I am going to be forced out of my home because my home is underwater. The President needs to make the banks refinance homeowners that are underwater by creating a Principal Reduction law.

In January 2012, Chicago City Council removed the existing water fee exemption for not-for-profit organizations (NFPs). The Interfaith Coalition to Restore the Water Fee Exemption for Religious Institutions is working to restore this accommodation for qualifying NFPs to allow NFPs to continue to provide services to their community.

Corporate spending to influence elections needs to be checked. If we cannot outlaw it we need to require a shareholders vote authorizing every political expense by shareholders.

A coalition of Illinois organizations (MoveOn, Move to Amend, Common Cause, Illinois PIRG, Public Citizen, the Coffee Party and others) have been successful in passing resolutions to overturn Citizens United in numerous cities, counties and townships including the City of Chicago, Oak Park, Kane County, Northfield, Warren, and Avon Townships. Ballot measures passed by margins of 70% or higher. Now we are turning our attention to the Illinois State Legislature. We have drafted a resolution (and we have a sponsor) that calls on the US Congress to pass and send to the states for ratification an amendment to the Constitution to overturn the Supreme Court's "Citizens United" decision. This decision allows unlimited indirect contributions by corporate PACS and wealthy individuals to campaigns of those who work in their best interest rather than ours, the voters. This resolution also states that money is not equivalent to First Amendment free speech rights, and that rights spelled out in the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and subsequent amendments apply ONLY to human beings and not corporations or other artificial entities. Only voters can make the difference by huge numbers of people pushing back against money in politics and changing the way elections are funded at every level of government. Join with us to get this resolution passed in the Illinois State Legislature by signing the petition below to show your support.

On behalf of the 87,000 parents of children targeted to lose their BadgerCare due to Governor Walker refusing federal Medicaid money that would have covered an additional 177,000 people in WI, we say, "Do what Gov. Scott of Florida did, and change your mind. Cover those 177,000 people."

People with disabilities when typical people use the "R" word to describe them.

Afghan elected leaders do not want foreign troops in their country. US taxpayers do not want the occupation and cannot afford it. US should withdraw its troops and drones. Taliban will make some gains, but not succeed in defeating the Afghan government. US will not be responsible for Afghan affairs any longer. Currently our presence sets back the causes of democracy, peace, and reconciliation.

Fracking in New York could pollute our air and water, but fortunately the New York State Assembly just passed a bill to keep fracking out of New York for at least two years. Help us make sure it has the votes it needs to pass the State Senate and get to Gov. Cuomo's desk. Join us in telling the New York Senate and Governor Cuomo: we don't want fracking in New York.

I was illegally fired for organizing to improve conditions at the Walmart warehouse near Chicago where I work. Walmart's contractor, Roadlink, broke the law and Walmart's own Standards for Suppliers. We demand that they live up to the Standards for Suppliers and reinstate the workers immediately and that Walmart enforce its own Standards for Suppliers. We need to stop illegal retaliation for organizing in the Walmart supply chain! We need you to join us in calling on Roadlink to settle the unfair labor practice charges and reinstate me and my co-workers with pay now.
