  • Suwannee County say's "NO" to Toxic Waste
    The pristine natural resources of North Florida's historic Suwannee River, a nearby rare karst spring, agriculture, livestock, and the people's health are threatened by a planned medical waste incinerator’s burning thousands of pounds of medical waste per day. According to the EPA, the emissions will include acid gases such as sulfur dioxide and hydrogen chloride, as well as carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, cadmium, lead, mercury, dioxins, furans, and particulate matter. Unfortunately, our local county commissioners have recently voted on amendments authorizing special exceptions and special permits which have relinquished the Board's rights to hold public hearings and the public's voice to be heard in the matter of use of the land where this medical incinerator is to be built. We ask that the Suwannee County Commissioners reverse their previous decisions regarding land use rights and regulations for the catalyst site. Please help us stop this threat and injustice! Thank you for your support.

  • Impeach John Boehner
    John Boehner has it in his immediate power to halt the destructive course he and his Tea Party friends have set. That he has chosen not to allow a clean resolution to come to the House floor, thus allowing serious damage to continue to our citizens and the nation, is reprehensible and indicates his loyalties are not to the people of the United States. He has violated his Constitutional oath and is unfit to serve. He should be removed.

  • Recall Election if Congress Fails to Pass Budget
    The spiraling adversarial bipartisanship for personal and political party gains has made Congress increasingly dysfunctional at great cost to our country's economy and social growth. The welfare of the country and its citizens has been thrust into tertiary priority by the self-interests of politicians, large corporations and wealthy special interest groups. Currently, there are insufficient disincentives or penalties for the politicians, who paradoxically have personal incentives to shut down the government, with the cost being born by the citizens. To decrease this largely unchecked corrupted system, this petition seeks to make members of Congress much more accountable to their constituents in a concrete, specific and direct way. A mandatory recall election would create a proportionate and powerful disincentive for each and every member of a Congress that fails to pass a budget leading to a government shut down or default.

  • Setting Limits: Time in Congress
    I am beginning this petition due to the simple fact that most of Congress has been in office for far too long, leading to the same ideas for the same problems with the same result for most of the time that they are in there, leading to major problems. This petition is to also provide fresher, newer ideas to flow through Congress and provide better, easier, or downright 'common sense' solutions to problems, if it goes into effect. Signing for this petition to put it into effect can show that the power can still come from the people!

  • Tell Speaker Boehner: Enough Already! Stop this government shutdown!
    My name is Randi and I am thankful to be recently employed; however, before a month ago I was unemployed for six months. I am one of millions of Americans, specifically recent college graduates, who has been struggling in this economy to find a good job or try to start a career. This recent government shutdown is only going to make things worse in this already stunted time of economic growth. Economic growth and jobs need to be our legislators main focus. Tell Speaker Boehner to compromise and pass a clean, continuing resolution in order to put Americans back to work.

  • Get the Government Going: Bypass Boehner and the Tea Party Tantrum!
    This is a people’s issue, not a Democratic or Republican issue. We the people don’t have to understand all the rules of the House of Representatives to make our wishes known: GET THE GOVERNMENT GOING. There is a mechanism to do this--it’s called a Discharge Petition. If you’re interested in learning about it, look it up in Wikipedia. All it takes is 218 members of the House of Representatives to sign it. This would bypass the abuse of power John Boehner has been using to prevent a vote, and simply let the government pay its bills according to the laws Congress has already passed. This would bypass the Tea Party Tantrum Ted Cruz and his confederates in the House of Representatives have been using to hold the country hostage because they lost the battle in Congress about the Affordable Care Act – several years ago. The Affordable Care Act (sometimes called ACA or Obamacare) is the law of the land–it was passed by both houses of Congress, signed by the President, and upheld by the Supreme Court. And when the people of the United States are asked about most of the individual provisions of the ACA, overwhelming majorities of Americans say, “Yes, I support that.” Support getting the government going again–sign this petition!

  • Recall the House
    The American people deserve a congress that will work for them, not against them and will help to resolve the issue with unemployment and underemployment, not send people who ARE employed on un-paid furloughs!!! In light of the recent polls that say that Republicans would lose the election if it happened now, I say we make that a reality for them. Even the threat of a recall might spur a few borderline congressman into reasonable action and get the United States a budget and a spending limit that we deserve, WITH affordable healthcare!
