We're incredibly close to passing online voter registration in Illinois, but we need to make our voices heard before lawmakers in Springfield adjourn for the year! A bill that would bring online voter registration to Illinois has already cleared a major hurdle in the state Senate, but it still needs to pass the full House and Senate before the end of the week, and a vote could be as early as today. Sign the petition TODAY so that Illinois can create a more innovative, open, and accessible democracy. Once you've signed, take a second to CALL your lawmakers to tell them to support Illinois online voter registration! Petitions are great, but phone calls will make a huge difference as the vote nears. Find their phone numbers here: https://salsa.wiredforchange.com/o/6121/c/10054/getLocal.jsp.

how could the president desert us..........he should not touch social security. he promised us not to take what is rightfully ours. we paid into it & earned it. we're very, very disappointed in our democrats & obama

To stop Veteran Charity Abuse!!

this petition concerns two things really vital to middle class families-Social Security/Medicare and the Postal Service.

Congress should have to suffer just like the population that they are "supposed" to represent. We should demand they take 25% pay cuts, slash their pensions, and limit their medical.... Also, demand that once they retire, there is no double dipping i.e. becoming a Lobbyist and making millions.

The federal government, at the initiative of the President should buy, expropriate, or acquire by any means the site of the massacre at Wounded Knee and turn it into a monument. The United States has since its inception carried out a racist Holocaust against Native Americans, broken the treaties it made, confiscated land, destroyed a culture, and herded free and ancient peoples into concentration camps called reservations where they reside to this day. These crimes against humanity are a record of shame that stains the flag and identity of the United States. Not to honor this site and create a memorial would be yet another stain.

Automobiles and drivers are subject to government regulations that ensure some degree of public safety. Why not guns and their owners?

As the Survivor of Long Time Spiritual abuse, and then of the Domestic Violence and Emotional Abuse that was made acceptable through my training as a child "in the church," it has become my rallying cry and my Duty as Clergy to speak up and speak out and scream it loud and proud that we are not going to take it anymore...Violence in our streets starts with violence at home

There is no public transportation in Georgetown, Texas to Austin, Texas. Most folks shop, eat, and must to go to Austin for entertainment and nightlife since Georgetown will not allow much of the above.

The single purpose of filibustering is to delay voting about issues before the Congress. By talking about irrelevant issues or parts of a bill that are not the main bill(ie,filibustering), important votes are delayed, sometimes indefinitely.Limiting each bill to one issue and discussing only the single issue up for vote will be more efficient and the public will see exactly how each member of Congress votes on the single issue without excuse.

Do not touch Social Security, leave it the way it is, Seniors live off it and depend on it. To change it would cause them to decide between eating and taking medication. Paying rent or buying food. Life or death.
