Dark money laundering is corrupting democracy, voting and women's rights, and hobbling our government as our garden planet is destroyed by fossil fuels and hate speech. We, the people, need to win the 2014 midterms by targeting dysfunction's source, the Koch brothers' corrupt dark money and their well funded trolls. We need to replace their bought politicians with progressives. This cohesive twelve step program and strong messaging sets the goal of reestablishing true representative American democracy, the first step to restoring the Great American Middle Class.

Children need their fathers and many of us are being pushed aside antiquated laws and ideas about men not being able to nurture. We must act and allow fathers like myself to have consistent involvement with their children regardless of the relationship with the mother.

As Americans, we talk about freedom of choice. Under the Affordable Care Act, we're allowed to choose between hundreds of insurers, from Aetna to Wellpoint--but the biggest one is excluded, and that's the federal government. It's time to allow that choice.

This petition calls upon us to stand up NOW for creating a generative community....for True Democracy...for the plight of everything vital already swirling into a certain collapse. It is no longer enough to keep on writing smart and talking smart among all the good camps looking for balance in the biosphere. We need action and we need it now. World [American] leadership only concerns itself with money and power in the usual forms to gain control of the resources. How much resource do we have? Where is World Planning? Balanced population? It is time to finally ASK EVERYONE now...empower every individual to offer each their meaningful say toward resolution for the serious issues: 1. World Belief is a relic that determines all outcomes. 2. World population 3. World water depletion and grabbing 4. World food system a sham of profiteering - accelerating decline 5. World Atmosphere catastrophe 6. World energy crisis 7. World eco-systems decline-degradation 8. World education failure: to evolve; to teach principles of generative creativity; to be provided to everyone; to create life themes based on self paced exploration into natural abilities; to be creative NOT productive 9. World health care crisis; sham of profiteering by money grabbers; failure to provide health care to everyone 10. World TRUE DEMOCRACY FAILURE; oppression by religious thugs and power-mad rulers; women decreed as "lesser" being are oppressed, kicked, cajoled and beaten down; MEN suffer the continual urge-to-power....singly responsible for all decadence. 11. but wait...there's more :: www.saveoursorryass.com

It is obvious that the Nuclear Power industry is insolvent. The upcoming Waste Confidence ruling, Senate bill S1240 funneling escrow waste money back to the nuclear industry through the new "Nuclear Waste Administration", and the upcoming ruling on Foreign Ownership of our Nuclear Reactors are strong indication that we need citizen activist participation on the commission and a FULL accounting of this heavily citizen subsidized industry.

Isn't it unnecessary to destroy a mature fir tree every year for the holidays at Rockefeller Center? Shouldn't the city transplant a permanent fir tree and leave it there? That way the city's tree would always be taller than the previous year and no more wonderful mature trees would have to die! It would be the perfect symbolic act given the Mayor's Million trees NYC initiative.

To end poverty and dramatically improve the lives of Americans.

It's the right thing to do to finally separate church from state as in our Constitution. Immediately stop this graft and greed now and theft from our U . S. coffers.

My name is William Sowder. I've always dreamed of being a guitar player in a band. I've also always dreamed of living in a country of equal opportunity, and expression. Today, myself and my band are facing a legal quagmire, as American International Group, an insurance giant that was bailed out by the American taxpayer, has deemed our band name unacceptable. According to wikipedia, American International Group had a market capitalization of $57.3 billion, with a capital B! If you believe in progressive political change, please, help me tell the government that we can't let megacorporations run rough-shod over our voices, our dignity, and our freedom of expression!

Given the GOP's intransigence and refusal to act on immigration reform, unless President Obama exercises his executive authority to protect and begin a legalization process, the 11 million undocumented immigrants will continue to face family separation and massive deportations that already exceed 2 million under his 5-year administration, notwithstanding that they contribute significantly to the U.S. economy, tax-base and the workforce.

Fracking kills. It poisons our water and creates vast regions of desolation from man-made earthquakes. It is financed by corporations that wield a dangerous amount of influence and control over our lawmakers. These corporations care nothing for the welfare of their workers or for the people who live in communities devastated by fracking. We reject their power and we reject all forms of fracking!
