% of its waste. The U.S. beverage recycling rate is only at 35%. The U.S. is the largest consumer of aluminum soft-drink and beer cans, but only recycles about 54% of aluminum cans. Glass, which saves about a ton of natural resources when a ton of glass is recycled, can be reused without any loss in purity or quality, and can reappear back on store shelves within thirty days. There are many benefits to recycling glass, such as reduction in carbon dioxide emission. However, under 30% of glass is recycled in the U.S. California has proved a leader in recycling glass, with 80% of its glass recycled. Many praise bottle bills, which give consumers financial incentives to recycle. Plastic products, which can be continuously reused for decades, yet usually only live to serve one purpose before thrown in the trash, pose the biggest problem to our environment in terms of beverage products. Not only does the reckless disposal of plastic products, usually bottles, pollute our oceans and coastlines, plastic bottles floating in the ocean can also serve as vessels for invasive species not native to certain environments. Furthermore, plastic that ends up in our landfills, can leak harmful chemicals into our soil, which can later contaminate drinking water sources. While there has been a 1.7% increase of recycled plastic bottles in 2011, the U.S. only recycles a little under 29% of plastic bottles, which is not nearly enough. Mandating restaurants and bars to recycle beverage products alone will not solve our nation's recycling problem,but it is a good start that will bring about productive changes and noticeable benefits. As a nation that prides itself on being a "leader", or "super power," its about time to start being the world's leader in energy conservation and innovation.

I'm a lifetime cyclist, now 60, with a neck injury that makes Boulder's big hills -or distances over 5 miles- quite painful. I plan to soon buy an electric bike, which "levels the playing field" for what I think is the actual majority of people, including me. Boulder is now re-doing its highly restrictive electric bike laws to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act. I could spend my time seeking disability status but I want EVERYONE possible to use these 40-60 pound energy sippers when practical instead of the average 3,400 pound car. You get as much or little exercise as you want and don't arrive sweaty or exhausted. It's fun and can rehabilitate bodies weakened by age, injury or a sedentary lifestyle. If you use an ebike for half your usual driving mileage (14,500 mi/yr for the average American), a good $3000 model will pay for itself in saved gas in about 3 years. Indications are that they use 1-2% of the energy an average car does, far outdoing the 80-90% reduction in fossil fuel usage that climate scientists say we must accomplish, fast.

We need a state law to support the US Supreme Court decision in Citizen's United to make all exercise of 1st Amendment rights by by companies subject to regulation to require (1) full transparency of all political contributions in the annual report of all companies; and, (2) each board of a company shall be subject to binding shareholder votes over allowing political contributions from the company. We need the above to be enacted and upheld by the US Supreme Court, or a Constitutional Amendment defining a corporation as not a "person" under law, but that would be much harder.

There are too many people in the rural and hard to reach areas of Alaska to ask people to have more than a driver’s license or one other type of ID. If you have a voter card that should be enough, because it means you’re signed up to vote. Some of us older people only have 1 or 2 forms of ID.

The Virginia model rigs the votes to favor congressional districts that unfairly gives more voice to the fewer in number of a state's population. It is not a model that Florida should follow. The candidate that receives the majority vote should receive the electoral votes of that state.

In 2008, then-Governor Swarzenegger took away, not one but two, of the largest Cost of Living Allowances since 1982 costing the state's elderly, blind, and disabled, more than several hundreds of dollars per month; the largest being the 5.8% COLA in 2009. At a time when seniors, the blind, and the disabled are making half what they need to afford a dignified living, according to California's 'Elderly Index', the State of California needs to REINSTATE THOSE COLA PAYMENTS to those who need them the most.

It is inappropriate and offensive to those who have served to protect our nations freedoms to name any publicly controled space, such as a park, government building, monument or street in honor of any person or organization which engaged in violent rebellion against the United States of America.
