Student Loans Repayment CapCurrently there is no way out of student loans other than death (or hardship). I propose capping repayment at double what you borrowed. So if you've repaid what you borrowed twice over, the rest will be forgiven.14 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Daniel W. Cleaves

Recall Rick ScottFlorida needs someone who'll bring jobs to the state, not someone whose political ideology stands in the way of people making a decent wage. Bring the high-speed rail and other businesses to Florida. Floridians need jobs not a do nothing govenor. We want someone who works FOR the people, not against them and their families.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Arturo Boso

U of C alumni petition against UCPD violenceFour people were brutally arrested by the UCPD during a peaceful demonstration this Sunday, including a student and an alumnus of the University of Chicago. This goes against the spirit and ideals of the University of Chicago, and thus as alumni, we must make our disapproval known.38 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Hannah Chazin

UNIONIZE OFFICE JOBSThe California office workforce is one that is an 'AT WILL' entity, which gives support, as it were, to the derogation and abuse of the office worker by those in 'Upper Management'. I, myself, have come under unfair actions more than once and have been either terminated from my job unfairly or otherwise forced out. I have also seen various and suppressive actions used by those in Upper Management against their workers due to ego concerns, and believe that unfair targeting, termination, and suppression of an individual's rights should be henceforth stopped in the office workplace altogether.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Patricia Foy

Family Members With SkillsThose wishing to lawfully enter this country and sponsored by a relative should be given priority. My friend is due to graduate in a year college in Brazil. Her sister has lived here for five years and graduated UCF with a BA in Business Administration. The country needs translators, and my friend speaks five languages and translates for business English to Portuguese. We should make immigration and work visas easily obtainable for people of skill and education who are sponsored by relatives.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Daniel Arnold

Operation Sheriff Reach - OhioAs Federal and State legislators debate potential gun control laws, citizens are becoming overwhelmingly concerned about their Constitutional Rights. This petition (in the form of a letter) will be delivered to each Sheriff in each county in Ohio. The letter asks that County Sheriffs do not enforce or honor any new federal gun laws imposed by the federal government that will infringe on the County's citizens' 2nd Amendment rights. Furthermore, the letters, whether signed by the country Sheriff or not, will be presented to Ohio State Legislators and the Governor. We will request that a new state law bans the enforcement of Federal legislation that contradicts Constitutional Rights.98 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ron Jaworski

Governor Bentley: Accept Federal Medicaid Funds or Face Discipline as a Doctor Politician for obs...Hi, Last year, Governor Robert Julian Bentley MD announced that he would not accept new federal dollars to expand the state's Medicaid program. By rejecting these funds, over 300,000 Alabamians will be uninsured. Tell Governor Bentley to reverse course and accept federal Medicaid dollars and protect the 300,000 Alabamians that would benefit or face being disciplined for obstructing health care to so many Alabamians. That's why I signed a petition to Governor Robert Julian Bentley MD, which says: "Over 16% of Alabama residents don't have health insurance, including many children. By rejecting Medicaid expansion funds from the federal government, you are obstructing over 300,000 Alabamians who would benefit from this healthcare. Please reverse course and accept the federal Medicaid dollars and help Alabamians in need of basic healthcare, and stand by your ethics as a Physician politician."3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Will Freman

Give them a chance at the American DreamMany of the people we see working around our state day after day are people who are working for a better life. Maybe they are the children of someone who came earlier, or maybe they have children who want a chance to live the American dream. People who are working productively in our society should have a chance to move toward citizenship. We need to support the President's plans for immigration reform.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Marcia Bailey

Let People with Disabilities Have a VoiceMy sister has a trustee that hasn't been doing what is best for her as beneficiary of a Special Needs Trust. People with disabilities should have rights just like any other individual. Including the right to remove a trustee if they feel that what the trustee has done is not in their best interest and the right to make decisions regarding their trust.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Melissa Edwards

NC Governor Threatens Liberal Arts Funding in NC Colleges and UniversitiesOn January 29th Governor Pat McCrory said publicly he would propose legislation to overhaul the way higher education is funded in North Carolina, putting the emphasis on job creation not liberal arts. Referring to a hypothetical gender studies course, McCrory said, "That's a subsidized course. If you want to take gender studies that's fine, go to a private school and take it. But I don't want to subsidize that if that's not going to get someone a job." The governor said he instructed his staff Monday to draft legislation that would change how much state money universities and community colleges receive, "not based on how many butts in seats but how many of those butts can get jobs."829 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by Betsy West
