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 Rand2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Gaviota A. Ortiz

National Womens DayMy 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.25 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jacqueline english

South Dakota abortion law uses false informationSouth Dakota wants doctors to lie to women seeking abortion by forcing doctors to inform women that having an abortion increases their risk of suicide. As one of my family members committed suicide, I find this law to be not only demeaning to a woman's choice regarding pregnancy, but to the very real problem of suicide. The law is based on faulty, misrepresented information and is merely fear-mongering on the part of the lawmakers.358 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Wendy Taylor

Tell Congress: Pass the Violence Against Women ActWe know how important it is to reauthorize a strong Violence Against Women Act. Unfortunately, extreme voices in the House of Representatives have decided that playing politics is more important than protecting women from violence. These women are our friends, neighbors, and loved ones – and they deserve equal protection under the law. Tell the right wing House leadership to stop the political games and pass the Senate’s strong, bipartisan Violence Against Women Act that protects the health and safety of all women.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Wendy Greuel

The Gap Misses the Point With "Skinny Girls"My daughter and I were online at The Gap looking for well priced clothing. Much to our dismay we came across the "Skinny Girls" campaign, with clothing that is guaranteed to make most girls starve themselves in order to be able to fit into them. The message is dangerous and being targeted to even the pre-school age consumers. With eating disorders close to being an epidemic, retailers should know better.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Lisa Trank

Speaker Quinn: Allow Vote on Paid Sick DaysA million New Yorkers lack the basic security of paid sick days at their jobs. They are waitresses and cooks, cashiers and day care providers. When they have no choice but to go to work sick, it's not healthy for anyone. If you have paid sick days, it's easy enough to take them for granted. If you get sick, you stay home to recover. If you need to bring your child to the doctor, you go, without fear of losing pay or being fired. No one should have to choose between their job and their family's health, especially in difficult times like this. It’s time to ensure all working women and men in New York City have the same basic security. A bill pending in the New York City Council that would allow New Yorkers to earn paid sick days has a two-thirds majority of support on the City Council. But so far, Council Speaker Christine Quinn hasn't allowed a vote. Will you join us in calling on Speaker Quinn to pass the paid sick days bill? --Gloria Steinem, Ai-jen Poo, and hundreds of prominent New York leaders.8,128 of 9,000 SignaturesCreated by Gloria Steinem and Ai-jen Poo
