Right to know if our food is genetically modifiedThe United States and Canada are among only a few countries in the world that doesn't require labeling on our vegetables and fruit notifying us that the product is genetically modified. The DNA modifications can affect our bodies causing all sorts of problems. We need to know what we are eating in order for us to stay healthy and keep our medical costs down.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kevan Welch

Ban BPA in all foodHi, Cans for food should be safe and not have dangerous chemicals. People need to feel safe. Health care costs can be reduced with this ban. That's why I created a petition to Monsanto, The Virginia State House, The Virginia State Senate, Governor Bob McDonnell, The United States House of Representatives, The United States Senate, and President Barack Obama, which says: "BPA has been banned in other countries as a health hazard. Why not here?" Will you sign this petition? Click here: http://signon.org/sign/ban-bpa-in-all-food?source=c.em.cp&r_by=2391984 Thanks!6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Andrew Klesh

Gun InsuranceAll registered guns should be insured; as the way automobile insurance is. Manditory Gun Insurance would slow down the purchasing of guns. A medical and eye exam would be updated each year. And a mental exam would be necessary also for a permit to purcase a gun. A class in handling a weapon would also be needed. These forms of completion would have to be shown to the local law enforcement of each city. Insurance Companies might assist in this legislation for the revenues and fine tuning of this bill.6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by michael restivo

Give California's health insurance regulators the power to do their jobsAetna just raised my individual health insurance policy 12 percent. Worse, according to the New York Times, "In California, Aetna is proposing rate increases of as much as 22 percent, Anthem Blue Cross 26 percent and Blue Shield of California 20 percent for some of those policy holders, according to the insurers’ filings with the state for 2013." Under current California law, our regulators can review rate requests only for technical errors but cannot deny rate increases. In other states, like New York, state regulators have denial authority and are already using it to curb these abuses.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by callmegina

Demand access to Al Jazeera EnglishAl Jazeera has won many awards for objective reporting of international news, an area of which Americans are generally ill-informed. The recent purchase of Current TV by Qatar makes it possible for Americans to obtain international news that is currently missing from the airwaves in the US.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by George Veronis

Illinois Tollway: Stop Blindsiding Drivers with Tollway FinesDrivers failing to pay missed tolls within the seven day grace period can lead to high tollway fines. $5 in missed tolls can potentially create $500 in tollway fines over the course of a year. Failing to pay these fines can lead to a suspended license without notification to the driver. Please provide drivers with the ability to search and pay for outstanding fines using their license plate number to avoid their license from being suspended.76 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Janel

Congressman Garrett, stand with NJ: Don't block Sandy relief!If you can believe it, one Congressman from New Jersey has said he may vote against the bulk of federal aid to rebuild his own state next week. Scott Garrett said he may vote against the rest of the New Jersey delegation and try to block the majority of federal aid for disaster victims citing 'wasteful spending.' Rebuilding roads and bridges. Helping families get back in their homes to start putting their lives back together. That's hardly waste. If Garrett were alone, that would be bad enough. But he’s joined by a Tea Party caucus that would rather see families suffer than admit that we actually have obligations to each other. So every vote will count. The House will vote on the Sandy relief package on Tuesday, January 15. Sign our emergency petition to Rep. Garrett not to block relief for Hurricane Sandy victims.3,139 of 4,000 SignaturesCreated by NJ Working Families Alliance

Don't close Texas' State Parks!From camping under the stars at Big Bend Ranch to exploring the cypress swamps of Caddo Lake, our state parks make life better here in Texas. They protect the clean water we depend on and provide a home for some of Texas’ most wondrous wildlife, from the black bear to the leatherback sea turtle. They're also a major economic engine for the state, generating more than one billion dollars in economic activity for local communities. But budget cuts may force the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) to close twenty state parks, cancel critical repairs, and fail to restore Bastrop State Park after devastating wildfires. We can do more to keep our parks safe and open. In fact, our parks already have a dedicated funding stream—sales taxes on sporting goods—but for too long, the Legislature has raided the fund, diverting the money for other purposes and leaving just the bones for our cash-strapped parks system.10,520 of 15,000 SignaturesCreated by Luke Metzger
