I want to remove the corrupting influence of money in politics. I am in favor of the Free & Fair Elections Resolution to restore Democracy to the people.

Most pets are considered part of the family. If this tax is added, fewer people will be able to afford vet care, including spay and neuter procedures. This will increase the number of homeless, animals in shelters, and euthanized pets. This is not going to benefit the animals or the owners in any way, shape or form. It will add to the spread of diseases and parasites among animals and people due to the animals not be properly vaccinated, tested and dewormed.

I am in the top 5% and support equality in tax rates. I do NOT want preferential treatment because I am wealthy. Income is income.

Please demand an immediate shut down of the Enbridge Line 5 tar sands oil pipeline running beneath the Straits of Macinaw.

Warren Buffett, in a recent interview with CNBC, offers one of the best quotes about the debt ceiling: "I could end the deficit in 5 minutes," he told CNBC. "You just pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election. The 26th amendment (granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds) took only 3 months & 8 days to be ratified! Why? Simple! The people demanded it. That was in 1971 - before computers, e-mail, cell phones, etc. Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took one (1) year or less to become the law of the land - all because of public pressure. Warren Buffet is asking each addressee to SHARE this on Facebook or forward this email to a minimum of twenty people on their address list; in turn ask each of those to do likewise. In three days, most people in The United States of America will have the message. This is one idea that really should be passed around. Congressional Reform Act of 2012 1. No Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman/woman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they're out of office. 2. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security. All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose. 3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do. 4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%. 5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people. 6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people. 7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void effective 12/1/12. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen/women. Congress made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and back to work. If each person SHARES this on Facebook or contacts a minimum of twenty people then it will only take three days for most people (in the U.S. ) to receive the message. Don't you think it's time? THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS! If you agree, pass it on. If not, delete. You are one of my 20+ - Please keep it going, and thanks.

Dear Members of Frederick County Board of Supervisors: As a resident of Frederick County, I urge you to join with our neighboring cities and counties that have already adopted the 5¢ Disposable Plastic Bag Tax authorized under Virginia Code §58.1‑1745. This small, proven fee is one of the most effective tools available to reduce plastic litter, protect local waterways, and support a cleaner and healthier community.  Plastic bags are consistently among the most common items found in community cleanups and stormwater systems. They break down into microplastics that harm wildlife, clog drainage infrastructure, and create long‑term environmental and financial burdens for our city. Communities across Virginia that have implemented this fee have seen significant reductions in plastic bag waste. The fee is fully avoidable by bringing reusable bags, and the revenue collected is designated by state law for: • Litter prevention and cleanup • Environmental education • Providing reusable bags to low‑income residents This policy is practical, cost‑effective, and aligned with Frederick County's values of stewardship and community well‑being. I respectfully ask you to move this measure forward and help make Winchester a cleaner, more sustainable place for everyone. Sincerely, Frederick County Residents Enclosed: Petition Signatures (Online + Paper)
