East Coast Refineries and American jobs are under attack by the influx of imported refined fuels. This is a major National Security issue along with being a travesty to the Middle Class during our current economic crisis. Our government should import tarriff on refined imported fuel products (gasoline, home heating oil, low sulphur diesel, jet fuel, etc) is needed is needed to create a "fair trade" instead of "free trade".

Oil is detrimental to the environment from pollution problems to disastrous oil spills; despite the five biggest oil companies making astounding profits of over $67 billion in just the first half of 2011, oil and gas companies continue to receive $15.6 billion each year in federal tax breaks. We want Senator Murray to encourage the debt-reduction Super Committee to stop these wasteful subsidies to Big Oil.

The Constitution of the United States starts with "We The People." The PEOPLE have been replaced by the influence of money. This petition seeks to affirm the primacy of individual voters, born human to human parents over entities born of legal standing. Though there are many examples, large and small, the clearest indication of the need for this is the Supreme Court's ruling in Citizens United. Perhaps, if we reaffirm the primacy of the voter in our rights, that Congress can then work to reform our institutions.

This petition is about creating a long term solution to the border crossing at Cornwall, ON. The makeshift customs building and tollbooth are costing everyone time and money. Planning ahead with the new bridge coming will save time and money in the long run. Ease of crossing benefits Cornwall businesses and tourism in the National Capital Region.

The "American Jobs Act" is coming up for vote in the Senate on Tuesday, October 13. Implementing this bill could create 5,300 jobs, reverse 3,800 local layoffs of teachers & first responders, and provide $38,000,000 in funding in the next fiscal year for community colleges. All of these benefits are what Connecticut needs now.

Archbishop Timothy Dolan (New York City) President of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops issued on September 20, 2011 an official plea to President Obama to "push the reset button on your Administration‟s approach to DOMA." (Defense of Marriage Act). The Archbishop speaks on behalf of the US Bishops in requesting the President's defense of DOMA instead of moving to declare it as unconstitutional. We the undersigned practicing Catholics wish to support President Obama with all due respect to our bishops and the "millions of citizens" Archbishop Dolan invokes as supporting him.

This is to petition congress the Federal implementation of a solar- powered, bullet-rail system that connects all capitol cities together. As public transportation ridership is poised to peak during these economic times and with our skies becoming increasingly congested, this project can support our growing needs for travel in order to keep up with the rest of the world and remain competitive and proud to do so; much like how and why Eisenhower's highways were built. The technology exists and people are eager to start building something they can be proud of for decades to come. With the added luxury to the hard working American people to travel freely within their country for a reasonable fare ($25 coach, $1000 1st class and free transfers within the network until your destination) and the vastly innumerable benefits to our ever decaying environment this is the next step towards advancing American success. Furthermore this project will easily pay for itself becoming pure revenue (beyond reasonable overhead costs), which could go towards things like the national debt and healthcare. We don't need more money in this country, we need something big that can pay for itself quickly that can generate revenue. Lots and lots and lots of revenue. An extremely large, solar-powered public train network and its fares can do that. Talk about "get-rich-quick" and fulfilling the American Dream, eh? :)

Tasers have risks associated with their use. The law mandates that parents send their children to school. Schools act in loco parentis and are responsible for the safety of the children in their care. Parents can not Tase their children with impunity. Take the police out of the schools and hire trained unarmed security guards in their place. Students don't shed their constitutional rigbts at the schoolhouse door.
