Big Corporations are increasingly ramping up their data mining activities buying, selling, and trading profiles on customers and citizens. At the very same time many corporate special interests are pouring millions of dollars to lobby for censorship bills like SOPA & PIPA. Businesses should provide services not surveillance, sign to support stronger protections for individuals privacy and freedom of speech and repeal “Corporate Personhood”. Because We The People, are not international mega corps.

In light of the current foreclosures crisis in our state and the fact that empty, bank owned properties are bad for our communities and state. Because it is becoming increasingly apparent that up to 80% of these foreclosures may be illegal, we do hereby propose a petition to halt all foreclosures and evictions until issues relative to MERS, chain of title issues, robo signing and other possible foreclosure fraud are investigated and dealt with.Homeowners should not be displaced when there is question as to the legality of the foreclosures in the first place. This is not just a homeowner issue but an issue that affects every citizen of Washington state. Empty, bank owned homes are bad for our state.

According to an independent audit that was conducted after the FBI was informed, it appears that IVF (in-vitro fertilization) patients throughout the US are being routinely de-frauded by a heinous, yet common practice that is referred to by fertility doctors in this country as "Egg-Sharing." Without the patients' knowledge or consent, fertility doctors routinely steal a portion of the eggs and embryos obtained from each IVF procedure, and sell them to stem cell researchers and wealthy infertile couples who are willing to pay a substantial fee to these fertility doctors in order to bypass the typical two-year waiting list for an egg donor in this country. In the process, these doctors have created a generation of genetic orphans, who are not genetically-related to one or both of their parents, and who have been robbed of having any knowledge about, or access to, their true genetic origin. Yet, driven by a strong, instinctual need that many humans have to know their true identity, they will someday soon begin searching for their true genetic roots. There is only one feasible and effective way to help these people, and that's by creating a volunteer, discreet and strictly confidential DNA registry of any/all women who have undergone a transvaginal or laproscopic IVF, GIFT and/or ZIFT procedure in the United States. We will need to be patient and understanding with women who fear that they may be contacted without notice, or at an inconvenient time, by a child (or children) they never knew they had. Hopefully, we can earn their trust, appealing to their sense of integrity and compassion for a possible child of their's, who may be earnestly searching for them, but not with the desire for a child-parent relationship. In most cases, these children will only be searching for a better understanding of themselves, and perhaps some information about their genetic health history. It would be wise to require, when a match is discovered, that the "children" be at least 18 years old (or if younger, with the consent of their parents), and participate in a mandatory meeting with an experiened therapist, to hopefully work through any unreasonable expectations, dreams or hopes they may have, before speaking with and/or meeting with their genetic parent. Every single dime spent on this enormous project will be paid by a heafty, annual tax imposed on each and every fertility doctor in the US IVF industry, and the presence of a mandatory, on-site Bio-Integrity Supervisor will henceforth be required at every single IVF procedure in the US. There's no other way to stop the practice of unauthorized egg-sharing in America.

All politicians’ salaries, Social Security benefits and healthcare costs shall not exceed the current middle-class medium of their respective states

Stop all horse slaughter Stop all wild horse round ups and give the horses the land Congress gave them in 1971; obey the law and protec them.

The so called "PATRIOT ACT" goes against everything this country stands for and the founding fathers visions, the Bill of Rights and we believe it to be an act of treason. The Declairation of Independence used some strong language. Strong language is needed now. Sacrificing our Liberty for a small measure of safety, we deserve neither. The PATRIOT ACT should be repealed and it's authors held accountable for this ball and chain.

This is to prevent the opening of slaughter houses that President Obama has given the go ahead to re -establish and to put a halt to horses being transported to Mexico and Canada to the processing plants. The slaughter houses are being re-opened to provide employment and the meat sent overseas to Japan and France . The medications our horses have had throughout their lifetimes renders them unfit for human consumption. Tax the !% and hold our corporations accountable, enforce them to make jobs available for Americans not Mumbai, China etc, bring back our jobs from abroad . It's criminal to kill when the solution of unemployment lies with government and corporate greed.The bill passed to re-open slaughter houses is totally bogus. Please don't murder our four legged friends who have fought on the front lines , transported caskets for our fallen soldiers , plowed our fields, carried us along in carts, made us cash winnings at the races and generally given us all round pleasure . Our horses don't die instantly at slaughter , they endure extreme terror and torture . Lets not allow such cruelty. Surely we are not a nation of such insanity . .

Many people are finding that they have to take care of an elderly parent or handicapped child and cannot work while doing this. They will lose jobs, homes, status and their ability to also take care of themselves. I have a masters degree, but my mom who is 90 years old has many problems and cannot take care of herself. I don't have any income. She only gets $374 in social security and that's not enough to maintain our home and I know several other people in the same position. Congress should address this by providing some type of assistance to those in theses types of situations.

Oil companies are subsidized by taxpayers while earning record billion dollar profits. Why? On average, the big 5 oil companies averaged 100 billion a year over the last 10 years! This corporate welfare has to stop immediately.

Legislators in WI should no longer be provided with premium healthcare coverage, premium retirement benefits and premium salaries at WI taxpayers' expense until ALL citizens in WI have decent paying jobs with decent benefits.

A local developer plans to demolish the 190 year old building for a convenience store and gas station. Located at Columbia Road and U.S. 22/Ohio 3, the Twenty Mile House has been a stagecoach stop and a restaurant. The building was constructed in 1822 and has a rich history which is summarized at friendsofthetwentymilehouse.org

The only bi-partisan bill passed by Congress and signed by President Obama allows for the slaughter of horses for consumption. These animals are not bred for food. These compatriots helped us settle this country pulling wagons, plowing fields, carrying the mail, herding cattle and charging with us into battle. These animals are highly intelligent, communicating by telepathy. We are losing horses, polar bears, sea otters, seals, tigers, elephants, big apes. If you care about animals, stop the gratuitious slaughter of horses.
