While the government insists that cannibis needs to remain a Schedule1 drug, it simultaneously holds patent #6,630,507 which clearly outlines all the medical benefits of the herb. The people deserve an explanation regarding these contradicting stances.

Mandate that Special Hiring Coordinators, charged with achieving President Obama's 7% goal of the percentage of disabled employees in the federal workforce, actually submit the resumes of the disabled for positions PRE-PUBLICATION as recommended by OPM guidelines. Currently, these coordinators refer disabled candidates to USA.jobs to compete with able bodied, and current federal employees. Despite 25 years of solid IT experience, I have applied for over 100 federal jobs and have not received ONE interview. I am Schedule A disabled. Despite over 20 years of solid experience and a graduate degree, and over 100 federal applications, my wife has received MANY "referred but not selected" notices. She is Schedule A disabled. Selective Hiring Coordinators should present the resumes of the disabled as recommended by the OPM. You can't maintain a vibrant federal workforce with the best and brightest from diverse applicants, without allowing experienced people a fair chance.

A&P Supermarkets just emerged from bankruptcy. Anyone injured in their stores is being offered five cents on the dollar, a figure which doesn't even pay the medical bills. I am injured for life and facing expensive stem cell treatment, which is not covered by insurance. Thousands of people are in my position.

If you want to hold a government office in The USA and determine its laws, you should believe enough in our country to leave your money in it! Financial parasites affect the health of our economy negatively. In for a penny, in for a pound.

Legalize Marijuana for personal use, with tax proceeds for rehab programs for all substance use disorders

To insure valid counting of ballots during the November presidential election, PLEASE pledge to vote by PAPER BALLOT ONLY. The 2000 and 2004 elections contained too many discrepancies to put the presidency in the crosshairs of those extreme corporations that manufacture the electronic voting machines.

Religion has affected far too much of policy and lawmaking in this country. It has caused divisiveness , bias against women and minorities, and there are far to many polititians eho rum on religiuos platforms in political office who tout their religious views as policy goals. Keep the church out of government policy making or strip them of their tax free status. Do not allow lawmakers to use their personal religious beliefs to make law or policy decisions

I am petitioning the government to establish a North American water works system to distribute fresh water throughout North America to end droughts forever.

Wall Street bankers with Ivy League pedigrees can manipulate an $800 trillion interest rate market and destroy the lives and livelihoods of millions of good, hardworking people around the globe, and not go to jail or anything. But if you get caught with a joint, you are thrown in jail and you get a record. Creating a system a more just system ought to be what democracy is about rather than who can plunder the commons. This election season is full of the most cynical and sinister pandering that I have ever seen in my life.

Paul Ryan has long wanted to ban access to abortion even in the case of rape -- this is equivalent to being raped again. To take away a woman's control over the consequences of being raped reflects an extreme lack of compassion. Does this man have a heart?!

I believe that Barack Obama set a precedent by being forced to show his birth certificate. Due to his integrity by sharing it, I believe all candidates for President, House of Representatives, and the Senate of the United States must follow suit and show the American public their birth certificate. This way we can decide if it is real or not.

Trying to find the truth in all the political rhetoric.
