Illegal semi-truck traffic on Marietta Road endangers the safety and quality of life in our neighborhood. The excessive truck traffic through our neighborhood creates diesel exhaust pollution, noise issues, potholes and makes it dangerous to walk or drive. We are calling on the City of Atlanta to take action to eliminate this problem and protect our families and community.

horses built this country and won our freedom. they have fed our families, built our cites, carry our children. they are NOT food.

Any new congress person will serve no more than 2 terms for senators or 6 terms for representatives with no extra retirement benefits for either House. Current members of Congress will be Grandfathered in until they retire or are voted out of office.

Catholic bishops are concerned about the government's requirement that birth control pills be a part of an employee's medical coverage even if that institution receives federal money for their services. The bishops are concerned about the woman losing her reproductive ability and that is contrary to their religious beliefs for any reason. This should also include any treatment for any medical condition or medication that could reduce or render a male employee, priest or bishop sterile.

All renters in the city of Pasadena, California, should be able to recycle their trash on the premises of the apartments they rent, whether by sorted recycling bins or by using trash collection services that properly sort refuse. Landlords should be required by the city to make these services available to their tenants.

Enough is enough. The use of cell phones during movies is disrespectful and rude. It is corroding public life. New York should lead the way in banning cell phone use during movies.

It will take an act of Congress to pass a law that Prohibits cellular phone companies from charging Excessive fees and penalties.

Despite the growing desire for "organic" foods in America we find ourselves more reliant on chemicals to produce our food than ever. Part of the problem is the extremely flawed organic labeling system in place. The organic label is inadequate at resolving the multiplicity of standards that create consumer confusion and undermine certification integrity while preserving the ability for labeling methods to target a wide range of environmental and public health issues. Our solution is to divide and sub-categorize this process into more specific narrowly defined certifications designed for consumer clarity and the realistic ability to regulate and enforce, under this model “pesticide free” would be only one of many new labels put into practice.

Social Security payments should be made on a date certain (like they used to be) rather than a certain day of a certain week of the month. Recipients now must wait five weeks several months in the year before receiving their payment, which throws off the recipient's payment of other monthly obligations, thereby making those payments overdue. Social Security Administration is an entity unto itself much like the Internal Revenue Service, and the people of the United States have no recourse. They will not even respond to individual correspondence.

Demand that City Manager, Steve Hall publicly expose to the general public for review my 13 years of police services. The public deserves a right to know about their police services, and especially minorities who are under represented. The Olympia Police Department consistently covered-up my facts pertaining to complaints associated to racist practices, and actions that raised questions around their integrity as a public safety agency. The extent of racism in the City of Olympia alone warrants concern in, and of itself regarding the quality of justice being dispensed to minorities. By signing the petition, I'll seek compensation related to personal, and career damages, as well as create an independent citizen police review process.

Why is marriage such a hot topic these days? Because of government intervention. Marriage is a religious institution, ergo our government should not recognize any difference between a married and unmarried individual. Let us truly separate church and state by removing all government recognition of marriage. No tax breaks for getting married, no marriages in public courts, and no reason to complain about sexual orientation inequalities!

The city wants us to help pay for a multi-purpose arena in Sodo district of Seattle. We've been through this before, and last time we were ignored getting stuck with the Safeco Field bill. Why should we have to pay for something that many people in the city won't even be using? We've got to tell Mayor McGinn to put the breaks on this one and withdrawal public funding of this.
