  • CONGRESS: WE WANT YOUR HEALTHCARE
    If one is lucky enough to have a job, and one with health benefits , these benefits are usually lost when we retire. When a member of Congress serves one term, he/she and their families gets benefits for life. Studies have shown that the stress created by simply worrying about lack of healthcare can bring on illness. It is time to end this inequity. Please sign this petition and urge Congress to apportion a small percentage of the corporate profits that line their pockets to provide us with the healthcare we deserve.

  • Thank President Obama for Obamacare
    Two years ago, my mother, Rhonda, lost her job. Then she lost her health insurance. She needed major surgery, but was so worried about bankrupting our family with hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical bills that she waited. She waited until she couldn't hold off any longer without risking her life. The Affordable Care Act (aka, "Obamacare") came along just in time. It saved her life, and has already helped many more Americans get desperately needed health care. And it happened because we fought for it in Congress, online, on the phones, and in the streets. Now that the Supreme Court has upheld Obamacare and its protections, my mother--along with millions of other Americans—can feel confident that they’ll be able to get the care they need. And that makes me very thankful. Let’s join together in thanking President Obama for his work to pass Obamacare and protect the lives of millions of Americans.

  • End Psychiatry, Develop the Adult Mind
    I incredibly survived 31 years of psychiatry. A nurse in an emergency room said, Your mind cannot learn on drugs. "Go to 12-step group. They teach the mental tools needed to live in this world and enjoy it." Love empowers bonding and self-abilities. (Self-esteem, and so forth ) It only took me 6 months to change from the terrified child mind to the love-directed nonviolent adult mind. Most people do not survive psychiatry.

  • U.S. Food Supply
    Our U.S. food supply is dangerous. Crops are genetically altered. Packaged and processed foods have taken over our diets. This has lead to obesity along with super sized portions and fast foods. We need to eat from the earth. We need to reeducate our citizens.

  • Healthcare reduction costs
    Due to the spiraling cost of health care and the coninuing coverage reduction of it for goverment and private sector jobs, I propose that all health care for any elected leader be eliminated. They can buy their coverage on the open market like all self employed busness owners & many of the private citizens. This would be a great cost savings for the American tax payers.I belive this would help drive the cost of health care down due to the fact that NOW our leaders have skin in the game to lower health care costs not only for us the American tax payer, but themselves.

  • Kasich removes Social Workers from Long Term Care Facilities
    Governor Kasich signed Ohio HB487 declaring it no longer requires Social Workers in Long term care Facilities with less than 120 beds. It is described as loosening the regulations for Nursing Homes. Apparently we are taking a huge step backward in caring for our elderly... again placing Psychosocial needs of people behind. Now Nursing Facilities will be free to hire untrained staff to address these areas.... all in an effort to save a few dollars of profit for the for-profit healthcare industrial complex. Because we certainly know Social Workers salaries break the bank!!!!

  • Oppose the Ironically-Named Michigan "Patients First Reform Package"
    This is a petition opposing Michigan House Bills 5669, 5670, 5671 and 5672, also known as Medical Malpractice Reform Bills or Patients First Reform Package. The most concerning aspect of this reform package is House Bill 5670, which states in part that an individual will not be found liable for medical malpractice if the individual "exercises professional judgment if the person acts with a reasonable and good-faith belief that the person's conduct is both well-founded in medicine and in the best interest of the patient". As patients we trust and hold our physicians to high standards and believe that they follow well-established standards of medical care. This provision would set aside those standards of care for a highly subjective determination of the "reasonableness" of conduct based upon it being "well-founded in medicine" as well as "in the best interests of the patient". This bill allows doctors to avoid meritorious lawsuits, and it is tantamount to saying, ‘I’m a good driver, I didn’t mean to hurt anyone and I was using my best judgment’ after causing a car accident.' What matters is whether you caused the accident.
