The legalization and decriminalization of cannabis can help not only the community but the economy in a variety of ways. We can effectively lessen the amount of non-violent criminals and stop wasting the people's tax dollars to prosecute citizens who simply want a way to relax (not unlike beer drinkers). Furthermore, aside from the vast amount of medical uses for the substance, the plant itself can be cultivated and used in a myriad of economical ways. Better and healthier food, cleaner and more eco friendly fuel, sturdier fabrics and plastics, and smart and efficient fertilizer for our crops are only a few of the many things this wrongly prohibited plant can be used for. With the end of this useless and wasteful prohibition, we can keep our money out of the black market and put it back into the community and worldwide economy where it belongs. Please sign this petition to help Ohio move forward and prosper like the very heart of this country is supposed to.

According to sources, Harry Reid might be wavering on holding a vote on filibuster reform (in particular, not including the talking filibuster). Please call Harry Reid and let him know it's time to include measures in filibuster reform to end Republican obstructionism - if any Senator opposes a bill or nomination, they should have to stand on the Senate floor and defend their opposition!

I support the establishment of a Federal Sales Tax not to exceed 1.0% of sales for all items purchased (except food, gas and tobacco products) to be collected by the states and forwarded to a special fund dedicated to a national healthcare system and/or national health insurance for all citizens. It is my desire to see this tax be uncapped in support of proportionally equal taxes.

A Petition on Gun Safety 1. That automatic and semi-automatic weapons and any other “combat weapons” be made illegal. 2. That guns be licensed as automobiles are licensed. The license must accompany the owner any time a gun is carried, and no one may carry the gun except the owner. One of the requirements for gun ownership licensure be that the potential licensee receive training in gun safety, similar to the training required of law enforcement professionals. The license must be shown any law enforcement officer on request. 3. That gun owners must carry liability insurance on each gun. Such insurance should have a “non-insured pool” just as automobile liability insurance pools have. In any gun-related death or injury, a substantial payment should be paid to the survivor or the survivor’s survivors. At minimum it should be $100,000 per incident. 4. That everyone who purchases a gun undergo a background check. That a national database of gun owners be established, so that the record of a gun owner in one state may be viewed by gun vendors in any state. 5. That in every gun-related injury or death, a hearing be held, similar to that required of law enforcement professionals who discharge their weapons. If the owner is found to be negligent or unjustified in the firing of the weapon, the owner will permanently lose his or her license to own a gun. The results of the hearing should be entered into the gun owner’s record in the national registry, whether or not it resulted in a legal charge being filed. 6. That in the case of the theft of a gun, if the owner is found to have kept the gun other than in a locked and approved gun safe, the owner will lose his or her license to own any gun and shall forfeit all other guns.

We, residents of the Hudson Valley and the metropolitan New York and New Jersey areas, are demanding that the licensing renewals for the Indian Point nuclear power plant for 2013 and 2015 be denied, and that the plant is closed down as soon as possible. Studies have shown that with upgrades in the New York State power grid, with energy efficiency and conservation measures, and investment in renewable sources, Indian Point's capacity can be replaced with minimal cost to consumers.
