This petition is about Reebok sweatshops. In China they are forced to work up to 72 hours a week when the company's law is about 40 hours a week and China's is about 44 hours.We are demanding better working conditions and higher pay. People are dying and being injured, they need to have more money to maintain their family.

Junk mail fills my post box—about 41 pounds each year! Only 1.4% of people respond to it; 44% goes to the landfill unopened; more than 100 million trees are destroyed per year to make it; and your local taxes are spent to dispose of it. But Postmaster General Patrick R. Donahoe wants more!

its time for the governnment to stop utility companies from increasing their rates until the public is given an increase for cost of living. These companies that control what we basically need to survive are allowed to constantly increase their revenue and be allowed tax credits from our tax dollars only to increase ttheir profits.the average person can barely pay the amounts needed for a basic way of sustaining life. The same companies will shut down vital services on people that has paid for their services for decades with no reemorse which in some cases causes death.How can they have it both ways.TThe rule is no monopolies but ameran ue and laclede gas operate under some kind of special rule which allows them to have no competition so they raise their rates at every oppertunity .while still enjoying our tax dollars to operate

Not all LGBT families can legally marry or adopt children or get to keep their children and if we don't make that change now, they will still continue to lose those rights and that's not fair.

Republicans are using the threat of filibuster to delay and prevent nominations to key posts in the Judiciary, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the Labor Relations Board and more. These vacancies allow the minority party to prevent the will of the majority from being implemented.

Sacramento cut $1 billion from our state's healthcare system and the much-needed Medi-Cal program. Without this funding, millions of Californians will lose access to quality healthcare, and tens of thousands of healthcare workers (like me) could lose their jobs. These cuts will go into effect -- unless we act now!

Prohibit the sale of Roundup as a herbicide and related Monsanto products. Remove Roundup from local hardware and gardening store shelves.

"Chained-CPI" must not become the law of the land. Because it would negativity effect the lives of millions of Seniors and Veterans who depend on Social Security to survive.

Gov. Pat McCrory says he wants to rebrand North Carolina. And he’s getting lots of help from hard-line conservatives in the NC General Assembly. We are in danger of becoming known across the nation as the “State of Madness.” There are bills to let cities declare an official religion, allow loaded guns in bars and schools, gut environmental protections, put legislators in charge of women’s health, increase UNC tuition but give vouchers for private academies. . . Already this year, we have new laws that slash unemployment benefits, deny Medicaid coverage for 500,000 poor families, and give a new tax cut for 23 super-millionaires while ending the state’s Earned Income Tax Credit for 900,000 NC families! Here’s the kicker: To make it harder for people to vote and hold officials accountable, there are also bills to cut the Early Voting period in half, ban most weekend voting, tax parents whose kids vote from their college address, require a government photo to vote, end Same-Day Registration during Early Voting, and more. This is madness! Tell Gov. McCrory you’re watching him – tell him to oppose voting restrictions and outrageous legislation. Thanks, Bob Hall Democracy North Carolina

Last week, the Heritage Foundation released a controversial immigration report, widely discredited after it was discovered that one of its authors believes that “no one knows whether Hispanics will ever reach IQ parity with whites.” Now Republican Rep. Steve King is embracing the ugly report and is using it to oppose immigration reform. King hosted a recent press conference and cited the shoddy Heritage figures as fact, saying that "at no stage in their lives" do undocumented immigrants "make a net financial contribution to this country." This was no slip of the tongue -- he upped the ante by endorsing the Heritage report as "legitimate" in an op-ed the very next day. Some leading Republicans have already spoken out against the Heritage report, including Marco Rubio and Rep. King's colleague in the House, Paul Ryan. We need Rep. King and all members of the House to stop promoting this report so offensive to Latinos. When you sign this petition, we'll make sure that John Boehner, the leading Republican in the House, sees your message as well. Demand that Rep. Steve King stop promoting hateful viewpoints as fact today.
