Please, consider a law that ties property tax to household income of retired senior citizens .

In order to quickly look for Constitutional and Just funding mechanisms for public, K-12 education in the State of Oregon; Oregon's House, Oregon's Senate and our Governor must reject 'violating the contract clause once again', and pursue responsible 'long-term funding mechanisms' for our children and our grandchildren. Please join me in the cause of long-term, responsible education funding, for ALL our children, once and for all! The people of the great State of Oregon, understand it is the responsibility of All The People to pay for services already rendered. The Governors budget plan must change. No more raiding of the pension plans. Only making, and/or adding newly "negotiated provisions" are legal, NOT unilateral, unconstitutional changes.

Stop Energy Fuels Inc. from mining uranium in the Paradox Valley in Colorado.

Regarding Student Loans. Currently the debt forgiven through the public service loan forgiveness plan is not considered taxable. We would like to extent this privilege as well to borrowers who qualify for loan forgiveness through IBR and ICR. After 300 timely payments, borrowers should not be taxed on the amount forgiven!!!! It will likely be totally unaffordable for larger loans.

Even though hand guns and knives no longer need to be in a holster or knife sheath in the state of Arizona, they still can be concealed in a waistband under a shirt or jacket or in a purse. It is difficult to conceal a rifle. According to Arizona state law, carrying a weapon unconcealed while on foot in a populated area can be construed as reckless display or even assault if someone feels threatened. Therefore, to avoid such situations that occurred on a bus in Tucson, AZ on June 25th, it is only prudent that long guns be carried in a carrying case if the owner is in a populated area.

Change the USG's policy regarding academic renewal to include any school in the United States, not only the university where the GPA was accumulated.

Move quickly to put H.R 3613 into law to give chronically ill Medicare Part D patients an avenue to fight skyrocketing out-of-pocket costs for their drugs. Don't make them choose between life-saving drugs and basic food and shelter!

Protect the Voting Rights of Egyptians Abroad! We are expressing our strong opposition to the disenfranchisement of Egyptian voters abroad in the lead-up to the parliamentary vote on Monday, November 28. In response to a lawsuit filed by Egyptians abroad, the Egyptian Administrative Court ruled on October 25, 2011 that Egyptian citizens living overseas have the right to vote in parliamentary elections. The court’s decision affirmed the basic civil right of Egyptians abroad to participate in Egyptian electoral politics as full and equal members of Egyptian society. It was a first for Egypt’s 7 to 10 million Egyptian citizens living abroad, and winning this right was a key demand of protesters in Tahrir. Rather than work dutifully to enforce this right, however, the Egyptian government conducted the registration and election process in a way that effectively excluded millions of Egyptians abroad eligible to vote. We call upon you to correct this disenfranchisement by 1) reopening the registration process for Egyptians abroad to give more time for them to register their place of residency, 2) extending the time allowed for voters to send their ballots to their embassies to accommodate weekends and holidays in their respective country of residence, and 3) ensuring that the website is robust, updated and capable of handling large volume of users. Whether government officials incompetently carried out their responsibilities to protect the right of Egyptians overseas to vote or deliberately erected barriers to their participation, we cannot say at this point. We do know that the chairman of the High Commission of Elections, the military council (SCAF), the Prime Minister and the Minister of Interior all had opposed granting Egyptians abroad the right to vote in this fall’s parliamentary elections. We must ensure that the most fundamental civil right of Egyptians abroad is protected and that every vote counts equally. We urge you to do all that you can to uphold the right of Egyptians abroad to vote in parliamentary elections so that the new, democratic election system that all patriotic Egyptians seek becomes a reality.
