The midwest is in the middle of the worst drought in a half-century, destroying crops and pushing food prices higher. Despite the drought, ethanol plants continue to waste an average of 750,000 gallons of potable water EACH every day turning corn into ethanol.

Businesses (Public & Private), Schools, etc. closed to participate in an event that is more American than "apple pie". An event that assures we remain a DEMOCRACY!!

J. Edgar is the disgraced former director of the FBI. His misdeeds are legendary as are his violations of civil and Constitutional rights. It is a national disgrace and embarrassment that his name remains on the FBI Building in our nation's capitol. This petition is to encourage members of Congress to pass legislation removing J.Edgar Hoover's name from the FBI Building.

Political campaigns waste money on expensive media ads. That money could be used for for so many other good causes (see the recent NBC nightly news segment on this point from 8/16/12). I hereby will stop giving money to political campaigns and demand that a new system be implemented that will level the field: all information about political candidates will be disseminated only by their personal websites, party websites or news media interviews and stories. No more profit for big media from political ads! I will not contribute! Change the system now! Level the Field!

Yes, I have and Millions of more American's too have been effected by it.

I haven't heard a Dem ask why we should trust people who want to save our children's future by cutting funding for their education, I haven't heard a Dem point out that most families use deficit spending to buy a house, a car, finance an education, or feed the kids when there's no money in the till. Why the silence?

Abolish the use of partial cent prices on gasoline pumping stations.

Presidential Candidate, Mitt Romney.

For months, Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted has personally acted to restrict early voting in counties with large Democratic populations—casting tie-breaking votes to limit voting to weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. in urban areas like Franklin County, where in previous elections 82% of early voters did so on nights or weekends. Now, Secretary of State Husted said he is considering limiting early voting hours across the state in the run-up to the November election, and will "be listening to local boards of elections' concerns on this issue." We need to let local Boards of Elections across Ohio know that Ohioans support giving all registered voters equal opportunity to exercise their right to vote.

Voter ID laws are a new form of Poll tax that requires eligible voters to in effect pay a fee to vote. Please think about this and if you agree pass this message along to your state and federal representatives.

According to an article in the August 14 "Plain Dealer", Ohio's Sec. of State Husted is considering restricting voting hours all over our state to between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., exactly when most of us are working to earn a living. What is happening to our democratic way of life, for which thousands have given their lives, when public officials are actually trying to limit voting hours and therefore our voting rights?
