The governor of Florida is allowing officials to send out notices to people already registered to vote to prove their citizenship or be dropped from the voter rolls. Names are being illegally removed. This has already taken place in the last 3 Presidential elections. It is an obvious political move by Republicans to prevent Democrats from voting.

Abraham was the first African-American Secret Service Agent assigned to the White House. President John F. Kennedy personally chose Abraham from the Chicago office of the Secret Service. Following the murder of President Kennedy, Abraham attempted to discuss with the "Johnson Commission" the sloopy and negligent protection of President Kennedy. This included drinking and womanizing on the job, exactly what happened in Columbia last month. For trying to tell the Truth about this and the aborted attempt on President Kennedy in Chicago on November 2, 1963, Abe was charged with bribery and passing confidential information to counterfeiters, the same people he had been successfully investigating. The government railroaded Abe through two trials and convicted him of the bogus charges. He served three years and three months of a six year sentence, where the government attempted to force drugs into Abe. Since his release he has lived quietly in the same home in Chicago. He had a succcessful thirty five year career with several prominent major corportations as a Quality Control Manager. You can access more at: www.abrahambolden-petition-presidentialpardon.com.

I have taught my grandkids to always be respectful, particularly of their elders. But former Senator and current co-chair of the Fiscal Commission Alan Simpson, who is pushing to gut Social Security, either didn’t get that lesson or wasn’t good at listening to what his grandmother said. After fellow members of the California Alliance for Retired Americans and I participated in a protest of his recommended policies in March, Simpson sent a nasty letter that referred to us as “greedy geezers.” But that’s not all. Simpson went on to call us “a wretched group of seniors” and said, “You must feel some sense of shame for shoveling out this bulls**t,” for expressing our views that his plan to destroy Social Security is wrong for me, my grandchildren and the future of our country. “Greedy geezers” and “wretched” seniors? That is not the kind of remarks that our public officials tasked with one of the most important policy decisions in our country’s history should be making. That’s why I set up this petition to tell Congress members – both Democrats and Republicans – that Simpson’s comments are no better than his ideas for gutting Social Security for current and future generations. Please take a quick second to sign my petition and let your Member of Congress know that you don’t support Simpson’s out-of-line comments, or his ideas that end Social Security as we know it by cutting benefits and raising the retirement age.

Fifty-plus years of restricting and punishing commerce with Cuba has done nothing good for the United States. That blockade and restrictions on travel should be eliminated immediately.

The Bankers and Wall Street firms that profited enormously at the expense of everyone else deserve a day in court to answer for their crimes against the people!

Food containing Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) sold in the U.S. is not required to be labelled as such. This is because the corporations responsible have told our politicians that the GMO food is identical to non-GMO varieties. Shouldn't we, the people, be allowed the opportunity to decide this for ourselves? Currently the only way to avoid GMO food is to completely avoid corn products, soy products, cottonseed oil, canola oil, sugar beet products,farm-raised salmon, and possibly meat, eggs and dairy because the animals may have been fed GMO corn or alfalfa hay. Why should we avoid GMO food products? Because the genetic modification of these plants usually consists of making the crop resistant to herbicides (mostly Roundup, but also 2, 4-d herbicides and others). The result is that these GMO crops uptake the herbicide chemicals and put them directly into our food supply. We have allowed these corporations to poison our planet and now the food supply directly, never mind what other effects there may be (pollination problems, extinction of speies etc.). Shall we continue to allow the few to profit at the expense of us all? I say no. How about you? Demand that GMO foods be labelled Sign the petition. Thank you.

We have millions of cars on our highways and streets and need to improve safety.

The miniscule amout of Eating Disorders treatment was recently cut from the state budget. It is true that there is outpatient, individual therapy, but higher levels of care are desperatly needed, especially since insurance companies, like CDPHP have little treatment facilities in their network.

To ask Congress particularly the Republicans to stop obstructing everything. To compromise. To work for the benefit of The American People. To not pass a budget that ends Social Security and Medicare. To not end food stamps that leave hungry kids to starve.

Between 2009 and 2011, Senate Republicans killed hundreds of bills passed by the Pelosi House through abuse of the Filibuster Rule. Recently the bill to keep tuition interest from doubling was killed despite the presence of a majority of Senators in favor. Harry Reid recently admitted that he made a terrible mistake by not changing the rule to avoid abuse when he last had a chance in Jan 2011. This petition proposes a new filibuster rule that would eliminate such abuse by either party in the future.

With a Federal policy directive issued by the Veterans Health Administration (VHA), recognizing medical marijuana and distinguishing it from other illegal controlled substances. In its brief, the VHA directive bolsters advocates' arguments that marijuana does indeed have medical value. It is time to allow medical cannabis to be legal in all forms in the United States of America.

Candidates and politicians have knowingly deceived the pubic time and again telling deliberate lies to bolster their positions. Any politician or candidate for office or any of their surragates that deliberately lie about an issue to the public in order to gain votes or to keep the public confused and misled about voting for their opponent should be jailed and fined as a person is that commits perjury in a court of law.
