• Support a "Rule of Ninety" Retirement clause
    State workers in the current retirement system have to work until age 65 before receiving their pension, regardless of their years of service. (This bill allows workers as young as 55 to retire, but they would have to have at least 35 years of service.)

  • Corporate vs. Social Welfare
    MPN (Mint News Press), Trisha Marczak. Please read this piece from Ms. Marcak and get this information out to anyone in the press or others since this is such a timely subject. People should know that Corporate welfare in 2007 was more than $90 billion. Social welfare programs were $59 billion. Show the citizens why Paul Ryan's budget is a sham.

  • Reinstate Even Start
    Families across NYS lost pre-school and adult literacy education when Even Start was cut. Without Even Start, families with parents getting their GEDs and children learning to read and write in a quality pre-school classroom environment have come to a standstill. There is no preschool, parents can't get to parent-teacher or special ed conferences at their regular schools, and the parents still do not have their GEDs.

  • Save Our Post Office Iowa
    Our goal is to save the U.S. Postal Service from drastic cuts in service. We want the postal service to cease closing mail processing plants. We want the postal service to continue 6 day delivery and we want the postal service to stop closing post offices and cutting retail operating hours. Our goal is to see the dramatic pre payments into retirement accounts to stop and be returned to the postal service. We are proud of our postal network in Iowa and want to keep it the way it is.

  • College Tuition Loan Debt
    College students graduating by the hundreds and no jobs, or jobs paying below what their degrees dictate. So they are faced with either having no job or taking what they can get in order to live, but still not enough to pay for cost of living and tuition payments. I am being affected by this right now. My daughter has college debt that I don't know how we will pay it. I have been laid-off for 4/5 years now. I am not able to help her. I understand may other college students are in the same predicament. I understand it has been referred to as another Mortgage Crisis (yet is is College Debt Crisis)

  • Let my people live: Male? Female? You tell me
    The laws currently written in the state of Tennessee state that with or without surgery, the gender on your birth certificate cannot be changed. That is wrong. No one should have to go through life being labeled something they aren't.

  • CNN Should Apologize for Sympathizing With Steubenville Rapists
    On Sunday, March 17, 2013, CNN broke the news that the Trent Mays and Ma’lik Richmond had been found guilty of the rape of a 16 year old unconscious girl. Rather than celebrating the fact that justice had been served, CNN then spent the next six minutes lamenting the fact that these boys' lives were ruined. CNN was perpetuating our society's rape culture by sympathizing with rapists rather than the victim. See the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=MvUdyNko8LQ#!

  • Fix Our Broken Immigration System
    Deportations will continue to destroy immigrant communities and families unless Congress and the White House act to create a pathway to citizenship for all. We were promised a comprehensive immigration reform bill by now, but Congressional leaders have yet to produce legislation. Please sign this petition to urge our elected representatives in Washington to put a bill before the American people, and to act fast to fix our country's broken immigration system once and for all.

  • Take action to eliminate Government Corruption by assigning an Independent Prosecutor.
    The reason people should be very concerned about this is, Corporations now have the network within both State and Federal Gov't. to influence decisions for both Civil and Criminal lawsuits. In my case, my former employer intentionally discriminated against me by terminating me while on FMLA/ Disability Leave. My case has been fraudulently influenced by my former employer, Hooper Holmes, Inc. - Basking Ridge NJ with clear cooperation (complicity) by the actions of Fed. EEOC, DOL and DOJ; NJ Div. Civil Rights, NJ Attorney General's Office, NJ Superior and Appellate Courts.
