• Change the drinking age back to 18
    The legal drinking age at 21 has increased pregaming by underage drinkers. When pregaming (drinking before going out so they don't have to show ID) the risk of : drunk driving increases, alcohol poisoning increases, risky behavior increases. When the legal age was 18 it was appropriate. At 18 kids went away to college, entered the service and went out on their own. College students (and anyone else for that matter) will drink no matter what, especially when they are away from home. By making it legal, these kids won't have to resort to drinking as much as they can before they go out to avoid using phoney ID's.

    I have been unemployed since November 2007 and have been unsuccessful in find work in my field of banking. I have been discriminated against because of my age, credit and race. It is hard to proove, but I know it exist. there needs to be some training for the chronically unemployed who were laid off because of no fault of their own. Also there needs to be a 5th unemployment extension for those chronically unemployed over 50 years of age. I am presently not receiving any benefits and my benefits have been exhausted.

  • Healthy New York: Don't Drop Mental Health Coverage!
    New York State's insurance plan for low-income people and families without health care benefits from their place of employment is planning to suspend Mental Health benefits, including virtually all psychiatric prescription medications, beginning February 4. In the wake of the tragic shooting in Newtown, CT. this seems a very short-sighted and preposterous act. Psychiatric illness can affect all of us, not just the patient.

  • Public Funding Only
    This petition is about bringing an end to allowing lobbies, large companies and millionaires to fund campaigns for politicians running for office. The law would require candidates, once chosen by their party to run as their representative, to apply for public funding, only, to run their campaigns.
