More than 800,000 people were arrested for just possession of marijuana. Over half of all the arrest each year 52% to be exact, are for marijuana drug possession. All that energy and you can actually spend more time catching a robber or rapist instead of a poor doobie smoker just relaxing at the end of the day. Fact people do don't get addicted or need rehab, but our wonderful justice system forces people who smoke pot the ultimate choice jail or rehab. What would you pick? There is no documentation that proves that pot is addictive or causes lung cancer, yet our government lies and says it is bad for you. Every year Canada holds its Cannabis festival with only one recorded incident of drunk and disorder arrest. Year after year it is held very peacefully. Don't you think about time to end the madness and legalize it? The cannabis plant is a very useful plant we can use it for paper and stop killing our trees. We can use it for medical use and gas even. Just think America we won't have to fight an oil war anymore and make jobs even with happier workers. Peace all and please sign to end to madness and maybe one day we can all have a dream of lighting up in peace without the cops ruining our lives.

We are the most creative nation in the world, but we waste our time, treasure and the lives of our young people in wars in the middle east. Let's cut military spending and spend our resources on educating our young people and re-envigorating our economy.

This is a PLEDGE to alert Congress to a growing voting bloc devoted towards Congressional action on transitioning to clean energy. Why? JOBS, HEALTH, SECURITY! Tell Congress that’s why you'll VOTE for Clean Energy Candidates! * JOBS: a clean energy transition means many more jobs than the fossil fuel industry offers. * HEALTH: stop the debilitating fossil fuel air and water pollution that costs Americans big-time annually. * SECURITY: make America truly energy independent, and slow climate change! The language of Congress is votes. This is the way to get them to move on transitioning to clean energy. Once you've signed, PLEASE POST THIS FAR AND WIDE! THIS NEEDS TO GO VIRAL!! I could really use help to market this online -- please email me if you can help promote this, or have ideas! THANKS!

Rhode Island has the highest suicide attempt rate in the Nation. Please sign a petition to get suicide prevention in schools. Suicide is the #3 killer among teens. School psychologists and counselors do not have suicide prevention training as part of their education. A Bill was just passed in Congress mandating that most health care professionals be trained in suicide prevention. The deadline for this petition is Nov. 18th, 2012, the date of the 14th Annual International Survivor of Survivors day. www.justdontdoit.us. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and founder of the organization Just Don't Do It, education and advocating for suicide prevention.

People who owe more than 20,000 on Student Loans, have not been able to pay them for over 10 years, and have been unable to pay them because they just don't make enough money, should have their loans forgiven. Currently, their is a limit on how many deferences due to economic hardship a graduate can get and forbearance just makes the loan worse because they capitalize the interest thus increasing the loan!

Investing in Social Security as an option vs wall street...Guranteed by the government vs taking your chances on wall street that has lost over 45% of the value of all IRS's and 402K's.

Sign it to protect both the cleanness of our water and the very solidity of the earth beneath our feet. No more fracking until we get a handle on all its affects. Once we do, we can discuss either lifting the moratorium or putting in a permanent ban, depending on what the data shows us. There are other things we can do besides frack for necessary energy, but there is NO substitute for either clean water to drink, wash with and irrigate nor for the very planet on which we stand.

In commemoration of the people who died in the terrorist flight attacks on September 11, a solemn tribute could not be more appropriate than a day without flights to mark the occasion. The utter silence of the skies would be a stark reminder to all of the devastation of that dark and disastrous day in our history.

Wild Wings Cafe still uses "Chernobyl" to describe a sauce type and how hot it is. The Chernobyl disaster should not be remembered in this way. I am asking that the name be removed from the Wild Wings menu.

Torrence-Lytle High School in Huntersville, NC was build tin 1937, had only one principal, Isaac T. Graham and one librarian, Esther S. Johnson. In 1966, the only school for blacks in the northern end of Mecklenburg County was closed. Today it has the designation of a historic landmark but some buildings may be slated for demolition because refurbishing them will cost millions. Several companies have created plans to buy the site but none were successful. We're seeking individuals who believe that this site should be saved and brought back to its original character where individuals of all nationalities can walk the sacred halls of my Alma mater.

The Massachusetts Southcoast cities of Fall River, New Bedford, and Taunton are the only eastern Massachusetts cities not served by the MBTA. Consistently, the Massachusetts Southcoast has higher unemployment than the rest of Massachusetts and remains in a recession long after the rest of Massachusetts recovers. Economic recovery in the communities of the Southcoast require passenger rail service. Recently, the MBTA heralded a passenger rail link through Providence to South Kingston in Rhode Island. The Massachusetts Southcoast should be linked to Boston via the MBTA.
