Walgreens Should Break Ties with Donald TrumpDonald Trump is initiating negative behavior and speech in regards to our country. If someone of his stature and following can Tweet "Start a Revolution and bring it to the White House" to millions of people at a time of national divide, that isn't someone we need to do business with. That is a statement that some people will take literally, and it will perpetuate violence. This isn't about Republican, Democrat, or Independent. This is strictly common sense. In this past election, we saw what our voices can accomplish, and we should continue to use them to bring about change.532 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Keesha Williams

Dump the Grover Norquist No Tax PledgeOne of the reasons there's a stalemate in government is that most of the Republican representatives have signed the Grover Norquist pledge to never, under any circumstances, ever raise taxes. Failure to do so will result in an effort to keep the offending candidate from getting on the ballot in the first place or, if serving, removed during the next election cycle. Grover Norquist wasn't elected to any public office, yet his tactics are holding the country hostage and threaten the entire economic system. It's time to disavow Grover Norquist and his pledge. Tell your elected representative you didn't vote for him to represent Grover Norquist. You voted for them to represent you and your community's interests.573 of 600 SignaturesCreated by ALex Burger

Constitutional Amendment to Repeal Citizens UnitedThe U.S. Supreme Courts decision called Citizens United has undermined the foundations of our democratic society in so much as special interests feel they can buy the government and representitives. It is essential that we end this threat to our country as quickly as is possible. I don't want my government up for sale. I don't want big money interests manifesting themselves in the form of Grover Norquist to control public officials. I would also ask that operations such as Grover Norquist be outlawed since it corrupts members of government.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Daniel Pfoltzer

Stop broadcasting false or misleading news.Canada has repeatedly denied Fox News a license to broadcast in that country because they have truthfulness in journalism standards. In Canada a publicly licensed broadcaster may not broadcast any false or misleading news. Imagine that? The public owns the airwaves - what if we demanded the truth from ALL sides? Wouldn't that be a good starting point? Reagan abolished the truthfulness in the media. We used to believe the airwaves belonged to the people, now it belongs to corporations or Super Pacs. Let's make the liars accountable.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Deb Torguson Pollio

No Big Profits from Student LoansThe banking industry should not be allowed to make huge profits from student loans that borrowers are not allowed to discharge through hardships or bancrunpcy. They are charging high interest rates and raking in the money from student loan borrowers, collecting in some cases 400% of the original loan taken out, knowing that it is practically guaranteed to be paid as student loans are next to impossible to be forgiven. If student loans remain that difficult to discharge, all student loan borrowers PAST and PRESENTshould be allowed to have a reduction in their student loan interest rates to something reflective of a savings account rate, in the realm of 1% to 3%. My loan rate is 9% on a loan taken out in the early 1990's, one of which I am still paying on dispite having paid back more than twice what I borrowed, and with a future of paying back another two times more before the loan is paid. Please help.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by David Fawcett

Stop Attack Ads Once and for AllThis year's embattled election may be over, but the bitter, vicious attack ads used by campaigns and politicians won't go away. Once election cycles start up again, so will the ads. Isn't it time we asked for more? Shouldn't we demand intelligent, thoughtful discourse from those seeking elected leadership? Wouldn't it be more beneficial to get answers, not attacks?12 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Cami Cacciatore

Corporate lobbying should be outlawedThe practice of large, wealthy corporations spending lavishly to influence Congressional legislation needs to be outlawed. It is clear that this practice promotes legislation that caters to special interests at the expense of the common good for American citizens. This is tantamount to "insider trading" on Wall Street.20 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Al Ciuffetelli
