We have seen the long list of President Obama's accomplishments in the considerably short time that he's been in office. Positive changes that will continue to improve the standard of living for the vast majority of Americans. It would seem the obvious reaction of Republicans to publish their list...unless they just don't have one they want us to know about. So what have you done that we, working class Americans should be voting you in office? Republicans: Where is your list?

I call upon the President and Congress to mobilize an International effort to contain the spent fuel rods at Fukushima reactor #4. We need to send whatever tools nuclear experts determine are needed to contain the fuel rods before another earthquake drains the cooling water. Should this happen a deadly and catastrophic release of radioactive gases will devastate Americas future. This is an enormous risk to our homeland security and we need to take action now.

There are to many cats and dogs euthenized every day in every state across America that would have a much better chance of being adopted if pet shops/stores were not allowed to sell cats/kittens and dogs/puppies. When a party wishes a cat or a dog, visit any local animal humane shelter and take one home. It's not the fault of the animal that it is where it is. All of my pets have come from my local animal humane socitey shelter and I have never never been disappointed. I walk in and ask to see the dog or cat that has been there the longest and will generally take that one home. The cost will bd equal or less than most pet store purchases and the pet from the shelter will be spayed/neutered, will have it's required shots and will be collared w/a current I.D. tag.

Trader Joe's responds to signed petitions when picking new locations. To better the community, we would like to petition them to come to the Village of Marlborough or the immediate surrounding communities of south St. Louis, MO.

For the senators who didn't work for the U.S.A. but tried to make sure Obama was a 1 term president; I suggest they be tried for treason.

Preventing gun injuries and deaths is a public health issue. We have enacted food safety, traffic safety, seat belt and helmet rules, and yet we do nothing to prevent the 82 daily deaths from gunshot wounds. I don't have any personal experience of gun violence but I could, at any time. We do our best to protect people from bad drugs to choking hazards, but we allow them to buy and use guns which are designed to do one thing--kill people.

The president of the US. Conference of Catholic Bishops and Archbishop of New York, Cardinal Timothy Dolan, has just agreed to offer the benediction on the night Mitt Romney accepts his party's presidential nomination. Cardinal Dolan says he's going to the convention to pray, not to campaign, but that's not how it'll look to reporters and voters who've heard him and other bishops repeatedly criticize President Obama's policies. However, there is still a way for Cardinal Dolan to demonstrate clearly that he's not endorsing the Romney-Ryan ticket: By using his benediction to pray for the millions of vulnerable Americans who'd be harmed by Paul Ryan's draconian budget plan. The bishops have already condemned the Ryan budget as inconsistent with Catholic teaching because of its "unacceptable cuts" to "essential programs that serve poor and vulnerable people." A prayer for those threatened by these cuts would be perfectly in line with the bishops' stated position and would send a powerful message that the Roman Catholic Church will never be captive to either political party. But to get the attention of Cardinal Dolan and the media before the convention begins next week, we've got to act right away. Sign the petition: Cardinal Dolan, use your benediction at the GOP convention to pray for the least of these who'd be hurt by the Ryan budget.

This bill is skewed towards the wealthy white male. It impedes on the judges ability to use his discretion in deciding the awards of alimony on a case by case basis. Because of this bill obligors (payers) are whafting into courtrooms all over the state after whittling their incomes down to nothing and demanding their alimony be eliminated. This is clogging up the courts and devistating single parent families. If this bill is knocked off of its high horse families will benifit and children will be more secure.

An Elected official should be setting the best possible example at all times. Delegate Don Dwyer, an Anne Arundel County Delegate said that he regrets his actions, adding that no one should ever drink and operate a motor vehicle or powerboat. This is what he has admitted to; having a blood alcohol content of .2. That is more than 2 times the legal limit. Is this someone we want our children to emulate? Del. Don Dwyer needs to resign!

It has been photographically documented that George Bush wore a concelled earphone during the 2004 debates where off stage handlers provided answers to questions posed. Please sign this petition to let the GOP know that this trick will not be allowed during the upcoming Presidential debates.

I feel so bowled over by the obscene amounts of money being spent on this presidential campaign. I think it would be a brave and telling gesture if President Obama stood up and said, "I'm going to forgo just a couple of hours of political ads in a battleground state and donate what my campaign would have spent on those ads to a shelter or some other worthy cause."
