We the People - Take Back the StreetsIt is time to take back the streets, public places, and homes of America from gangs and criminals by enforcing existing gun regulations and, where necessary, passing reasonable and common-sense new regulations, without negating the Second Amendment rights of peaceful and law-abiding citizens.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Cathi Brunacini

Support STEAMThis petition hopes to gain support and momentum for a STEAM-based learning approach into the core curriculum by including the "A" for "arts" into the present standard of STEM. As an artist educator, I witness innovation that grows from creative thinking and making processes, incorporating all aspects of science, math, and technology through authentic inspired problem solving methods. The Congressional STEAM Caucus is a giant step toward creating meaningful educational practice that leads to inspired and innovative minds.87 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Karen McGarry

Support the Comprehensive Immunosuppressive Drug Coverage for Kidney Transplant Patients ActI had a kidney transplant in 2012. The current Medicare coverage, for assisting with anti-rejection meds, is limited to 36 months after the transplant. People without private medical coverage will generally not be able to afford the meds ($1500-3000 per month) after the Medicare coverage ends in 36 months, and will lose their new kidney, end up on dialysis, and back on Medicare to cover the higher cost of dialysis.33 of 100 SignaturesCreated by David Parnell

Congress: Don't Stamp Out The Post Office!A Republican effort in Congress created the US Post Office's financial crisis in an effort to destroy it and subsequently privatize it. In 2006, Congress required the Postal Service to “pre-fund 75 years’ worth of future retiree health benefits over a 10-year period.” No other government agency has this artificial financial burden and this is mainly responsible for the USPS's financial troubles. They are required by law to fund benefits today for future employees who aren't even born yet! Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe has proven too weak to stand up to Congress and is planning to eliminate Saturday service which is the first step in the downward spiral leading to the elimination of the Post Office entirely. Congress will only act if pressured by the people who elect them into office.180 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Lance Dixon

Gov. Shumlin: Support tax on sugar sweetened beveragesBeverages with added sugar/corn syrup such as soda are a serious public health issue, resulting in obesity, poor nutrition and tooth decay. A tax on them would discourage their consumption, especially among lower-income individuals and families. It is not a regressive tax as no one is forced to pay it, and public health will improve if people choose to avoid the tax by not buying these beverages.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Stephen Falbel
