Don't give the Trumps of New Jersey a YUGE tax cut!Gov. Chris Christie wants to give the Ivanka Trumps of New Jersey a tax cut. He's pushing hard to repeal New Jersey's estate tax, and says eliminating taxes on inherited wealth is "tax fairness." The worst part? Some Democrats are listening, and have moved a bill forward in the State Senate. The truth is that repealing New Jersey's estate tax would only benefit the very wealthy and their heirs, and working families would pay the price. We've been down this road before in New Jersey. When millionaires got a tax cut in 2010, we ended up paying for it with billions in cuts to schools, property tax relief, public safety, and other services on which we all rely. Eliminating the estate tax would only benefit the rich, while forcing the rest of us to pick up the tab. Christie's brand of trickle-down economics has failed New Jersey, and our legislators know it. They should reject Christie's call for any further tax cuts for the super-rich.129 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Analilia Mejia, Working Families

Dear Gov. BrownbackPlease do something about how you are running our state into the ground with our higher taxes, taking away from the schools, putting a hold on the teacher's retirement package, all because your programs have failed. I can hardly wait for November and to mark all the democrats as the winners. Even the newspapers (Lawrence Journal World) is commenting on how the Republicans are disgusted by your mess you've created. Thanks, and have a good day!59 of 100 SignaturesCreated by margaret Fowler

Voter SuppressionThousands of voices were silenced in the Arizona & New York elections and now Rhode Island has announced 66% of polls will be closed. We the people demand to have our right to vote restored. We call on the POTUS to intervene and establish a bi-partisan commission of registered citizen auditors to oversee the rest of the primary election. We call for a re-vote in the states of Arizona and New York, where tens of thousands of voters went to the polls to find we were no longer registered to a political party. We demand support from our elected officials. The future of both parties depends on it.186 of 200 SignaturesCreated by David Almond

In favor or against use of drones in war?I regard drones as cowards' weapons, responsible for many collateral deaths and lasting destruction of families and communities. Being morally opposed to their use I need that information before supporting a candidate.39 of 100 SignaturesCreated by ML Grimaldi

MSNBC: Start Reporting on Election FraudWith the recent disaster in N.Y. and the ongoing lawsuits and investigations in other states, we demand that you start talking about what has been happening. Everything Trump says is a scandal, but thousands of people are being denied the right to vote and you remain silent. Rhode Island just announced they will only have 1/3 of their polling places open. That is blatant voter suppression. Start reporting on all issues involving election fraud, voter suppression, and in general the poor organization and execution of election days in the US, or we will organize a mass protest outside your headquarters, and we will make sure that story will be covered.1,476 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Lauren Nicoletto

Free BlotchyIn mid-April, 2016, Inky the Octopus masterfully escaped from his tank in the National Aquarium of New Zealand; however, another octopus, named Blotchy, stayed behind. As Inky's escape demonstrates, and as scientists have known for some time [http://www.nature.com/news/octopus-genome-holds-clues-to-uncanny-intelligence-1.18177], octopi are highly intelligent creatures. Our goal is to release Blotchy, and all octopi, one at a time.269 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Ethan Jasny

Haiti Election VerificationAs Haitian Americans, we are directly impacted by Haitian elections. We are the catalyst for change in Haiti. We send over 4 billion dollars in money transfer and are taxed $1.50 for each transaction. The international donors such as the United States are pulling strings to allow an injustice to the Haitian population. It is our right to vote on our leaders.50 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ashley Desvarieux

Petition for Longboard & Skateboard Safety and Promoting the Wearing of HelmetsWith the rise and popularity of longboarding and skateboarding in our culture we have also seen a rise in fatalities and permanent brain injury that could have been necessarily avoided by the wearing of helmets. Unfortunately retailers and their associates have historically ignored this problem because it has been viewed as unpopular. We would like to reverse this trend and work to save lives.34 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jeffrey Collins-Harper
