This issue has personally affected my family. Please read the story in the newspaper link below to see how much pain my family is silently suffering while taking care of the sick and infirm with the empathy that they deserve. H4EAD has personally helped me to work with more patients who are lacking access to care due to physician shortages in the USA. Also, I am able to diversify in my work and teach medical students from the Florida State University Medical School as Clinical Assistant Professor. If I have to go back to H1B and wait in line again for a green card, which is tremendously backlogged, it will put restrictions on my ability to help patients and continue training future doctors. https://www.tallahassee.com/story/news/2018/03/01/local-doctor-fears-job-loss-face-potential-trump-rule-reversal/337375002/

Decriminalizing and legalizing the consumption and cultivation of Marijuana by pointing out that The F.D.A. has already removed cannabis from its classed scheduling system, hence defying the systems definition of "Toxic" " Harmful" and "Physically addictive". These terms are used to describe dangerous drugs, mostly Narcotics, that qualify them for classification under the "Controlled Substances Act". By declaration of disassociation, this petition is to remove the classification of marijuana from the Class 1 scheduled list of "Narcotics" FM, and redefined as a "Clinical Therapeutic Commodity", regulated, taxed, and punished similarly to Alcohol or Tobacco.

Gun violence affects every person either directly or indirectly in the United States. Mental health services are sorely needed but inadequately funded. Private and public funding is needed to address the challenges gun-related mental health issues cause. As a major player in the gun debate, pressure must be exerted on the NRA for funds to address these needs!

As a long-time Amazon Prime member, I was appalled to find that Amazon Prime streams NRA TV. Let's ask Mr. Bezos to stop this practice and also stop selling guns and related supplies. Other companies are acting. Amazon, please do the right thing.

Independent medical practices are an essential part of the healthcare system. They provide personalized, culturally sensitive care to adults and children in their local neighborhoods, connecting with families in ways that large, corporatized health care providers cannot. This month, elected officials in Albany are hammering out details of the State's budget. Changes to Medicaid funding that could be devastating to the survival of independent practices are being considered. Physicians who participate in the Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) program, the advanced primary care program through which Medicaid participants receive highly coordinated care, could see a proposed 73.33% reduction in payments for May and June, followed by a permanent reduction of 20% to 33.33% starting in July. The economics are straightforward: Independent medical practices simply cannot survive when they are being asked to do more while being paid less. Tell our elected officials that cutting funding to the doctors who care for our economically disadvantaged neighbors is NOT ACCEPTABLE.

I have an 8-year-old daughter and I want her to feel safe going to school, going to church, or going to any public event. Gun proliferation in America is out of control; too many loopholes in our current laws. We need to raise the minimum age to purchase a firearm to 21, have a minimum 5 day waiting period for all purchases, require all private transfers to be registered and to ban assault-style firearms and any accessories to turn them into automatic weapons.

We must stand up to Kleptocracy in America.

I know many teachers whom have to work a second job to make ends meat. The current Arizona State teacher pay is grossly neglected and that's not right. Parents expect teachers to elevate their child's love for education so they will be ready for college. Unfortunately, Arizonas teacher shortage and turnover rate speaks for its self! Let's stop this nonsense and give teachers a respectable wage and less extra duties!

A question on citizenship has been proposed for the 2020 census. This is a terrible idea as it discourages non-citizens (legal or not) from participating in the census. And the census affects resources for your state/county/city etc. and re-districting decisions. Everyone should be counted. If enough of us pledge to refuse to answer this question, regardless of citizenship status, then it will show this question to be the worthless & racist question it is. The online form might require the question to be answered, so we may all have to wait for the paper version. That increased cost alone may influence the decision makers. Feel free to send this far and wide! Each of us who pledges makes a difference. Ideally, if enough of us pledge BEFORE the census forms go out, the citizenship question will be scrapped.

Whenever children try hard on there homework for Ixl, points are reducted at an alarming rate. It makes our children stressed which can lead to depression, stress, and exhaustion.

The tragedies of mass shootings must be confronted while respecting the Second Amendment.

Because we have been unjustly rewarded for our efforts in protecting the company's legacy!
