Governor Kitzhaber: "Stand with us to overturn Citizens United".Our government is under attack by corporate money, and Citizens United gives corporations more power in government. As super PACs grow, money continues to represent speech, allowing corporations to influence Washington more than our own citizens. We need your support on a constitutional amendment to get money out of politics.8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by leta sellers

Stop the Right-Wing Attack on Eric HolderAttorney General Eric Holder is currently under a vicious attack from right-wing extremists simply for enforcing our laws. These extremists our attacking the very fabric of what democracy is all about and they must be held accountable. It's bad enough to have these Un-American Extremists attacking our president and attorney general for their personal reasons but they are also attacking the offices of these great leaders.17 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Eric r McCarroll

Stop the Protection of Foreign Businesses That Act Against American CommunitiesThe Obama administration is secretly negotiating a trade pact with Pacific Ocean trading partners, the "Trans Pacific Partnership" (TPP). The TTP pact will limit how US governments at all levels can regulate foreign firms in the USA, extend incentives for American firms to move abroad, allow foreign firms to sue the US government in international tribunals, and allow foreign firms to demand compensation for the costs of complying with American financial and environmental regulations. This will increase the power of big business in America to even greater heights.

Veterans (IRRR)This Veterans refinance program is not suppose to request credit score for approval of this! Chase and First merit and other mortgage companies are still requiring your credit score, even though this program specifically for VETERANS states that a credit score will not be needed. The banks already messed up veterans credit scores by the actions that were previously reprimanded, such as charging active duty personnel more interest than they were allowed to by Law.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ernestine L..

Tell Wall Street: Stop the J.P. Morgan LoopholeBankers on Wall Street wrecked our economy by taking reckless risks in pursuit of massive paydays. And, as J.P. Morgan has made clear, Wall Street learned nothing and is still gambling. There's nothing wrong with high-risk trading, but if the bets go bad, only the people who made the bets should have to pay. That's why this gambling should happen in hedge funds, not in the federally-insured banks that families and small businesses depend on. That’s why I successfully fought, with your help, for a ban on high-risk trading by big Wall Street banks. This rule, called the Volcker rule firewall, is meant to ensure that Wall Street’s bad bets blow up, you and I don’t get burned again. But for the last two years, Wall Street's legion of lobbyists have been trying to blow holes in that firewall. Now they want the Fed to write the “J.P. Morgan loophole” into law. We can’t let that happen. Join me in urging Ben Bernanke and the Fed to close down the JP Morgan loophole. Senator Jeff Merkley77,144 of 100,000 SignaturesCreated by Jeff Merkley

This is so dam wrong for our leader on both side of the isle to allow this to happen to the american people.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Brad Alumbaugh

Don't take public transit off the iphoneApple will be releasing their own map app on their upcoming operating system, and no longer using google maps. Public transit has been removed. They say they're leaving that up to third parties now. Many people can't afford cars, or want to help the environment, and others like me can't drive due to a disability. I've relied heavily on my iphone and google maps access to public transit data. I don't think its right that apple has taken away that functionality with their own map. if you agree sign my petition asking apple to reconsider and include public transit directly in their map app.185 of 200 SignaturesCreated by John Flud

Amend Constitution To Overrule Citizens UnitedThe U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Citizens United gives corporations the power to act as citizens, and to donate unlimited resources to defeat the will of the people. It is the worst decision of that court during my lifetime, and I'm an 81 year old lawyer.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ernest Thayer

Walmart asked to Sell American made ProductsMy petition is about forcing big stores to return to selling more Made in the USA products and less foreign made stuff.A lot of what we have to buy now is inferior quality and looks cheap.By requesting this change in business practices,it would be necessary to get factories up and running so Walmart would be the forerunner in getting the American people back to work..I am tired of not being able to find a SINGLE item in the store that is made in the USA.No wonder we are in such deep trouble.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ms.Carolyn Hebert
