• FairWindOnly
    Currently many states allow a developer to erect 500' tall wind turbines near homes with no regard to local regulations. Despite data showing that 30' towers are more efficient, easier to repair and replace, the massive tax credits for the giant towers (tens of thousands have been abandoned over the globe in the past 3 decades) encourage their proliferation. Negatives are ignored.

  • Hold the big Banks and Judicial systems accountable
    Our story is a prime example of what so many hard working Americans are facing from day to day. When President Obama addressed the people at the State of the Union address, he gave us a glimmer of hope for a better future. While addressing the State of the Union, he assured the American people he would hold wrong doers of the Real Estate/foreclosure crisis accountable and ensure for a level playing field. Our story is a direct reflection of how manipulative, dishonest, and out and out ruthless the Big Banks, Indiana lawyers, and judicial system has become. They have infiltrated the very core of our Justice System, while leaving the hard working Americans to fend for themselves. When lawyers mislead, abuse, and manipulate the Federal courts, we know we are in a very unbalanced playing field, and when the courts buy into their lies we know as hard working Americans, there is no Justice what so ever. We can honestly make these accusations based on miserable first hand experiences. We have been forced to endure a sadistic emotional and financial roller coaster ride throughout our journey to reveal the truth of an unsubstantiated wrongful foreclosure. Our understanding of the Judiciary obligation to the people is quite different from what has happened to us. Our understanding of the Judiciary's obligation is to uphold and promote the independence, integrity, and Impartiality of the office, while avoiding impropriety and the appearance of impropriety. We have always believed the people have the right to be heard in order to allow for a level and fair playing field. Truth, Justice and The American way is literally becoming a myth. We the People are beginning to lose confidence in the very thing we hold so dear, and unclear to the intent of which instituted the pledge of allegiance; I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under god indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Where do the hard working, truthful American people turn for a fair fight? Help in the fight to hold the true criminals accountable. By signing this petition, we can truly start on the road of accountability.

  • Stop UMC Cuts
    The Jindal adminstration is making massive cuts at UMC. This will cause not only job loss, but the inability of many people to receive the health care, that is everyone's right. People without transportation will be forced to go to other charity hospitals that are out of town. This is just plain inhumane and wrong!

  • No more War
    We just got done fighting in Iraq and we are still in Afghanistan. We don't need to get into a war with Iran. We are in a huge debt. Let's focus on America and no one else.

  • Become a "Citizen Sponsor" on NM's memorial to overturn Citizens United
    New Mexico's Senate is considering a memorial opposing the United States Supreme Court's controversial Citizens United decision which now allows unlimited spending by corporations in elections. The legislation passed the New Mexico State House on January 31, and if approved by the Senate, would place our state on record as the 2nd state in the nation to oppose the ruling (a constitutional amendment would eventually return to the 3/4s of the states for ratification). Senators have the option of signing on as cosponsors of this legislation, and so should we. Add your name to this list of Citizen Sponsors of Senate Memorial 3, opposing this attack on our nation's democracy.

  • Tell Apple to Bring its Jobs to the USA
    Apple Computer is using sweat shop labor in China to manufacture its iPods, iPhones and Mac computers. Workers are forced to work more than 60 hours a week for very low wages. They are exposed to chemicals that maim and kill. The factories pollute. Apple is making billions in profits and should come home and invest in American workers, now!

  • Leave DWI Memorial Signs in Place
    Texas implemented this program in the latter part of 2007. Application must be made through the TxDOT website, criteria must be met & if the application is approved, the applicant pays $300 for the sign to be made & installed as close to the crash scene without being a hazard to motorists. The law currently states that these signs remain for a maximum time of 2 years. These signs help raise awareness to the epidemic of drinking & driving & have the power to potentially save lives.

  • Legalize marijuana
    Marijuana should be legalized because it is a medical herb that treats many ailments. Even recreational use should be legal since the use of Cannibus in that fashion is a preventitive measure. Denying Americans to grow, possess, and use Marijuana is to move us away from the natural cycle of life.
