Save Our Post Office AlaskaOur 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 Alaska and want to keep it the way it is.195 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Jerry Stidman

Ban the Essure procedure in IllinoisAfter having my 2nd child I was offered the Essure procedure to block my Fallopean tubes. Soon after I began to experiance tingling in my hands and feet, pains in my joints, problems with my eyes and pelvic pain. After having all kinds of tests which we can't afford, I gave up and decided this was my life now. Then I found a group of women all experiancing the same problems Essure was the only thing we had in common. Many women in there early twentys are being forced to have hysterectomys to remove them. I cannot afford this and my doctor will not remove them.53 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Melissa Stanley

Restore Hemp History CurriculasMy ancestors held over three dozen hemp mills, in Upper Bucks County alone. Many hundreds of hemp mills existed throughout Pennsylvania, until the word, "marahuana*" was coined to prohibit it. *This is the spelling used by the Bucks County Court, in my 20 year old conviction for possession of a smoking pipe with trace Cannabis. I attended Police Academy Training, and even there, no mention of hemp history is in the curricula - only shrill lies about "marihuana".3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Matthew Stover

Payment in Kind for Causing the SequesterThe looming sequester is the result of a dysfunctional government. While it will wreak havoc on many of our lives, those in a position to provide a budget lose nothing. I want to change that.11 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Richard Bourgin

Wells Fargo vs. Bernetta AdolphRetired. Cancer survivor. Disabled. Single mother. Senior. And Wells Fargo is about to steal my home. My name is Bernetta Adolph, a retired employee of the City of San Francisco, and I’ve lived in my home for almost 20 years. My trouble with Wells Fargo started when I took out a loan against my house in order to ensure my only son could afford a good education. It turns out the loan to provide for my son’s future was designed to ruin my own. It was predatory, calculated to strip my equity and set me up for failure. When I tried to work with Wells to fix the loan, they offered a modification so small it didn’t make any difference. Then they started trying to take my house. The stress hastened my blindness and continues to aggravate my health problems. But I’m far from the only one to have suffered at the hands of Wells Fargo bankers. Here’s what I’ve found out: --Wells Fargo is foreclosing on more people in California than any other bank. [1] --Wells Fargo paid $175 million to settle a lawsuit by the U.S. Department of Justice alleging that it targeted African-American and Latino borrowers for high-cost loans. [2] --From 2008-2010 Wells Fargo received $17.9 Billion in tax subsidies from you and me. [3] These reasons plus stopping the theft of my home are why I’m joining with other members of the Home Defenders League and the Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment to take on Wells Fargo directly by demonstrating at their branches and headquarters all over the state on Wednesday, February 27. Not only that, but we’re also teaming up with Neighborhoods Organizing for Change, Occupy Homes MN, and Minnesotans for a Fair Economy to make the message as powerful as possible. Those groups are leading a huge day of action against Wells in Minneapolis the same time we’ll be taking them on in California. Here’s what we’re demanding: --Keep me in my home. --Deliver on promised relief through full implementation of AG settlement and other programs. --Broad implementation of loan modifications by resetting mortgages to fair market value. --Restore our stolen wealth by ending predatory practices, ending discriminatory lending and paying your fair share of taxes. Since his inauguration in January, I've joined with Home Defenders and ACCE members to push President Obama to use the first 100 days of his second term to finally hold Wall Street banks like Wells Fargo accountable for breaking our economy. Well, this week, we're taking that fight directly to Wall Street criminals themselves. They are the ones who stole our savings and our homes. It’s time for them to pay us back.

Stop the Attacks on Arizona Clean ElectionsClean Elections is a highly popular and effective system that ensures elected officials are working for their constituents and not their wealthy special interests donors. Now, Republicans in the house have introduced a bill to more than quadruple the campaign contribution limit, opening future election cycles to even greater influence by special interests representing even smaller, wealthier individuals and organizations. We cannot let them succeed. If we don't stand up now, they will just continue to attack Clean Elections until the program is destroyed. Demand they stop the attacks on Clean Elections and vote "NO" on HCR 2026.3,086 of 4,000 SignaturesCreated by Eric Ming
