• Petition to cut Congressmen's pay in half this year and institute term limits.
    The Congress has shown us in the recent past that they have no interest in working for the people but are only interested in political warfare. No action is an insult to American citizens and the democratic process. For this inaction, they should be required to donate half of their salaries this year and each year, day or month they are stalemated. If they don't work, they don't get paid.

  • Save Dante's Down the Hatch in Atlanta
    There's a restaurant in Buckhead, Atlanta (Lenox area) called Dante's Down the Hatch which is a cultural gem. It has antique cars outside, a pirate ship inside with a steering wheel for kids, is zagat rated, and has been around for a while. It is being priced out of the area by raising land value making the taxes that of a 15-story office building, even though it's a restaurant. Please sign this petition so the city doesn't treat it as business-as-usual.

  • End unjust tax loopholes and undeserved subsidies to avert the sequester
    Millions of elderly, disabled and poor people are about to lose their homes because of Republicans' refusal to end unjust tax loopholes, off-shore havens, etc., and subsidies for the wealthiest Americans and corporations. It is estimated that the revenue these obscene loopholes, off-shore havens and subsidies are depriving the American people of would generate more than enough to avert the upcoming sequester.

  • Ban GMO Test Crops in Hawaii
    Companies like Monsanto are using Hawaii as a testing ground for their genetically modified organism (GMO) experiments. Due to Hawaii's remote location and year-round growing season, these companies believe we are the perfect place for these tests to occur, because if something were to go wrong, its effects would be contained here. We will not stand to be used by genetic engineering companies for their profit any longer. Get GMO test crops out of Hawaii.

  • The Value of Suction dredging should be supported
    Suction Dredging is an enviromently friendly form of mineral extraction and contributes to the benefit of Oregon economy. California has a Temporary ban on dredging and as such has lost 100's of small businesses and put many families in financal ruin. The lies put forth about dredging are just that, Science has proven over and over that Suction dredging causes little harm. Science also states facts that relate possible benefits to fish including Salmon. Oregon Tax payers pay nothing for cleanup after lawfull Suction Dredging operations, since there is no cleanup.

  • Legalize cannabis to fund Pennsylvania prison budget
    The half billion in expenses Pennsylvania owes is mostly to pensioners. Legalization of cannabis will offset this cost and provide sustained revenue beyond the retirement of the Baby Boomers. It will reduce crime, reduce overall health expenses, and stimulate community development, especially in rural areas.

  • STOP IT!
    The manipulation of our constitutional process to allow the minority to thwart the will of the majority has seriously and negatively affected the state of our union. It is time for Congress to stop representing their own personal interests and to start representing "We the people." Stalemate and obstructionism are not acceptable and it's time for Congress to STOP IT!

  • High Gas Prices
    Honorable Governor We, the consumers, are dumbfounded by the continuous rise in Gas Prices. The world supply suddenly has not shrunk nor did our President declare a war in the Middle East.

Also please start a new Inquiry on the recent up swing in Gas Price.
