Tell Governor Rick Scott to VETO HB 655VETO HB 655. Right now, Florida's hardworking families cannot afford to get sick because more than a million have been denied access to health care coverage and none of them will have Earned Sick Time protections. This could have serious impacts on Florida's service-driven economy, not to mention the health and well-being of our families. But you can change this and protect Florida's families by vetoing HB 655.10,651 of 15,000 SignaturesCreated by Maria McCluskey

Senator Feinstein: End the suffering of same-sex binational couples!The painful choice between the country one loves and the person one loves should never happen -- yet thousands of Americans are forced to make this choice every day. The Uniting American Families Act (UAFA) will protect 48,000 same-sex families from deportation -- including the 24,000 children being raised by these families. On May 9, the mark-up process for Comprehensive Immigration Reform will begin, and we expect an amendment to be offered that would end the suffering of these same-sex binational couples, and Senator Feinstein will be the deciding vote in this process.45 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Felipe Sousa-Rodriguez

The "At Will" Firing Policy In Maine Hurts WorkersIn the State of Maine, workers have no protection against unfair labor practices. In my experience, despite my skills, knowledge, and professional work ethic, I was fired "at will."5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ellen Levine

Save public employee pensionsGovernor Corbett aided by Representative Chris Ross (R-Chester County) have decide to create a false emergency in which they want to move current PA employees from a safe pension system to a risky 401k retirement plan that will cost taxpayers more money than the current pension plan. Many other states have tried this and decided to return to a pension system because it was too costly to the taxpayers. I have been a teacher for 18 years and have paid 7.5 % of my salary into my pension. If this bill is passed public employees could lose as much as $17,000 a year when they retire. Meanwhile PA lawmakers can retire with almost full pensions, some as much as $69,000 per year up to $89,000 per year. PA lawmakers also recently voted to increase their pensions by $6,000 a year per member. Please support me and other public employees in telling the governor this plan is too costly, risky,morally unethical, and unlawful according to the PA constitution. In my many emails, phone calls, and letters to Chris Ross he assured me changing the pension was unlawful according to PA's constitution. Now he is cosponsoring a bill that actually does this184 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Ed Campbell

Brian Maienschein: Support a ban on Fracking in CaliforniaWe know that fracking will waste millions of gallons of drinking water and inject millions of gallons of chemicals into California's lands and waterways. Our lands generate billions of dollars in revenue through agriculture. Our water supply is diminishing. We must protect California's water and food supplies.221 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Don Cherf

Don't let Halliburton write the fracking rules for North CarolinaA rule that would require fracking companies to disclose the chemicals they use in the process was set to be approved by the North Carolina Mining and Energy Commission. But after oil and gas giant Halliburton weighed in, the vote on the rule was delayed, and the commission is going to rewrite the rule based on Halliburton's feedback. The Mining and Energy Commission is supposed to protect the interests of North Carolinians, not out-of-state oil and gas companies. Tell the commission this is unacceptable.4,053 of 5,000 SignaturesCreated by Dave Rogers

Ditch the "Chained CPI" IdeaEven though my benefits were cut and my taxes increased in 1982 to create a trust fund that provides full benefits to me and others though the next two decades, the "Chained CPI" proposal cuts benefits again without considering any increase on the revenue side.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jeff Donnelly
