Waukegan has a Daytime truancy law that states no child is allowed in public during school hours, unless they are with a parent or school official. You may not give your child permission to be out in public for any reason without you, and according to Public schools you also do not have the right to take them out of school unless the are sick or there is a religious holiday, effectively taking your rights as a parent away and denying children their 1st amendment rights.

I am concerned about lies in poltical ads. Lies about how well the economy is doing, in comparison to when Obama took office.

The youngest generation cannot vote, but they are standing up for their futures and need to know that our candidates will reduce our use of fossil fuels. All candidates need to address the climate crisis for the sake of our children.

I would like to see our legislators on the same page as the people they represent especially in the areas of health care and retirement. I signed a petition similar to this one a year or so ago. what happened to it? This is something that all Americans can agree on. It's ridiculous that our legislators in MI get their full salaries for for retirement for serving in the MI house or senate. Legislators would not be so anxious to cut SS or cut health benefits if it effected them personally.

This Petition is about JUSTICE and FREEDOM in the United States, a nation beset by fascistic power-grabbing cabals involving violators of law, the US Constitution and international conventions on human rights, such as Bush eminence grise Karl Rove, Governor Tom Corbett of Pennsylvania, Judge Dale Wells of California, and Judges Kline and Tylwalk of Pennsylvania. The international community should insist that President Obama pardon Don Siegelman immediately, and appoint a FIST Prosecutor for any States in which the people request an emergency bypass around the atherosclerotic heart of Government, the US Justice Department.

I am a life-long Kansan and I feel our state officials that sit on the Kansas Objections Board are embarrassing our state by not rejecting out of hand the notion that Barack Obama is not a citizen. They are considering removal of his name from the ballot and meet again this Monday, September 17th, to consider the matter further. I want the board to reject the challenge brought to them that President Obama does not have the right to be on our state's ballot this November.

Petition Congress to have their benefits converted to the Social Security/Medicare system. By their participation, all legislation regarding Social Security and Medicare would effect them directly. By merging their benefits, additional revenue would be gained into the much needed Social Security Fund. As a senior on a fixed income, I have paid into the system my whole life. I fear now that the money I invested is at risk and at the mercy of those who are not directly effected by their decisions. Cuts in benefits will greatly hurt the elderly and handicapped, the most vulnerable people in our society. Make Congress accountable.

Ohioans are disgusted to learn that a lobbyist and former employee of Josh Mandel is running the dark group that has raised over $1 million to viciously attack his opponent, Senator Sherrod Brown. Allowing and encouraging these kinds of attack ads behind the scenes is unfair and misleading. I have followed Senator Brown's career and know him to be an honest, caring Congressman who does not deserve to be slandered in this manner.

Governor Bentley is challenging the recent decision by a federal court that labeled controversial elements of the new state immigration law unconstitutional. The law is basically detrimental to the state of Alabama as well as to those who are adversely effected by it.

At first pageants were just cute kids in frilly outfits, but now it has turned into kids pretending to smoke, dressing as strippers, even padded breasts are now the norm. Kids are often seen kicking,screaming,and BEGGING for there moms to stop with the make up and spray on tans! We need to change this.

State and local governments frequently give massive tax breaks and financial incentives to attract corporations to locate in their region. The loss of tax revenue is made up by citizens. Corporations have all the bargaining power by making different locales a competitive market for incentive tax relief. This Act would not allow any local or state tax breaks or incentives to be paid to corporations.

MS attacks the most productive members of society, including my 44 year old son. It slowly debilitates them physically, mentally and emotionally until they become invalids. Funding and research is fragmented. Until a global consortium that shares research and funding is created, a cause and cure will never be found. Pharmaceutical companies will only fund medicines that will make profit. A cause and cure is needed now. You never know when MS will decimate your family. Vote for cooperation.
