Republican obstructionism, led by Sen Mitch McConnell of Tennesse in the senate and by John Boehner of Ohio in the House, has held up many bills such as the President Obama's Jobs Bill package. This bill would help our economy and help many folks who are suffering right now with unemployment and reduced work hours. We need living wage jobs in this country RIGHT NOW! Let Mitch McConnell and John Boehner know that what they are doing through fillibuster and obstruction is hurting the country. Let them know that by their obstructionism that they are NOT being good Americans. Let them know that their goal of keeping President Obama a one term President, something Sen. McConnell is proud of stating, is really hurting our country and is a treasonist statement!

Our children are suffering higher insidents of breathing problems these days.I would like to ban leaf blowers and compressed air blowers as the dust created from these devices are bad for our health.I liken it to second hand smoke. Example 1: Compressed air was used to clean the decks of welding debris,chop saw dust (galvanized metal) and other hazardess materials.This debris was blown out into the atmosphere of San Jose Ca.This went on for 18 floors. Example 2:I watched 5 little children playing in there fenced in yard.The gardener at the house next door began to blow.In the light of the sun I could see the dust envelope the children. The people in the city,the little children should not have to breath in debris from these blowers.It is time to get back to the rake and the room!

Repeal of Citizens United is absolutely vital to sustain a true democracy in the United States. The ability of those wealthy few powerful sources to BUY elections in any sector of the government without complete transparency, whether local, state or national, is not consistent with democratic rule.

For too long the Hispanics in Texas have been ignored or taken for granted.

It is NOT the schools failing the children. It IS the Chicago Board of education failing our schools. Chicago needs a school board ELECTED BY THE PEOPLE "NOT" APPOINTED BY THE MAYOR!!! Chicago is the ONLY school district without an elected school board. That Election should be funded by tax dollars as are our Local School Council elections in order to keep corporations from corrupting the democratic process. Making a Case for an Elected School Board Chicago needs an elected school board that... 1 represents the people NOT corporations, 2 emphasizes teaching NOT testing, 3 welcomes parents and the community, 4 replaces suspensions & expulsions with restorative justice (community service) 5 dismantiles the school-to-prison pipeline, 6 funds smaller class sizes, 7 finances public schools, NOT corporate schools, 8 helps parents get Title I funds, 9 promotes a challenging curriculum, 10 advocates for teachers, collective bargaining, & supports teacher pensions, 11 values and affirms the right of quality public school education for all, 12 uses fair, equitable, and ethical hiring & firing practices.

The judges scorecards in the bout between Manny Pacquiao and Timothy Bradley on 06/09/12 were a complete travesty. We are calling on the Nevada State Athletic Commission to open an investigation into this obvious mockery and blatant degradation of the sport of boxing. A separate unbiased sanctioning legislative body must be created to protect the boxers and the sport itself. Boxing is the only sport where shenanigans such as last nights decisions can go unregulated and without recourse. With boxing being the largest sport economic source of revenue for Nevada, we the people urge the Nevada State Athletic Commission delve into the realm of corruption and incompetence in boxing before people like myself stop paying $54.95 for a PPV fight and/or spend thousands of dollars to travel and watch in person. The years of righteousness and reverence of boxing are over. The mystique and awe that used to come with watching boxing are over. Until there is change and accountability, let it be known - Nevada State Athletic Commission, HBO PPV and to anyone else to which it may concern; With respect, we refuse to pay for any future boxing endeavors. Make your voice heard! Sign and pass along this petition. It will be sent to the Nevada Athletic Commission 555 E. Washington Ave. Suite 3200 Las Vegas, NV 89101

It is time for us to go back and consider what our Founding Fathers had in mind when they pictured public service. It was to serve and represent their constituents. It was not meant to be a career. Public service is not a full time job. Public office should not only be available for the richest people in the country. Everyone needs peer representation. I think there should be a two term limit for local, State, and Federal officials

We need to link Cash Electric Auto and Solar.

One Planet. One People. Earth is being strangled by obsessive individualism, both personal and of nations. Time to join hands globally, to work together with all people and peoples to heal our one, exquisite, and exquisitely fragile, world. One Planet. One People. Independence is good, but as fingers of a hand, essentially cooperative, inter-dependent.

I strongly object to the brutal methods used to kill horses as well as the health concerns due to the toxic nature of horse meat. The USDA and FDA have documentation as to the danger and illegality of producing horse meat from our nation's horses. Missouri Governor Nixon and the state legislature have the obligation to protect our citizens from this industry coming into our state.

I'm sick of the constant racially charged statements,quotes,and assertions made by many poloticans today.Enough,is enough.Has anyone considered what will happen if poloticans try and turn back the clock.If you're going to run for office,fine.But dont try and do it by fanning the flames of racial bigotry.The price tag may be more than anyone wants to pay.
