2,200,000 Prisoners In The USA Costing Over $1 Trillion Per Year!!It Is A National Disgrace The USA has more people in Prison than any other country and it costs over $1 Trillion per year. We are all affected by this disaster. We should ask both the States and Congress to reduce prison populations by half over the next five years.

FUND THE WARSOnly our soldiers, their family and friends have sacrificed for these wars! It is UNPATRIOTIC to not fund these 2 long expensive wars ... even if like me, one is against them. *** In 1950 and 1951 Congress increased taxes by close to 4% of GDP to pay for the Korean War, even though the high World War II tax rates were still largely in effect. In 1968, a 10% surtax was imposed to pay for the Vietnam War, which raised revenue by about 1% of GDP.***1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Lynn Marquardt

Senators Warren and Cowan: Do NOT vote in favor of proposed change in CPI for current and future...Congress will vote on a proposed change to how social security benefits are calculated. Using chained CPI instead of CPI-W will reduce benefits to current and future retirees. Even Paul Ryan has said this will have a very small impact on deficit reduction; however, the impact will be far greater on individual retirees who are dependent on social security. One Republican congressman called it, "a shocking attack on seniors." Contact your senators and don't let this travesty happen.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Marilyn Leo

Alzheimer's Facilities: GPS Wander Guard BraceletsMany Alzheimer's and Dementia Facilities use a Bracelet that sounds an alarm when a wandering patient walks outside. However the Bracelet does not have a GPS tracking device, and if the staff is unable to, or does not act on the alarm immediately, the patient may be at serious risk. My Mother-in-law who had dementia walked out of a Alzheimer's facility and although an alarm was tripped the staff was not aware of her missing for at least an hour. Despite a massive search including the family, staff, city, county, and State police she was found dead of hypothermia many hours later. She could have been found immediately with a GPS tracking device!220 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Charles Hommen

NO Walmart in the Village of Pleasant Prairie, WisconsinGuess what Pleasant Prairie, your Outdoor Theater (which opened in 1949) sadly is scheduled to close after this summer. Unfortunately, this lot along with at least two others has caught the attention of none other than - Walmart Stores, Inc, who is reportedly looking at multiple locations in Pleasant Prairie to build a store. Pleasant Prairie is prime real estate between two major cities for new, small businesses to set up shop. Studies have proven that Walmart is a small business killer, no one can compete with the cut throat competition that is Walmart. This will not encourage new business growth in the Village. Walmart is also a leader in minimum wage, no benefits, part time jobs. This is not a sound economic decision for the Village of Pleasant Prairie. Is this the vision you have for your Village? I encourage you to watch the documentary: Walmart: The High Cost of Low Prices. Youtube link to full movie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jazb24Q2s943,606 of 4,000 SignaturesCreated by Shanon

Support The Bee Research and Discovery CenterAnyone who eats food knows that bees pollinate over 30% of the food we eat and 80 - 90% of flowering plants. Without bees pollinating our flowers you would never eat an apple or an orange again unless a human pollinated each flower individually.16 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Eric Moshier

SAVE THE AZUSA ADULT SCHOOL FROM CLOSINGPetition Background Adult Education plays a vital role in the Azusa community. Since 1928 the Azusa Adult School provides a wide range of learning opportunities that meet the needs of the community’s diverse population. In today’s suffering economy taking away these valuable educational opportunities and resources just doesn’t make any sense. Please add your name to the "SAVE THE AZUSA ADULT SCHOOL" petition. The adult education funding issue is bigger than Azusa and rebuilding a school system after it was shut down will be hugely expensive...179 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Veronika Delvaux
