On Monday October 15th, 2012, the New York City MTA announced several proposals for the fourth fare hike in the past five years. The fare hikes place an unfair burden on working families who are already facing a sluggish local economy and the ever-rising cost of living in the city. Call on Governor Cuomo and the State Legislature to work with the MTA to find a solution that keeps the public transportation we rely on affordable for all New Yorkers.

Our beaches are being turned into ashtrays. Cigarette butts, along with other trash and debris are consuming our beaches every summer. Smokers continue to toss butts on to the beaches across New England. It needs to stop. Please support a ban on smoking on our beaches.

This is about campiagns that smear the opponent. With a wad of cash a candidate can overrun the airwaves with misleading information about the opposition. If a candidate is going to bring up an issue, a position, or a peronal attack on an opposing candidate, the attacking candidate should have to pay for equal time for the victim to respond.

Our planet is faced by very rapid global warming and other changes in climate. These changes are the direct result of careless human activities that include deforestation, fossil fuel burning, pollution with particulate matter, increased CO2 in the atmosphere and other factors. As a society, we need to address this issue immediately, and the lack of discussion of this serious problem by either campaign is detrimental to our nation's well-being.

Energy production, especially on public lands, involves more than just energy production--it often affects the water resource. In the future, we will be scrambling for all the clean fresh water we can find. Our surface waters are rapidly becoming polluted. Processes like "fracking" are frequently damaging our aquifers too. Please don't let energy production trump clean water.

My petition is about encouraging President Obama to continue the concern of gun violence in America. He talked about gun violence, gun control and the families impacted by this type of violence during the debate. I have also been personally impacted by gun violence when I lost my innocent 16-year-old son, Blair Holt, May 10,2007. President Obama, then an Illinois U.S. Senator seeking the democratic presidential nomination, called my cell to express his condolences to me.

Overturn the "citizen's united" ruling by te supreme court allowing unlimited corporate funding to influence elections and legislation.
