Since the Bush administration entered into this contract, I've been wondering what they will do with it. I can't believe the Obama administration would want this stuff to go into public school lunches! I understand they may be under contract but it was just another way that the Bush administration rewarded his cronies. Now it's time to end this toxic policy.

The City of Canton is deciding whether to continue Phil Sedlacko's Contract as an Animal Control Officer to control the Feral Cat population. Phil Sedlacko is not an acceptable candidate in light of his treatment of animals in the past. The people of Canton want the animals to be treated humanely and controlled by a Trap/Neuter/Return policy. (ONLY CANTON RESIDENTS CAN SIGN THIS PETITION)

The ability for people in our state to be able to get and use medical marajuana for severe medical conditions. Many states have initiated medical marajuana laws, for people that get no relief from conventional medications. Everyone deserves the right of choice, and it has been proven that this treatment works well for most people.

http://wh.gov/81O I was on a recent conference call with White House officials, during which research funding was discussed. It seemed to me that these officials did not fully understand the central importance of NIH funding to our national research enterprise, to our local economies, to the retention and careers of our most talented and well-educated people, to the survival of our medical educational system, to our rapidly fading worldwide dominance in biomedical research, to job creation and preservation, to national economic viability, and to our national academic infrastructure. In response to a question from a participant, they staunchly defended the proposed flat $30.7 billion FY 2013 NIH budget as being perfectly adequate, remarking that “The NIH receives more funding than any other research entity; it will continue to be strong; it will do just fine.” This is not the case. The proposed flat NIH budget will severely exacerbate a catastrophic crisis that has been ongoing since 2003, when growth in NIH funding fell (and has continued to fall every subsequent year) behind the rate of inflation. As a consequence of this deeply flawed public policy, promising careers have been cut short, amazing research projects have been aborted, hundreds of laboratories nationwide have shrunk or been shut down, established and accomplished senior researchers have been forced to abandon their programs, young scientists have departed from research of even left the country (even after many years of productive training), thousands of ancillary jobs have been lost, our worldwide medical research dominance has been eroded (ceded to China, India, and other nations), and a large support network of laboratory supply and biotechnology companies has been drastically attenuated. We successfully rescued the auto industry because we understood the ramifications of letting it fail. Our biomedical research infrastructure is just as far-reaching and vitally important to our nation’s economy as is the auto industry. I hope that our Administration understands this. In response to this apparent lack of understanding of the current medical research crisis, I started the following petition: Dear friends, I write to let you know about a recently created petition on "We the People", a new feature on WhiteHouse.gov , and ask for your support. If this petition gets 25,000 signatures by March 18, 2012, the White House will review it and respond! We the People allows anyone to create and sign petitions asking the Obama Administration to take action on a range of issues. If a petition gets enough support, the Obama Administration will issue an official response. “You can view and sign the petition here: http://wh.gov/81O Here's some more information about this petition: Increase NIH budget to $33 billion dollars next fiscal year! A flat $30.7 billion will kill jobs and hurt research. Increase NIH spending to $33 billion! The proposed flat NIH budget will close labs nationwide, kill good-paying jobs, damage our worldwide medical research dominance, and hurt state economies. NIH jobs cannot be outsourced. NIH funding created 350,000 jobs and contributed $50 billion to the national economy in 2007! Insource our jobs!! Stephen J. Meltzer, M.D. The Harry & Betty Myerberg/Thomas R.

For 10 years National CASA received $12 million in funding for the CASA program through the Victims of Child Abuse Act. Last year Congress reduced the funding for CASA programs to $4.5 million. And now, the administration has proposed eliminating all funding for this vital program in FY 2013.

More and more Amerikcans are dying because of infections caused by antibiotic resistance. 70-80% of all anibiotics made by drug companies are used in animal feed. This meat ends up on our plates.I want the factory farmers (meat industry)industry to stop routinely adding antibiotics to animal feed. Factory farmers don't need to do this. Europe doesn't routinely add antibiotics to animal fee. Our future health depends on it.

Oppose Mayor Bloomberg's plan to build a 10-story solid waste processing plant adjacent to Asphalt Green, the East River Esplanade and Carl Schurz Park and 100 feet from residential apartment buildings, shops, restaurants and schools and 280 feet from the largest New York City Public Housing complex.

My petition concerns the cuts Pat Quinn is making to the populace who have no voice. It is a coward's way of bullying the helpless and indigent. Cutting mental health facilities and prisons must be his way of attempting to hang on to his wealthier constituents. However, all people in the helping professions protest this move and will never vote for him again.

We the People support the legalization and removal of criminal sanctions for the cultivation, use, sale, transport of Cannabis (Marihuana). We support this change in policy to reduce/eliminate the arrest and incarceration of otherwise law abiding citizens, to reduce/eliminate drug related gang violence, and to reduce/eliminate the funding of drug cartels. We also support this change in policy to help bring revenue back to our country through domestic cultivation of the plant for domestic sale and international export.

Alaskan oil producers are pushing hard to convince the Alaska Legislature to lower taxes on oil production. Contrary to Gov. Parnell’s assertions, in public testimony the oil companies have promised nothing in return for this free windfall: no increased development, production, or investment. Oil prices and profits are the highest they have ever been. Please say NO to giving away Alaska’s most valuable resource.
