Too many good people are getting heavy fines jail time and a record for life for miniscule amounts of weed. And yes I'm affected by NJ tough weed laws.

Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne should be asked to step down. He has looked the other way when Jan Brewer swept over $50 million dollars into her budget that was slated from the Federal Government to go to struggling home owners duped in the housing mortgage banking schemes. He is under Federal investigation for improper election results and a marital affair and a hit and and run he did not admit to. His actions and behaviors are not legal and he should have to resign his post.,

A few politically charged Republican lawmakers are casting stones and making disparaging remarks to try and make political points about an American tragedy like the attack on our embassy in Benghazi. We need bi-partisanship, and to come together as Americans for the sake of the families of those who were killed, and those who were terrorized. The President did say that this was a spontaneous demonstration, that he does not know who is responsible for the attack and that the demonstration was a spontaneous one. When I was in high school, a couple of kids were pushed into me, and we fell to the floor. While they were helping me to my feet, someone else took off with my wallet. To this day, I truly believe that most of those kids were mere pawns who suffered a fall, just as I did. I don't know the identity of the person who stole my wallet, but I do know that he or she is a thief. President Obama is neither cynical enough, nor naive enough, to believe that the entire crowd of protesters was in on the full attack with a rocket launcher. It is far more plausible to believe that they were deliberately whipped into a frenzy to serve as a distraction for the real attack. Otherwise, intelligence about the impending attack would have been more widespread. When viewed in this light, each of the President's statements is true, rather than a lie. However, these lawmakers find this view inconvenient, because the truth does not amount to a scandal. The President neither takes, nor fills, security staffing requests from U.S. embassies. This is a fairly routine task that would have probably never risen to his attention, nor to that of Secretary Clinton. Like anyone who is in a position of leadership, they must depend on others to do their jobs conscientiously. Therefore, we currently have no evidence that either of them failed to handle their job with competence and with a deep regard for the lives of those people whose lives were changed that night. Making wild accusations without evidence serves no positive interest for the American people. Therefore, I am asking that Congress, and especially Senators Graham and McCain, do the same thing that even a rookie prosecutor would know to do the first day on the job right out of law school: Wait for the investigation to run its course. Then speak.

It seems like the majority of Americans voted for Obama, and newly elected senators to bring democracy to all. When will Republicans stop bullying women and minorities in America? It's time to take a stand and have U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice's back. Obama has not even picked his cabinet, and now senators John McCain, Lindsey Graham and Kelly Ayotte are defaming the Ambassadors character. Take a stand with me, please.

I don't like the unrespectful way he treats our president.

My son attend Mount Vernon High School, which the quality of Education in the school is below national level. Our children does not have updated books or computers and other important curriculum to meet our current standard of education in today's competitive market to enter college. Mount Vernon H.S. is using books from 20 years ago to teach our children, and the food they are providing children are terrible. Please help our children in Mount Vernon, New York. Thank you,

I am an American who feels that the voting process is a travesty of democracy. It should be based on the popular vote and not on the Electoral college (Winner takes all). This past election made that very clear when Barack Obama had been declared the winner with only 60% of the popular vote counted.

This is a petition requesting that China should make efforts to address the suffering of the Tibetan People in Tibet. There has only been silence regarding the ever increasing number of Tibetan's committing immolation. China must come to terms with this reality and not think that it will go away. We the world must know what solution does China have? Blaming the Dalai Lama is not a solution to the failed policies in Tibet. Please support this effort. The Tibetan issue will not go away, how can we have good trade relationship with China when human rights means so little to them

Petition for all elected officials to void or retract all pledges made to any entity that does not make public all sources of contributions and sources of income.Politicians have blindly signed pledges to groups who have not revealed if the groups receive funding from foreign governments or antiamerican groups.

The election is over and the message was loud and clear. Economic relief for middle class and poor is priority number one. Stop the nasty politics and do your job. Obstructionists won't win re-election.

The US is facing "falling off the financial cliff" on January 1, 2013. The American public "hired" Congress to make sure there is a fair, long term solution that will avert this disaster to our economy.
