Joe Heck: No Mount Ronald ReaganRonald Reagan was a disaster for Nevada. In 1980, 19,000 were without work. Just three years later, 59,000 were unemployed. In the same period, median household income dropped by $1,200 nationally. This bill does nothing to bring good jobs back or repair the aging infrastructure. It's time to stop pandering to special interests and start working on solutions. Working people in Nevada are still dealing with the consequences of deregulation and trickle down economics. Instead of pandering, he should be working to undo the damage. Only 14 presidents have had mountains named after them. This is about carving a political ideology into the landscape. It's just not appropriate. Joe Heck needs to stop taking his orders from Grover Norquist and start listening to his constituents.1,549 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Roger Hickey

Watching the Olympics Live Stream or with Event Replay on the NBC Website and App Should Be Acces...Watching the Olympics as a child inspired me to become an athlete and it gave me hope for the world. In trying to watch the Sochi Olympics, I have discovered that if you just have internet, your viewing experience is limited to overly commentated, commercial-strewn highlight videos. Only if you have a cable subscription , can you access the live streaming or full replays that the NBC website and App offer. If this technology exists then everybody should have access to it. The Olympics are for all.52 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Victoria Antonino

Whole Foods just fired a mom for the worst reasonWhole Foods--a company that thrives on its progressive image--just fired a woman for taking care of her special needs child during a snow storm. But it messed with the wrong mom. When Rhiannon Broschat told her co-workers what happened, they walked off the job with her to strike in protest. Now it's up to us to have their back and demand Whole Foods give Rhiannon her job back and change its policies so no employee has to choose between a sick child and a paycheck. As Rhiannon fearlessly told reporters, "I'm not going to choose my job over my son." But right now, that choice is costing her family the income they depend on. Rhiannon's story has been all over the news in Chicago, but still, Whole Foods has refused to back down. Tomorrow, supporters in Chicago are planning a huge protest. If we all speak out right now, as the protest plans are hitting the news, we'll create a media firestorm in the national press and convince them to do the right thing--or face a publicity nightmare. Will you join Rhiannon in demanding Whole Foods reverse its decision to fire her and change its policy so that workers never have to choose between taking a sick day and losing a job?5,258 of 6,000 SignaturesCreated by Nita and Shaunna, UltraViolet

DC Comics: Amanda Conner's Power Girl deserves an Absolute EditionIn addition, Amanda Conner’s interpretation of Power Girl represents a demographic much needed in an industry that gets a bad rap as simply a “boys’ club”. Power Girl is in a class of her own as a female character with her own title and with a female artist having top billing. If you look at the Absolute Editions currently out (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_Comics_Absolute_Edition), only three series have women as the title character: Danger Girl, Death, & Promethea. Not even Wonder Woman, one of DC’s “Big Three” superheroes, has an Absolute edition. How depressing is that? You can search for the “needles” of female creators in the “hay stack” of male dominated credits, but I already did that for you. Of all the Absolute Editions the highest billed female creator is Lynn Varley, who is the colorist for Absolute Dark Knight and Absolute Ronin. Another colorist, Laura Martin, comes in close second working on Absolute Planetary vol. 1& 2. With top billing usually going to the writer and artist, you will sadly find title page credits lacking female creators. Jill Thompson provided art for Neil Gaiman’s Sandman “The Parliament of Rooks” & “Brief Lives”, collected in Absolute Sandman vol. 2 & 3, yet her name is buried in a list with other artists. Absolute Death, another Neil Gaiman book, features art by Caitlin R. Kiernan, and much like Thompson, Kiernan is only listed as one of many artists. Rebecca Buchman, inker on a portion of Bruce Wayne: The Road Home is also barely visible in a list of creators in Absolute Batman & Robin: Batman Reborn.) In terms of female editors, there are none who hold top billing by themselves in your Absolute Editions: Kristy Quinn shares co-editing credit with Scott Dunbier in Absolute League of Extraordinary Gentlemen vol. 2, Karen Berger co-edited with Schott Nybakken on Absolute V for Vendetta, and Barbara Kesel shares an editing credit with Len Wein for Absolute Watchmen. The Absolute Editions are supposed to be the cream of the crop in terms of DC comics and they are sorely missing female title characters and creators. You would think by the current lineup that there are no female creators or characters that have a fanbase. An Absolute Edition of Amanda Conner’s Power Girl would send a message: that Amanda Conner is a top notch creator and artist, that there are female creators in the industry, and that leading publishers take them seriously and are interested in their talents and fandom. Power Girl can lead the way with introducing more readers to not only a strong female character, but a strong female artist and creator. But don’t do simply as an appeasement to female creators and fans. Do it because Power Girl is the cream of the DC comics crop and because many fans like me want an Absolute Edition Power Girl on coffee tables.15 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Robert da Silva
