The Deficit

AMERICANS OF ALL POLITICAL PERSUASIONS SHOULD DEMAND THE CONGRESS PASS THE PRESIDENT'S WORKS PROJECT BECAUSE IT'S A WIN/WIN PROPOSAL FOR THE ECONOMY, PUBLIC SAFETY AND CITIZENS WANTING TO WORK. IT WOULD RAISE BADLY NEEDED REVENUE, BOOST SPENDING AND ENABLE MEN AND WOMEN TO PROVIDE FOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR FAMILIES. SOME MIDDLE CLASS CONSERVATIVES MAY FEEL THEY CAN AFFORD TO VOTE AGAINST THEIR BEST INTEREST AND WILL SUPPORT THIS CONSERVATIVE POSTERING. IF SO, MAYBE THEY SHOULD THINK OF RELATIVESFRIENDS AND OTHERS UNDER WATER WITH THEIR HOMES AND CHILDREN'S FUTURE AND VOTE FOR A TEAM OF LEGISLATORS WHO BELIEVE IN DOING WHAT'S BEST FOR AMERICANS AND THE COUNTRY.

I’m lucky enough to be able to spend my retirement enjoying the beautiful beaches of Wilmington, North Carolina. But by the time my youngest grandkids have grown up, sea level rise caused by global warming pollution could put parts of Wilmington underwater. Instead of working to save North Carolina’s coast for future generations, legislators in my state are trying to pass laws officially ignoring the threat. The State Senate recently approved a bill that requires our state’s coastal commission to use only historical data to plan for sea level rise. So instead of assuming that the sea will rise 39 inches this century, as climate scientists predict, these legislators want to insist it will only rise 8 inches. The North Carolina House has suggested an alternative that’s only slightly less ridiculous: they want to pass a five-year moratorium on considering climate science in coastal planning. So the Senate wants to outlaw science, while the House wants to suspend it. These proposals are the brainchild of group called NC-20, which wants to ignore sea level rise predictions because it will slow down real estate development. Amazingly, the group’s chairman denies that climate change is even occurring, saying, “Why not wait a few years until global cooling resurfaces?” Places like Wilmington are already facing more frequent flooding and the destruction of homes, wetlands, and ecosystems. Our legislators are elected to protect us from these threats. Instead, they're siding with climate change deniers, and simply hoping things will cool down. We can’t afford to ignore science, and we shouldn’t wait five years to start preparing. Tell your State Representative: oppose any bill that refuses to acknowledge established climate science and sea level rise predictions.

One-third of homeowners are underwater with their mortgage. That's 22,500,000 Americans stuck in limbo. 22,500,000 Americans who could be boosting the economy, if they could. Don't they deserve to be made whole also?

HAVING THOSE ELECTED TO REPRESENT FELLOW AMERICAN CITIZENS (LOCAL, STATE AND NATIONALLY), TO GUAGE THEIR SUPPORT FOR THE PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SECTOR IN PROPORTION TO WHAT THEY PAY THEMSELVES; AFTER ALL, WE'RE FELLOW TAXPAYERS, ENTITLED TO EQUITABLE BENEFITS FOR OUR LABOR AND FAMILIES TOO!

I am petitioning out of concern for those like myself whom are burdened with this. Being economically and financially unstabled with no relief in sight - to overcome the matter at hand. An escalating/unsurmontable debt is disstroying the well-being of individuals and the very fabric that entwines them!!! Very Sincerely' Your Constituents

Sign the petition to help bring an end to poverty.

Police shoot and injure civilians, and endanger whole communities with recklessness shooting and driving choosing to blame civilians when they make mistakes. The judiciary and prosecuting attorney improperly divide the word, overlooking evidence and the opportunity to throw out police claims in these instances making it possible for cities to slide by instead of honoring claims for wrongful shootings.

Tell Rep. Marguerite Quinn, of the 143rd Assembly District, one of the architects of Act 13, passed in the PA state legislature that this cannot stand. Act 13 strips away our local zoning laws, enforces a "gag order" on our doctors, and allows drilling and open impoundment pits of fracking waste that threaten to pollute our ground, water and air for ourselves, our children and generations to come.

The oath that every elected official takes when he or she is sworn into office Grover Norquist is a rich business man who finance's mostly the tea party candidates election campaigns or any Republican that will sign his pleage or oath not to ever raise tax's period no matter how the country is doing.

because this underwater sound will DEAFEN 11,200 ceteceans and KILL 1,600 marine mammals....not OK in my book.....
