Stop the government from dictating what kind of light bulbs you use.The new led and other light bulbs give me a headache and have mercury in them. I want to purchase the old regular light bulbs that I have used all my life. The EPA has required stores to stop selling these and only sell the new ones.8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Sondra Sturgeon

Senator Feinstein: Take a Stand and Support the Uniting American Families ActEvery person who would seem to fall under the "column" of LGBTQ are in fact 100% human and deserve 100% equality when it comes to rights and opportunities under the law. Sexual orientation should have nothing to do with any of the considerations or provisions of the Uniting American Families Act or any other such legislation. Senator Feinstein, during a recent exchange in the political arena, you mentioned your proximity to Harvey Milk at the time of his assassination, and the devastating results of the combination of gun violence with prejudice against a politician with an outspoken stance and gay identity. While you have addressed the gun violence aspect of this issue, you should also recognize the volatility of the LGBTQ side of the issue. You, Senator Feinstein, of all people, should know as well as anyone, from your own firsthand accounts, still fresh in your memory, still affecting how you see things in the grander political landscape… you should know how important language and political perception is when it comes to the sexual orientation of those around you and how they are perceived and treated by others. Those of us who are compassionate and seek justice as it protects rights through the rule of law should take a stand and say so out loud, and our legislators who have the time, resources & wherewithal to fight for such rights should absolutely do so on behalf of those who cannot or are afraid for their own health or welfare to try to stand up and speak for themselves on such issues. This is an issue of social and cultural acceptance as well as a matter of language in a legal document. We, the signers of this petition, urge you, Senator Feinstein, to take a stand for the LGBTQ community and make certain that the rights everyone be addressed in such important legislation.34 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kirk Beitz

Cease with Cruel and Unusual Punishment for Non-Violent Crimes...Enforce 8th Amendment (Excessive...The reality of the United States having the highest documented incarceration rate in the world, No longer seeks rehabilitation, rather punishment; primarily towards Black males who commit non-violent crimes.

Tell Gabriel Gomez to sign the people's pledge!Big donors are going to be putting a lot more money in our elections, and that means they’re going to have a lot more chits to call in once one of those candidates is elected. Gabriel Gomez will not sign the people's pledge which calls for not using highly funded corporate super PAC sponsors to pour large donations to flood our televisions and radio stations which negative extremely biased political ads. Ed Markey running for senate in Massachusetts had signed the people's pledge. The people’s pledge significantly reduces outside money, it significantly reduces outside advertising, it limits dark or secret money in our elections and it boosted the role of small donors. Elizabeth Warren counted on her grassroot supporters. And the playing field should be even fair and square!3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Corey Holmes
