• Congress should apologize to ACORN
    From Wikipefia "...the California State Attorney General and the US Government Accountability Office released reports of their investigations. They found that O'Keefe had misrepresented the actions of ACORN workers, that workers had not committed the illegal actions he portrayed, and that the organization had managed its federal funds appropriately."

  • Reform the voting process in the US
    Voting laws in this country vary from state to state. To have this happen in a national election (president, members of Congress) is ridiculous. We need to be able to audit post election vote totals from machines that cannot be hacked. We need to establish a uniform ratio of voting machines per precinct based on expected voter participation.

  • Reinstate Pete Rose
    Pete Rose has been banned from Baseball for Gambling on games during his career. He has admitted this and has expressed remorse repeatedly for his moral failure in this regard. The Commissioner of Baseball refuses to consider reinstatement to the game. Pete had a storied career, including holding the record for most hits by a major league player, 4,256. Reinstatement would allow Pete to take his rightful place in the Baseball Hall of Fame

  • VA Loan Mods for ALL Veterans
    Banks are foreclosing on veterans - one story last week told of B of A foreclosing the day the veteran returned home from Iraq. This is unacceptable! The Administration, Congress and the VA should work together NOW to STOP all foreclosures on our veterans and create a program to allow veterans to refinance their existing mortgages or require lenders to modify existing mortgages to allow veterans to stay in their homes if they choose to.

  • Chains designed for dogs Only!!
    This petition is to protect chained dogs. Most all states allow dogs to be chained or tethered unfortunately. What we want is to make it a law that only chains or leashes designed for a dog are allowed to be used when tethering a dog. The use of heavier chains designed for logging, load lifting or other non-animal use are abusive, inhumane and unethical. Please help put an end to the use of heavy chains and padlocks on tethered or chained dogs

  • Stop the Radical Republican Plan for Redistricting in Maine
    National Republicans have a radical plan to move 360,000 Maine people from one Congressional District to another and they’re getting their allies in Maine to try and push it through the legislature. Their plan would put 10,000 more Republicans into the Second District to turn it into a Republican Congressional seat and a vote for a Republican presidential candidate. Not only that--139 communities would lose their current representative in Congress, including Lewiston-Auburn, Bath and Rockland and Chellie Pingree’s hometown would be moved out of her Congressional District.

  • Stop the Resegregation of Georgia
    Georgia's GOP redistricting maps purge white Democratic legislators, isolate minorities and use the Voting Rights Act as a weapon against multi-racial voting coalitions. If these maps are adopted, Republicans will have a super-majority, which will let them pass any constitutional amendment without a single Democratic vote. The stakes are high: the end of reproductive rights, defunding public schools, adopting English-only legislation and harming individual rights. For more information, visit www.gafairdistricts.com.

  • Term Limits
    It's about time that we establish some term limits for all of our elected representatives. A majority of them spend most of their time fund raising for the next election and devote little time to the pressing issues of our country.

  • Stop U.S. Support for Human Trafficking
    Since 2006, the Pentagon has been taking steps to prevent subcontractors in Iraq from taking unfair advantage of the labor of Third-Country Nationals. Yet despite new regulations, many of these vulnerable workers continue to be exposed to poor working conditions and, in some cases, human trafficking. Please ask the Department of Defense to more closely monitor its subcontractors to prevent the mistreatment of Third-Country Nationals from going unnoticed and unresolved.
