No Sequester; People above Corporations and war.Obama and the Senate have enormous power and should act to Stop the Republican's and the agenda of their Corporate Masters. We are saving our own lives and those of Teachers, Police, Firemen, Seniors, Kids and many others including the Mentally Challenged the poor and the middle class. As all of Nature is united and one and interconnected we Human Beings also are a one life and one with all of nature. And that could be the inspiration to thwart the evil that the Republican Party has become; Act for all not just the Corporately rich. Preserve Social Security, Medical and all social programs. Keep the bigger promises.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Robert Gustaveson

Together for a Safe Santa Cruz CountyToday, members of our community are rightly concerned about our public safety - including crime such as gun violence and theft, and social issues such as drug abuse, homelessness, and untreated mental-illness. Fear and frustration from these very real issues lead to ineffective reactive responses, quick-fix solutions and the scapegoating of the most vulnerable populations in our community. These reactions do not lead to the effective and sustainable solutions that Santa Cruz County needs to truly solve these problems. It is time to find another way. Many groups in our community are working to create a safe and healthy community. But no one individual, organization or group has the definitive answer. By signing this declaration, we are saying as a community that we want to work together in transparent and solution-focused collaboration for a healthier and safer Santa Cruz County. You can also visit the Together for a Safe Santa Cruz County website at www.togetherscc.com for more information.1,558 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Together for a Safe Santa Cruz County

Standardized FutureThe standardized testing, also known now as STAAR (formerly TAKS) is making a real education seem out of reach. Our kids are memorizing instead of being taught how to problem solve, and figure out problems on their own. I blame this on our cultures' need to have everything in one click. We should be investing in our kids' education not creating shortcuts for an exemplary status or extra funding. Schools used to be a place for education. Now it seems more like a business. My kids are in the 3rd and 4th grade doing algebra and geometry!! I did this in highschool. They are too young, and there is too much preasure to pass this test. Even teachers are at risk of termination due to poor testing results. Other countries got their education system from the U.S. before all this standadrized mess, and now they are all ahead of the U.S. in education. Bring back the real education that gives our children the right tools, values, and morals for the future, not a shortcut version that creates standardized dummies.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jessica

Cutting Congressman & women etc WAGES & BENEFITSThey change their wages and give themselves pay raises. We never voted on them or set their wages. They sure love to set our wages so low we can't live on one paycheck. They need to cut wages by over 50 percent and learn to live like the rest of us! We pay our way in insurance, medical, prescriptions, gas, air plane fair etc. It is time for them to pay for what they want not off our backs! We have had more than enough of doing without while they live high off the hog!1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kim bennett

Lowe's, quit running the “Make it Beautiful, Tear It Down” commercialLast August Lowe's Home Improvement began running a TV commercial, “Make it Beautiful, Tear It Down”, that portrayed a couple demolishing their home with sledgehammers before remodeling it. No mention was made of the possibility of recycling or reusing the lumber, cabinets, fixtures etc rather than sending them to the landfill. We at Zero Waste Kauai, and our national allies started an e-mail campaign to get them to pull the commercial and it appeared we were successful, but now the commercial is back again. you an check it out at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLiV3nu3y-w.12 of 100 SignaturesCreated by John Harder

No Pay Without a BudgetIf I don't do my job, I don't get paid, as I will be fired. Congress and their staff aren't doing their job, as they aren't creating and passing a real budget. Why don't we take away some of their pay until they do their job, and the money they lose will not be paid back to the represenatives or senators.9 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Dave Straka
