Tell the Senate to Pass Immigration ReformIn America we believe that everyone is equal, period. But that's not how our current immigration system works. Under our current immigration laws, immigrants currently living in the US without papers have no way to fix their immigration status and pursue the rights obtained through citizenship. These immigrants -- many of whom are American in every way but on paper -- are doomed to a life in shadows. They are prevented from doing things many US citizens take for granted, like driving, working, applying for credit cards, and even from visiting sick family members overseas. The Senate will soon vote on an immigration bill that will would fix this tragedy by creating a pathway to citizenship for these 11 million Americans without papers. Through this pathway, students, workers, family members, and even some immigrants with deportation orders under the previous broken system would finally be allowed to pursue their American dream and eventual citizenship. Advocates have been fighting for these reforms for years, and we have never seen a better chance for making these dreams a reality. But some anti-immigrant senators -- lead by Sen. Jeff Sessions -- are trying to kill the bill by destroying the path to citizenship and promoting inhumane policies that would keep these 11 million people in the shadows so they "self-deport." Our movement has reached a tipping point and we need your help to finish the job. We need you to tell your senators to support the immigration bill with the pathway to citizenship, now more than ever. It's time for Congress to pass this bill. Please tell your senator to vote YES on immigration reform with a pathway to citizenship for the 11 million Americans without papers.11,383 of 15,000 SignaturesCreated by Matt Hildreth

Put the CDC in charge of nutritional informationOur regulatory system for nutrition standards and food safety is split between two agencies, neither of which is responsible for our general health. The USDA is primarily devoted towards representing crop producers and food manufacturers as its mission is the marketing of US agriculture while the FDA is focused on drugs and medicine. Both are heavily compromised by the industries they serve. We need a science based authority to provide nutritional guidance and reduce the diseases of diabetes, heart disease, cancer and Alzheimer's disease, illnesses that are primarily caused by poor nutrition, and to protect our food supply. We have a competent agency already that is able to protect us from disease; the CDC.67 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Dan Brunell

Auto Safety Inspections should be about SafetyThe new rules (from who?) concerning Auto and Truck Safety Inspections are no longer about safety. State residents are now obligated to bring their vehicles to like new condition whether it has anything to do with safety or not. I was failed because of the parking brake indicator light and a customer of mine had to pay $1000 to fix torn CV boots. Another customer had to pay $400 to replace a tail light lens that had a barely visible crack. We need our regulations to make sense and the new Safety Inspection rules do not.58 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Daniel Bal

Stop the field testing of genetically engineered cropsA farmer in Oregon just got an unwelcome surprise: he found genetically engineered (GE) wheat growing in his field. The most surprising part: GE wheat was never approved for use — it's only been used in field tests. This discovery has serious implications for farmers (half of all U.S. wheat is exported, and many countries won't buy GE-contaminated wheat) and for consumers who can no longer be sure that their wheat isn't genetically engineered. Tell the USDA that GE crops can't be controlled, and that we need to end field tests of GE crops.436 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Sarah Alexander

Tell Gov. Nixon to Stand with Missouri's WorkersOne of the worst attacks on Missouri's working men and women this session came in the form of SB29 - the Paycheck Deception bill. This dangerous, unfair and unnecessary bill passed when a small majority of state representatives sided with special interests over their own constituents. Fortunately, we have the numbers to prevent this dangerous legislation from becoming law. Sign our petition asking Governor Nixon to veto SB29 and add your voice to the chorus of supporters for Missouri's workers.868 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by We Are Missouri
