• Respect, Recognition and Labor Protections for Domestic Workers
    74 years ago, American workers won the right to minimum wage, overtime pay, and at least one day of rest each week. But domestic workers were excluded from these basic protections because back then, the black women who cleaned, cooked, and cared for children were considered second class citizens. Our country has come a long way since 1938, but our labor laws haven't kept up. For 74 years, domestic workers have been denied the basic labor rights that so many American workers take for granted. It's time to end this shameful legacy and bring our nation's labor laws into the twenty-first century!

  • Remove Rep. Todd Akin (R.-MO.) from the House IMMEDIATELY
    I am befuddled that someone in our government has made such a ridiculous claim. Rep. Akin should be nowhere near the US Government nor should he have any involvement in the decision making processes for the American people.

  • Help U.S. military women raped by fellow-soldiers
    U.S. military women soldiers in record numbers have been raped by fellow-soldiers, often officers. They currently do not receive the help they need--financial, psychological, and physical--including abortions, if they become pregnant and choose not to carry to term the fetus of a rapist. They deserve our help and respect for their work to protect U.S. interests at home and abroad.

  • Todd Akin has to go!
    Congressman Todd Akin (R) is currently running for the Senate in Missouri. He recently stated that women don't get pregnant from legitimate rape! While he is backpedaling hard right now, he is CLEARLY too biased, uneducated, and extremist to even remotely represent the people of Missouri, or anyone else for that matter! Conservative or liberal, doesn't matter: Todd, time for you to resign!

  • woman deserve to make the same amount of money as men
    For every dollar a man makes, woman only make 79 cents, I'm a single mother and I can use every penny, it isn't fair that I have to work just as hard as a man but I don't get paid just as much.

  • Bring back The Equal Rights Admendment
    This petition would bring the Admendment to the forefront again in order to obtain the final 3 states needed to satisfy the total of 38 states needed to finalize ratification. All American women would benefit from the ratification of this admendment. It is becoming clear that women's rights are under fire by politicians because they do not recognize the Constitution as applying to women, therefore making women subject to discrimination (Anton Scalia has said as much). Much of the manipulating of women's lives by politicians would go away if this admendment became part of our governing document.

  • Atlas Shrugged...Really, Paul Ryan?
    Get the word out that Paul Ryan claims reading Atlas Shrugged inspired him into public service. What would Ayn Rand, author of Atlas Shrugged, think of Paul Ryan's policies? "Abortion is a moral right - which should be left to the sole discretion of the woman involved; morally, nothing other than her wish in the matter is to be considered. Who can conceivably have the right to dictate to her what disposition she is to make of the functions of her own body?" -- Ayn Rand

  • National Womens Day
    My petition it's about recognizing the contributions of that women have made towards the greatness of our country. each one of the women named had an integral part in reshaping our nation's treatment of both African American slaves and disenfranchised women. As a woman I owe of these women a debt of gratitude because I can vote. As an American I owe these women a debt of gratitude because they fought tirelessly and bravely, risking everything, to end the enslavement of people in this country thus allowing United States to join the rest of the civilized world in banning slavery forever.
