California: Donate Life Paid Leave of AbsenceI'm Kidney Failure Patient 100% dependent on Dialysis. I'm looking for a Living Donor to Donate a Kidney to me. I haven't found one person willing to be tested. There's not enough awareness about being a Living Organ Donor. The Donor will need at lease 6 weeks off work after the surgery. In these days most people can't afford to be without pay for 6 weeks. So we have people like myself waiting on a List, or die waiting on a List for our number to come up.12 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Tammy C

Stop Corporations From Taking Over the Healthcare Sector Now!This is the second Florida nursing home i've worked in that's been taken over by a corporation. Corporate takeover affects each and every one of us-staff and patients. The first thing corporations do, without any knowledge about caring for people, is to clean house. This is a people and not product-centered industry. We need to look at more than just numbers and figures on a piece of paper. As long as Corporate America is in charge, staff will continue to be overworked, underpaid and patients will continue to receive care that is sub-par!5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Melanie Calder

Noise control: Leaf BlowersLeaf blowers are adding unnecessary noise pollution to the environment and robbing people of their right to peace and quiet. Typically they are used in park like settings, where people are going to get away from all the noise to begin with. They are so loud that the sound cuts right through my walls and disrupts my business. The non stop noise is driving me batty.25 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Lexy

Senator Baucus: Do the right thing.Senator Max Baucus recently voted against a bill to expand background checks for gun purchases. 79% of Montanans and an even higher percentage of the rest of the country supported this bill. Senator Baucus has since said he would listen to what Montanans have to say about this issue and would take that into consideration if the bill is re-introduced for a vote. What's even more disturbing about Senator Baucus' "no" vote, is that he has stated that he will not be running for re-election in 2014 and has decided to retire. It's unconscionable that Senator Baucus and the rest of Congress can't even pass this one little step to address the issue of the horrible gun violence that has infested this country.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jerry Voss

Congress is not to vote on their own pay/benefits package.Sick of Congress treating themselves like royalty and sticking it to those who vote them in to office. Congress should never vote on their own pay/benefits package. Pay, Raises, Benefits are to be put on ballots and only the people, who elect them, decide what they are worth. Most of our problems stem from bills Congress has enacted or vetoed. All Americans are losing something and Congress should be the first to feel the pain, not the last.8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Christine Maxwell

Home Loan Modification LawBorrowers government bail out program: HAMP1 and Hamp2 and Department of Justice foreclosure prevention programs are a presidential public relations fruad. We seek to make Home foreclosure's avoidance mandatory and its qualifications/requirement for its applicants non contingent and enforceable under law. We seek an immediate freeze on all home foreclosures, a reversal of all home property sold at a foreclosure sale and the return of the property to its rightful owner. Bank of America and other national lenders are refusing to provide home loan modifications under the HAMP1 and HAMP2 and Department of Justice guidelines because Obama made a typically useless program which has no teeth for its enforcement. Regardless of how these Loan Modifications programs are defined unless they are non contingent they will never be justly provided. Therefore we demand a freeze on all foreclosures and the unconditional right of homeowners to receive a home loan modification.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Richard

to protect our children in special education and with Independent Education Plans (IEP) to be abl...Mr. President, please have Congress may make the penalties and laws that are already in place to protect our children in special education and with Independent Education Plans (IEP) to be able to have somewhere to go to get their questions answered in their problems resolved. The districts do what they want to do, they say what they want to say, and in this district to keep the English learners separated, they school site council. Parents are frustrated because the organization’s above the local level and at the local level are filled with people were collecting taxpayer money in their only interest is keeping their job. It is now time for this to change, people should be put in charge because of their willingness to work together to make changes in special education to help other people. To make sure those parents, Guardians, and students know their rights. Meet monthly all a site that can handle the special education parents, Guardians, and students to have a safe will organize meetings with voted upon members who will take their problems and questions and get them resolved it also have the power to do so. Have mandated by laws to try to keep the politics out of the election of its members and to hold people accountable in special education in the local, county, and state levels for their actions or non-actions on complaints or ideas that would make it a lot better for the special education environment in which they live in. It is time for the secret nonbinding no action committees and organizations to be break up, and new an excited committees in action groups, an organization has to be put in their place of fresh new faces and new ideas to bring special education into 21st century and beyond. On May 2, 2013 our special education son, was raped on the campus of Hemet unified school district property under the care of an IEP that would have protected him from such happenings and a school district that stop me from entering campus because of the way I look. The school district did nothing until I talk to them at their school board meeting on May 7, 2013 around 6:45 PM and was confirmed on May 8, 2013 around the 8:03 AM they were looking into it.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by GREGORY GIVENS
