  • Demand Justice for Snarf's Workers Terminated 3 Days Before Christmas!
    My name is Kevin Brown and I've been working at Snarf's sandwich shop for two and a half years. My co-workers and I were all fired three days before Christmas via email, without any notice. Many of us had requested to take some time off during the holidays to be with our families, but were told we could not because we were scheduled to work. In the end we were not able to spend time with our families and left without a job! We worked hard every single day to make Snarf's a thriving business and yet we were unjustly fired in the most unprofessional manner. The CEO promised an additional week of wages for the way things were handled, but he has now broken that promise. Stand with me and my co-workers as we protest this unfair termination and demand that Snarf's immediately reinstates its employees with furlough payment!

  • Request a federally sponsored decolonizing plebiscite for Puerto Rico with Constitutionally attai...
    Because the Americans (US Citizens residing in Puerto Rico have been desinfranchised from their Right to vote for their President (U.S.); the Con gress has never sponsored a decolonizing plebiscite for the People in Puerto Rico since 1898. That is political slavery, where the sovereignity of the People relies on Congress, not on their own People.

  • Demand justice for West Virginians whose water has been poisoned
    Over 300,000 West Virginians’ water was poisoned with chemicals from the coal industry -- and now hundreds of people are sick. Water isn’t only being poisoned by these chemicals; there is a long history of water in West Virginia being poisoned by the coal industry; mountaintop removal has destroyed thousands of pristine streams, and there are dozens of toxic slurry dams across the state. West Virginia’s DEP (Department of Environmental Protection) has been captured by the coal industry, and can’t be trusted to ensure safe, clean, drinking water. We need OSM to step-in, terminate West Virginia’s ineffective mining enforcement program, and set-up a program that protects our water. Water in West Virginia is being poisoned every day, and another tragic spill like this could happen at any moment. The CARE Campaign, founded by concerned West Virginians, is petitioning the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement to terminate West Virginia’s mining enforcement program and implement a program that is accountable to the people of West Virginia. Demand President Obama’s OSM step-in and stand with West Virginians. "Exposure to the slurry of water and other chemicals formed after coal is washed would be more dangerous to human health than exposure to MCMH—and there have been numerous coal slurry floods and spills in West Virginia and U.S. history. That slurry is made far more toxic by the heavy metals and other dangerous elements leached from the coal itself.

  • Pledge to stop Fast Track of TPP
    Fast track Legislation to approve the TPP has been introduced in Congress. This bill is officially called "The Bipartisan Trade Priorities Act of 2014". If we are to maintain any semblance of Sovereignty and Democracy in America it is imperative that we defeat this legislation. The TPP is a massive trade agreement that has been characterized as being a corporate coup. In essence it places the rights of international corporations above the rights of the American people. Under our Constitution the states legislate state laws and Congress legislates Federal Law, which takes precedence over State Law. With the TPP Federal Law will now be subservient to rules promulgated by the TPP and interpreted not by American courts but by International tribunals controlled by corporations. No longer will be be able to say what our labor laws, environmental laws, health regulations, financial regulations, copyright laws, consumer laws and Agricultural regulations are, they will determined by this trade pack and adjudicated by these foreign, corporate controlled, tribunals. The Obama administration along with Major corporations that control hugh piles of money will be pushing hard for this fast track legislation. Elections are coming up this year, as normal citizens we only have our vote to counter the flood of corporate cash. Make your vote count by taking the pledge. For more information you can check out the following articles. https://www.citizen.org/TPP http://www.salon.com/2014/01/13/chomsky_tpp_is_a_neoliberal_assault/ http://www.huffingtonpost.com/larry-cohen/tpp-fast-track_b_4588459.html

  • PUT CITIZENS UNITED IN THE DUMPSTER OF BAD IDEAS
    Citizens United was a disaster. It opened the floodgates for corporations to write big checks to fund right-wing special interest attacks, helping them pour $719 million into the 2012 elections. The question is, what are we going to do about it? How are we going to stuff this "corporations are people, elections are auctions, democracy is for sale" mess into the Dumpster of Bad Ideas? Here's how: A constitutional amendment that puts power back in the hands of the people. The actual, human people. Sign the petition to join me in calling for a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United.

  • Acceptance of Pastafarianism
    Not all religions are accepted or tolerated in Lisle Senior High School. The religious headgear of the Pastafarian religion has been deemed disruptive and not appropriate in the school. The fact that a student is forbidden to go to his/her classes with the official headgear of the Pastafarian faith is intolerable and ignorant. This intolerance needs to be removed from the school and the religious must be allowed to be worn during the school day.

  • Tell Senator Durbin no war with Iran!
    Iran and the US are finally at the negotiating table together, but Congress may ruin diplomacy by passing a bill imposing new sanctions. This will cause diplomatic efforts to fail. We can't afford to have negotiations with Iran stop!

  • What Christie Knew, and When
    Those lane closures caused traffic to back up, with delays to all who tried to cross the bridge, and those drove in and around Ft. Lee, NJ. Those same lane closures caused delays to emergency service vehicles, both crossing the GW Bridge, and locally in Ft. Lee, NJ. While Gov. Christie fired one single appointee; two others have been implicated. We still do not know how many members of Gov. Christie's administration had responsibility for this action. In addition, we do not know whether Gov. Christie himself, had influence over the decision to close lanes at the GW Bridge.

  • Car insurance rates need to be lowered now.
    I'm starting this petition because there are too many people that can't afford the rates of insurance to drive their vehicles anymore. Insurance should not be based on credit scores, or the age of the drivers. I'm directly affected by this, I'm on a fixed income. I can barely afford to pay insurance on my vehicles. My insurance payments equals half of what my house payment is. We the people have to stop the Insurance companies and the laws backing them, to keep taking our money like this.

  • Overturn C.U. (aka Please take away our vote, we are too dumb)
    I am tired of being held hostage over benefits we have paid for so millionaires can have massive tax breaks only to then have the benefits watered down and sequestered. Why aren't we sequestering those tax breaks? Citizens United shush funds, that's why. Cork the slime fund and it's immoral goals today. Pass a Constitutional Amendment blocking CU and any attempt to do an end run around human rights of One Man, One Vote (One Woman, One Vote) even if it's a media based brainwashing run.
