Seeing the long lines during the 2012 presidential election dictates that Washington DC do something to make elections in the US better.

We Democrats (Young and Old) of Florida seek to remove Rick Scott the Governor of Florida from office and the Republican State Legislature as they continue to make decisions not in the best interest of Florida. The latest was to announce after the eve of the landslide win of President Obama that he and the state legislature would not support Obamacare. Prior to that the Republican gang fought to suppress early voter turnout by cutting the days for early voting, and when the chaos of long lines emerged, the Governor fought to keep the voters from voting past 7:00pm on October 27th, This non-democratic action resulted in Republicans and Democrats banding together to vote inspite of his tactics. The list goes on from Rick Scott fighting the new speed trains system..he fought the new rail systems by sending the funding back to Congress. He is a disgrace to legacy of Charlie Crist a moderate Republican turned Democract and other leaders like Buddy Dyer who has lead the development of Orlando to be the No.1 travel destination in the world..

Fracking wells are destroying our water, roads and property values. Obscene spending by Special Interest groups on campaigns and lobbying is endangering your rights. Send a message to the WV Legislature. It's time to stand up to and limit the influence of large Gas, Oil, and Coal corporations and lobbyists. Save WV for West Virginians.

For Students who cannot find a reasonable paying job in their career fields due to a slow, down, or economically distress economy, such as America's right now. Help Prevent students from undergoing debt, and credit issues due to no fault of their own. Help prevent students from defaulting on their federal student loans. Since America's economic meltdown in 2007, many taxpayers have suffered loss of jobs, homes, retirement and savings losses, higher education costs, and etc. The president has addressed and put into place some measure of relief to help everyone but struggling students trying to find a job, all while federal mandates are still in place that pressure already distressed students to pay back their student loans without any mercy. Even more tragic, the current forbearances and deferments in place for students are not only insufficient in bringing relief to students/parents, but worsen the blow of the students's plight in finding their way in America's weakened economy.

Lane County is named after Joseph Lane, Vice-Presidential candidate for the pro-slavery South, the Confederacy, back in the mid-1800s. He and many of his like-spirited friends later moved to this area, many more racists migrated here during the Great Depression. Word is, many of their grandchildren are doing a good job of reversing that heritage. Would they support a renaming of Lane County? What a fine symbolic act that would be! Those most supportive of one’s courage to change are often equally willing. Please sign below:

embers of Congress return to Washington on November 13 to make high-stakes decisions about whether to end tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans that are paid for by massive cuts to services that seniors, veterans and children depend on. The American people just rejected a rigged system that only works for the wealthiest few. Sign our petition now to tell your elected representatives you demand that the wealthiest Americans and big corporations start paying their fair share of taxes – starting with ending the Bush tax cuts for the richest 2%.

I think the Electoral College is unconstitutional. Outside of six states your vote for president is worthless. I honestly believe more people would vote from both parties if it was a popular vote. This is not colonial times with separate 'states' each with its own common specific interest. This is modern America with a vast segregation of all demographics across the entire country. I am sure that a number of people don't bother to vote unless there is a hot local issue.

I have no choice but to live in Ga. I taught school for 25 years but did not retire and I cannot find a job. I have no insurance but Ga officials do not care. They only care about their own selfish hate filled agendas. I cannot move so stop this nonsense and use taxes to help people not fight the President.

Congress needs to enact legislation to empower the FEC to monitor all campaign advertising for truth & ethical standards & hand down disiplinary actions for violations. The election that just ended was completely over the top & unethical.

All citizens should be allowed to vote all states should have the same requirments,all the states should have at least 3 weeks of early voting including sundays.

Verizon technicians install DVRs in the homes of people who don't even know what they are or how to use them. They do not provide information on a less expensive alternative which is half the cost of the DVR.

LOCATION NOTE: This petition was originally written for Portage County but support quickly grew throughout Northeast and now the entire state of Ohio. We cannot edit the original wording above that references NE Ohio, but we will share this with the ESC in any Ohio county represented by signatures. A national petition can be found at StartSchoolLater.net. For the health, education, and safety of our youth it is recommended that middle and high schools start after 8:30 am. Schools across the nation have acted upon these recommendations, and the best first step is to simply create a committee to discuss the concept. The recommendation to delay start times for middle and high school is due to a later shift in sleep cycle that occurs during puberty. Because of this temporary later shift in circadian rhythm teens cannot fall asleep early enough to accommodate an early morning wake time - which results in chronic sleep deprivation and a myriad of associated problems including obesity, increased sports injuries, changes in insulin resistance, cognitive deficits, and behavioral problems. Among schools that have changed the benefits include: decreased auto accidents, increased enrollment, improved grades, higher standardized test scores, improved behavior, and fewer nurse and counseling referrals. The Ohio Adolescent Health Partnership lists later school start times as one way to improve the health of Ohio's children. Visit www.OhioAdolescentHealth.org There are too many studies to list them all, but here are a few highlights: Auto Accidents: 24.3% reduction in teen auto accidents in Fayette County KY compared to the rest of the state after high schools changed from 7:30 am to 8:30 am start times. (Danner and Phillips, 2008) Grades: Improved grades for 7th grade girls and 8th grade boys and girls in middle schools that started at 8:37 am compared to middle schools that started at 7:25 am in Rhode Island. Remember that girls hit puberty before boys. (Wolfson et al, 2007) Improved grades among US Air Force Academy Cadets who started their day at 7:50 am compared to 7:00 am. Remember that puberty extends into the early 20’s. (Carell et al, 2011) Sports Injuries: 68% reduction in sports injuries among students who get one hour more sleep than their peers. (Milewski, 2012) Financial Benefits: Estimated benefit to cost ratio of 9 to 1 in changing high schools to one hour later. (From the Brookings Institute Hamilton Project report: “Organizing Schools to Improve Student Achievement: Start Times, Grade Configurations, and Teacher Assignments” available online.)
