Bring needed money back to our infrastructure: schools, hospitals, roads, transportation, eldercare, and other needed services by taxing the 1% that pays less than their fair share of the taxes needed to run these programs.

Currently, our education system has failed generations of students and will fail more in the future. How do you feel about SOLs and teachers not being able to be creative.

I am requesting the impeachment of Gov.Bob McDonnell who has shown insensitive views on Woman,Education and Minorities. Gov.McDonnell's ineptness and blatant lies has caused many Teachers,Police Officers and Healthcare workers to lose their jobs throughout the commonwealth of Virginia. Gov.McDonnell is more focused on trying to run for Vice President then running the great State of Virginia.

Creation of National Service in America. All men and women at 18 are responsible to this great nation in which we live, to give a 2 year service to America. Everyone opts for the type of service they will give: military, environmental, child services, infrastructure support, etc. educational support. This introduces millions to a work ethic as well creating a dedication to the country.

Taxpayers and citizens do not know where their taxes are going nationally or locally. We need a database where we can put in our zip code and see where are local city,county, state and federal tax money is going. Wouldn't all citizens want to know where there tax money is going? Wouldn't it be great to go to a relieable database to get local and national tax spending information? Let's make this happen. Please sign the petition.

PROPOSED : A state lottery to raise money JUST for schools. There should be no question that funding is available for our children's education. Once again, cutbacks threaten education. Always. That should not be the case.

Double Standards are inherently unjust and they're at the heart of our most pressing foreign and domestic problems Even more troubling, is the fact that there is a growing trend for politicians and others to use double standards to address major world problems. This trend will likely continue unless we, the people, begin demanding the removal of all double standards from our foreign or domestic policies. This "NO MORE D.S." would apply to all three branches of both our federal and state governments .

The two largest demographic blocs in the United States with the most difficulty finding employment are those 18-24 and those 55-65+. Mainly because in the case of the former, businesses of all sizes want "experienced workers", and in the case of the latter, "they're too old, cost us more in salary and benefits, etc".

I'm sick & tired of taking my son to the park & having to constantly dodge him away from people who insist on smoking while their kids play. I understand that it's an outdoor space, but their smoke travels into the faces of the children & it can cause issues with children with respiratorty problems as well as the multitude of other heath issues caused by smoking.

Last fall ABC News in their 6:30 evening edition had a reoccurring feature that was to encourage consumers to buy American made Christmas presents. They stated that the average family spent $700.00 on Christmas presents and if only $70.00 of this was on American goods, that this would INCREASE employmentin the US by 200,000 It is way past the time in which we need to bring back the jobs that have left us over the last 30 years. So, here is what WE can do: 1... Contact the major retailers to ask them , where ever possible, to products made in America. We need to get them to PLEDGE to do this. If they do this they will be rewarded by being placed on a list of like-minded companies that wish to do the PATRIOTIC thing. 2...Retailers will be be given the opportunity to gradually replace their non-American made inventory with American made goods by Thanksgiving of this year. 3...Should a retailer choose NOT to sign the pledge and continue to purchase NON-AMERICAN made goods, we will publicize this along with any other non-patriotic companies via the web and we will PICKET their business during the Christmas buying season.

As one of the largest universities in the state and an advocate for energy sustainability, VCU must do everything in its power to encourage clean, renewable energy projects in Virginia. According to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation, our university is located in the asthma capital of the country -- for two years running. Virginia Beach lands a number eight spot. One of the main reasons is due to poor air quality. VCU has a great opportunity to play a role in changing this by achieving the university's stated goal of carbon neutrality by 2050. Dominion Virginia Power is VCU's sole provider of electricity and VCU cannot "go green" without a shift from Dominion towards clean, renewable energy. Our main goal is to get students across the state to sign on in support of this movement. However, any support we can generate throughout the state will help our overall cause so please, if you sign this petition, clarify whether or not you are associated with VCU.

Tell the FDA that this is a no brainer. Access to Narcan over-the-counter will save lives and will provide needed relief in cases of accidental overdoses.
