• Truth in Campaign Ads
    Promoters of products on television must adhere to truth in advertising regulations set up by the Federal Communications Commission. Why do political commercials get a free pass on this. The Romney campaign is pouring countless millions into misleading and untrue ads about how President Obama has "raided" billions from Medicare, when actually the adjustments made by the administration were to cut waste in the program and have no adverse effect on benefits for seniors. We demand that the Federal Communications Commission start fact checking the accuracy content of ads saturating the airwaves and hold "liars" accountable. Fines, obviously will have little impact but a website with a "liars list" could work wonders.

  • Political Truth in Advertising
    I believe that this country is being ruined by political ads that outright lie, and I believe that running an ad that is false should be made the equivalent of perjury.

  • Save the Field
    In Cleveland, OH, there is a small field of land on our corner in the neighborhood of Old Brooklyn. It was once home to an elementary school that has long since been torn down, which was sad in and of itself. However, it has proven itself to be a happy accident in our neighborhood. For years this field has been utilized by the community as a place for leisurely retreat or active sport. Kids play football and soccer. Dad's throw a baseball with their sons, or play Frisbee, families have picnics and barbecues, play with their dogs, people sit out to sunbathe. Now this small beloved field is being turned into a urban farm. In the middle of a city where we have nowhere else to enjoy a little space? It doesn't make any sense.The community itself will not benefit from this garden. It has been a wonderful addition for us and is utilized so often. Please help us to save it and keep it so we can continue to enjoy it as a benefit to our community!

  • Stop America's top Catholic bishop from endorsing Paul Ryan
    Cardinal Timothy Dolan, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and Archbishop of New York, is listed prominently among the invited speakers being used to promote the Values Voters Summit, at which Ryan and a host of other Republican politicians and far-right figures will appear. The bishops have condemned the Ryan budget as inconsistent with Catholic teaching, because of its "unacceptable cuts" to "essential programs that serve poor and vulnerable people." So why would Cardinal Dolan even consider appearing with Ryan during the campaign season? It's not too late for Cardinal Dolan, who recently called Ryan a "great public servant," to publicly refuse this invitation and make it clear that he is not in the business of partisan politics. But he needs to hear from us immediately. Sign our petition: Cardinal Dolan, stay away from Paul Ryan and the Values Voters Summit.

  • Rep. Akin, resign from the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology
    Following the comments made by Missouri Congressman Todd Akin regarding the ability of the female body to "shut that whole thing down" following rape (referring to the falsity that rape cannot result in pregnancy), the scientists of The United States of America, respectfully request that he resign from the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology. Representative Akin's comment shows a severe lack of understanding about human biology and define him as unfit to serve as a representative of the world's leading scientific community.

  • Tell American Kennel Club to revoke certifications of puppy mill puppies!!
    This petition is about the millions of dogs that are killed every year in America due to the greed and inhumanity of Puppy Mill owners and the continued indifference and inaction of the AKC. Puppy Mills are breeding factories where AKC registered dogs are kept in inhumane situations, forced to breed relentlessly with little to no veterinary care and whose offspring are often sick physically and challenged mentally. Please increase the pressure on AKC to revoke their certifications of all other dogs than those that are bred in private homes and who live as companion animals/pets.

  • "Blackfeet Tribal Business Council: Enforce Ordinance 67
    The Blackfeet Constitution under Article VI-Powers of the Council, Amendment VI, reads in part under (k) that the powers of the council are responsible for the safeguarding and peace of the residents of the Blackfeet Indian Reservation. It is therefore your responsibility to enact the laws that ensure the safeguarding and peace of the residents of the Blackfeet Indian Reservation; not limited to the membership only, but also yourselves as duly elected officials representing all 16,000 plus members by enforcing such laws. As members of the Blackfeet Nation we understand the Civil Liberties of all Blackfeet members which states that all members of the tribe may enjoy without hindrance freedom of worship, conscience, speech, press, assembly and association, but we also see the need to enforce Ordinance 67 that states; "Whoever forcibly assaults, threatens, practices intimidation upon, or interferes with any Blackfeet Tribal Business Council, upon conviction be fined $500.00 and six months imprisonment in the Blackfeet jail" for the purposes of safeguarding and keeping the peace not only to ensure your safety, but the safety of all members of the Blackfeet Nation before it escalates and brings harm to not only yourselves or your families, but also to any individual member or families of the Blackfeet Nation.
