Get Corporate Money out of PoliticsThe Citizen's United ruling has turned our election system upside down. Now, a few multi-millionaires and corporate interests can determine the outcome of our elections. If we do not put a stop to this, our glorious experiment in democracy is dead.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Don Emery

Recall Arizona Attorney General Thomas HorneWe believe that both Mr. Montgomery and Mr. Horne, by their recent actions, have violated their oath of office and abused their authority. Additionally, we are alleging that the threat of additional legal actions by Montgomery and Horne amounts to a violation of public trust; they are purporting to use finite public funds to thwart the will of the Arizona voters. Mr. Horne opinion states that the Arizona Medical Marijuana Act, passed by voters in November 2010, is pre-empted in part by federal law. Horne said the state can’t authorize actions that are forbidden under federal law. A state can, however, decriminalize marijuana under its own laws. Nevertheless, On August 7th, County Attorney Bill Montgomery makes the startling announcement that, because of the Attorney General’s legal opinion (which has no legal force or effect) he arbitrarily decides to nullify the peoples vote and promises to prosecute anyone who grows marijuana in Maricopa County, this includes dispensaries, caregivers and even card holding patients with debilitating conditions. He further threatens to prosecute any dispensary that opens in this county. It is not a secret and the records speaks for itself, Mr. Montgomery, Mr. Horne, and Governor Brewer have been and continue to be been staunch opponents of Medical marijuana. But Sobol believes that they crossed the line from a concerned public servant to a personal agenda advocate. They have added insult to injury by using finite public funds to thwart the will of the Arizona voters. As a medical marijuana patient, I ask for your help to recall Arizona Attorney General Thomas Horne from office. To recall County Attorney Bill Montgomery go to : http://signon.org/sign/recall-maricopa-county?source=c.em.cp&r_by=3614431 We need 205,000 signers.

Congress–Reset to factory defaultsThe greatest threat that we Americans face today is the career politician. Politicians get elected to represent constituents from their home state, but far too often they arrive in Washington and, although they may have had good intentions, they are sucked up into the whirlpool of corporate lobbyists and special interests groups and a system of career politicians who have forgotten who they work for. Somewhere along the line, Congress has turned from a group of elected people “Of the people, by the people, and for the people”, into a group of elitist who do whatever they must to remain in power. When and where did they get the idea that if you don’t agree completely, you don’t have to do anything? If you or I did that, we’d be unemployed in a heartbeat. Congress is at a stalemate, bogged down in Ideological mud, and everybody is slinging it. It is frozen, much like my computer sometimes is. When my PC freezes, I hit control/alt/delete and reboot it. That is what this country needs; to reboot or restart. How do we do it? Start with the brain, the idea center where it all begins: Congress. Do this, and then sit back and watch how fast they can overcome their ideological differences and reach across the aisles.295 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Dean Lynch

HIRE RETURNING VETERANS AND SAVE THE POST OFFICE FROM PRIVATIZATIONThe Post Office "losses" are due to a poison pill bill passed to prefund retiree health benefits for the next 75 years! Some can not stand that P.O. is color blind in hiring--too many "minorities" are getting good paying jobs because civil service exams can not discriminate.They want to close post offices and lay off hundreds of thousands of hard working employees. Also, Veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan should get extra bonus points so they can be hired. Benjamin Franklin understood how important the P.O. is to our democracy. We can not let this institution be privatized.7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Deborah Ritchey

LET'S GET REAL ABOUT THE DEBTLet's start with challenging the two US presidential contenders to pledge 60% (or more) from their resective ad campaigns towards retiring THE DEBT. If this could be accomplished challenge every US household to commit $5 per month towards the same goal. I believe that once people are convinced that our leaders hold the country's interests above their own politrical aspirations and greed, our citizens will want to contribute. This is an update to JFK's challenge: Ask not what your country can do for you - ask what YOU can do for your country!1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by PEGGY N. FOX
