Senator Pat McCarran was a legendarily corrupt, racist supporter of fascist governments. His name should not be on Las Vegas' portal to the rest of the world. Senator Harry Reid has spent his working life serving the people of Nevada and the United States. He is a quiet and humble man, but his accomplishments deserve to be recognized for all time.

Condeleezza Rice was cheered wildly when she spoke at the Republican National Convention. Rice repeated the lie about us attacking Iraq because Saadam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. Scholars at John Hopkins University reported after conducted a door to door survey in Iraq in 2006 that some 690,000 innocent civilians had been murdered. Bush and his cronies should be tried for a crime against humanity.

Education is not just a benefit for the wealthy, or a blunt instrument powered by "special interests", it's an investment by, and for, the growth of the larger society. The legislature has already shown a willingness to divert foreclosure-assistance money from its intended purpose, and Arizona's underfunded schools can't afford more of the same. Public education made my life possible...will it be there for tomorrow's kids?

Paul Ryan is successfully lying to the American people, despite requests for him to stop by many Republican leaders and national media including Fox News. Polling already shows that last week's lies by Ryan and the five different major TV ads in key states have moved 10% more support for Republicans to improve Medicare. Such lying must be confronted by as many Americans as possible and stopped by the Republicans.

My petition would be about term limits for Federal Senators and Representatives in the House. This affects all of us. Unlimited terms contributes to elected officials becomeing more and more beholden to the big money lobbyists. It is easier for new 'blood' to get into oour Congress.

The campaigning has lasted almost 2 years with constant ads on television and calls on our phones. This is an entire invasion of my privacy. I pay for my home, my tv, my satellite service and my phones. I have registered with the do-not-call list. Yet these things are dominated by constant campaigning that I do not care to listen to and do not want invading my life. There should be a limit of 2 months prior to election for campaigning and politician should not have access to our phone numbers.

Lowering future student debt, making it more harmonious with the fact that most newly graduates are unable to find well paid jobs in the competitive market that emphasizes not only education but Experience which recent graduates do not posses. In addition, not finding a well paid full-time job will only lead to the interest compounding and adding to the total student debt, which in some cases will make it difficult to make a dent and and live a descent life at the same time.

There have been repeated reports that Israel plans to bomb Iran, and Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney implies he would support such a war. A Pentagon study find that it would involve the United States in a wider regional war.

This pettition is about getting pay raises for state employees that work for the MVA. We have not had a raise in over 5 yrs and that includes a COLA (cost of living) raise. Its sad that as employee of the MVA, you cant even qualify for a one bedroom apartment in the state of Maryland! Billions of dollars are being used for other things that are not needed like a memorial on the eastern shore for the state, why? You have to pay your workers especially if they have a security clearance!

A solution to legislators sneaking in ethical loopholes into legislation or legislation having unintended consequences or ways for one to violate the spirit of a law without violating the letter of the law.

Abu Ali has been denied his final appeal by the U.S. Supreme Court and now faces execution, even though no court has ever stated that he received a fair trial. Lionell Barrett, Abu Ali's defense counsel, and one of the most prominent criminal defense lawyers in Tennessee's history, has said, "Abu Ali is on death row because of me. I failed him." The prosecutor lied to Abu Ali's attorney when he stated that a previous conviction of Abu Ali resulted from "a turf war in prison between two gangs as to who would control the drug trade in the prison." In fact, the previous conviction resulted from Abu Ali being victimized by sexual predators. Mitigating evidence that was not presented to the trial jury includes Abu Ali's lifelong abuse by others which has resulted in his suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Abu Ali was wearing a wool black coat at the time of the murder. Even though copious quantities of blood were splattered in the vicinity of the victim, no blood was found on Abu Ali's coat by the TBI crime lab. Abu Ali has an impeccable prison record, has pursued educational opportunities, and has excelled in leadership of other prisoners. The only hope for Abu Ali's life to be saved is for Governor Haslam to commute his death sentence. To learn more about Abu Ali and his case, please visit www.abu-ali.org
