• Beyond Bag-Banning: Longer-Range Goals
    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.

  • Governor O'Mailey: Transform & Revamp the Criminal Justice System
    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.

  • We Can't Afford College Anymore
    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.

  • Remove the Postmaster General!
    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?

  • Repeal the Wrongful Birth Bill
    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.

  • You can't be serious to consider Hydro-Fracking - it is definitely dangerous!
    Fracking is a dangerous way to extract gas and oil from the ground because most sites end up polluting our natural drinking water supply. Even if one site, and there are too many already, poisoned a water supply, it should not be considered as a way to continue to extract natural gas from the ground. And, there are many sites that have already polluted....just because the Oil and Gas Companies are paying people off so they can't speak out doesn't mean we should consider this process.

  • Insurance Coverage for Autism
    ABA therapy is the only proven treatment for children on the autism spectrum. With early and intensive therapy, many children are drastically changed to lead a happier and more independent life. Sadly, insurance companies are finding loop holes and ways to not pay for this much needed therapy. We are calling for our political leaders to protect these children.
