  • Stop sale of Cincinnati Home
    This home for the homeless has been there for ages. All because of greed, this home has been forced to sell. Just because Western & Southern had the money to fight, the court should have not approved this. All this greed and selfishness has come to a `take by force' action with no regard to the homeless and those who find refuge in this home.

  • 9/11 Attacks: Conduct an Independent Investigation
    No independent investigation has been conducted on the alleged 9/11 terrorist attacks. The American people need to know the truth about the events that took place that day.

  • Large corporations need to pay taxes
    Everyone in this great country has been affected by banks,huge corporations and their lobbyists using our existing tax laws to exclude them from paying taxes! The whole nation and every single person I talk to says and knows this is immoral and wrong. Whatever happened to justice to all? Our government needs to have the testicular fortitude to ban lobbyists and take a second look at tort reform!!!

No research concerning the impact of the project has been done by the city or state. We are looking for the city of Virginia Beach to fully understand the cost and ramifications of this project prior to the city selling the land rights to developers.

  • Falsified Email on Benghazi
    After months of dragging government personnel before the house select committee and implying that there has been a gross miscarriage of justice, CBS broke the story that key emails regarding Benghazi were falsified. The House, specifically Darrell Issa, has wasted millions of tax-payer dollars on this investigation. With the news from CBS it is obvious that this has been an effort to discredit, with inside help, on a monumental scale. It's time to call these politicians to accounts. Someone besides the perpetrator knew about the falsification and someone needs to be held accountable.

  • Raising Tricare So High: Forcing Retirees Out
    Military retirees should be very concerned about the recent increase in Tricare Prime annual fees. We are hearing that there is a planned 700% increase in the annual fee cost coming in the next few years, pricing retirees and their families out of the system, for the sole effort of forcing retired members onto OBAMACARE.

  • Senator Sessions: Don't Stand in the Way of Comprehensive Immigration Reform!
    This week hundreds of people from across the South and around the country are joining together to send Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL) an unequivocal message: “Stop your shameful attempts to torpedo immigration reform and rip apart immigrant families!” Will you join us by signing this petition? The Senate Judiciary Committee is currently marking up S 744, the “Border Security, Economic Opportunity and Immigration Modernization Act.” As a member of the Judiciary Committee, Sessions is doing everything he can to derail long-awaited and desperately needed immigration reform. He introduced 49 mean-spirited amendments that have so far been rejected even by members of his own party. Sessions has a long history of opposing civil rights and racially offensive remarks. He once called the NAACP “un-American,” made jokes about the Ku Klux Klan, and prosecuted three civil rights workers for voter fraud. He was an ardent supporter of Alabama’s HB 56, the nation’s most intrusive and hateful anti-immigrant law. Texto de la petición en español: "Senador Sessions: Deje de impedir la S 744, El Acta de Seguridad Fronteriza, Oportunidad Económica y Modernización Migratoria. Hemos esperado por mucho tiempo para reformar nuestro sistema dracónico de inmigración y sus colegas en el Senado estan trabajando arduamente para asegurar que eso suceda. Usted dice que está preocupado sobre el impacto que podría tener la S 744 en los empleos y en la economía, a pesar de que apoyó fuertemente la HB 56 de Alabama, la ley anti-inmigrante más intrusa y odiosa del país, y una ley que le está costando a su estado billones de dólares en producción económica y decenas de miles de trabajos. Alega que la familia es sagrada para usted, pero apoya políticas que están separando a miles de familias inmigrantes. Las familias inmigrantes son vitals para el Sur y este país y ayudan a fortalecer a sus comunidades economicamente, socialmente, y espiritualmente. Necesitamos una reforma migratoria integral que incluye un camino a la ciudadanía ahora. Le pedimos que permita que el Comité Judicial apruebe El Acta de Seguridad Fronteriza, Oportunidad Económica y Modernización Migratoria para que avance al Senado completo y esperamos que decida estar en el lado correcto de la historia y que vote ‘sí.’"

  • End tax-free political organizations
    A 501(C)(4) is supposed to be for “civic leagues or organizations not organized for profit but operated exclusively for the promotion of social welfare.” Note the word “exclusively.” If the organization is not 100% social welfare, it should not be exempt from taxes. Tax law exempts Section 501(c)(3) charities and Section 527 political committees from gift tax rules,but offers no such exemption to Section 501(c)(4) social welfare organizations. Political groups are flouting the law. Such groups as Sierra Club and League of Women voters do not claim such exemptions, and donations are not tax-exempt.

  • PA Adult use Act
    I have a family member who deals with a debilitating chronic illness everyday. Cannabis helps people in everyday life without the side effects of prescription drugs.It's hard to watch a family member suffer and try to live a normal life when they are in so much pain. Please try to open up your hearts and minds for this could be your Mother,Father,brother,sister,aunt,uncle or god forbid even your child and if it benefits and at least helps their particular situation try to dig inside your hearts to imagine how you would feel if you had to watch them suffer and not be able to enjoy this great country we live in or even have hope for a future! Let Freedom ring this is the city of brotherly love where the Liberty Bell hangs! Bless you All

  • Return the Anna Louise Inn to the Struggling Women of Cincinnati
    The Western & Southern Insurance Group, a Fortune 500 company headed by CEO John Barrett, used a lawsuit and its unlimited money to force the sale of the Anna Louise Inn that has served thousands of struggling women in Cincinnati, in order to turn the historic building into a boutique hotel. Barrett has long referred to the women, who live and receive services from the home, as "recovering prostitutes, saying they didn't belong in the neighborhood."* Barrett also said about the sale, "This truly is a win for everyone and will make Lytle Park a destination like no other." The Anna Louise sits across the park from Western & Southern headquarters. *http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/struggling-women-sad-angry-over-sale-of-nonprofit-ohio-home-that-will-become-a-boutique-hotel/2013/05/18/feeb5b2e-bfce-11e2-b537-ab47f0325f7c_story.html

  • President Obama: "Stop SSI benefits that prevents child support obligations".
    I was recently informed by the Division of Child Support Services saying that I could not get child support payments, because my kid's father gets SSI and they could not continue with the child support process based on the type of SSI benefits he’s receiving. I also can’t receive social security benefits for my kids either because there father is receiving the maximum amount of benefits, based on his lack of work history. I feel like that should not even be a law, this is preventing the father from paying child support, which is just morally WRONG!!!! The government system is really messed up on SO many levels, but this one hits home for me and yes this is affecting me personally. With the help and support of other I'm hoping I can get the results I want. Thank You.
