My neighbors are farmers in Arkansas, and like farmers all over the country, their hands are bound by a bad law left over from the 1930s that prevents the cultivation of industrial hemp. Growing hemp has too many advantages: -- its fiber: for the construction of cars and homes -- its cultivation and processing: jobs and more jobs for American farms and factories -- its oil: fueling cars, planes, and manufacturing all sorts of plastics -- it’s a substitute for trees! A single unit of land dedicated to hemp can make 4 times as much paper as trees, and they grow in just one year! Why import billions from Canada when we can grow it here at home?

40% of all women have "dense breast tissue" (a preponderance of fibroglandular vs. fatty tissue) meaning that a mammogram will routinely miss between 40% and 73% of cancers in these women. Despite this, if no cancer is detected, these women are told that their results are "normal." (More info at www.informwomen.org / www.inhqe.com) Each year, 40,000 to 50,000 women with dense breast tissue receive false "normal" results when a mammogram is unable to detect their cancer. Within 10 years, 10,000 of these women will die as a result of their delayed diagnosis. Most of these women are not aware that other readily available technologies can increase detection to 95%. We need Governor Cuomo to sign this bill (A9586D/S6769B, passed unanimously) which requires that women be notified of their breast tissue density and its impact on mammogram effectiveness.

Every citizen has the responsibility to vote. We need more people voting, not less. Many countries require citizens age 18-70 to vote (Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Bolivia, Greece, Mexico, Brazil, Peru). Even though it often is not enforced, voting is an acknowledged obligation of adult citizens. Voter ID should be defeated because it means fewer people will vote.

I'm starting this petition in hopes of getting rid of a complicated U.S. tax code and replacing it with one tax that punishes people and businesses who waste resources and pollute.

the military now gets over 50% of the tax revenues of the United States. We need to redirect a portion of this, first, to help the people in need in this country. It is unconscionable that in the wealthiest nation on earth, we cannot afford to fix our infrastructure, or help the poorest among us out of poverty; secondly, we need to use the military to help people of other countries rebuild their nations, not destroy them by dropping bombs and selling weapons.

I do not know where my local, county, state and federal tax money goes, do you? Would you like to know? So would I. Do you think your tax money is being wasted on war? How about aid to other countries when our country needs help? Do you think there is a lot of waste in Washington, your county, your town and state? Would you like to know in a simple and verifiable way how your tax money is being spent? Demand info by signing petition.

Viacom is pushing DIRECTV customers to pay more than a 30 percent increase, which equates to an extra $1 billion, despite the fact that the ratings for many of their main networks have plummeted and much of Viacom’s programming can be seen for free online,

The Summer Olympics held in London, England begin Friday, July 27, 2012, and end Sunday, August 12, 2012. Team U.S.A. will be wearing Uniforms that were Made In China. With so many Americans unemployed, tax breaks for companies that send jobs overseas and China's unfair trade policies. This is unacceptable and needs to be changed. Mitt Romney will be attending and he should speak out on this issue.
