California law does not allow homeowners to size their Solar systems larger than what they use. In order to get the California Solar Initiative (CSI) rebate, the customer is not allowed to install a system that inherently over-produces more than what is needed for his home. We need to get our homes ready for Electrical Vehicles. Our California Residential Feed-In Tariff should start out at 50 cents per kilowatt hour, 5 cents per kilowatt hour to the Utility for use of the Grid, 45 cents per kilowatt hour going to the Home Owner. A California Commercial FiT in Los Angeles, Palo Alto and Sacramento, CA. is operating NOW, paying the Business Person 17 cents cents per kilowatt hour. The California Public Utility commission can change the FIT to payment levels that are differentiated appropriately, and distribute the solution to all tax-paying citizens, who should not be deliberately handcuffed. Residential homeowners should be allowed to oversize their Renewable Energy systems and participate in the State mandated goal to achieve 33% Renewable Energy by 2020. Due to these laws, we have automatically taken out over 8 million Residential Home Owners who would generate over 6,000 MW of power; that's 2.25 San Onofre nuclear power plants. We need to let our Hard Working, Tax Paying, Voting, Law Abiding, Home Owning Citizens in on a Feed-In Tariff, and allow Homeowners to oversize their Renewable Energy Systems. "Right now the course of our future is being set by the fossil fuel industry, the most powerful corporations in the history of the world, and they’re steering us off a cliff into a raging inferno. They fight each day to blow up more mountains for coal, demolish more land and oceans for oil and shatter more of the ground beneath our feet by fracking for oil and gas with a cocktail of the most toxic chemicals known to humankind. With each passing day that these interests set our course, with every additional ton of greenhouse gases emitted like a poison in our atmosphere, the drier the ink becomes on the bleak future written by the fossil fuel industry. That future is one where oceans drown our coastal homes and cities, where biodiversity is diminished. It’s a future where droughts will parch our agricultural fields and allow wildfires to run rampant. It’s a future where clean, freshwater will be among the world’s scarcest resources, and where smog and pollution suffocate our lungs and the planet’s. Given the fossil fuel industry’s seemingly unlimited money and political influence, changing their course and taking control of our future is a tall order. But again, we must. And all of you, can make the choices that lead you to seize that control. I can tell you how significant a difference each of us can make, how important the choices we make can be and the power we have in this country." John Armstrong

Take a stand and let Caifornia (specifically, the Coachella Valley) know where you stand on the issue of Mitt Romney and his view of then 47%. Where do you stand and what are your specific views? You always follow party lines with your voting record...what do YOU think and what do YOU plan to do?

The medicinal marijuana plant can be used as a cheaper alternative to produce fuel,paper,food,oil,textiles,housing, and inspiration. George Washington and Thomas Jefferson grew it as they established our country! Decriminalizing the use of Hemp and Cannabis can save us $7 billion dollars a year and can produce thousands of jobs! Legalize it and tax it to profit our nation!

Many of us are offended that Romney's claim that 47% of Americans are victims living on help from the government. We reject this. Many of us are unable to work because of some disability, or we are too old, too ill, or are a wounded veteran coming home from one of the wars. We do not want to be called victims. I think Romney needs to give an apology.

Rep. Jeff Flake needs publicly to reject Mitt Romney's offensive claim that 47% of the American public are "victims" dependent on the government.

Remove the cap on social security taxes. By removing the wage cap on social security, years of funding would be added to the social security fund.

this is about fairness and equality.every candidate in every election should have the exact same amount of funding.period no exceptions.any person caught breaking these rules or corrupting or circumventing these [strict and unmistakable election procedures] will be tried and sent to prison for fraud and corruption.all forms of bribery/lobbying must be stopped.

Our petition is about being against bullying/cyberbullying. we have been effected in the past by bullies. Thats why we come on strong about this.

I am an unwilling participant (through taxes) of massive aid to Israel. From 2009 to 2018, the US is scheduled to give Israel–the largest recipient of U.S. Assistance–$30 billion in military aid. Through its illegal 44-year military occupation of the Palestinian West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Gaza Strip, Israel misuses US weapons in violation of US law to kill end injure Palestinian civilians, destroy Palestinian civilian infrastructure, blockade theGaza Strip, and build illegal settlements in West Bank and East Jerusalem.

The petition is about the concern about increasing prices of gas and other things that we need to live and to get to work. It effects us economically.

Mitt Romney needs to come clean with the American people and release his tax returns. He had his vice presedential candidate submit ten years and Romney needs to do the same. If he is elected, then it is too late to get this information out to the public.

Jackson Public School students and parents are calling for the immediate adoption of the Mississippi Student Bill of Rights by their schools. The MS SBR's articulate ten rights that all MS students should have in their schools. For too long our rights have been consistently and routinely violated; this must stop immediately and the protections of MS SBR must be adopted by our schools. Students deserve the right to be treated humanely, with respect, free from discrimination and prejudice as they pursue their education. Students deserve exceptional teachers, administrators, and other staff who's first goal is always the best interest of the students. Students deserve resources and information that will provide us with opportunities to achieve our full potential. The school environment must be a conducive place for learning and achieving, not a place of criminalization and penalization. Students are the future of MS, we should be treated as such if this state is to succeed and prosper. Adopting the MS SBR is a necessary and critical step in achieving all of this for JPS students. Mississippi Student Bill of Rights PREAMBLE: We, the students of Mississippi, in order to have the greatest chances for success, have defined ten critical areas that will prepare us for our future. We commit to engaging our school, community, and state leaders on these issues so that – together – we can create a better Mississippi for all. 1. Equal Opportunity: We must be treated equally regardless of race, class, gender, sexual orientation, and disability. We must have full funding for public education and access to healthcare. Equal, quality education and healthcare must be provided for all of us. 2. Safety: Every school must be a safe and supportive place for learning. Police in our schools should protect us from harm and not be misused to enforce zero tolerance policies against us. Find alternatives to the harsh overuse of zero tolerance policies that do not criminalize typical student behavior. Educate us don’t incarcerate us. 3. Sex Education: We deserve access to medically accurate, comprehensive information about sex, teen pregnancy, and STD/Is and how these things affect our bodies and communities. It is hard to find comprehensive information about our bodies because curriculums like Abstinence Only/Plus are not sufficient. 4. Respect: Treat us as key partners in changing our schools by ending the overly harsh disciplinary practices and policies that push youth into the School to Prison Pipeline. The reliance on this creates a prison-like environment that takes away our power to positively influence our schools and communities. Educate us through positive behavior methods and alternatives to suspensions, expulsions, and arrests. 5. The Best Teachers: We deserve accurate, fair, and non-biased standardized testing by investing in alternatives that teach us and not just test us. Provide us with the best, most highly qualified teachers who inspire quality results in reading, writing, science, math, art, history and music. 6. Tools: Provide us with the resources needed to learn: books, lab supplies, musical instruments, art supplies, computers, and the latest educational technology that will help us be competitive in the 21st century. 7. Leadership: We hold all leaders accountable for vision, courage, and results. We will do this by actively participating and encouraging our leaders to do what is best for us; nothing about us without us. 8. Extracurriculars: We deserve out of school activities to expand our opportunities and skills that give us safe, fun, and enriching places to be when not in school and opportunities for quality employment. 9. Starting Younger: We deserve quality pre-Kindergarten education. Kindergarten should be the next step, not the first step, in education. 10. Ready for Life: Our diplomas must not just be a piece of paper. Our leaders must take the necessary steps to ensure that our diploma means that we’re ready for college, work, and life.
