Senate: No Backdoor to Iran WarSenator Lindsey Graham and AIPAC are pushing a Senate bill (S.Res.65) that would endorse an Israeli attack on Iran and say that the U.S. should support such an attack militarily and diplomatically. This policy would allow the Israeli government to decide by itself to drag the U.S. into a new war. The bill also attacks President Obama's policy of saying that the U.S. goal is to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon, claiming falsely that the U.S. goal is to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon "capability," a vague "red line" that could be used to justify war anytime. President Obama is pursuing diplomacy with Iran, and should be encouraged to intensify diplomatic efforts. He should not be pressed to intensify military threats. Senators should not support Graham and AIPAC's attack on President Obama.

Stop the division, Stop the greed, Stop the self-interestWe must learn to be American again, not the divided America which we are now. When someone loses their job they not only lose their job they become a burden our government, they lose their apartment, their home, they cannot pay their bills. It is a wonder why our political leaders think it is OK to cut spending and jobs it will only bring down our country, people and government.6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Greg Waters

Health Care Reform for Animals!!A life is a life and a gift, We need to reform the pre-exsisting condition for animals and if you rescue a animail you should get a break in animal insurance. It is time to lower the cost overall!! So many animals are being given up because of this...I feel we are being taken advantage of. Lower animal health care cost and millions would be saved. I think it is so sad and wrong to say we can't help you because of pe-exsisting condition for any life. Life is not a business, Its about living and humanatarian to care for it. Its overdue and with what is going on in this country with expected layoffs is time to do something. I hope you agree with me and we can make something happen.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Mary O'Neil
