Making the legalization of Hemp possible would first build our economy, create jobs, give us a new green Biofuel... Hemp can be used to make paper & building products (saving our forests) As medicinal products Hemp is full of healthy Omega oils and natural healing properties. It can be used to make clothing, which will create a whole new productive job force & Much MUCH MORE... It ALONE can get our country out of its debt! Not to mention all of the prison room it would free up & the tax money it would save that minor weed court cases have been useing up for decades! The age of Hearst, who started this war against weed generations ago, has ended... it went the way of the newspaper. Let's begin this new age by legalizing the flowering plant that grows to help us in SO many ways.... the days of prohibition is over, drugs have killed millions, weed has NEVER KILLED ANYONE.

My petition is to gather support for a nationwide federal income tax payment stoppage if no reform of the tax code results from the current negotiations and the code is not reformed to tax the wealthy and corporations equitably as compared to those in the middle class. This petition is needed to bring needed counter pressure on legislators that bears on them from the wealthy and corporations. If middle income people and workers continue to decrease in number from taxation inequity and loss of jobs, the economy, infrastructure, and the country in general will continue to suffer and the balance of power in favor of those with lots of money will continue to widen, further eroding the rights, benefits, and influence of the middle class.

The Department of Children and Families under umbrella, HHS, has been operating a community partnership kids for cash program using Social Security Title IV-E as their incentives.

Due to "lack of room", NYC Police Officers, PA (Port of Authority, NY-NJ) PD Police Officers and FDNY Firefighters are not invited to the 10th anniversary of 9/11 at Ground Zero — they weren't invited on that day in 2001 either. They just showed up. Sign this petition if you think they belong there more than the Politicians who are invited.

The US wars in Afghanistan and Iraq aren't making us any safer. Instead they destroy lives and incite anti-American rage. And they cost trillions of dollars that we need to educate and employ our citizens and rebuild our crumbling infrastructure.

Years ago, Americans pulled together during hard times, whether or not they liked the current President. It was what made our country strong. Today's atmosphere is destroying our country. We need to create jobs for the unemployed now.

Governor Nathan Deal (R-GA) has appointed the nativist leader of the hate group Americans for Immigration Control (AIC) to his Immigration Enforcement Review Board. AIC has been for over a decade listed as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, and Kent himself is responsible for using intense racist imagery to convey his terrible beliefs.

It is a vow to peacefully oppose corporations in their quest to seize control of all the resources of the planet . And to support the universal application of certain basic human rights.

Congressman Eric Canter wants to offset Disaster Relief costs with Budget Cuts. Worse he has the gall to say so following tornadoes and hurricanes that caused multiple deaths while taking a government pay check and wearing a $2000 suite! Congressman Southerland of Florida claims it’s a burden to serve in Congress and he’s not being fairly compensated for his suffering: long hours, time away from family (being in Washington for 2 out of every 3 weeks and only getting the month of August at home to make up for it) and the treat to his life that come with the $174,000 a year – it could be worse, he could be going through all that in a war zone for 1/4th of that pay check.

Styrofoam is estimated to take decades to centuries to degrade as it sits in our landfills. It leeches out toxic chemicals, potentially into our food, and certainly into the environment. And yet, it is the most popular take out container in a majority of restaurants. We can change this by urging restaurants to go the way of progressive cities like Denver - ditch the styrofoam, upgrade to a more eco-friendly to-go container!

This petition is meant to end the charade behind the anti-gay rights movement and to build off the stepping stone in New York
