Dear Administrator McCarthy, Honey bees, native bees and other pollinators are responsible for one out of every three bites of food we eat. Many fruits and vegetables, including apples, blueberries, strawberries, carrots and broccoli, as well as almonds and coffee, rely on bees. These beneficial insects are critical in maintaining our diverse food supply. U.S. beekeepers have been consistently losing 40-100 percent of their hives. Widespread use of a new class of toxic pesticides, neonicotinoids, is a significant contributing factor. In addition to killing bees outright, research has shown that even low levels of these dangerous pesticides impair bees' ability to learn, to find their way back to the hive, to collect food, to produce new queens, and to mount an effective immune response. Already, 15 countries have imposed a two-year restriction on the use of several of these chemicals. However, the EPA continues to ignore scientists -- even those employed by the EPA -- and has delayed action until 2018. We request an immediate moratorium on the use of neonicotinoid pesticides. Bees can't wait five more years – they are dying now. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has the power and responsibility to protect our pollinators. Our nation's food system depends on it.

In 2010, a floodgate of unlimited, undisclosed money into political campaigns was opened with the Supreme Court ruling that the First Amendment prohibited the restriction of expenditures by corporations and unions because it violated the protection of free speech. As a result, democracy is being auctioned off to the highest bidder, and big money is calling the shots at our expense. Elected officials will soon become beholden to those who pour millions into their campaigns – not to their constituents who voted them in. We are seeking a constitutional amendment reversing the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision and clearly establishing that: • Corporations are not people; • Money is not speech; and • The people have the power to regulate all election finances. This effort is part of a nationwide network of campaigns working to pass 100 local resolutions in June. We are hoping you will join in this national effort by signing our petition. There are already dozens of cities – Los Angeles, New York City and 65 in Vermont alone – and three states – New Mexico, Hawaii and Vermont – that have passed resolutions. The California state assembly has just passed resolution AJR22, a measure that supports the reversal of Citizens United, which is now in the state senate and is expected to pass. We greatly appreciate your support in joining those who have already made strides to protect the integrity of our electoral process.

Dear Representatives Smith and Murphy: This petition is in response to HB1607 in which a business tax credit fund would be established to provide vouchers for children K-12 who choose an alternative to public school i.e, private, religious, or home school. We believe this bill, if passed, will weaken the entire public education system of New Hampshire as well as the quality of life within our local communities for the following reasons: Reductions in state funding will place financial burdens on local communities. Erosion of our local schools will result in lower property values. It is unconstitutional to allow tax dollars to pay for religious education. Private, religious and home schools are not held to the same standards as our public system. There is neither academic nor financial accountability to the Department of Education. It is unclear to whom and how scholarships will be administered. Additionally, private and religious schools may discriminate against any student applying. As your constituents, we implore you to focus any future public education legislation and distribution of tax dollars towards improving a system that is not broken but requires flexibility and resources to adjust to a new era of educating our children. We believe that all children, regardless of income or IQ, deserve the opportunity to thrive within that system given the support of parents, educators and community. Sincerely,

The 1st & 2nd Choice Petition To: Our fellow Americans, Congress, the Senate and the President From: We the People Regarding: The establishment of a 1st and 2nd choice in Presidential Elections. The Plan & Purpose: In order to make room for a third or fourth party to grow and, possibly, in the future, elect a President, We the People who endorse this petition, do hereby direct our national leaders to do that which is necessary to make it possible for citizens voting in a Presidential election to have a 1st and 2nd choice for President. The voter would make their 1st choice and 2nd choice and, if there 1st choice did not get enough votes to win, then, their 2nd choice would automatically get their vote. In this way, a voter could choose to support the emergence of a 3rd party that might be more in line with their values, without wasting their vote and having a person elected President who is their least desired candidate. This new way of electing Our President would break up the two party monopoly and make the two party candidates more receptive to ideas outside the traditional two party system. This new way would create a more dynamic, progressive, way of fulfilling the Constitutional Imperative of – Government of, by and for (all of) the people. Conceived & Communicated by: Richard R. Roller (310) 720-3234 cell

We are currently in the midst of a massive new covid wave - the first real wave since the ending of our joint Back to Work COVID protocols and we are seeing: Waves of unidentified illnesses moving through cast and crew. A paralysis of production to apply for permission to enact protocols independently A loss of crew and cast to illness impacting production. An atmosphere of unease as many feel they are being put in a position of doing their work while risking harm to self and possibly taking an acquired illness home (in December, for the holidays) to infect family. We know that protocols such as testing on set, masking, and zone isolation work and allow us to do our jobs with greater confidence and minimal inconvenience leading to a healthier work environment and fewer production delays. These protocols can be dependent, as they were during phase out, on an agreed threshold of community illness levels but what we doing know is that working with NO protocols in a major wave of illness is not sustainable and is dispiriting to cast and crew. We demand that the combined film/tv production unions and the AMPTP establish a new set of Transmissible Disease Protocols to jointly enact when community transmission levels, wastewater monitoring, or hospitalizations indicate an increase in risk to health and safety on set from communicable disease.

It’s a tragedy that mass shootings have become a “normal” act in every day life in America. We’re supposed to be the “greatest country in the world” but we have, on average, two mass shootings a day. Now, if that’s such a high number and the nation is so sad about hearing this news, then why do we give the person holding a gun a platform? Why do we give that human the right to have his name, photo, video coverage any airtime on television? Isn’t that exactly what they want?  I’m here to voice my opinion to take away mass shooters’s rights the second they decide to pull the trigger in a public place by never saying their name, showing their face, or video footage of them. They want the fame and glamour of people “remembering who they are and what they did.”  Take away their fame and ability for people to remember who they were. It’s disgusting. I hate turning the news on and seeing the mass shooter’s face all over the television. I would much rather only hear and see the people who that wicked person massacred. I would rather hear about the people’s families and the stories about the people who were devastatingly pulled from this world. I do not want to hear or see the people who causes unnecessary harm.
