The Navy deafening 18000 whales and dolphins is ludicrous. Surely man has advanced enough to have alternatives to advancements in science that do not decimate populations of species that are essential to our ecosystems.

America's wild horses are once again threatened with becoming meals for foreign interests. Despite 80% of Americans wanting to protect our wild horses, they are still in danger.

Doing away with the EC

This is a petition that law be written to enact a national land value tax on behalf of the poor, the environment and the preservation of our country as the great bastion and vanguard of liberty and light in the world, the inspiration for peace. Land value taxation discourages land price speculation, the profitability of which raises the cost of living to the maximum amount society can bear, but produces zero goods or services, causing the increasing wealth and income disparities plaguing our country and the unnecessary destruction of our environment.

Military retirees and their dependents (such as myself and wife) are eligible for "Space Available" flights on Air Mobility Command aircraft. Only otherwise wasted seats are used. Of the six category levels of "Space A" eligibility, I'm only asking that my level, the 6th and lowest, be expanded to include veterans rated by the Department of Veterans Affairs as 100% service connected disabled. My wife and I have flown to England, Germany, California, Ohio, Maryland, etc. via Space A as Category 6 passengers. How unfair it is that those who gave everything but their lives for their Country, that were medically separated and did not have a chance to retire from the military, are not eligible for Space A. Extending this benefit to these totally disabled veterans would cost NOTHING! Remember, only otherwise wasted seats are used for Space A, and all the administrative systems are already in place and operational.

Billionaire Jim Davis, billionaire CEO of New Balance Athletic Shoes, has given $1 million to Romney's super PAC. Every sneaker you buy from New Balance could go to Romney's election. Please tell them to stop!

Most of the money for political campaigns buys advertising to influence how a person votes. If voters have already made up their minds how they will vote, the need for big money is greatly reduced.

Encourage jobs and increased earnings for Americans by rescinding the tax collected on SSI benefits, paid to retirees who return to work and earn more than $13,000/yr. in new wages.

My name's Pepe and I make $8.50 per hour -- barely enough to get by on in South Florida. On July 4th, I had the opportunity to ask Bill Young, the man who represents me in Congress, if he might support raising the minimum wage. His response, before walking away: "GET A JOB." Bill Young is out of touch and doesn't understand how the minimum wage impacts my life. Yet he doesn't have any problem increasing his own wage on the backs of taxpayers. I recently found out that he voted to increase his own salary to nearly $175,000! Join me in asking Congressman Young for an apology and a real answer about why he doesn't support raising the minimum wage.

Getting money and its influence out of politics.
