  • SPECIAL FOOD LABELS FOR VEGANS
    I am always worried that the food and products I am buying may contain animal, poultry, seafood or insect product, additives and derivatives. I am sure other consumers feel the same way as most of us at one time or another have unknowingly eaten such foods. This violates our health and ethical choices. Labels and a logo to state "SUITABLE FOR VEGANS" on all restaurant menu cards and food packages would help us select the right products that support our chosen life style of ethical veganism and encourage others to consider their choices too. That's why I created the petition below: Please label food and products free from animal, poultry, seafood or insect products, additives and derivatives with a logo and a stamp "SUITABLE FOR VEGANS" Please sign this important petition that directly impacts your life style choice.

  • Rep. Justin Amash: #giveusavote: Sign the HR 15 Discharge Petition
    Gema Lowe of Grand Rapids, Michigan is fasting until Rep. Justin Amash signs the petition. She began her fast on April 7th. 177 families are being torn apart by the broken immigration system everyday. We need our representatives to show courage and quit voting along party lines. Signing the discharge petition on HR 15 brings us one step closer to bringing the bill to the floor: families and children are on the line every day that we wait. We need Rep. Amash to sign on to the petition today.

  • The 1% Should Pay Their Fair Share in Taxes
    It's tax time again, when our minds turn toward paying the taxes we owe, or possibly getting a refund. But what we don't think of enough is whether our tax system is fair. The richest 1% of Americans are now getting the largest percentage of total national income in almost a century. But many millionaires pay a lower federal tax rate than many middle class Americans. Some don't pay any federal taxes at all. That's because of deductions for things like mortgages on large homes, business entertainment, and gold-plated health care plans. It's because of tax loopholes like offshore tax havens and capital gains loopholes. The situation is even more lopsided with the Social Security tax, which doesn't apply to income greater than $117,000. You can see why Warren Buffett pays a lower tax rate than his secretary. And Republicans want to lower taxes for the wealthy even more! When the rich pay low taxes, everyone else has to foot the bill--or important programs and services get cut. It's time to change that.

  • Stop Gov Mary Fallin from banning minimum wage increase
    This petition is regarding a ban on the minimum wage increase that that Fallin signed into law. We just cant make it on $7.25 an hour. The cost of living has increased but Fallin doesnt want to increase the wage for anyone. She thinks its acceptable to earn $7.25 an hour. Lets see her try to feed her family on $7.25 an hour. Middle class families all over Oklahoma will suffer.

  • Carbon Tax: Coordinating Our Efforts to Save the Planet
    Installing a low-flow toilet, riding your bike, and reusing grocery bags are worthwhile actions that save energy and inspire others to do the same. However, individual actions are not enough to have an effect on climate change. Yesterday the UN released the latest report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. According to the report, greenhouse gas emissions must be cut by 40-70% by 2050 to hold the global temperature increase to 2 degrees Celsius. Cuts this large will require an international effort, but the US is the world's largest economy and we can and should be leaders on this issue. A carbon tax would be the quickest and most efficient way for the US to cut its greenhouse gas emissions. The carbon tax should be revenue-neutral, meaning that any revenue generated from the tax should be offset either by reductions in distortionary taxes (such as income tax) or government transfers.

  • Bring "Years of Living Dangeously" to a major network.
    This series provides stories of how climate disruption is already affecting people's lives. The science of it all is well-explained, verified. While Showtime is to be commended for airing the series, it really needs to be picked up by a network that more people are able to watch. An informed public is crucial to dealing with the crisis impacting our climate.
