Child Support EnforcementEach year, non-custodial parents find ways to evade paying their court ordered child support. It's time to put a stop to this behavior! Our country allows these evasive parents to basically have interest free loans on the backs of our children!2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Sue

Fight Cuts to Social Security and MedicareCongressman Scott Peters campaigned on fighting cuts to Social Security and Medicare. Now that he has been elected, he is refusing to sign the Grayson-Takano letter to the White House opposing cuts to Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. He has consistently refused to take a stand on these issues that are so important to his constituents. In view of the greatest inequity in wealth and income since before the great depression, we do not want to see continued tax breaks to the 1% and corporations on the backs of seniors and the shrinking middle class. Congressman Peters must also stop referring to Social Security and Medicare as “entitlements.” They are “earned benefits” paid into throughout our working years. When we voted for Scott Peters, rather than Bilbray, we expected him to support the democratic principles he campaigned on. Congressman Peters does not deserve to be re-elected if he supports cuts to Social Security and Medicare21 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Vera

Medicaid ExpansionI am over 65. I do not need Medicaid, thank the US government. But there are so many others who need this. Let's help them get it, no matter what the Florida legislature says. If we do not take that Medicaid money, other states will get ours just like the high speed rail! Don't be stupid.17 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Lois H. Fries

Affordable Housing for people who earn $40,000 - $80,000 in New York CityMy petition is for affordable housing for what I consider the "lower middle class" in NYC. Landlords and rent guidelines are so biased. If you earn over $40,000 you're usually disqualified from affordable housing lotteries. You have no other choice but to waste money on broker's, security deposits and at least 1st months rent. Rents are sky rocketing in NY and after paying $1,300 or more in rent along with other rising costs in New York we hardly have any money left over for anything else.11 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kenny Consuegra

Three Feet Please!Dear Gov. Brown: With the failing struggle to maintain sprawl draining our municipalities' budgets, we must do everything we can to promote bicycling for local travel, which will reduce wear and tear on infrastructure and alleviate road and parking congestion. Yet careless motorists frequently "buzz" cyclists, with often dire results--worse, we often see posts and comments erroneously claiming that cyclists have no right to the road, and that it is permissible to engage in this sort of intimidation against them. Your repeated vetoes of three-foot passing bills have sent a signal to the population that cyclists are expendable and that only drivers matter to you. Please support--or initiate!--the next safe passing bill to protect the thousands of cyclists who are doing their part to protect our environment and our economy both. Note: A proposed amendment to AB 1371 would effectively result in a safe-passing law if signed by Gov. brown.1,460 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Richard Risemberg
