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

Limit Congress and Senate terms to 8 yearsIts time for a change. We are tired of people with old ideology still representing the people in the House of Representatives and Senate. They are not in turn with the times. It’s time to get fresh people with new ideas. My petition is that we need to constitutionally change their term limit. These older people don't represent the young up-coming people.20 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Derek Patton

No More Tax Breaks During Times of Armed ConflictsWhen congress declared war on Iraq and Afghanistan it also gave tax breaks to stimulate the economy. Therefore, the U.S. went Trillions of dollars in debt in order to pay for those wars. If our lawmakers know that they are barred from giving tax breaks, during armed conflicts, they may rethink going into wars of choice.95 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Robert Tomlinson

Run Bonk Run!Aloha! The same rich folks and corporations have been calling the shots in Honolulu for far too long. It's time for a candidate that is unbought and unbossed to run for Honolulu Mayor. Someone who doesn't just say that they care, but actually does. Someone who has been in politics of all kinds , including elected office, for over 40 years and has never taken a dime from corporations. Not many people can say that. Someone who was Chair of the Hawaii County Council. Someone who puts people first, stands for open government, and has a long track record of working for a just and sustainable society. A Green. Someone who has never given up. She just keeps changing strategies and searching for new ways to make a positive difference. If you want REAL change, and not just smoke and mirrors, and tinkering on the edges while unmet problems continue to worsen, then *please* ask Keiko Bonk to run for Mayor. Or we can continue to expend lots of time, energy, and resources to play defense while special interests dump tons of money into the same old politicians - winning some battles, but losing many more in the long run. We really do need our best candidate to run if we’re going to win the race for Honolulu Mayor in 2016. Getting Keiko Bonk to run is our best chance to get a truly progressive mayor, and to put support for working families and the middle class at the top of the City and County of Honolulu agenda. I hope you’ll join me in saying #RunBonkRun Thanks! Frank DeGiacomo76 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Frank DeGiacomo

Stop Chris Christie's corporate giveaways!Over the last 5 years Governor Christie's Economic Development Authority has given $5.4 BILLION to the wealthiest and most politically connected .01 percent of New Jersey corporations – at a cost to our underfunded schools, crumbling roads and bridges, the state pension fund and struggling property taxpayers. Enough! J.P. Morgan. Lockheed Martin. Prudential. Panasonic. Citibank – all of them have received tens of millions in public dollars from Chris Christie. In exchange for tax cuts, they are supposedly creating jobs. But we have no idea whether they are actually doing so, because Chris Christie has never even bothered to ask them, despite being required to by law. In many cases we know for a fact that corporations just moved jobs from town to town. The worst, like Citibank and Campbell’s Soup, took the tax breaks and laid people off anyway. Here’s the worst part: every dollar doled out to Prudential is a dollar that can’t be spent fixing a bridge, paying a schoolteacher, or making college more affordable. While giving out billions in subsidies with one hand, Governor Christie has cut property tax credits for middle-class families and the Earned Income Tax Credit for people struggling on the brink with the other. These reckless subsidies have skewed our state budgets out of balance and put the interests of NJ’s richest residents and corporations ahead of the rest. Enough is enough.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Analilia Mejia

Overturn Reynolds v. SimsA basket of Supreme Court opinions, culminating in Reynolds v. Sims diluted the representation in rural counties in thirty states in 1964. Up until that decision, California, and many other states, had roughly one state senator for each county. This was consistent with the Connecticut Compromise as implemented in Article I, Sections 2 and 3 of the US Constitution where the House of Representatives is determined by population and the Senate is comprised of two individuals from each state ensuring small or less populous states have an equal footing in Congress. The Warren Court in 1964 invalidated this form of government for thirty states by manufacturing the doctrine of “one man, one vote” from the 14th Amendment which used population as the sole arbiter of representation in both houses of the state legislature.68 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Steve Baird
