I spoke to a Cherokee lady that was born in Cherokee, NC. She said the casino there has only benefited the community. She said it was a high poverty area and the casino has helped restore the area.

This petition would be to insure that so many Americans are not disenfranchised by all the new bills passed at the State level to reduce the chances for Democrats to win. (Students, the poor, the less-educated, the too busy , those who cannot take time off...) This will reduce voter suppression in many swing states.

Grover Norquist has disabled Congress from doing its job.

For the sake of our personal liberties as Americans we must speak up for our rights to control what clothes we wear and how we wear them. Whether you wear baggy pants or not, stand up for those who do and sign the petition today!

Soldiers from Individual Ready Reserve were called to action in 2004 they were given 30 days before they had been scheduled for training and then sent to Iraq. Many soldiers are now feeling the effects of PTSD. The results of serving their country with Honor. My brother and many like him showed up after 30 days notice. My brother is now suffering from the effects of PTSD . My point is my brother was given 30 days to get ready for war why does it take the goverment 24 months to process his disability paper work. If compliance is required for soldiers it is reasonable to require the same of our Goverment.

Amazon is selling Nazi themed products through their site. These flags, buttons, and banners celebrate the murder of 12 million innocent people during WW 2. As a legitimate business Amazon needs to not promote these types of hate-filled products. http://www.amazon.com/o/ASIN/B004CA9ZQO?tag=adapas02-20

I propose a new grassroots referendum or initiative or constitutional amendment to legally, physically seperate financial interests from the American legislative system. In short ..... the house and senate are to be populated with 'citizen legislators' who are primarily concerned with the business of the people, not the short term, non-patriotic concerns of profit-takers. Lobbyists would be banned from the halls of government and relegated to standing in line with the rest of us. Big Business/Big Money entities are extremely important to the American Economy and to our way of life, but their dominance of the legislature is contrary to the spirit of Democracy.

A condition of development was to protect this dryland forest in Makena. Your voice is needed to help the General Plan committee remember to put it into the Maui Island Plan.

Property taxes in York City, York, PA have become unreasonable. The Mayor, Council and School Board are bleeding us dry and causing people to loose their homes. The State Legislature used to fund 60% of the public school costs but they have abrogated their duties to the schools and refuse to tax entities that destroy our environment. It is the State Legislature's very mandates such as special education funding and charter schools that are at the very center of the current budget shortfall. At the same time the State refuses to uphold the State Constitutional requirement that they preserve and protect our natural resources and instead allow unfettered free-for-all access to any and all frackers. We the undersigned are standing as one to stop the continual increase in property taxes and the refusal by the State Legislature to fully fund our schools and eliminate school property taxes while protecting our environment and natural resources per the State Constitution. We are also standing against an out of control Mayor and City Council that continue to spend and fund projects even when they don't have the money or proper funding and instead rely on continual property tax increases and/or public debt. The principal limitations on whether and to what extent the state may interfere with property rights is set by the Constitution. The "Takings" clause requires that the government may take private property only for a public purpose, "after exercising due process of law, and upon making "just compensation." It does not allow for regulations that destroy value through taxation which has become so persistent and severe that they are akin to "regulatory takings."

Obama's policy on medical marijuana is an about face of what he campaigned on in 2008. His policies are worse than those of George Bush. Obama is raiding and shutting down legal medical marijuana farmers and distributors, destroying jobs and businesses. The question must be asked, is he engaging in this war against legal business because big pharma now has an interest in researching the benefits of marijuana?
