Seattle Tell Walmart: Decent Pay, Not Handouts!Shocking! Earlier this week, news broke that in Ohio Walmart has been holding a food drive, asking its employees to donate to their hungry coworkers. I have a better idea for Walmart: Pay your workers enough to feed their families. But there is hope for change! Around the country Walmart workers are standing up and in Washington State earlier this month they even went on strike for their right to speak out about issues like their low-wages without fear of Walmart retaliating against them. Workers and their supporters plan to hold protests at 1,500 Walmart stores around the country this Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving and the “Superbowl of Retail.” Sign my petition calling on Walmart to stop relying on other people’s generosity to support its low-road business model.357 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Jamie Way

Call it what it is: Move Walker’s Book to FictionThe nonpartisan Politifact, who has come out with a summary of Scott Walker’s half-truths, falsehoods and full-on “Pants on Fire” lies in his new book, Unintimidated. We as Wisconsinites and those committed to the truth, ask that Barnes and Noble lead the book market in a commitment to representing the facts by moving this revisionist history to the appropriate Fiction Section.3,358 of 4,000 SignaturesCreated by Wisconsin Progress

Middle Class Mortgage Assistance FairnessI am one of the people that have been harmed by this unfair practice. I have applied for modifications and have not had any positive results. I have seen people with no jobs receive help, banks received help, people in all financial situations got help which is great, but the middle class is getting left out. Home values in certain areas are almost back to their pre crisis prices, but home values in other areas are not going up. Principal reductions would level the playing field and keep people from walking away from mortgages as well as strengthen areas often left out behind.60 of 100 SignaturesCreated by David Sands

Its time for Walmart to pay a living wage.This holiday season, a Walmart store in Canton, OH is having a food drive. How nice. Except this food drive is for its own employees. Yes, you read that correctly. Walmart pays so little that a charity food drive seems like a good idea. But this is just the latest illustration of the poverty wages Walmart pays its employees. Clearly, it's time for Walmart to start paying it workers a wage they can live on. Sign our petition to Walmart Chairman S. Robson Walton, demanding Walmart start to pay its employees a living wage. Walmart's shady employment practices are well known. Instead of paying employees enough to eat, Walmart pays them so little that many qualify for food stamps. Instead of giving them a good health plan, Walmart pays them so little they qualify for Medicaid and food stamps. This is how Walmart uses taxpayer dollars to subsidize astronomical profits for its owners, the Walton family -- a family which is currently worth as much as the bottom 30% of American families combined. Having a food drive for your own employees illustrates Walmart's shameless labor practices. Sign our petition to Walmart Chairman S. Robson Walton today, demanding Walmart start to pay its employees a living wage. Thank you, Erin Wagner Digital Director Progressives United Progressives United was founded by former Senator Russ Feingold in February of 2011 to combat the corrupting influence of corporate money in our elections and government.272 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Erin Wagner, Progressives United

Respect Boeing Workers and Build the 777X in Washington!Boeing is flying high as one of the most successful corporations in the world, raking in billions of dollars each year. The company's CEO, Jim McNerney, has been rewarded handsomely for these record stock prices with a $265,575 pension every month. On top of this, just last week Boeing extracted another $9 billion in tax breaks from our legislature. Boeing is following the 21st century playbook for greedy corporations around the country. They divide us and force states to compete against neighboring states to offer the biggest tax breaks and the weakest environmental protections. They blackmail workers with threats of moving to another state or country with lower wages and weaker benefits. Then Wall Street bankers reward greedy CEOs with huge paydays and golden parachutes for expertly rigging the system against working families. When the machinist workers rejected Boeing's demands on Wednesday, they rejected this broken economic system and stood up for all working families. We need to stand with the Boeing workers and tell the Boeing executives to build the 777X here without holding Washington hostage!2,865 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Erin Haick

Just Label It: It's our right to knowAs research increased my awareness about the affects of Genetically Modified foods, further backed by scientific research and medical doctors whose patients improved after removal of GMOs, it became a passion to make labeling a requirement to benefit everyone. Florida's House Bill 1 (HB1) needs to be supported to make labeling a requirement. Your support signing this petition is appreciated and will let your voice be heard to our legislatures.86 of 100 SignaturesCreated by BrendaLee Smith
