Expunge Bankruptcies Caused by Unaffordable Medical Expenses.Millions of Americans have been and are being forced into bankruptcy because of the failure of the countries health care system to provide them affordable health care. Those Americans and their families should not have to bear the burdens of damaged credit ratings and the record of bankruptcy when it was the health care system that had failed them.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Andrew Isaacson

Senior Driving TestsSeniors are getting into car accidents more and more frequently as they age. It is dangerous not only to them, but all who share the road. My parents recently got into an accident where a 73 year old woman was at fault. Thankfully they are all OK, but this isn't always the case. Please sign this petition to encourage lawmakers to make the roads safer for everyone by requiring seniors to take driving tests.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Veronica

Stop Taxpayer-funded ads by Medicare Advantage PlansTaxpayers pay extra to subsidize Medicare Advantage Plans compared to the cost of regular Medicare. Every fall, these plans fill our TVs and mailboxes with ads, and pay sales agents commissions to sign people up for their Advantage plan. The agents ask health questions to "guide people to the plan that is right for them" (my impression: guide sicker people to traditional Medicare.)2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Lynn

Demand Congress Take Action on Puerto Rico's Political StatusPuerto Rico has been a colony of our country since 1898. Puertoricans are citizens of the U.S. by birth. It is high time to either grant Puerto Rico independence or do what is right and grant statehood to the island. During the November 6th elections, 54% of the population voted to end the present relationship with the US. Of that number, 61% voted for statehood.12 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Carlos A Carrion

New Orleans City Council: Stop Sewerage & Water Board Rate HikeThe recent proposal to raise Sewer & Water rates 10% in New Orleans over a period of time is outrageous. What with rental increases, low wages & just high living expenses, it's hard enough to make ends meet. This is a poor state with over half living below the poverty level. We just can't afford this rate increase.8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Carolyn A. Bell

The Truth about BLM & Wild Horses in the WestI have watched a documentary that gave clear evidence from persons affected in their careers with BLM and from those who advocate for the Wild Horses. It showed hard evidence (documents) of corruption within BLM as well their intent to systematically exterminate the wild horses throughout Nevada, Idaho & Wyoming for the purpose of "clearing the way"for BP Oil to install the Ruby pipeline in the near future. Those wild horse herds will obstruct BP's efforts as they will not be able to pass an EIS if horses are present. This is destruction of a national heritage, our Wild Horse Herd and we must stop BLM in their tracks.56 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Sharon Comer

Mayor Bob Filner: Make Poverty a PriorityIt's a tragedy that anyone in San Diego should live in poverty, especially those who work hard every day and still struggle to support themselves or a family. Our city government can do much to combat working poverty, with policies that focus on living wages, access to affordable healthcare and creating quality jobs for San Diego residents. When all working people can support themselves and have money in their pockets to spend at local businesses, the entire city will benefit and we’ll finally be on our way to rebuilding our local economy.26 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Clare Crawford

Level the Playing Field for US ManufacturingLeveling the playing field gives multi-national corporations less of a reason to manufacture overseas. 1) They will pay the same minimum wage as they do in the U.S. 2) They will follow the same Fair Labor Standards Act requirements. 3) They will follow the same OSHA regulations. 4) They will have the same environmental requirements2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ken Burton
