• Put Seaworld out of business! Free the Tilicum
    I want Seaworld to be put out of business. The way they have been lying to the world about the fatal incidents involving Tilicum and other Killer Whales is absurd and heartbreaking. This cannot, and will not, go on.

  • LARA Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs
    We have the right to information regarding a complaint made to LARA concerning Dr Farid Fata who has misdiagnosed and most likely killed hundreds of patients. We have requested and been denied the results of an official complaint made to LARA in 2010 through the Freedom Of Information Act and we want to know why. Our suspicion is that the complaint was mishandled and swept under the rug while Fata patients continued to be hurt and killed for over a year. WHY is there a cover up and why have we been denied access to this report? PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION TO HELP FIND OUT WHY.

  • Teachers should teach not bully!
    Our teachers are our children's role models, they are in a place of power to teach, to encourage, to mold our children. Bullying is not at all tolerated from our children and shouldn't be tolerated from teachers. This guy got a slap on the wrist, more needs to be done. The school tried to sweep that matter under the rug. Not on my watch!

  • Don't torpedo President Obama's Iran Agreement
    House majority leader Eric Cantor is working on a hawkish bill that would torpedo President Obama's interim agreement with Iran by setting unrealistic goals for the final deal. If he succeeds he’ll tie President Obama’s hands, destroy negotiations and edge us closer to another senseless conflict in the Middle East. We know diplomacy works - we've seen it in action over the last few weeks. The good news is we can squelch Eric Cantor’s plans by helping make sure our representatives do the right thing and support the President’s diplomatic efforts with Iran. We know that public pressure when it comes to foreign policy works - after all it was everyday people like you and me taking action that helped ensure that military action wasn’t on the table with Syria. Now we have a chance to not just fight back against a potential conflict - but to proactively build peace and diplomacy. This bill could hit the house floor as soon as next week. If we don't act now Congress could shatter the deal with Iran now and we would lose this once in a generation opportunity. The interim deal with Iran is a win for everyone - Iran has agreed to opening itself up to the potential of daily inspections and in turn the US has offered some relief from sanctions**. That’s why 64% of the American public, 100 rabbis and leading military and national security experts support the President’s diplomatic path with Iran***. By publicly pushing our representatives to do the right thing and support the President’s diplomatic path with Iran we show solidarity with everyday Iranians. A new poll released today showed that for many Iranians building democracy is their highest priority*. Notable activists have repeatedly said that the best way to support their work is by working towards diplomacy and the reduction of sanctions**. Diplomacy with Iran - is the best way for us to support change makers in Iran and in our national interest. Please sign this petition urging your representatives to back President Obama when it comes to Iran. *Fears mount that Dems will undermine White House on Iran.

  • Renew Extended Unemployment Benefits NOW
    I am one of the 1.3 million American workers who would be out of unemployment benefits by the end of the year if Congress does not renew extended UI benefits right away. I lost my job 10 months ago and have been looking for a job each and every day since then. Sen. Rand Paul is dead wrong that getting extended benefits would be a "disservice" to those of us who are desperate to get back to work to support our families.

  • Support our Post Office
    Benjamin Franklin insisted that a free society needed a free postal service that allowed the ease of exchange of ideas and information. Hobbling it with an over burden of unreasonable debt is the antithesis to that goal.

  • Michigan: Stop Unfair Election Practices
    People of Michigan should be ashamed that we are ranked in the top ten when it comes to unfair elections. Mainly do to gerrymandering and other political gaming the representatives we vote for does not match the representatives we elect. Currently in the Michigan House 54% of voters voted for Democratic representatives yet only 46% of the seats were filled by Democrats. We the citizens of Michigan should demand that the representation accurately reflects that way we vote, no matter if we vote Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, or Green.

  • Acknowledge Holidays of All Major Religions
    Currently, the only holidays acknowledged and allowed leave for by the Federal Government are Christian holidays. If days off from school and work can be given to Christians, then the same should be extended to other religions as well, such as Islam and Judaism. For Islam, major holidays include Ramadan, Eid al Fitr, and Eid al Adha and Jewish people celebrate Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and Hanakkuh. People of at least all major religions should be given built-in time off on the calendar for special holidays to spend with their families just as Christians are able to. Therefore, businesses that offer extended vacation time for Christian holidays should offer the same amount of vacation time for the holidays of Islam, Judaism, and other major religions. Acknowledging diversity is ethically important and necessary for everyone to have equal opportunities and freedoms to spend as they wish. This should be observed, not just during the December holiday season, but year-round.

  • Authorize The Staten Island Green Charter School for Environmental Discovery
    We have been held up for 3 years in establishing this school, and we would like to open it now! Funding has been diverted from Staten Island for charter schools, and authorization comes directly from SUNY, and the Board of Regents.

  • House Republicans to torpedo President Obama's Iran agreement
    Dear New Mexicans interested in Peace House majority leader Eric Cantor is working on a hawkish bill that would torpedo President Obama's interim agreement with Iran by setting unrealistic goals for the final deal. If he succeeds he’ll tie President Obama’s hands, destroy negotiations and edge us closer to another senseless conflict in the Middle East. This isn't a fringe bill - it's one that is gaining ground amongst Democratic members of the House and if we do nothing will become bipartisan. Urge New Mexico's representatives to back President Obama!! (MoveOn's petition format doesn't allow Rep. Ben Ray Lujan (NM-3) and Rep. Steve Pearce (NM-2) to be included, but hopefully they will get the message too!)
