• Thank Chief Justice John Roberts for restoring confidence in the Supreme Court
    Chief Justice John Roberts put aside his own personal values to issue his opinion on the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act. By doing so, he restored some confidence in the Supreme Court's ability to act with impartiality. Thank Chief Justice Roberts for standing up for the constitution despite knowing he would face much anger for doing so.

  • Let's Protest Political Ads by boycotting
    Because the Supreme Court will not permit limits on political advertising, most voters are fed up with the number of ads and the length of time that they are bombarded with these ads months before the election. We need to let these advertizers know in great numbers that we will ignore their messages until a reasonable time before the election.

  • Congress should not remove the tax break for corporations to fund pensions
    In order to help fund the student loan bill it has been proposed that corporations will have a tax break removed that they are able to use when they fund pensions. This will only encourage them to not fund workers pensions. This is another middle class attack again. I am concerned because the few workers who have a pension system won't be able to have it even though it was promised them and they are too old to try and make up that money.

  • Paper Ballots
    Since computerized voting has been shown to be unreliable, easily manipulated and hacked, all Federal elections must be carried out using a standardized paper form. Corporations who provide computerized voting systems "free" can easily alter results and undermine our Democratic Republic.

  • Banning Fireworks
    It's one of the worst fire seasons Utah is facing. Even though the 4th of July has passed, the Days of 47 are upon us. Thousands of acres burned, houses burned and thousands of people have had to evacuated. How much of our state do we have to watch burn before seeing a "ban" on fireworks. The Governor has currently issued a ban on Utah state lands. This does not go far enough. We should not be using any personal fireworks anywhere in Utah, period. On June 14, Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper issued an executive order that banned the private use of fireworks statewide because of very dry conditions and high fire danger.

  • Tell congressional Democrats to say no to NRA blackmail
    The NRA is trying to blackmail democrats into voting that Eric holder be held in contempt of congress. The truth is the NRA will not get them elected next term anyways, because the Citizens United ruling now guarantees that Republicans will be having each seat that comes up for election bought for them. the days of NRA money helping a Democrat get elected are over. We the people will also be scoring this vote, and any Democrat that votes for contempt, will be held in contempt themselves, and will get no help , or votes from " we the people " ever again.

  • Commit to comfort your child and never let them "Cry It Out"
    If you were allowed to cry it out, or currently practice this approach with babies or toddlers, this petition may touch a nerve. Children learn to sooth themselves by being soothed by a parent or care giver. That is how children learn. They do not learn to soothe themselves by crying alone with no holding or comforting. Effects of not soothing a child are that brain cells die (brain damage!), self regulation is actually undermined/child goes into despair at being abandoned, the stress response may be established for life and cause long term health problems and ADHD, trust is lost with a parent, and the sensitivity of the caregiver may be harmed (Narvaez, 2011). For more information on the history of Cry It Out, its effects, and solutions, go to http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/moral-landscapes/201112/dangers-crying-it-out? On page two there are a lot of suggestions for further reading.

  • Support our soldiers -- not the war
    Our returning combat veterans were mostly innocent boys when they entered military service, but are coming home with physical wounds and emotional scars; and they are facing massive unemployment. They need much more help than our government is offering -- such as free college education and job-retraining, and temporary financial support for their families. So many are suffering from PTSD, but the stigma of mental illness prevents soldiers from applying for help; so our government should have a strong outreach program. They deserve no less.

  • Scalia Must Resign
    In Justice Scalia's dissent from the recent Immigration decision, he openly attacked the Obama administration's position on Immigration even though it had nothing to do with the case. He has become so blatantly political that it is clear he has lost all neutrality that the high court position is supposed to require. Remember duck hunting with Dick Cheney and then refusing to recuse himself from the case involving the former Vice President? Three seperate Brances of Government: Executive, Legislative and Judicial. Bring back Checks and Balances.
