• Availability for Breast Tomosynthesis-3D mammo
    Research shows that breast tomosynthesis, also known as 3D mammography, can detect breast cancer by as much as 40% which may increase the chance of catching the cancer at an early stage; a cost-savings and potential life-saving benefit. Research also shows that there is as much as 40% chance of decreasing false-positives, which can decrease unnecessary callbacks to women for further testing that can increase radiation exposure and increase costs.

  • U.S. Reps: Start a Discharge Petition for a Clean Continuing Resolution
    The Discharge Petition option is almost never used, unheard of by most of our U.S. Representatives and almost certainly unknown to most citizens. A simple reminder that this procedure exists could spark an interest, and a way out for all parties concerned.

  • Say NO to a charter school at Grand and Long Avenues in Chicago.
    Chicago is a city that is turning more violent each day. Adults need to use common sense so as not to needlessly endanger children. Having two different high schools located so close to each other will put students into a situation that could explode for any reason. This whole situation could be defused by moving the site of the charter school by a few city blocks.

  • Congressional Pay Levels
    Like most Americans today I am disgusted by the antics and childish behavior of our elected officials. They can actively work against the best interests of their people, or even not work at all, and still receive salaries far outside the people they are supposed to represent. If someone from any other field were to behave in such a manner they would be out of a job.

  • Impose Fines on 113th Congress: Guilty of Sedition
    I am a disabled U.S. army veteran. I believe in true democracy and the rule of law that should govern it. If you read the actual text of the U.S. Criminal Code, it is absolutely clear that the current Congress is "by force trying to prevent and delay the execution of a law"--the Affordable Care Act. I have seen no evidence that anyone is holding Congress to the law, and that's why I'm starting this petition. No one should be above the law.

  • Make "Clean Bills" Mandatory in Congress
    Way too much legislation finds its way into law by being added to unrelated bills. Congress should make law on its merit alone, not because it was appended to a totally unrelated measure.

  • Nancy Pelosi: File a Discharge Petition
    Our government is shut down. People in all fifty states are suffering, from tourists locked out of National Parks and Monuments to children with cancer unable to sign up for clinic trials to mothers with infants and children. This standoff needs to end and the way to do that is through a Discharge Petition to force a vote on a clean continuing resolution. Get our government back to work NOW!

  • Salary control for congress
    Americans are outraged at the current system rewarding politicians and deserve to vote to bring the system back into place. Congress cannot police this themselves.

  • Term Limits For Congress
    Every American has been suffering due to politics winning over the will of the people. As a real estate broker, we have already seen buyers not being able to move because they have FHA loans or other government programs. Congress has forgotten why they are there and who's paying them. They are supposed to serve at the will of the people, all of the people, not just their party line. Please sign this petition!

  • Recall Speaker of the House John Boehner
    We all have a stake in this: if our country's credit rating is downgraded yet again due to foolish Tea Party game-playing, our entire economy could potentially crash again despite how far we've come since 2008. Speaker Boehner has the votes he needs to end the shutdown, but refuses to behave like a responsible adult and elected official. If his goal is obstruction to the point that government cannot function at all, we shouldn't be paying him for a job that he isn't doing.
