  • Dunkin' Donuts: Ditch Styrofoam in R.I.
    Along with plastic bags and bottles, Styrofoam is a major source of trash along Rhode Island's coast, threatening Narragansett Bay and taking centuries to break down. Dunkin' Donuts has removed its ubiquitous Styrofoam cups from a handful of New England towns that have enacted Styrofoam bans. Join us in urging Dunkin' to remove Styrofoam from all Rhode Island locations––for the sake of Narragansett Bay and all of us who treasure it.

  • Restore the Glass-Steagall Act
    For decades, the Glass-Steagall Act supported prosperity in the United States. It did so by reining in risky behavior by financial institutions. Its repeal in 1999 led to reckless and ruinous financial practices. In 2008, those practices caused worldwide financial disaster. Despite efforts to enact laws that would protect our financial system, intense lobbying by the banking industry has meant that our financial system and economy remain at risk. Our banking system must be stable and must serve the people by creating an economy that supports all of us, not just the wealthy. The Glass-Steagall Act provided excellent protections for the economy as a whole. While it may require updating to meet the challenges of today's more interconnected world, its reenactment will limit risk and provide a secure economy. Contact your legislators, and sign this petition: Reinstate the Glass-Steagall Act Now.

  • Calling Out Taking Food From Our Already Hungry Children As Child Abuse
    We, the undersigned, do not condone the intense brainwashing by our media and congress to frame the current threat by government to take food away from the one in four American children who already suffer hunger, and the chronic disabling effects of hunger, as a notion that belongs in the domain of Republican-Democrat viewpoints. The threat of increasing hunger in populations who already don’t have enough food to eat, is not one of political viewpoint, but instead belongs in the domain of child abuse. When a parent neglects to feed her children, we do not consider this her ‘viewpoint’; we call the child abuse hotline and get the child into a setting where the child’s basic needs can be met. Were a parent to keep a child so hungry that the child suffered pain, headaches, nausea, and couldn’t concentrate in school, we would all be outraged at the sadistic level of abuse. Our government, knowing almost a quarter of American children are suffering this level hunger, taking away what little food these families have, is an act of child abuse of the most devastating and sinister order. Clearly, funds are not the issue, as we somehow have $50,000 per year per (healthy) inmate (more for those needing medical attention) to imprison individuals who resort to stealing, but somehow are supposed to buy the brainwashing that we don’t have monies to provide $4.50/day for our poorest persons for food stamps. In addition, economists estimate that every dollar of SNAP benefit, adds $1.79 of economic benefit to the community. More than 80% of SNAP households have one or more members employed, with 87% of recipients living in households with children, elderly, or disabled persons. The more children get sick from hunger the more the low-wage earner has to take off from work resulting in job loss. Due to the economic crash, between 2007 & 2011 unemployment increased by 96% & SNAP by 70%. The average time on SNAP is 9 months as families find their way out from beneath the poverty line. We will not participate in condoning cutting programs that feed those suffering hunger as one of political party affiliation, and here join in calling it out as the child abuse (also elder abuse and abuse of the disabled) it is. We demand and here petition that our Senate and House of Representatives immediately stop the abuse and treat the epidemic of hunger in this country caused by the economic recession, as the national emergency it is, and respond as we do with the national emergencies caused by hurricanes, earthquakes, etc., by pouring funds into correcting the situation, including by creating jobs, including by using monies from our Defense/Homeland security coffers. That is, doing whatever it takes to fulfill our obligation as adults, our intrinsic role as guardians of the children, to see to it that our children have food to eat.

  • Healthcare Coverage Ending for Spouses
    If the federal health care law is not changed to require coverage of an employee's spouse and family it will encourage other companies to eliminate this benefit. Already 70% of American are struggling everyday to make it and salaries have not kept up with inflation since 1973. Fewer companies then ever offer healthcare benefits or find a loophole around it by only hiring part time employees. Companies need to start paying their employees better and preserve the healthcare benefits provided to employees, spouses, children and retirees. We need to change the federal law to make companies do what is right because otherwise they will just do what is in their financial best interest their employees be damned. This is a loophole that needs to be closed. Let's close it. Please sign this petition to change the Federal healthcare law to require employers to cover the spouses of employees along with their children.

  • Stop Cable Companies From Holding Us Hostage
    I am starting this petition because our cable companies are charging way too much money for us to be able to watch our television programs, have access to the internet and have phone service. Many of us are on a fixed income and cannot afford the rates these companies are charging....and the rates only keep going up. This needs to change and return to the way it was before the FCC ruled that we would have to have a cable box in order to have access to television channels that previously were free through a VCR.

  • JAIL the Koch Brothers!
    Is there a crime the Koch brothers have NOT committed? They have committed massive ecocide and have even killed people with pollution. They have bribed our politicians and corrupted politics so completely that we now live in a corrupt and fascist corporatocracy instead of a democracy.
