Stop Jade Helm 15I think the military can train on their bases. We don't need surprise training in our neighborhoods. What is the reasoning behind this? Is this one of the reasons we as a nation started a revolution against the British? Stop this now, America.14 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Michael James

Let's MOVE ON to REAL Progressive politics!I have been a US Senate candidate as a Democrat and know that trying to unseat a fake progressive is an almost impossible task because of Party politics. This country needs a viable, pleasantly aggressive progressive to run for U.S. President. We have potential choices. Senator Sanders is an Independent but caucuses with Democrats and is about as left as they get for the most part. Governor O'Malley is a reasonably left, progressive choice as well. This petition is about changing the conversation from the media and Party picking our candidates and telling us to pick the 'shoe-in', vs we the people picking who runs the White House in the next 4 years. Lets see if MoveOn will help or hinder here. I hope you sign this in droves. I encourage you to help make this petition successful. Change the conversation.19 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Dr. Scott Noren

Full and Pure Democracy in the U.S.My reasons for doing so should be self-evident. We common people need to wrest control of the Federal government from the hands of the one per cent wealthy on Wall Street and in the Pentagon who are hell-bent on turning the U.S. into a plutocratic oligarchy--something akin to Western Europe during the age of feudalism. We common people need and demand nothing less than full and pure democracy as classical Athens, Greece invented it.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Timothy H. Simandl

Recall Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-BlakeBecause of the lack of leadership and planning, the city of Baltimore is in a state of emergency. We have police hurt, businesses burned down, and youth put into the criminal system over this. Good leadership was not in place and could have saved the city and state millions of dollars.150 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Jamahl L Dunn

Stand with Elizabeth Warren and Sherrod Brown: Urge President Obama to release the full text of t...Senators Elizabeth Warren and Sherrod Brown have been at the forefront of the fight against the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal—so much so that they were attacked repeatedly by the Obama Administration last week, being called "dishonest" and accused of spreading "misinformation" by President Obama himself. The TPP—which has been called "NAFTA on steroids"—is a trade agreement that could potentially affect 40% of the world economy. Progressives in the U.S. and around the world have been fighting it for years. And, years into the fight, the content of the deal is still being kept secret from the public. Now, TPP advocates are closer than ever to rushing this deal through Congress. Both houses of Congress could vote on what are called "fast track" bills in early May. If these pass, it would give lawmakers only 90 days for an up-or-down, yes-or-no vote to ratify the entire treaty—and take away any power to change its provisions. If President Obama wants the support of the American public and the progressive allies who helped elect him, he should make the text of the TPP available for public review before Congress votes to approve Fast Track authority. His predecessor George W. Bush made his trade agreement texts public—it's the least President Obama can do.498 of 500 SignaturesCreated by MoveOn.org

Impeach Governor Paul LePageThe Governor of Maine is using his executive powers to circumvent the will of the people of Maine by withholding bond monies to extort the ability to harvest wood from our state forests. He has indicated a desire to change the constitution in an effort to prevent future administrations from ever changing legislation he implements. Many of these changes are unsupported by the attorney general because they are not legal. As a result, he wishes to change the system so that the attorney general is no longer part of the legislative process as it now stands. Now, it's come to light that Governor Paul LePage blackmailed a private, nonprofit school for at-risk youth into firing one of his political opponents. By his own admission, he threatened to cut state funding for the Good Will-Hinckley school because it hired Democratic House Speaker Mark Eves to be its president. The school in turn fired Speaker Eves. Four Maine lawmakers, including a Republican, two independents, and one Democrat, have formally requested that the Legislature's oversight committee launch a formal investigation. Attorney General Janet Mills said she is “very troubled” by the governor's actions. The Portland Press Herald, our state's largest newspaper, has called on the Legislature to consider impeachment. Unless new facts emerge that somehow absolve the governor despite his own admissions, he should be impeached and tried in the state Senate. It's time to hold Gov. LePage accountable.23,604 of 25,000 SignaturesCreated by Barbara Moore

Lockdown the Washington State Legislature to Fund K-12 EducationThe Washington State Legislature has ignored both an order from the state Supreme Court and Initiative 1351 passed by the voters to fully fund K-12 education as mandated by the State Constitution. It is in their power to create a tax system that can fully fund all education and other state services that are needed in Washington state.133 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Karin Engstrom

Audit the Pentagon: Hold them accountable!The Department of Defense recently asked for $585 billion for its operations around the world, totaling half of our discretionary budget. But guess what: The Department of Defense has never – not once – passed an audit of its activities. That’s a real problem, and we’re going to do something about it. Legislation is currently pending to require an audit of the Pentagon’s activities, so you know exactly what you’re getting for your tax dollars. Join us in calling on Congress to pass the bill!5,731 of 6,000 SignaturesCreated by Senator Ron Wyden

Expose the F.B.I. 'DO-NOT-WORK' list Veterans are placed on. Stop it.Veterans in our Nation kill themselves / commit suicide almost one per hour each day, every day. They are Veterans both young and old, male & female. Is there a hidden common denominator at work?? I believe there is, and it's called the **'No-Work-List'**; a list I believe I myself have been placed on, along with countless numbers of former members of our Nations Armed Forces. The goal of the list / plan is to get the Veteran to submit / comply, by way of financial distress, with a system contaminated with deep seated institutional corruption. Being placed on the list causes financial distress for the Veteran and his family, which in many cases drives the Veteran toward economic death followed by mental distress / spiritual death and actual physical death (SUICIDE). I am at the cusp of my research (SCIENCE) project. I am determined to establish the existence of the **'No-Work-List'** and present my findings to American Society , the public, along with data on the correlation between Veteran Suicide and the existence and outcomes of the **'No-Work-List'** .15 of 100 SignaturesCreated by carl p larson
