This program needs to be reviewed and changed. The program was supposed to rehabilitate patients released from State Hospitals into the community and become self supporting but thats not the case specifically in the Los Angeles CONREP program. The patients are kept forever and no one has been recommended by the program to be restored to sanity. Those restored are through the Courts without the programs recomendation after costing them and the State hugh amounts of money to fight their cases. The funds utilised by the program is a waste of Dept of Mental Health Funds which is disproportionately spent on a small % of the mentally ill and could be effectively spent on a greater % of the mentally ill who are in need more than those receiving it. CONREP makes patients dependent on on SSI, Medical, and the Program etc eventhough they are ready to become independent. This Program needs to be investigated and reforms are needed sonner, to help the patients become independent. The actual Patients in the Program need to be interviewed and protected from any retaliation to really know the truth about the Program. Eliminate the waste of funds in this Program through proper investigations. The patients are intimidated and frightened to speak due to consequences if they speak out. The statistics about the program are also flawed and incorrect.

Dolphins and whales use their hearing for survival and to find food. The Navy uses high frequency underwater sound for testing in the Hawaiian Islands and in CA. This deafens these animals and others. They die as a result. Please sign this petition so the Navy will STOP using these devices and thus killing these innocent creatures of God!

Give Money from our budget surplus to open up Recreation Centers for our children to have a safe haven . Get them off the streets. Provide meaningful activities ,and mentoring for our children. Our children have been killed while sitting on the steps by stray bullets. We are calling on the Mayor and City Government to protect our children ; invest our tax dollars into their safety. " Please".

Many people are incarcerated in the Cook County Jail for driving on suspended revoked in Illinois and they need help instead of incarceration. The jail is so full of drivers that have done nothing except for driving on suspended and some have never even had a license. The jail could use this room for more serious crimes and the people could use a program to help them get their license. We need some laws changed to cut down on the number of persons incarcerated.

My petition is about reinstating a law passed in 1933 that prevented investment banks and commercial banks from merging. When this law was in place from 1933 to 1999 our country had many years of economic growth and prosperity.

ROMNEY = NO JOBS!!!

The Federal Reserve is not a Federal government institution, but is a privatized corporate entity, which is directed by the Federal government to print money out of thin air, and increase the debt which we are forever paying increasing inflationary prices on !!!!! Support Ron Paul, and your local Liberty Caucus groups, to Audit The Fed!!!!! Thank You

Killing and terrorizing innocent citizens in al qaida-like fashion is classical terrorism. There should be no double standards.

Publicly elected representatives (such as congress) should be prohibited from signing declarations pledging allegience to positions crafted by individuals such as Grover Norquist. He is among other things known for the "Taxpayer Protection Pledge", which was signed by 95% of all Republican Congressmen and all but one of the 2012 Republican presidential candidates, to oppose increases in marginal income tax rates for individuals and businesses.

Being a native Vermonter, I have a natural appreciation for the beauty in my home state. This could change drastically should a tar sands pipeline be built here. Just the deforestation required to maintain the pipeline would be a travesty in this beautiful State. A leak in the pipeline would pose a direct risk to local species and our water supply.

Amendments and proposed laws are often written using obtuse wording that can be construed in several different ways. In physics, the laws of thermodynamics are set out in plain, simple language. If elected officials can't present state laws and amendments simply, then they should not be in a position to write state laws and amendments.
