If we don't get rid of this delusional generic human being we all suffer the consequences .

HF1180 and SF837 allow voice-activated or other hands-free use of cell phones while prohibiting other uses of cell phones when the vehicle is in motion or part of traffic, with some exceptions. Why now?  18% increase in distracted driving fatalities from 2014 to 2015.  1 in 4 crashes involves distracted driving.  1 in 5 traffic fatalities involves distracted driving.  Distracted driving is now the fourth most common contributing factor in fatalities behind speed, impairment, and fatigue.

Every week I would look forward to Thursday nights. Singing tone deaf versions of early 2000s throwbacks and seeing my friends make a fool of themselves was the spark from which my life found its fire. Now that fire has been extinguished by watered down long island iced teas and margaritas. Lets make our voices heard once again and bring back Karaoke Thursdays!

The NRA is using money to ensure that no common sense gun laws are put in place in our country. This is all out of greed, obviously, they want less gun laws so they can sell more guns. In our current state, we HAVE to put new policies in place NOW & the NRA is in our way.

As high school students, the frequency of mass shootings specifically in schools is truly terrifying. The Mount Abraham Student Activism club wants to put an end to gun violence in America and bring safety back to schools.

Donald Trump fired Rex Tillerson two weeks ago and announced that he that intends to replace him with current CIA chief Mike Pompeo, who has endorsed torture, pushed anti-Muslim policies, embraces war, shuns diplomacy, and has received more money from the Koch brothers than any other member of Congress. Pompeo is dangerous, and he must be stopped. The good news is that we can win this. If Senate Democrats and Independents unify in opposition, we can block the nomination of Mike Pompeo, whose pro-war views are so extreme that even many Republicans may vote no.  Pompeo is a vehemently anti-Muslim bigot who has shamelessly embraced the use of torture and is an opponent of diplomacy. Trump himself has said that while Tillerson was more inclined to support the diplomatic deal with Iran, Pompeo agrees with Trump about tearing it up—risking putting us on a path to war with Iran. And now that Trump has announced John Bolton as his new national security adviser, the risks just got even higher. As Trump approaches the high-stakes meeting with North Korea, Americans need a secretary of state who believes in diplomacy. Mike Pompeo is not that person—he's a radical ideologue who will put us in greater danger.  All it takes to reject Pompeo is a simple majority in the Senate, but things are moving fast. Senators need to see—right now—that constituents are tuned in and ready to hold them accountable. Last year, as Trump appointed a Cabinet of authoritarians and kleptocrats, senators heard powerful outrage from voters and began to oppose Cabinet picks—even Tillerson, a moderate compared to Pompeo, received only 54 votes. We should not treat Pompeo as business as usual. All senators must hear from their constituents and understand that this is their chance to reject Trump's march to war.

Gun restrictions for safer schools.

The federal government has tried to take away net neutrality, so we need Rhode Island to protect our rights. Rhode Island lawmakers have introduced two bills to do this. H7422, similar to recently passed laws in other states, says that any Internet service provider that does any business with state or local government must let all its customers access all the Internet with no selective slowing or blocking. H7076/S2008 is similar, but also has a section making all Internet service providers in the state follow net neutrality rules. Rhode Island should join other states in passing and upholding net neutrality laws so people don't lose the ability to access the full Internet.

We are the future of America. We deserve to live every breath without the fear of dying in schools because of careless gun laws. This petition isn't only used to represent shootings in schools, but shootings in general. Enough Is enough.

The current situation of litter on South Carolina’s streets and highways is not only unsightly, it’s unhealthy. It degrades our wonderful state to live the “backwards” stereotype of the Deep South.

We have all been affected by the constant news cycle of trying to expose any undue influence of our elected and appointed officials from domestic or foreign powers. Some affirm, some deny. It is tearing our country apart. All this could have been avoided by the current president releasing his tax returns up front, as has been the case for the past 40 years. Passing these bills is one way to demand transparency to restore faith in our government and start to bring the country back together

Felix Garcia is a longtime Georgia resident, an aspiring American, and the father of three daughters, including a medical student and a young U.S. citizen. Earlier this year, during a regular annual check-in, Felix was detained by ICE with no explanation. Felix has lived in the U.S. since 1995 and has no criminal record. Despite all of his contributions and efforts, Felix has never had a path to legal status in the United States, and now he faces permanent separation from his family. ICE under the Obama Administration did not see Felix as a threat or a deportation priority, and allowed him to stay with his family as long as he checked in annually. But under the Trump Administration, parents like Felix who have done nothing besides live in the country without papers are being taken away. Felix is an accountant and originally came to the United States seeking asylum. His oldest daughter Belsy is a Dreamer and medical student in Chicago who plans to return to Georgia as a physician and work in underserved communities. Atlanta ICE Office Director Sean Gallagher can stop Felix's deportation. Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) can use the power of his office to draw attention to Felix’s case. Tell Director Gallagher and Rep. Loudermilk to use their power to make sure Felix stays with his family! We need to do everything we can to stop Donald Trump's unchained ICE agents from taking Felix away from his home and family in Georgia. Sign this petition and urge Rep. Loudermilk and Director Gallagher to take action and stop Felix's deportation.
