The lack of Congress to take action on the US Postal Service is destroying an agency mandated in the US Constitution and one they are responsible for.

Great news! Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and his colleagues just eliminated the filibuster for most presidential nominations! This reform is crucial for a functioning government because a minority in the Senate was using the filibuster to obstruct every recent qualified judicial nominee -- with no end in sight. The New York Times called this reform "the most fundamental shift in the way the Senate functions in more than a generation." With this rule change, nominees for federal judges and executive-office appointments can now be confirmed with simple majority votes. This will really help dissolve the logjam in the courts from vacancies caused by the unprecedented number of filibusters. This change will also prevent outrages like the recent filibusters that prevented the Federal Elections Commission from enforcing basic election rules, and that threatened to block the Federal Communications Commission nominee unless he promised not to require disclosure on political ads. Nearly 6,000 Californians like you signed petitions to Senators Feinstein and Boxer urging them to pass filibuster reform – and they ended up providing the two critical votes. Please sign and share this petition to thank them!

This petition is to stop Baltimore City from closing our Child Care Centers. These centers are providing child care, education, and after school care for working parents. Baltimore City Public schools would like to use the child care center buildings to start Head Start program, which only provides half a day learning for children. We are trying to keep academies, like Dukeland Child Care Academy open. They have provided our children,ages 2 and up, with great education, such as sign language, spanish, and dance. Please help us save the centers. Thank you.

Recent federal budget cuts have hurt California's most vulnerable populations. Instead of taking money from schools and other vital services that help children, people with disabilities, seniors, and unemployed veterans, it's time to make profitable corporations pay their fair share.

Your Government wants to cut benefits to seniors, veterans and the disabled without making American corporations to stop paying zero income taxes. Please sign this petition.

Newspapers need to stop publishing letters that deny climate change.

Newspapers need to stop publishing letters that deny climate change, starting with the News Journal. Climate change is a serious, man made, issue that has and will severely affect all aspects of the world as we know it in areas such as food production, water resources, economy, culture, and society. Publishing letters that deny climate change and refuse to pay attention to irrefutable evidence encourage Delawareans to be passive and let the climate change continue.

Fracking continues to poison drinking water across the country. Already oil and gas companies have leased over 8,000 acres of land in North Carolina in preparation of fracking. We still have the chance to stand up for our clean drinking water and keep fracking out of the state by urging our elected officials to pass a permanent ban on fracking. We know that it will take a massive effort to counter the oil and gas industry, so we've launched this effort to get 50,000 people to speak out. Please sign and spread the world so we can join together in support of keeping NC Frack-Free!
