NH Rep. Dan Eaton is trying to have Bill 1428-FN passed for the removal of roadside memorials, stating that they are a distraction for drivers. This concerns me because my son passed on 2011 and has a beautiful, well-kept roadside memorial that is unobtrusive. This memorial has also had numerous notes left from total strangers stating how beautiful it is and how they can feel the love that is shown there. Please sign this petition to put a stop to Bill 1428-FN. Let roadside memorials remain for family and friends and strangers to gather and pay respect. We already lost someone we love, don't take this away from the ones who remain behind.

New Jersey could become a national model for smart, socially just cannabis laws. A coalition of small farmers and other New Jersey residents have compiled the following strong recommendations: 1. Ensure that people of color benefit from the economic opportunities resulting from the end of cannabis prohibition, which brings immense and disproportionate harm to communities of color. 2. Bring justice to all those convicted of non-violent marijuana-related offenses in the form of amnesty — commuted sentences, expunged criminal records — because no one should benefit from legalized cannabis while so many still suffer from its illegality. 3. Allow small farmers — many of whom are struggling — to grow and sell marijuana and hemp, either as individual businesses or as members of larger cooperatives. 4. Permit cannabis to be grown in soil and exposed to direct sunlight, and not only in warehouses. 5. Sanction only the organic production of cannabis, in order to establish both marijuana and hemp as safe and sustainable crops (in contrast to chemical-intensive industrial crops which cause so much damage to human health, natural ecosystems, and the global climate). 6. Pursue legal action to force the federal government to remove cannabis from the "Schedule 1 of the Controlled Substances Act" list, which is supposed to be reserved for drugs with no medical use. 7. Facilitate the creation of industry standards for the production of safe medicine from cannabis, a key issue as unsafe, unregulated cannabis products (in the form of CBD oil) become available across the United States. It is critical that we refuse to allow entrenched interests (such as the liquor lobby or pharmaceutical companies) to dictate the future of cannabis in New Jersey and across the United States. The war against cannabis prohibition may be coming to an end, but it will be a false victory unless the benefits of legalization are widely shared.

All New Jersey residential property tax be reduced or eliminated and be offset by a revenue-neutral increase in personal earned income tax.

Currently, people registered as Independent voters are not allowed to vote in primaries, which silences us in some of the most crucial decisions in the United States. Allow all voters, including Independent voters, to cast our votes in all elections, and lift the prohibitively long wait times to register and to switch one's party.

We the students of New York State oppose Governor Cuomo’s education reforms as outlined in his 2015 State of the State address. Cuomo's plan gives too much weight to flawed standardized tests and uses them to unjustly evaluate teachers.
