Proportional ELectoral RepresentationProportional electoral representation would give the American electorate that political power which special interests have monopolized. Our current winner take all, gerrymandered, and bought form of electoral representation unjustly concentrates both political and economic power in a few individuals and entities.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by C.V.

Speed Bumps to Save Our Kids!On May 14, 2013, a drunk driver was arrested after ignoring the 4-way stop at the corner of 187th Loop and 41st Street and running her car onto the sidewalk. If children had been playing in the street or on the sidewalk, lives could have been lost. Drivers are consistently failing to fully stop at this 4 way stop and it is endangering our children. The Homeowners Association refuses to take action. We want the Homeowners Association to install speed bumps and blinking light stop signs. Please don't let a child get hit by a car this summer - sign this petition to show the Association that our kids should receive more attention than our landscaping!1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Maureen Winningham

Tell Congress: Don't Pass a Farm Bill that Lets Monsanto Wipe Out State GMO Labeling Laws!Monsanto has been poisoning our food and environment for nearly 20 years. Consumers are finally fighting back, by demanding labels on GMO foods. Will Monsanto try to take away our right to pass state GMO labeling laws? Monsanto already slipped a rider into the emergency Continuing Resolution, giving the biotech giant immunity from federal law. Now, there is talk of an amendment or rider to the 2013 Farm Bill that could take away states' rights to pass GMO labeling laws.175,776 of 200,000 SignaturesCreated by Katherine Paul

Craig Watkins: Don't Seek the Death Penalty Anymore.The death penalty does not act as a deterrent. It is also exorbitantly costly and deeply flawed. We demand that Texas DA's stop seeking the death penalty and instead embrace life-without-possibility-of-parole (LWOP) as an alternative to the death penalty.7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Hadi Jawad

Increase Social Security Payments For SSDI and SSI.Expanding Social Security by $800 a month would help those who are disabled and unable to locate housing due to high cost of renting and waiting lists for housing, be able to afford a small rental on their own, thus improving housing for the disabled as well. Housing for disabled Americans is horrendous.58 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Karen Ehrhart- Pereira

Gun ControlTo resolve the gun problem, my answer is to repeal the 2nd amendment. It is not being enforced as was it's intention -- "militia". Also it was written 200 years ago when a rifle fired ONE bullet and took several minutes to reload. I believe guns only belong in the hands of law enforcement and the military. As far as hunting, I don't see how killing a helpless deer is a sport!4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Judith Rosen

BLM: Take Better Care of Captive Wild Herds – Stop Warehousing ThemSeveral diseases are now rampant in Bureau of Land Management (BLM) wild horse holding facilities due to poor husbandry and overcrowding. Currently, none of the diseases is life threatening, but all of the diseases make the horses uncomfortable and can permanently disfigure the horses (papilloma virus creates bloody warts all over their faces), making their chances for adoption nil, and making them vulnerable to being sent to slaughter. In addition, the horses' hooves are not being trimmed. Some are in danger of being permanently lame from lack of trimming for over one year. Clearly space is currently limited, and conditions are untenable for removing any more animals from the range and placing them in the BLM wild horse warehouse system.
