An easy way to help prevent firearm deaths in this country is to require gun manufacturers to include an appropriate gun lock with every firearm sold in this country. Whether it is a trigger lock or a cable lock that prevents a shell from being loaded, having a lock included increases the chance that the owner will use one. Thus, preventing accidental discharge, or a thief from readily using it.

We Need to BAN & OUTLAW....All Puppy Mills ...Here in the State of Missouri! Thank You :)

North Carolina’s water ecosystem needs protection from exploitation. PA and WY frack sites warns us that fracking for limited gas resources is not worth the price of long term public health problems.

Many slurry compositions are patented and hence the content is public record. It is tru that slight difference may make a difference in efficiency and provide a competitive advantage in extraction, and this is a legitimate argument for being maintained as "trade secrets". However, the subltleties of appropriate monitoring and regulation for protection of ari and water quality outweigh "trade secret" advantages and the loss of secretiveness will be shared in common by all producers, and they may even learn from one another more effective extraction methods and simultaneously better protect the air and water AND improve their capacity to reusse and recycle and reclaim components of the slurry and actually save money and increase profits for them all.

Our deficit is out of control, making the average taxpayer nervous, and feeling vaguely ripped off when images of people "working' the system, and continuing to make irresponsible choices on the governmental dime are shown in the media, or right in their faces. I propose this: Make the receipt of cash and food stamp benefits dependent on the completion of basic parenting and sex education programs.

Last summer, organizers in Orange County, FL gathered more than 50,000 petitions earning the right to vote on the issue of Earned Sick Time for workers. Five out of six county commissioners were found to be secretly texting lobbyists to block citizens from their right to vote on this issue. The only way to restore faith in the democratic process and bring justice to 52,000 voters who legally petitioned their government is for Mayor Jacobs to call for a criminal investigation into the commissioners’ questionable actions.

Currently in the state of Minnesota there Minnesota care does not cover transgender related issue. This includes sexual reassignment. This cause depression and suicide which cost the state a lot more. This use to be covered until the gop wrote it out .

Utah now has the dirtiest air in the nation. It's not safe to breathe. So let's stop drilling, stop using more coal and stop refinery expansion AND STOP THE POLLUTION. Let's really go green and not just talk about it. Let's welcome Green Groups like the Outdoor Retailers...and tell the oil companies to take a hike.

My stepson was killed in 2010 at the age of 16 due to gun violence

"Senate Republicans have taken an unconstitutional action to gerrymander new Senate District lines mid-decade..." —Senator Ralph Northam

Deceptive property and business taxation has been a traditional burden against business development and job creation for years. Homeowner taxation is grossly manipulated and especially unfair for seniors living in their homes until death. Homeowners and business can no longer support every blank-check community need for eternity. Other more logical sources must be creatively determined.

Voting is a Constitutional right for every American citizen. Governor Rick Scott and Republican Legislators want to infringe on our rights by gerrymandering voting districts in Tallahassee. If they are successful, we should expect this effort will be replicated all across the State of Florida. Please sign this petition and stand up for the rights of all Floridians to vote and have their votes counted.
