Inspired by the recent French elections where 80% of the population turned out to vote, we should push our legislators to switch our voting day from the first Tuesday of the month to the first Sunday of the month. Voting on Tuesdays keeps many working adults from being able to participate in democratic process. Switching to Sundays would increase the opportunity for higher electoral participation.

This is about the constitutional rights of people, or persons, as opposed to corporate and other legal entities. The people's rights have been betrayed by the recent legal re-interpretation of the definition of a person, by such cases as "Citizen's United". This petition re-establishes the definition of a person.

Michele Leqve has titled herself as "The Premier Bow Huntress" but in the case of her killing of a polar bear, a species that was just recently removed from the endangered species list, the fact is that she hired a team of dogs to chase the polar bear until he was too weak to fight for his own life. Then and only then did the cowardly "Bow Huntress" pull out her high-powered bow and shoot several arrows into the exhausted bear. To add insult to her disgraceful act, she, with full makeup, poses with a big grotesque smile behind the dead Polar Bear. Please contact CEO [email protected] and let him know that you are appalled at Michele Leqves' horrible killing of polar bears. Do it now before she kills again. Thanks, Cisco

An examination of the House and Senate voting record for the past-too-many years would be revealing. The individuals we HIRE to represent us seem to have checked their "thought process" at the door. Both sides react like two year olds saying "NO" loudly just because the other side poses an idea. United We Stand has become a bumper-sticker.. A joke.

end tax credits for corprations that create jobs overseas.. by ending the tax credits it will bring jobs back to america..

The nation has been held hostage through the Great depression of 2008 by an inept and selfish Congress just waffling over all issues except the Pork barrel ones which enrich them. Supreme court justices,with their present life long tenure are simply distanced from reality and have no incentive to rule on issues of our times in a un-biased non-partisan way. time to impose term limits on both.

More than half a million homes are in foreclosure in California only, yet the banks have been bailed out again at the expense of homeowners and tax payers with the uninvestigated settlement made with the banks for forgery and mass "robosigning." The banks are incentivized three ways to profit from foreclosing rather than modifying and or refinancing struggling homeowners and families in this job crisis and the inflated housing market brought on by the mortgage back security scandal. The banks get our tax payer money to modify which they do not do, they get incentives from the private investors to forclose, and they get insurance money to foreclose as well. Not to mention the fact that they get a sort of "reset" button to register the properties properly this time with a new loan, they get our land and our life time investments and they steal our futures in every way.

GMO's are proven to be an agricutural nightmare. the toxins from the corn, soy and two other crops are getting into babies blood from their mother's milk. Genetically creating a plant that creates it's own pesticide is putting that pesticide into the food the plant develops. What are these people thinking(if they can think at all)???

Repeal the Controlled Substances Act and legalize all drugs for mentally competent adults (21+). The Drug War has failed, 30,000 people have lost their lives in Mexico, and for what? Marijuana is not going away. It's about time we decriminalized it.

I'm tired of the Republican party voting against things that are good for America, just because it was proposed by a Democrat. I'm also tired of Democrats fighting tooth and nail againt everything the Republicans propose. I believe that EVERY person who wants to hold office, and "work" for U.S., should run (essentially) as an independent - with NO "PARTY" affiliation that they must keep happy. It's old, and it's killing us as leaders!

Retired, elderly, fixed income and still the student loans continue.
