"As a music journalist with deep Arts & Entertainment contacts who could use a long term, on-going, life sustaining regular paycheck including safe, adequate housing & healthcare it's self evident that musicians properly coordinated, rallying for a cause can & do make a fiscal & social difference. Initiate now a national referendum to immediately create ongoing & forever national, regional, local resources with help from, by & with the music biz to address each community's specialized needs (jobs-health care-education-housing)"

We the people, need to limit all terms in Congress to one term because all Americans have been affected by the cozy relationship between large corporations and OUR government! The people need to make this pass by voting out anyone who tries to shelf this amendment.

The Post Office "losses" are due to a poison pill bill passed to prefund retiree health benefits for the next 75 years! Some can not stand that P.O. is color blind in hiring--too many "minorities" are getting good paying jobs because civil service exams can not discriminate.They want to close post offices and lay off hundreds of thousands of hard working employees. Also, Veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan should get extra bonus points so they can be hired. Benjamin Franklin understood how important the P.O. is to our democracy. We can not let this institution be privatized.

The proposed East West Utility Corridor from Calais, ME to Coburn Gap, ME feasibility study (postponement bill in legislature in ME) needs to have an environmental impact and a cultural Maine impact (eco-tourism, farming, retirement communities and way life should be. If you agree sign this petition.

The lies Republicans candidates utter regarding the energy policy President Obama put in place. Wallstreet journal, Citibank nd many more investment analyst are showing data how many wells were drilled during Obama's presidency, and yes already producing. The cautiosu President Obama knows how the "rich energy companies" have contracted the Chinese to produce to pipelines, the Indians to procude the ceramic covers for te pipes, ofcourse cheaper but untested or regulated. Great fr the republicans to keep the job market LOW and expose the general public to the dangers of explosions. So outsourcing and financing those Billionaires is more important than job and safety.

Gov. Romney refuses to produce more than 2 yrs. returns, yet his father produced 12 years. Gov. Romney submitted 10 or more years of returns to Sen.McCain when Romney was considered for V.P. Why not give those same returns tothe American people?

I and many of you are waking up everyday facing foreclosures, repossesions, bankruptcies, utilities being cut off and not being able to put food on the table. The government has bailed out corporate America time and time again. I believe that its time for the government to bail out all Americans that are struggling day to day. If the government would allow a one time debt forgiveness for all of us, based upon our current income the amount of debt that we have all accumulated we would could all sleep a lot better at night and not be afraid to answer the phone in fear of bill collectors.

Public transportation after bar time on weekends. Portland Oregon has a great night life. It is surprising hat such a modern city does not have public transportation after midnight. it just makes a lot of sense to have one last max( street train) or Bus on every line so that people can use. Even if its wrong people still drink and drive, that is a reality if people could simply take public transportation and not take the risk of causing or being in an accident or getting a DUI. plus not have to deal with parking would also be a good selling point for getting party people of the roads. One last run of public transportation will surely prevent accidents. Even if it was only one accident prevented it would be worth it.

Let's start with challenging the two US presidential contenders to pledge 60% (or more) from their resective ad campaigns towards retiring THE DEBT. If this could be accomplished challenge every US household to commit $5 per month towards the same goal. I believe that once people are convinced that our leaders hold the country's interests above their own politrical aspirations and greed, our citizens will want to contribute. This is an update to JFK's challenge: Ask not what your country can do for you - ask what YOU can do for your country!

WE THE PEOPLE; YOUR HEALTHCARE WORKERS; YOUR SENIORS, VETS; DISABLED; WANT HUMAN LIVES EXCLUDED FROM YOUR POLITICS; THESE ARE HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS THAT HAVE HAPPENED OVER THE PAST 4 YEARS BY BOTH PARTIES AND ATTORNEYS ALIKE

Fresno's mayor and some city council members want to privatize--sell off--residential solid waste (our city trash service). They claim it will be good for the city and for ratepayers, but the truth is, rates will skyrocket and service will suffer. It's an ill-advised backdoor tax we can't afford.

In Myanmar,there is a military Budhist govt which is constantly carrying on the ethnic cleansing of its Muslim minority in Rohingya area.These people are not given citizenship.They have been living there for few hundred years.
