Half of our discretionary budget is spent on the military. That money would be much better spent on helping people instead of killing them.

I'm calling on President Barack Obama to come to Wall Street and get a first-hand look at Zuccotti Park and the people that are there making a difference. No strings- say something, do something, or don't. Just a visit, an appearance. This would have a profound effect on the citizens of Liberty Plaza, the citizens of the United States, and all the world. We are a great country because we dare to be great.

The City of Salem is proposing to build a 1.5-megawatt wind turbine at Winter Island. The turbine would produce enough energy to power approximately 300 homes, creating a revenue stream for the city and helping to move our state away from reliance on fossil fuels, the major cause of global climate change. Over the course of its 30-year lifetime, the turbine would reduce our city’s carbon emissions by 80,000 tons, the equivalent of taking about 13,000 cars off the road. The City conducted a thorough study of all city-owned lands to determine the best site for a wind turbine. After analyzing the best wind locations with an outside consultant and considering a range of factors–including proximity to residences, access to the power grid, topography, and other impacts–it was determined that the best location for the project was Winter Island.

We cannot wait any longer...our people need jobs now!!! The longer we wait, the more people will be unemployed. It is time to take our country back from unconcerned Senate and House Representatives who don't care. Our people need to get back to work. There are millions of families who are suffering. Both Democrats and Republicans need to pass this important piece of legislation. We have the power to accomplish a great jobs reform bill. We also need to get all those jobs that were sent over seas back to the US. We must take care of our own first, here in the United States not abroad!! Call, write, e-mail, twitter, fax, and sign this petition so we can build our great nation back to the freedom-loving place it used to be. I support the "We Are the 99"s." Take a solid stand now and stand up for what is right and justified for our piece of the American Dream. I stand for liberty and justice for all....we will protect this country because it belongs to us.

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.

It is about providing more money for childcare so that the staff can mainitain their jobs. So that centers can maintain qualified workers

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.
