Legalize marijuana across the country Save Billions Raise Billions

Millions of US dollars given to the Middle East and to Israel should be cut back!

The industrial growth economy is killing the very planet upon which we all depend. This issue has directly affected me and it affects all of us humans and non-humans alike. We need mainstream alternatives to our mass consumerism and oil addiction. We need to get to work on alternative energy, eco-housing, eco-villages, and organic urban farming using the principles of permaculture. These items need to be promoted by members of our governing body. Many people are already acting out of compassion and peace for the earth. This petition calls for our political leaders to promote and educate the people in these matters and urges them to show that another future is entirely possible. Instead of chasing and cherishing profit over life and warring with other countries for resources, we CAN create a society of abundance. Honestly, I have major doubts that this will happen, given the deep corruption at every level of our governing body...but here's to "yes we can."

I found out the Congress is only working 129 days next year. I don't know if this is true. If it is, it is a real shame on you Congress.

Despite numerous, recent high-profile cases revealing unacceptable and completely avoidable animal suffering at inhumane puppy mills in North Carolina, the state legislature has yet to pass regulations to protect dogs in commercial breeding facilities.Commercial dog breeders must be held accountable to humane standards of treatment, including stiff fines and penalties.

I think most people have been affected either directly or indirectly by the federal prohibition of cannabis. The federal government should repeal prohibition and allow states to determine legality.

I have been denied a checking account with various banks due to bogus over draft charges added to my previous account with Bank of America that I refuse to pay.

Serious legislation making spaying and neutering for dogs and cats mandatory.Animal abuse should be punished with a steep fine,jail time or rehab.IT'S TIME TO PUT AN END TO THIS BARBARIC SUFFERING.ANIMALS FEEL PAIN and DESERVE RESPECT!!!!!!!

Don't take away our due process rights that state and municipal employees have.

The Grover Norquist Anti-Tax Pledge seems to be standing between parties attempting to negotiate a solution to the fiscal crisis our government is facing. Why in the year 2012 should it be legal for our elected officials to sign a pledge to serve any one or any thing other than their appointed duty -- to serve the wishes of the people who elected them.

Fired/disgraced law enforcement officers who are re-hired by other (usually smaller unknowing municipalities) allowing them to once again prey upon the public via,continued corruption,excessive force,profiling,etc. I worked in law enforcement 30 years and a repository of this kind is needed nationally so Federal,State,and Local law enforcement officials can vett prospective candidates and ensure they don't have a questionable/unlawful past.

Under Citizens United, we will have a democracy governed by money and corporations, instead of our human citizens. Stand up to save our democracy
