  • Pass the Paycheck Fairness Act -- We Need Equal Pay for Equal Work!
    Women are paid, on average, 77 to 86 cents for every dollar a man is paid -- for the same amount of work. To address this, the House of Representatives passed the Paycheck Fairness Act in 2009, of which I was a proud original co-sponsor. This bill would finally end discriminatory pay practices based on gender. Five years later, this bill is still not law due to the obstructionism in the U.S. Senate. This week, the Senate will be reconsidering the Paycheck Fairness Act again. Please sign and share this petition urging the Senate to pass this bill -- it’s time we had equal pay for equal work for women.

  • Manchester BOE: Save Washington Elementary School
    Building Washington Elementary School "like new" is not only a step in the right direction to solving the achievement gap in Manchester, but it is a step in the right direction as a whole for the "City of Village Charm." Closing Washington in a effort to solve the short term problem of the cost to renovate our long neglected elementary schools will cause irreparable harm to the most vibrant and diverse neighborhood in Manchester. We, the undersigned, are showing our love of not only a great school with great teachers, but a neighborhood that is a part of making Manchester a great place for EVERYONE to live.

  • Stop&Shop: Label GMO Foods
    While more research needs to be done to understand the full impact of GMOs, they are not without risk. For example, some GMOs are designed to allow for increased use of pesticides, which have been linked to serious health and environmental impacts. And GMOs usually don’t undergo safety testing before they’re allowed onto the market.

  • Help! No Money! High Bills!
    I'm petitioning on behalf of South Carolians who are struggling to work and make ends meet to survive! Other states have decided to pass a bill that raises their minimum wage to $10/hour. I feel our state needs to follow suit and do the same!

  • Living Wage For Florida
    I have had a lot of twists and turns in life, like most of us will. And at times found myself starting over at minimum wage in an unfamiliar industry. The current minimum wage has not been raised to coincide with inflation. It does not allow a single parent household to get above the poverty line. It is time for a raise for the American People! We cannot trusts corporations to do this voluntarily!!

    "Our state's current minimum wage is $7.40. That's not enough for anyone to live on. We deserve an economy that works for everyone, not just the wealthy and well-connected. Join with me in calling on our state legislature to pass legislation to raise the minimum wage to $10.10”

  • Justice For Jesus Huerta
    I'm starting this petition in the hope that the proper authorities will conduct a fair investigation of the murder of Jesus Huerta. We are not satisfied with the explanation that he shot himself in the head while his hands were cuffed behind his back.

  • Raise Minimum Wage
    Because we always hear these officials say if we raise minimum wage it will cause all things to go up. But what we are really seeing is that minimum wage is behind cost of living by 40% it should be around $10.74 and still prices keep going up, so without raising minimum wage prices keep going up so their statements don't hold true. The people of this country have been stripped of their way of life by someone else who is more worried about themselves and their profits, it is time that the people got a raise.
