End Daylight Saving Time In OregonDuring World War II, President Franklin Roosevelt instituted Daylight Saving Time, called "War" Time. We no longer need "Victory Gardens" to support our current invasions. Messing with time creates problems and is unnecessary. We need to stop this archaic practice!527 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Ed Pool

Immigration Reform NOWThere are many people in Arkansas that cannot get a driver's license or apply for Social Security benefits because they have no proof of citizenship. Many have joined the military and have served our country honorably yet cannot enjoy the same protections under the law.10 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Judy Ladd

Break-up and Limit Multimedia CorporationsIt's dangerous to allow only a few multi-media-mega-conglomerates to control all avenues deciding what information we receive. There used to be laws greatly limiting the number of media companies a corporation could own in order to protect democracy. Many years of Republican Congress eliminated these limitations. Now, only 5 (like Fox & Disney) feed us right-wing propaganda while calling it, "the liberal media".2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Fred

End Microsoft MonopolyA software monopoly is extremely dangerous in a world controlled by computers (government, military, voting, business, personal records). Stifling competition reduces innovation, job creation, price lowering, all hurting the economy. They're so powerful that, for more than a decade, the US and UK have failed to break them up or fine enough to affect them. They're rude, retaliatory, and capricious in business practices.7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Fred

Ban Fracking in CaliforniaFracking is a harmful practice with long-term problems. Drilling for more oil and natural gas does not change our dependence on fossil fuels.

Don't weaken Connecticut's paid sick days!Last year, Connecticut became the first state in the country to give workers earned paid sick time off, so they didn't have to choose between their health and their job. But now, corporate interests and big business lobbyists are trying to take away the days workers have earned to go to the doctor, or take care of a sick family member. Masquerading as 'technical fixes' to the paid sick days law, a bill in the General Assembly would actually exclude more workers from the paid sick days law, allow companies to skirt the law by temporarily reducing their staff, and make workers use more time off than they need, forcing them to use up their earned time. We should not allow our historic paid sick days law to be eroded. Tell your state representatives to oppose SB 1107!107 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Taylor Leake

Baltimore City Water BillThe water bill in Baltimore city is outrageously high at this time; It is scheduled to increase up to $90.00 per household. In the past I have paid as much as $ 1,500.00 for a water bill. After changing plumbing from the street to my home and the city changing the water meter, my bill still is $300+./ per billing. The water is not fit to drink therefore City residents are forced to buy bottled water. A delinquent water bill could cause one to loose their home. City Gov. Please fix this problem.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Betty Merritt

PROTECT OUR YOUTH FROM THE PRISON $ MACHINEThe privatization of prisons is like Pac-Man for our youth. The governors of the states are entering into agreements with private corporations like GEO, CCA, and MTC, guaranteeing prison bed capacity payments with our tax dollars while their stockholders profit. If the beds are empty then there is the impetus, the motivation to fill them - waste not, want not! So the threshold is lowered ed on crimes and ages, and the problem for private graft is solved! Hold your Governors, District Attorneys, County Supervidors, Wardens and Police accountable. Make the Attorney General and171 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Jami Bolden
