  • Tell Gov. Corbett to Stop Using Taxpayer Money for Campaign Events
    When Tom Corbett was Pennsylvania's Attorney General he prosecuted state legislators for using taxpayer money for campaign related activities. Now that he is governor, he has been skirting the laws regarding mixing his official duties and campaign activities. The conservative Pittsburgh Tribune-Review's investigation revealed that Corbett has been regularly having his campaign aides participate in official state policy meetings. (Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, August 4, 2014) Conservatives and liberals alike have condemned this practice as unethical and probably illegal mixing of campaign and official duties. Now Corbett is using taxpayer money to hold a campaign-style event promoting his Administration's job record. (http://jobs1stsummit.com) This event touts Corbett as a leader in job creation, despite his actual dismal record. "How many hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars are being spent on this event being held in the height of the election season?" asked Keystone Progress in a statement. "And if this is really about job creation and not Corbett's reelection campaign, then why did it take Corbett over 3 1/2 years to hold the first 'Jobs First' conference?" Tell Tom Corbett to stop using taxpayer money to support his reelection campaign.

  • STOP WATER FLUORIDATION
    Unlike every other chemical added to treat the water, fluoride is added to treat people. The CDC (1999) and the National Research Council (2006) have both stated that the fluoride benefit is topical and not systemic. Ingesting fluoride is harmful in a multitude of ways and has no effect on tooth decay.

  • TAX ALL RELIGIONS IN THE SAME MANNER THAT OTHER CHARITIES ARE TAXED
    I live in Broward County, FL., where $17 BILLION dollars of real estate value is NOT taxed! In the USA, that amount is estimated to be about $80 BILLION dollars. Churches own recreation centers, stores, apartments, trailer parks, TV and radio stations ALL WITH OUR TAX MONEY. Preachers get a "parsonage exemption" for their living quarters, ALL WITH OUR TAX MONEY. THIS NEEDS TO STOP! Our country needs to get into the 21st century and stop supporting sky gods that don't exist.

  • End Imprisonment of Impoverished Mothers of Truant Students
    Berks County residents, alarmed by the in-prison death a widowed mother of seven, discovered that the Court system's policy is to jail the parents of truant children if they cannot pay the children's truancy fines. Concerned citizens who had been unaware of the policy until the woman's death was reported, and who found that corrective legislation was moribund in Harrisburg, concluded that only the force of organized public opinion could foster a change in policy. For that reason, they decided to draft and promote this Petition.

  • Special Education Adult Students are Left Behind
    I have a Daughter that is Special Needs Adult. For MANY years we have watched cuts being made by our government. There are many parents who go through this. These are the people who truly need your support. People with a disability often never have a voice or never get to vote on issues that would impact them. You are their voices. It is time to make a stand. Be that voice. Parent

  • TAKE ACTION TO PRESERVE TEAMSTER HEALTH CARE
    The State’s proposal radically threatens the health care benefits that Teamster families depend on. As Correctional Workers, we are subject to the state's budget, and the state continues to show that they don't respect us enough to provide decent wages in comparison to our local counterparts. We seemingly have to fight for mere COLA increases, which we don't receive regularly.

  • Tell Congress: Overturn Citizens United and McCutcheon
    Recent decisions by the U.S. Supreme Court, in Citizens United and McCutcheon, have unleashed a flood of unregulated money into our elections. These decisions are having a corrosive effect on our democracy, allowing special interests to drown out the voices of regular citizens. That’s why I’m supporting an amendment to the U.S. Constitution to overturn these disastrous decisions, and allow us to restore transparency and reasonable limits to campaign contributions and spending. The American people deserve an election system that is fair, transparent, and accountable. Sign the petition: add your name to my call for a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United and McCutcheon. Thank you for standing with me in this call to action!

  • ASL Ice Bucket Challenge- Steven Moffat
    Steven Moffat killed off Amy, River, and Rory. Not to mention he created those blasted Weeping Angels that haunt me at night. I believe he deserves to get drenched in ice cold water. Plus it would be hilarious to watch.
