Obamacare is people-powered!

This is a petition for the removal of fluoride from our drinking water.

"We the People" cannot permit those among us - potent with pure hatred against others and hell bent on destroying our democracy and government only to make a comeback of creating a government with their limited, & restrictive ideology - where the freedoms of the minority greatly diminishes the freedoms of the majority.

Over the first 110 years of American history, corporations had no claim on the birthrights of human beings. They operated profitably and thrived. However, 127 years ago an unelected Supreme Court declared them equally entitled to the rights intended for real, natural persons. As a result corporations have abused the privileges granted them by their charters and year after year have claimed more human rights. And year after year this body of politicians in black robes has restricted our ability to claim those same rights for ourselves. As the 9th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States makes clear, We the People are sovereign. We the People have rights. Corporations and other artificial entities created by law have no rights. They have only those privileges we choose to give them so they may fulfill their purposes and meet their responsibilities to We the People.

Please let her come!

Because Trailbreaker is an old pipeline and Tar Sands is far more corrosive than other oil, the chances of a spill are almost inevitable. Such a spill would be catastrophic to the watersheds of Maine. New England has the opportunity to take a stand against this and continued climate change.

It is time to make changes in the way the federal government ignores the American people. We are the boss.

Because it is time that we get 100% participation when it comes to paying for government services.

How we source our energy affects everyone on this planet both immediately and in the future. Everyone in this planet is connected; energy we use here affects people throughout the world. The sourcing and production of fossil fuels directly affects the communities near where these processes are taking place, by polluting their water, air, food, and destroying their local ecosystems. The livelihoods of billions of people are at risk from global climate change which is being caused by the exploitation of fossil fuels. It is our responsibility as citizens of this world to reduce our negative impact on others and on our environment. Currently Central Michigan University (CMU) gets most of its energy from two sources: the general power grid and an on-campus power plant. Energy from the grid is sourced mainly from burning coal, generating nuclear energy, and burning natural gas. CMUs on campus power plant formally burned locally sourced scrap wood chips to generate electricity; however, following the boom in fracking, natural gas is now used solely in the production of this energy. Changing where we get our energy is difficult; we need to start with small projects and work our way up to sourcing our energy locally, efficiently, and sustainably. Solar is already being used on CMUs campus in a few ways, so expanding this solar infrastructure is the next step in creating a health, sustainable campus that the students, faculty, staff, and all global citizens can be proud of. Help us make CMUs campus something to be proud of!

I am a victim -- like millions of other Americans -- of a predatory home loan. I am at risk of losing my home, thereby making my children and me homeless. I ended up here because of a death in the family and an injury restricting my ability to work. The banks refused to negotiate with me when I got into an emergency situation. The banks claim that they have no legal obligation to negotiate with homeowners, but what about their moral obligations? They have completely forgotten that they were bailed out of their situation. They would rather foreclose on homes and make the people homeless and leave the homes vacant, sometimes for years. They are destroying the fabric of existing communities and neighborhoods. This is setting the stage for crimes and further encouraging gentrification. Housing is a human right. This is another white collar crime.The banks think they are invincible. They believe they are too big to be fought. Of course they have forgotten the power of collective bargaining! Let us come together and bring down this "Tower of Babel." There is no power like the power of the people!

By applying progressive patent fees, to fully funding free post secondary education for all, America could appropriately fund post secondary public education for all, greatly expanding the talent pool our economy now depends upon. It would at the same time, more rapidly drive knowledge into the public domain, make Americans more competitive, lower the barriers to market entry for new US entrepreneurs, add more product choices and restore broader competition in both domestic and global markets

We want a trade policy that creates jobs, protects the workers, protects the environment and promotes public health. Unfortunately, the legacy of recent trade agreements has been just the opposite and we do not have confidence that the TPP is going to achieve these goals without Congress exerting its authority and exercising additional oversight over the negotiations.
