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.

Hearing loss is almost a given for seniors and can be greatly alleviated by using hearing aids. Aids, however, are prohibitive in cost and are not covered by Medicare. The social and psychological effects of hearing loss are profound and significantly affect a person's quality of life. We're asking Congress to include a partial payment of hearing-aid cost in its coverage.

Petition to organize a movement to challenge corporate America to reduce the cost and transfer these cost to other jobs. We must challenge those individuals who sit on these boards to open the market up as a corporate accountability to allow individuals to submit bids or proposals at a lower rate than are acceptable today. Executive Compensation's cost is out of control. It is draining America of jobs. Jobs = payroll taxes.

Government must force big oil to put "service" back into gas stations. Saw an incredibly elderly woman trying to gas up her car and clean her windows. She held up a whole lane at the gas kiosk ... she was there when I drove up and still trying to clean her windshields when I left. How can fat-cat oil execs sleep at night forcing a senior citizen to do this? a) Given that proper tire pressure and regular oil changes help improve gas mileage, why - in this time of great conservation efforts on all parts - would the USA allow oil companies to remove "service" from gas stations? b) How can government approve of Big Oil charging consumers for AIR (I was refused air at a service I frequent because I wasn't BUYING gas that day) and water - basic car maintenance (and bicycle riding) items? c) Why is it OK for the State of Oregon to OUTLAW "self-serve" yet the rest of the USA citizenry must deal with wasting gas on clothes, etc.? RETURN SERVICE to gas stations: add attendants - not doing so is greedy, unscrupulous, environmentally negligent on the side of government and business, and just plain totally WRONG.

With so many people pot of work coupled with the need to rebuild America;s cunbling infrastructure, We urge evrybody to sign this petition in support of President

A piggyback to the petition on the D.R. show on MSMBC. I believe these petitions must be Sate by State to have the greatest effect on Congress, because all politics is local.

Do Not Support The Florida (un)Fair Foreclosure Act

There is a free bus system between remote points in Northern New Mexico, only the times they run do not work for those seeking jobs in Taos or Espanola. Consequently the state loses income they could have from those who could work but have no way of getting in at earlier times from sites like Dixon among others. The state also ends up paying more in entitlements because the people can not get jobs. Now it comes around 10 am so no one can get a job that begins earlier.

Congress has repeatedly given themselves raises over the past twenty years when most of us have seen a steady erosion in pay and benefits. One of Congress's jobs is to ammend and approve the President's budget- something they have repeatedly failed to do in a timely fashion for years. This petition is to link Congressional pay and benefits to their performance while in Congress.

Childhood lead poisoning remains a major public health problem in the U.S.; however, the U.S. Senate is proposing to eliminate funding to the CDC for public health programs to eliminate this terrible health problem. Currently, CDC spends about $30 million to support state programs that design and operate programs that target the elimination of the problem. Childhood lead poisoning costs billions. Studies show that every lead poisoning prevention dollar saves money and allows productive lives.

H.J. Res. 78, offered by Rep. Donna Edwards of Maryland, seeks to change the Constitution to allow limits to corporate spending on campaigns. This is the only means to reverse the ill-fated Citizens United decision by the Supreme Court, allowing unlimited corporate spending on campaigns for public office. There is a mirror proposal in the Senate made by John Conyers of Michigan.
