Death penalty martyr, Troy Davis was executed by the State of Georgia on September 21st, 2011. We are appealing to everyone to boycott the state's signature product, its peaches. Pick up instead apples, pears, bananas, oranges . . . anything else but the product associated with that lynching despot. The alternatives are manifold, as is the way to authentic justice. Be assured that while the intent here is far from raining down on the impoverished Georgia grower, his juicy state symbol is ripe for the plucking.

Corporations, currently, since the advent of Citizen's United, have unlimited power and influence over candidates ability to be elected, ensuring the people don't have a voice in government. Corporations should not be allowed to donate an unlimited amount of money, secretly to campaigns, effectly eliminating democracy and our right to elect candidates of our choice

Cannabis produces more protein, oil and fiber than any other plant on earth. It is used to produce more than 5,000 textile products, ranging from rope to fine laces, and the woody "hurds" remaining after the fiber has been removed contain more than seventy-seven percent cellulose, and can be used to produce more than 25,000 products, ranging from dynamite to Cellophane. Hempseed protein is the most productive and healthiest food crop on earth. Humanity would not have survived without this food source called "gruel" in our histories. Some studies indicate that an acre of hemp, in addition to its fiber production, will produce 300 gallons of oil that can be used for either food or fuel, plus more than three tons of residual presscake, (Notre Dame 1975) Making Cannabis the logical source for bio-diesel and wood pellets, to reduce our dependence on imported oil. It is a rugged plant that needs little pesticide and can grow in very poor soil (like deserts). Plus, it is a safe and effective medication from maladies ranging from panic and depression to cancer. This useful plant is currently the single largest cash crop in our nation and it is untaxed and under-utilized. Currently some Cannabis profits are used to support gangs, organized crime, and war. We should legalize this plant to leverage the economic opportunities and health benefits. Furthermore we should not be spending tax dollars on investigating, prosecuting, and incarcerating otherwise law abiding Cannabis users. Instead we should be taxing its use by scheduling it as peer to tobacco and apply the same tax rates.

The state of Georgia shamefully executed Troy Davis on September 21, 2011 despite serious doubts about his guilt. However, they cannot stop our struggle for all the Troy Davises of the world. By signing the Not in my Name Pledge, we ask that you commit to working for death penalty abolition in your community, in your state, in your country and around the world.

While posting record profits and handing out multi-million dollar bonuses to their Illinois-based executives, Blue Cross Blue Shield just proposed another double-digit increase on New Mexico insurance customers. BCBS is pushing this increase through just before new consumer protection regulations take effect forcing them to publicly justify their rate increase. Don't let that happen! Tell BCBS to stop raising New Mexico insurance rates to support record profits and pay big bonuses to out of state executives.

We, the signatures below, want to stop the death penalty. Too many innocent people are dying because of the Judicial System not doing their part. The Death Penalty is an "Easy Way Out" for those who are really guilty of a crime that is punishable by death. As ONE, Americans need to put a stop to this!! With each death penalty case should be a fair trial...where evidence, there should be NO REASONABLE DOUBT!! And with that being said, there should be a jail that is made just for them!! A place where they will be held accountable for their actions and would have to live the rest of their days paying back their debt to society without being released or put to death! When lives are lost, there is no bringing them back. So an "Eye for an Eye" is not enough justice. Together we can stop the Death Penalty and make these criminals pay for their crimes not with their LIFE but with their TIME ( the rest of their lives ). In the "Pledge of Alligence" we say "With Liberty and Justice for ALL".....well let us start doing that!! Let us stand up together and fight back!! Let us take America back!! We are the people....let us stand UNITED!! One of us can't do it alone.....it takes a NATION!! With that.....the Government or the Judicial System CANNOT BEAT US!! We are the greatest nation....LET'S START ACTING LIKE IT***UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL***

A federal appeals court ruled last month that oil and gas companies can begin drilling in the Allegheny National Forest in Pennsylvania. The ruling says that the government only controls the surface rights in the national forest, not the mineral rights under the surface. While the ruling only affects the Allegheny National Forest, this could set the stage for opening up drilling in ALL National Forests. This means they start drilling immediately unless we act now. There are two ways we can stop this: 1) The Obama Justice Department must appeal this ruling and ask for an injunction to halt drilling; and 2) Congress must pass legislation to stop drilling in all National Forests.

We know this country was founded by the people for the people, but corporations have an over riding influence through their wallets. Politicians have forgotten who they work for, and campaigns are out of control with $$$ instead of addressing topics. Put an end to greasing politicians palms and end the corporate welfare which is costing us a GOVERNMENT FOR THE PEOPLE.

Some people do not want to consume, use as drugs, or be injected with GMO's and while the FDA has stated that it is not up to citizens to decide what foods and drugs are safe, it is the FDA's job to regulate these things. The bill of rights ensure freedom of religion for all in the United States and GMO's are against certain religious doctrines. There are scriptures mentioned in the Christian bible and Hindu texts as well warning against mixing the blood of humans with animals and other related issues. Since GMO's often use animal, bacterial, and viral DNA from animals, people who want to follow these texts should have a religious right to know what is in their food, drugs, and vaccines. Please label all GMO's including what type (animal, viral and from what animal, bacterial and from what animal) of DNA and/or genes that have been added, removed, promoted, inhibited, moved, rearranged, replicated, changed in any way, or corrupted so that people can follow their doctrine freely without inhibiting the rights of corporations to sell these products.

TRICARE, the health care program serving active duty service members, National Guard and Reserve members, retirees, families and survivors worldwide, does not provide chiropractic benefits. Therefore, our military and their families are forced to pay for their chiropractic care as they understand the benefit that chiropractic provides for them. Please help us support those who protect us by providing them the healthcare that they deserve by supporting HR409 Chiropractic Health Parity for Military Beneficiaries Act. http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h112-409 F
