• LF Addington Middle School, Wise VA: Protect Our Children
    On February 27, 2014, my ten year old son, Michael brought a book home from school, entitled, "Addie On The Inside" by James Howe. The book deals with the subject of homosexuality, and is offensive to the faith and belief of our family. My son Michael felt very uncomfortable having to read this book, as did I. Please sign this petition if you do not agree with fifth graders being exposed to such books., especially when the Bible is not allowed in the library. Thank you.

  • Rep. Fitzpatrick: Support fair wages for workers
    People who work full time should not have to struggle and juggle with their meager paychecks to pay normal living expenses. It is time to turn around the recent trend of more and more people sinking into poverty, and the rich getting richer.

  • Raise the minimum wage so my granddaughter can pay off her student loan in my lifetime.
    I had to work at a minimum wage job after returning from Viet Nam, while I was still in the Army in Texas in order to pay for off post housing for my wife and I. It sucks when the country you fought for treated you like dirt. Most of the Republicans now in congress have never known hardship of military life. So raise the Minimum Wage already

  • Missouri's Right to Know
    While more research needs to be done on the full impact of GMOs, they are not without risk and consumers have a right to know what is in the food we buy. HB 1396 in the Missouri House of Representatives would require that "all food and food products... sold in this state that are or contain genetically modified products shall be labeled indicating that they are or contain genetically modified products." Sign this petition to your state representative asking them to support our right to know by co-sponsoring HB 1396.

  • Stop the time change
    Time changes that happen twice a year are disruptive to people's lives and rest. Having to re acclimate twice a year is very hard on the average person but extremely hard on those of us that suffer from adjustment problems. This causes increase in problems such as depression and sleep disturbances. Since we are no longer a society that has the same needs as when daylight savings time was placed in effect, this practice should be stopped.

  • LET STUDENTS VOTE!
    The state has disallowed normal voting hours, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., on Florida college campuses. This is an outrage.The Governor of Florida, a Republican, fears that students would vote Democratic and has chosen this method to silence us.

    I want answers for my family and his children. I am his sister. We Live with this nightmare daily and the way we were treated. I have been trying to get someone to listen but its like we don't exist. We want answers. He deserves better than saying he hung himself and they can't even tell us what he did it with. They said bed sheet or mattress cover, but don't know what it was. Please, anyone, come forthand let us know. How would you like to sleep at night if that was your child,brother, or sister?

  • Raise the minimim wage
    No person who works full-time should be in poverty. If a company cannot afford to pay a living wage to its workers, there is something wrong with its business plan.

  • Rep. Joe Pitts: Stop Blocking Minimum Wage Increase for Workers
    Members of my family are working hard every week while struggling to get by on poverty wages. Increasing the Minimum Wage would help thousands of PA workers pay their bills and feed their families - and it has been shown time and again that it would spur our economy - for everyone! Rep. Pitts should do the right thing for PA workers instead of siding with big corporations.

  • Rep. Upton will you support Business and the Minimum Wage of $10.10?
    As a clergyman I support an increase in the minimum wage to at least $10.10 an hour. Members of my own family are among thousands of workers who are working hard every week while struggling to get by on poverty wages. But this is also a benefit for business. The argument that a higher minimum wage would hurt business is old and tired. There is clear and compelling evidence that the economy and companies enjoy real benefits when workers are paid more.
