Major Cellphone companies are making historic profits and continue to charge families more for data than individuals. Why do families pay $100/mo. for 1.5 Gigabytes of data when an individual can buy 3 GB of data for $30? (based on AT&T plans comparing 5 phones on family plan at 300 MB each vs individual with 3 GB plan.)

Republican legislatures and governors across the country are following the lead of Wisconsin's Republican Governor Walker to weaken equal pay for equal work requirements for women. Fifty years of progress for women in the workplace are now in danger of reversal.

We believe that Georgetown’s business advantage and quality of life is best ensured by protecting the city’s unique pedestrian-friendly historic district. We are opposed to the special use permit application by Hat Creek Burger Company for an on-site drive-through located at 405 S. Austin Avenue. According to their application, Hat Creek Burgers plan for up to 1,000 customers per day (up to 250 cars per hour during peak times). This type of car-centric, high turnover restaurant franchise conflicts with the historic district’s unique pedestrian-friendly space nurtured so carefully over the years. We do not want to set a precedent for other franchise and car-focused businesses in the historic district. Keep Georgetown special!

Syria is going through a major conflict. The violence is starting to cross into Turkey and Lebanon. President Vladimir Putin, the recent recipient of the Chinese Confucius Peace Prize, has the power to help Syria and the region obtain peace. Russia is one of the largest powers in the world with many resources at its disposal. As people who care about people, we urge President Putin, along with Russia, to intervene and stop the Syrian conflict from escalating into a major regional problem.

Women are 51% of the US population. Yet we are considered a minority. In a democratic country being a majority minority is an oxymoron. We are not well represented for our numbers. It's time to vote ourselves into office at all levels all over the country. Vote for every woman who is pro-choice and we will never be oppressed and suppressed ever again.

The popular vote result is the democratic way to elect a president. The electoral college is outdated and does not necessarily elect the person with the most votes. To let every voter know their vote counts, end the electoral college.

Federal taxation of the American people has been dishonestly reported since the Reagan Presidency. Honest rates of taxation of the American people would include all taxes paid--Social Security, medicare, income, gasoline, excise sales, and consumer paid corporate taxes.

Slaughter houses have been closed for several years now, but a bill was recently signed allowing the re-opening of Horse Slaughter Houses for creating available horsemeat for France, Belgium and Japan. We in the U.S. do not eat horsemeat. This a repugnant, disgusting, cruel, and unecessary. Think what the noble horse has done for mankind, pulling wagons, plows, taxies, and dying on the battlefields of wars. The federal government must creat LOW COST Horse clinics where the very ill, diseased, very old etc. can be put down humanely for low costs. Other things we can do is set aside alotments on land for more dirt roads for riding, to bring back the usefulness of a horse but with excellent treatment and care. Horses are fragile, intelligent, devoted big creatures to those who love them. We must give them the decent good lives they deserve. Education, education, education is needed to promote good useful lives for horses.

This petition is to force lawmakers to rescind any legislation created by the anti Democracy group ALEC. Lawmakers across the country have been passing these laws that are meant to take away rights of the common citizen in favor of large businesses.

When politicians will progress from immature, infantile street-dog behavior of to day? To mature mentality of reaching to the next stage of sportive, sincere, disciplined, dedicated and decent member of the grown up age? We the ordinary citizens have to take this burning problem in our solid hands, by refusing to listen, read and support from such candidates? But how? By signing this petition that we the people of free world, will not tolerate this stupid, imbecile behavior and will reject them in election/selection totally irrespective of the party they belong and will propagate this message to our family,friends and all, so they are absolutely thown out of the ring forever in this Election and in future too and circulate their names and send this petition.

We need to repeal the Issa legislation that puts an undo and unnecessary burden on the Postal Service to fund their pension and medical obligation in 7 years. The last thing we want to do is put the postal service in bankruptcy and privatize our postal service.
