Your administration recently forced George Elmaraghy to resign from the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency because he was doing his job of protecting Ohio's water from coal pollution, which is also fueling climate change. We are outraged that you are putting coal industry greed over the health and well-being of our children, grandchildren, environment, and communities. We call on you to give Mr. Elmaraghy his job back immediately.

McDonald's, we call on you to pay every worker enough to afford the healthcare they need to live. As Myrna's tragic case shows, McDonald's low pay can be a matter of life and death.

President Molina, we applaud and support your proposal for drug legalization in Central America and beyond. Vice-President Roxana Baldetti, we support your efforts to promote this proposal to the Central-American leaders. We fully support Guatemalan request to open a debate on drug legalization at the Sixth Summit of the Americas on April 14-15, 2012. President Obama, we urge you to not stall the courageous process initiated by Guatemala, and to allow a truthful debate to take place. We urge you to show the courage and vision to add your positive contribution to the debate. President Calderon and President Santos, we urge you to throw the full support of Mexico and Colombia behind the Guatemalan proposal. Presidents Martinelli of Panama, Laura Chinchilla of Costa Rica, Funes of El Salvador, Lobo of Honduras, and Ortega of Nicaragua, we urge to add the support of your countries to the Proposal advanced by the Guatemalan Government. Despite the enormous resources wasted on it, the War on Drugs has failed, bringing destruction and chaos all over the world, affecting particularly the Central American region, thanks to its position on the major transit route to the US. Prohibition is the worst possible form of control as it leaves control in the hands of powerful criminal organizations. The time has come to seek more realistic and pragmatic approaches, asking the simple but fundamental question: “Are organized societies capable and willing to manage and control psychoactive substances, instead of leaving it to organized crime?” Global re-legalization under a multi-tiers “legalize, tax, control, prevent, treat and educate” regime with practical and efficient mechanisms to manage and minimize societal costs is the only realistic long-term solution to the issue of illegal drugs. Far from giving up and far from an endorsement, controlled legalization would be finally growing up; being realistic instead of being in denial; being in control instead of leaving control to the underworld. It would abolish the current regime of socialization of costs and privatization of profits to criminal enterprises, depriving them of their main source of income and making our world a safer place.

For four decades the captivating sculpture of "Abraham and Isaac" by George Segal, which was donated to KSU in memory of May 4th, has stood in exile at Princeton University after begin foolishly rejected by KSU officials. It is time to reverse that rejection. It is time to end the exile. As the 50th anniversary of this grave American tragedy approaches, it is time to bring this thought-provoking work of art to its proper and intended home on the campus of Kent State University, preferably permanently but alternately on loan for the 2019-2020 academic year.

I believe that Medicare and Social Security should be means tested. On Medicare, I think those earning over $50,000 in retirement should definitely pay more for their coverage. On Social Security, I think anyone earning over $50,000 in retirement should only receive what they have personally paid in and not a penny more. I believe that would solve our financial issues with both programs. We do not need to subsidize Warren Buffett or George Soros.

WE the People ... of Berkshire county, ask you to do what is right for our state...follow this example. The Washington, D.C. City Council yesterday passed a resolution opposing hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling for natural gas in the George Washington National Forest due to concerns that such development might contaminate drinking water supplies. We are still trying to get our rivers clean from PCB'S. Ban fracking and its chemicals from the Berkshires. That includes the pipeline.

George Zimmerman's shooting of Trayvon Martin, an African American teenager, reveals a history of racism not only in Sanford, FL. but that's not the only place racism is taken the life and freedoms of African American men. We ( Khiara and I) urge you to sign this petition to protect her "Daddy" literally from being lynched. Missouri's Governor Jay Nixon and Attorney General Chris Koster must step in and provide justice for Aaron Roberts and his daughter Khiara Roberts and his family, and the community.

Shift government subsidies and incentives from military and fossil fuel adventures, like hydro-fracking, to energy efficiency incentives for end users. Tax the ultra rich at pre-George W. Bush levels, and put those funds toward helping companies manufacture renewables. Subsidize our US made panels and turbines so that the cost to consumers is considerably less than what can be bought from our competitors overseas. The green economy will bring a huge net gain in jobs.

Bob Kroll, the leader of the Minneapolis police union, just called George Floyd a “violent criminal,” called the protests a “terrorist movement,” and he is defending the four officers who participated in killing Floyd. Kroll has said “I’ve been involved in three shootings myself, and not a one of them has bothered me.” We call on you to denounce and publicly call for the resignation of Bob Kroll as the leader of the Minneapolis Police Federation, and commit to removing him from power.

Please see to it we don't change MI's system of electing the President of the U.S.A. .
