By ending pot prohibition, free scarce law enforcement resources to focus on stopping child pornographers.

The most serious threat facing our democracy during this difficult time is the shutting out of respected press because they write the truth and that truth does not always support the current administration. In the midst of many challenges, this is the most serious.

Donald Trump is demanding that Congress rescind all funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.  Donald Trump and his allies want to defund independent public journalism because it threatens MAGA's grip on the national narrative. This is right out of the authoritarian playbook—controlling the free press and limiting the public’s access to information. Sign the petition now to demand that Congress protect public broadcasting!

Establish a "Catch and Release Only" zone for the lower Cayadutta Creek.

While drugs need to be legalized everywhere it seems that someone needs to start the ball rolling. Legalized drugs in Portugal brought down the rate of drug use by 10-50 per cent depending on who you read. Our elected Representatives don't seem to listen. My petition is to let the elected leaders of Mexico know that the American people are behind them and to not bow to the pressure they are sure to face in July when legalization proceedings will begin.

Allow workers to be compensated for previous injuries which were undisclosed to worker, or which have given rise to uncompensated health issues.

We the people of the United States are dedicated to the preservation of our government and constitution. We understand that the government is not the problem but the elected officials who spend time and money getting re-elected, NOT doing the peoples business, therefore we vow to re-elect no one. We want to clear ‘em out and start fresh every election cycle until the government becomes functional and carries out the will of the people. We as Independents, Democrats and Republicans all unanimously re-elect no one!

Support funding for the Arts through the NEA The arts mean jobs! The nonprofit arts industry generates $166.2 billion annually in economic activity, supports 5.7 million full-time equivalent jobs in the arts and related industries, and returns $12.6 billion in federal income taxes. Measured against direct federal cultural spending of about $1.4 billion, that's a return of nearly nine to one. Grants through the NEA are widely distributed to strengthen arts infrastructures and ensure broad access to the arts. In addition, the NEA distributes 40 percent of its program dollars to state arts agencies, on the condition that each state devotes its own appropriated funds as well. In partnership with the NEA, state arts agencies awarded 23,000 grants to 17,500 organizations, schools, and artists in nearly 5,000 communities across the United States. Federal funding for the arts leverages private funding. The NEA requires at least a one-to-one match of federal funds from all grant recipients—a match far exceeded by most grantees. On average, each NEA grant leverages at least seven dollars from other state, local, and private sources. Private support cannot match the leveraging role of government cultural funding.

Sign this petition to bring the Motion Picture Production Code back to Hollywood. The censorship which made the golden era of films in the 1930s, 40s, and 50s will clean up the film industry and make America once again, as our founding fathers named it, “a city on a hill!”

There is overwhelming data showing teens need more sleep. When high schools start at 7:00 AM many students are not fully prepared to start their day.
