The Federal government must Strike down the Stand Your Ground Law that lead to the killing of Trayvon Martin.

Alll across America, local governments are struggling to pay for legislative mandates that have been imposed by the federal and state legislatures without providing for the funds to pay for these increased obligations. Towns and municipalities must comply, but property taxes were never intended to be a vehicle for funding the ever-increasing and costly municipal and educational mandates that are with us now. In Massachusetts, Proposition 2 1/2 means that mandates will eventually swallow up entire budgets unless the town votes for an operational override. Towns are not able to manage their own budgets and they have lost their fiscal autonomy and authority.

The challenge is to design a utility (or improve upon an existing utility) that would make the city/ town/ neighborhood a better place. Our solution is to reduce the cost of utilities by using renewable energy to power the street lights. Adding your name to the support statement will help us win the 2012 challenge and reduce utility cost up to 35% (the average monthly expense of city lighting)

Our environment continues to be trashed daily by people who don't know or don't care about the damage their littering and improper disposal of waste from their consumption is causing. I am therefore proposing some incentives that hopefully will make a difference before we completely destroy our planet and all the creatures that depend on it as a clean place to live.

The criminal justice system everywhere including Maryland is bent on continual judgement and punishment of previous behaviors including barriers to employment, housing, and education. This continaul system of unfairness leads to more criminal activity especially for sex offenders, murders, assualts of all kinds, and handgun issues. This has a detrimental affect on people primary of color, underserved, and uneducated. This has to be addressed.

Pennsylvania State Governor Tom Corbett is cutting 20% to 30% of the budget for the upcoming fiscal year. This includes funding for state schools, driving the price of tuition exponentially higher. As college students, we can barely afford college as it is, even at a state school. Loans are not ideal but we have no other recourse. We can't let this stand. College students need to be able to pay for college. Sign this petition and help us keep ourselves in school.

He is not concerned with the company or its employees. He believes, less service, lowing our ontime status on mail. Will help the Post Office to build the business. He sides with Congressman Issa, who is the richest man on the hill. He believes decreasing service and not allowing the employees to have protection from nanagement is the way to go. The P/m wants to close many offices and plants. This will cause empolyees to move in some cases out of the state. There at least 6 jobs for every postal job in the civilian market. The city of Lexington could loose revenue of over 30 million dollars a year due to the closing of the plant according to some studies. The city of Cincy city leaders have saved their plant from closing. Why did Lexington fight? Huh mayor?

In the beginning of March 2012, Arizona passed the bill 1359 that amends title 12, chapter 6, section 12-718, also known as the Wrongful Birth Bill. This bill states that a doctor cannot be sued for medical malpractice if he or she withholds information from a mother about a child's potential health issues that could influence her decision to have an abortion even at the cost of the mother's life. This is not about being pro-life or pro-choice this is about protecting a woman's right to make an informed decision about the wellbeing of her child.
