The one cause to the worlds problems is; the people who are paying money to, and voting for, criminals who are subverting governments world wide for their so called "New World Order". The one solution is for enough people to learn how the International and Central Bankers or Financiers are corrupting nations governments by controlling their money supplies, causing economic disasters, and then mutilating their laws while everyone else is busy surviving. The path begins by looking up the 16 phrases at the bottom of the petition.

Electing the President of the United States is one of the most important events we participate in as free citizens of a democracy, and yet we have to "find time" to vote between job, parenting an other assorted responsibilities. If Election Day became a paid National Holiday, more citizens would have the opportunity to vote without the penalty of lost wages in the event of long election lines, bad weather, or employer intimidation. Our democracy will be more viable, because more citizens could participate, if Election Day were a paid National Holiday.

Bully dog breeds have been getting negative publicity because of attacks on people and other animals. No information has been gathered or information given regarding the type of unqualified and irresponsible individuals who, while deciding to own these dogs failed to properly train and supervise them. A dog of any breed is a true reflection of his owner regardless of size or breed. Make owners--not dogs--responsible for their dogs' behavior by placing the burden of punishment on the owner and making the punishment fit the crime!

Our country needs disposable income to move the economy forward. Interest rates were lowered to get business to create jobs, but that is not what is happening. Businesses are hording their profits. It's time to get those who have enough money to purchase Certificates of Deposits or Treasury Bills to accrue a 4 to 5 % interest rate. This will help the government as well since it will increase the amount of taxes collected. Most people will use the extra cash they receive to buy more products thereby increasing the need for businesses to hire more workers. There will be a slight increase in the cost of living, but the overall effect should be better for the economy.

Whales and dolphins have been beaching themselves in order to avoid ruptured eardrums caused by Navy sonar exploration of the ocean's floor. This exploration does not appear to be necessary when considering the cost of the suffering and loss of marine life.

Huppenthal has eliminated a successful Mexican American Studies in Tucson Unified School District, and is now calling for a ban on Mexican American Studies in AZ's public universities. The state should not be telling students what they cannot read and professors what they cannot teach. We provide asylum to students and professors in whose countries books, curriculum, and ideas are banned. Huppenthal's actions violate the most basic spirit of our country’s founding principles.

Take away the pension plan for Congresspersons and Senators and put them on the Social Security Plan. They pay into the plan the receive back the same amount as anyone else would based on their salary and amount of years in the system. Under the current plan both the Congresspersons and Senators plus their spouse receive benefits for the rest of their lives, even if they only served one term. Treat everyone the same.

Julio remains in jail due to only one fact: He is undocumented. Julio is a DREAM Act eligible student, an organizer at the Youth Justice Coalition, creates venues at community spaces where youth could express themselves through music, and mentors high school students over attending college. Currently he is held in jail, without being able to even face the court, because of his fear of deportation. Tell ICE to drop his hold and let him return to doing the work he does in his community.

I support President Obama, who along with so many "thinking" people believe that our nation is about EQUALITY FOR ALL AMERICANS>

People for the Reform of Criminal Law Against Indecent Material Involving Minors: This petition is in response to the ruling of the New York Court of Appeals which deemed that the viewing of child pornography is no longer a criminal offense.

Recently, my property taxes, on the last house I lived in, were increased as my owner occupied exemption was stripped when I purchased a new house. With mortgage sales down, I would not be able to sell the property and break even on the mortgage and repairs, so I rented it out to cover the mortgage, insurance, and taxes. With the exemption being taken away, taxes were increased 600.00 a year. Now, I have to increase the rent 50 a month. If there was no mortgage owed, I could understand an increase in taxes. Taxing authorities are taking advantage of tax payers by continuous raising assessed values of properties, in a down market, and stripping exeptions that should be amended for property that has a mortgage. Tenants see "land lords" as "raping" people with rent payments. Although this may be true with some, but not with me, or most people. I just want to keep the property until it can be sold. People who do not have the credit to buy a house, or those that dont want to buy, shouldnt have to pay outragious rent due to taxing authorities taking advantage of tax payers. Property owners and tenants alike will benefit with changing the current way the exemption is.
