Pay increase for Indiana ServersIn Indiana, the servers have not seen a pay increase in many years. Inflation continues to rise, the standard of living here in Indiana has increased, but we are still making $2.13 an hour. Other states have increased the the wages consistently for servers as the wages for others have increased, but we have seen no change. It is time that the government looks at our wages and makes changes to fit the standard of our economy.172 of 200 SignaturesCreated by K Schooley

Stop sale of Cincinnati HomeThis 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.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Marianne Lim

Falsified Email on BenghaziAfter 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.127 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Liam Bean

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.’"72 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Mónica Hernández

End tax-free political organizationsA 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.19 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ed Lehr
