In 2004 and 2008, Nathan Sproul and his company were hired by the Republican National Committee. Their "job" was the elimination of many thousands of Democratic registrations via disposal, destruction, and disinformation...as well as fabricating many Republican registrations. All of this has been enough to shift state voting results. Late last year, the Romney campaign hired him to similarly poison this year’s election. Fortunately, Florida officials recently discovered and exposed his tricks, and a criminal investigation is under way in that state. THAT’S NOT ENOUGH. Since Sproul was hired to work in numerous states, that makes it a national conspiracy , and thus calls for a Federal (i.e. Dep’t. of Justice) investigation and action. The voters need to know about this scheme as soon as possible. If Attorney General Holder held a press conference to announce an investigation and explain the scheme (including the RNC’s repeated hiring of Sproul), the nation’s voters would finally know what’s been done to our elections - and is, again - and who’s behind it. WE MUST MAKE THIS HAPPEN BEFORE THIS ELECTION. So, as soon as you can, please sign this petition, spread it out, and GET IT MULTIPLIED AS MUCH AS YOU CAN.

Please sign the petition so that this can stop happening! It was all over the news today. Burger King is one of our clients!

I doubt that H.R. 4170 will pass, so I have a better idea on how to deal with student debt and the staggering 54.3% unemployment/underemployment rate for recent graduates. My solution is to permanently lower student loan interest rates to between 1 - 3% for all borrowers including borrowers before 2011 who are paying a 6.8% - 8.5% interest rates (the new 3.4% doesn't apply to older borrowers). In conjunction with lowered interest rates, provide a 5 year moratorium on all student loans without collecting interest. This will provide major debt relief to those under 30, allowing salaries to rise while the most vulnerable in society get some time to get real work experience. Once the 5 years are up, these students will have salaries large enough to pay back all of their debt without further hurting their long-term purchasing power. This solution also emphasizes full debt repayment rather than relying on the public service student forgiveness options which only further exacerbate public spending. I believe my solution will not only fix the student debt problem, it will also kick start the economy and prevent the Millennial generation from falling even further behind.

There is far too much noise from unnecessary honking in the Flatbush-Junction area. Much of this noise can be attributed to Dollar vans and taxis honking to attract customers, as well as impatient drivers and poor traffic patterns.

Members of Congress generally treat the issue of health care as a purely academic debate, since they have rock-solid, top of the line health care built into their salaries. While they are entitled to excellent health care, so is every human being. My wife and I buy the best health care we can afford, but even so are immensely frustrated by it. We are constantly nickel-and-dimed with co-pays, partial payments, and denials. Let members of Congress also play by the same rules: eliminate their special plan, force them to shop in the same health care market the rest of us do, and let's see how health care legislation changes.

The Illinois Supreme Court determined earlier this year that Citizens Opposing Pollution cannot enforce the Illinois Surface Mining Reclamation and Conservation Act such that Exxon has been allowed to poison the Pearl Sand Aquifer in Clinton County, Illinois with 422 acres of permanently impounded coal production waste slurry that is constantly leeching hazardous constituents into the groundwater which can no longer be used as drinking water by the local residents and farmers. Secretary of Interior, Kenneth Salazar, has the power to enforce the identical federal law and force Exxon Mobil Coal USA to remove and properly dispose of their hazardous coal production waste. We are calling on Secretary Salazar to enforce the federal law so that Exxon cannot continue to poison the Pearl Sand Aquifer.

It is truly scary what we have recently learned about sitting US congressmen's beliefs about matters of science -- things that GOP House Science Committee congressmen Paul Broun (GA) and Todd Akin (MO) (and others) believe that are at odds with uncontroversial tenets of science, like the age of the earth (billions of years old, not 9000), or that a woman's body cannot defend itself against pregnancy caused by rape. While (as much as we might like to) we can't impose an IQ test on candidates for office, or make scientifically valid beliefs a condition of serving in Congress, we need to know about core beliefs of would-be candidates for national offices -- whether they are rational, or bordering on insane. While we cannot legislate the availability of such information, we should be able to expect that reporters and journalists will ferret out such information in their normal pursuit of profitable news and in pursuit of recognition for journalistic excellence.

This petitiion relates to how this company continues to offer this product to customers who purchase a General Motors vehicle knowing that it cannot assist in emergency situations. I have been a subscriber to Onstar with my business vehicles for more than 10 years, In June 7, 2010, my daughter who had diabetes was driving from Nashville to Memphis and became ill. She parked the vehicle at milemarker 152 and rested for several hours. She called out to Onstar at 10:16 am and no help was ever sent to the vehicle. She was found two hours later dead by the state troopers.

An opportunity like this doesn’t come along often. On Election Day, voters will have a chance to take a huge step in the shift from dirty energy to clean, renewable energy. Proposition 3 would require utilities to get 25% of Michigan’s electricity from renewable sources, like wind and solar, by 2025. Passing Prop 3 would dramatically reduce pollution from coal-fired power plants, which is a leading cause of asthma attacks and lung disease. Overcoming the influence of our coal-burning utilities to get our state to 25% renewable energy by 2025 isn’t going to be easy. At this point, I’m sure you’ve seen their misleading TV ads and mailings. It’s gotten so bad that Consumers Energy actually stuffed their utility bills with a flyer urging customers to vote no on Prop 3. The stakes are too high to let them get away with this. Can I count on you to vote YES on Prop 3?

Representative Paul Broun from the House Committee of Science, Space and Technology recently gave a speech at a banquet in which he made statements that condemn scientific advances and claim them to be false and ploys of Satan! He said "All that stuff that I was taught about evolution and embryology and Big Bang Theory, all that is lies strait from the pit of hell. And it's lies to try to keep me and all the folks who are taught from understanding that they new a savior." This is not acceptable rhetoric for a member of the Congressional Science committee. His thoughts and feelings are his own and protected and he is entitled to his own beliefs, but when his beliefs begin to put at danger the rights of the American public then he should not be placed in position that would allow for such a conflict of interests.

It is up to us to put an end to our fossil fuels addiction. We are needed to inspire the Obama administration to create a National Energy Policy, based on renewable wind and solar power, for the environment and future generations! Our country deserves this, for our health!
