Restore Social SecurityIt appears President Obama is playing right into the hands of the Republicans and the Tea Party by trying to eliminate Social Security. They call it a reduction in taxes. Instead it is going to be a reduction to many peoples retirement funds. We all know or hear of people living on only Social Security or being homeless. We should be ashamed that something like this can happen in the richest country in the world. They take the average income for all Americans as $50,000. They should be taking the median of $36,000. Then they say this puts $1,000. in the average American pocket. That is $19.23 a week. Anyone I have asked never even noticed the difference in their weekly check. If you use the $36,000. the weekly amount is $13.84. According to the last Republican debate that is 1.2 BILLION DOLLARS that is not going into the the Social Security fund from the employees. Add to that the employors contribution and we have a total of 2.2 BILLION DOLLARS not going into the Social Security fund. Lets remove the cap and eliminate corruption in the system. Finally Let's restore Social Security so the poor and the middle class at least have something to live out their elderly years with.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by clarence scherer

Constitution Amendment: Campaign FinanceMoney is killing American politics because of campaign finance contributions by corporations and special interest groups. Congress passed campaign finance reform legislation, but the Supreme Court invalidated it. A Constitutional Amendment is needed to bypass the Supreme Court and enable reform.6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Richard H. Lathrop

Sell ice cream by weightIn the USA, ice cream is sold by volumetric measures (pint, quart, half gallon) even though it is not a liquid. This gives manufacturers an incentive to pump the product full of air in order to fill a larger container with less product. In Italy, where gelato was invented, ice cream is sold be weight. This is fairer for the consumer and results in a higher quality product.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Andrew Laurence

We Support Passing The STOP ONLINE PIRACY ACTThe bill would allow the U.S. Department of Justice, as well as copyright holders, to seek court orders against websites accused of enabling or facilitating copyright infringement. Depending on who requests the court orders, the actions could include barring online advertising networks and payment facilitators such as PayPal from doing business with the infringing website, barring search engines from linking to such sites, and requiring Internet service providers to block access to such sites. The bill would make unauthorized streaming of copyrighted content a felony. The bill also gives immunity to Internet services that voluntarily take action against websites dedicated to infringement, while making liable for damages any copyright holder who knowingly misrepresents that a website is dedicated to infringement.197 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Steven Cravis

The reason why those people have to get the petition signed is because it should be part of Dance For The Cure.57 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Laurie Maitland
