• Require labeling of GMO food products
    Currently, the USA has no requirement to require Monstanto and their ilk to tell us when they're using genetically modified (GMO) agricultural products in things we eat or things that animals that we eat, eat. The EU and most civilized countries have this requirement, and further, don't allow imports of GMO agricultural products. The US consumer has the right to know that what they're eating may have been genetically modified. Let us make our own minds up on this: GMOs are an ongoing experiment on the population of our country and a heart-wrenching manifestation of corporate power run amok.

  • Eliminate Corporate Campaign Funding
    As long as big business finances (buys) elections, politicians will put their interests above the people's. Case in point; 80% of Americans think the Citizens United decision was a huge mistake, yet over a year later, no bill has been introduced to stop unlimited and anonymous corporate donations. Our government has been privatized, and until this is changed, we will not see the meaningful change that this country needs and that it is capable of.

  • Help name Anna's babies (actually a test of e-delivery)
    This is actually a test of our new e-delivery system but I need about 15-20 signers. You should leave some suggested names in the comments field. Last I heard, she is a little short on boy names.

  • Replace Obama with a Democrat or kiss my vote goodbye!
    President Obama has spurned his mandate and cemented the worst of the Bush legacy, filling his administration with corporate insiders, making backroom deals with industry special interests, and readily conceding every battle to the far right. Right-wing, corporatist "Democrats" like Mr. Obama will continue to take our vote for granted and ignore America’s needs UNLESS we make it crystal clear that we WILL abandon them in 2012 (a Bush-Lite Democrat who lulls the country to sleep while savaging the middle class and curtailing our civil liberties is NOT the “lesser” of two evils).

  • Maine Needs A Citizen Recall Process
    Maine does not have any political process for citizens to recall elected officials, unlike 18 other states. The Maine state constitution provides for impeachment, a legal process, but its never been used to remove a civil officer. If elected officials are not doing the job they were elected to do, why should they stay in office?

  • Cameras in slaughter-houses
    Every day it happens in slaughter-houses, machines or workers don’t work properly. That causes unnecessarily pain and suffering for the dying animals. To make sure and prove, that slaughter-companies and workers obey the law, have cameras installed in each killing sector. The films should be controlled every day by different veterninarians. The prove should be kept in archives.
