130,000 Italians just signed a petition calling for the Catholic churches in Italy to pay taxes on all properties they own to help cure it's financial ills. I propose that ALL churches here in America do the same: Close the tax loopholes that exempt ALL properties owned by churches!

South Carolina schools need all the money they can get so why waste any more money on SC ETV? The Governor and legislators have the power to completely close this wasteful and outdated state agency (and keep PBS which is easy) so why not vote TO CLOSE ETV this time?

This petition is about stopping WI Republican Senator Glenn Grothman Bill 507 that dictates being a single mother is a cause of child abuse. This bill, if passed, could have harmful affects on services women use to help raise their children. It's time to fight for equality of women all over.

Monsanto has plans to sell its new genetically engineered sweet corn seed for planting this spring, and even though this new crop is intended for human consumption and will likely be sold fresh off the cob, it has never been tested for human food safety. We would like Walmart to commit by April 1, 2012 to not sell Monsanto’s genetically engineered sweet corn variety in their stores. Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, and General Mills say they won't handle it. Walmart has made a pledge of sustainability, which does not support carrying GMO corn. 90% of all Americans want GMO foods labeled, because they don't want to eat them. We deserve the right to know what we are eating. Even China and Russia label GMO foods. Please refuse Monsanto's untested, unlabeled, and potentially unsafe sweet corn!

Kitzhaber wants to change the Oregon Health Plan — the state's version of Medicaid that serves low-income patients — to improve coordination of health care and focus on preventing expensive hospital stays. But defensive medicine has been proven to INCREASE costs of medical care to seniors and people with disabilities.

KONY 2012 is a campaign by Invisible Children that aims to make Joseph Kony famous, not to celebrate him, but to raise support for his arrest and set a precedent for international justice.

The Tennessee State General Assembly is considering House Bill 0229 called the "Don't Say Gay" bill. The bill would make it harder for LGBT teens to approach their teachers, and it would make it harder for teachers to help their students out when it comes to the issue of bullying. Gov. Haslem is against the bill, and so is the Speaker of the House. Thus, the members of the House Education Committee has a chance to stop this bill, and thus kill this bill in committee.

It's time DoD, particularly with the problems women in the military are having, to figure out what more than 40 of Limbaugh's sponsors have figured out.

To bring attention to the Anti-Excessive Speculation Act of 2011. A critical bill currently before Congress created by Sen Bill Nelson [FL] and Co-sponosored by Sen Blumenthal, Richard [CT],Sen Rockefeller, John D., IV [WV], Sen Sanders, Bernard [VT]. Bill is known as S.1598. Why do two or three men need to make billions of dollars on a future price that WE THE PEOPLE will pay for gas...because we let them? Enough is enough, Gas futures are a piracy of THE PEOPLE. It reminds me of Enron. Those guys were getting ready to start trading on the weather when it all unraveled. This is not any different in my opinion. Our "one" voice is LOUD! We can make them do the right thing for the people!

It's the year 2012. The permitting process for mining is both lengthy and exhaustive to mine for copper and nickel in Minnesota. The actual mining process takes place 3,000 to 4,000 feet underground not on the surface. Neither the State of Minnesota nor the residents of Ely, MN want to see their backyard destroyed but DO believe that in these modern times, we actually can mine unobtrusively and without damaging our precious environment. Ely, MN is suffering significantly with a declining ability to survive on tourism as the years and bad economy have chiseled away steadily at the population here. We need to do something and sell a product that everybody needs, that being nickel. It's is used in every thing from iPads to cellphones to stainless steel and the US currently imports all of it. Let Ely, MN contribute to its own sustainability and the economy of the United States in a meaningful, tangible way. Support the mining efforts for the underground mine south of Ely MN.

Many Seniors want to live in community housing that have income over $35K a year. If you make less than $35K a yr you still have to wait years to get a place. There is no Senior housing for middle class income. In Maui we have tried to get the city council to pass 2 such projects. They refuse and pass on huge developer projects.There are hundreds of middle class seniors coming to live in the islands. Some who live here are having to move to other states that have Senior Community Housing that serve and honor there elders. Even if I had millions I would want to live in community and have support and companionship. As an aging person I will need on support on the premises and nurse on call. CommunityHousing is best because the seniors help and support each other both physically and socially.
